Unlike the simple backup functions that are included with these handheld devices, iTunes Backup Manager lets people browse the backed up files, view and edit them, and export them to several popular PC formats. Instead of managing files using the tiny screen and keyboard of handheld devices, iTunes Backup Manager use computer's screen and keyboard to take control of files. It's easy to browse through all of critical backup files, and find the ones that interest user. iTunes Backup Manager makes it simple to view and edit files using iTunes Backup Manager's built-in plist editor, text editor, hex editor, database viewer, image viewer, SMS message viewer, notes viewer, call history viewer, and address book viewer. Before iTunes Backup Manager, only option was to restore all of backed up files to iPhone or iPod Touch without any modification. Now, people can select, view, and modify files before replace them on handheld device. The software lets people export backed-up SMS messages, notes, and address book to text files or to Excel spreadsheet files. iTunes Backup Manager gives people additional control over iPhone and iPod Touch. They can view and export SMS messages, Contacts, and Notes, to share with friends or just to keep a backup copy for safety. <code><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OUMRbiwoia4&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OUMRbiwoia4&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></code> Maintain a backup copy of all of valuable information, in case someone's iPhone is lost or stolen. With its emphasis on security, iTunes Backup Manager lets people maintain multiple backups of iPhone or iPod Touch, so if one backup copy is corrupted or deleted, they'll have another copy available. And people can restore all of backed-up files, restore only the files that have been recently modified, or restore only selected files. The most powerful feature is, people can modify the backed-up files before restore to iPhone or iPod Touch, so people can do many things that they can not do before, for example, It's simple to change iPhone's carrier name, time string, dock type, or change iPhone game data files. People can even remove a single call history record with iTunes Backup Manager. iTunes Backup Manager can export backed-up files to computer, then import back, even people modified them. Whether business managers who wants to ensure that staff has their critical iPhone and iPod Touch files backed up to protect the company from phone theft or loss, or a home user who wants to be able to manage the files on handheld device using a full-sized screen and keyboard, iTunes Backup Manager is a useful tool. iTunes Backup Manager runs under Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7, works with iTunes 8.0 or later, and supports iPhone/iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch/iPod Touch 2G with OS 2.0 or later. A single-user license costs $34.95(US). The software comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

In partnership with ConQuer Mobile and CellMap, rising stars in the mobile space, Chicwalks Media offers meticulously researched shopping walks for fashion capitals worldwide, starting with mapped shopping routes for Vancouver, Canada and Paris, France, and soon adding San Francisco as the first US city. In anticipation of the huge influx of tourists expected for the 2010 Winter Olympics, ChicWalks Vancouver is the first in a series of apps to be launched that allow shoppers to quickly and easily discover what they want to shop for in a city, from the palm of their hand. <code><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8j_bH-w70zc&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8j_bH-w70zc&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></code> “Vancouver's shopping scene ranges from top-name, international designers and chains, to funky, independent boutiques and local shops featuring unique fashions, shoes, jewellery and home decor items,” says Karen Henrich, CEO of Chicwalks Media Inc. “We document and organize it all in a way that enables shoppers to browse through snappy merchant descriptions and instantly hit the ground shopping—without having to do a lot of research and putting together tedious strategic plans.” ChicWalks Vancouver utilizes CellTouch In-App Mapping technology—a platform developed for Virtual Shopping Malls, Tourism and Event organizations that enables consumers to connect with local businesses. Says ConQuer Mobile Inc. CEO, Angela Robert: “The ChicWalks Vancouver iPhone App concept is the perfect complement to the CellTouch technology, which links GPS mapping to the shopping listings, right within the application. We’re thrilled to work with Chicwalks Media to showcase the most fashionable cities worldwide, in user-friendly, informative and stylish applications that help shoppers make the most of their time and energy.” Show Me the Shopping! Visitors to Vancouver can maximize their precious time by browsing the descriptive listings in 9 walks and deciding what and where to explore. Locals can save time by previewing what’s new, or branch out to discover another area or stores they never thought to check out. Users can immediately recoup the cost of the app through valuable, exclusive offers from walk merchants. Content is kept current with weekly updates that load quickly and seamlessly to the iPhone upon opening the application, and new walks and features and offers will be added on a regular basis. The Origins of the Shopping Walk The shopping walks are the result of founder and CEO Karen Henrich’s experience as a Paris tour operator and her frustration in trying to find one comprehensive source for all of the city’s key shopping areas. Through her sister tour company, Nuit Blanche Tours, Henrich has developed and led popular shopping tours for hundreds of English-speaking clients in Paris. She created shopping walks for customers by conducting her own meticulous research, on foot and online, and asking the advice of fashionable French friends. ChicWalks.com was born when she brought all of that research together in one user-friendly format that allows users to shop the way they want to, on a street-by-street basis. Chicwalks is taking the next step by creating mobile applications for each city to allow shoppers to have a great shopping experience, from the palm of their hand. The ChicWalks Vancouver shopping app is available for $4.99 from the iTunes App Store on iPhone and iPod touch. whatz on "100 Nazi Scalps iPhone and iPod Touch Game is Finally Launched on the Apple App Store" http://forums.whataboutmac.com/topic.php?id=1159#post-1159 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 12:31:16 +0000 whatz 1159@http://forums.whataboutmac.com/ <a href="http://www.whataboutmac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/100-nazis-scalps.jpg"><img src="http://www.whataboutmac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/100-nazis-scalps-300x190.jpg" alt="" title="100-nazis-scalps" width="300" height="190" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2819" /></a> 70 years after the start of World War II Apalon is happy to announce the launch of 100 Nazi Scalps iPhone game. 100 Nazi Scalps is an arcade styled game with unmatched graphics and sounds that allow users fully immerse into the authentic atmosphere of WW2.

With a focus on ease-of-use, Playback allows anyone to share their media with any Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or other UPnP compatible device. Playback can also share media stored in folders or even make entire disks available to a Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. No configuration required. Playback is engineered for extreme performance, while at the same time delivering a streamlined design with unparalleled reliability and stability. By default, it will share almost any content on the users system. And Playback automatically integrates with iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture, Adobe Lightroom 2, and Photobooth too, making it a perfect complement to Apple's iLife Suite. Users can share all content from these applications transparently or choose specific playlists and albums. Those who like to tinker will appreciate Playback's built-in Access Control List (ACL) and bandwidth throttling. The ACL allows users to control which devices have access to their media. Bandwidth throttling limits the transfer rate from the computer to their UPnP device. This allows others on the network to do other internet related activities, such as surf the web and check their email. Playback was engineered for extreme speed, while offering complete control of shared content. Media is served via lighttpd, the same rock-solid technology that powers YouTube, Wikipedia, and many other popular sites. Playback sports many creature comforts as well, including Growl notifications, Spotlight based searching, on-screen thumbnails (powered by QuickLook), and much more. Playback even includes a handy Status menu which conveniently displays live stream info, at-a-glance. Feature Highlights: * Streamlined design * Unparalleled performance and stability * Share movies, music, and pictures * Transparent integration with iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture, Photobooth, and Adobe Lightroom 2 * Complete control of shared content * Spotlight based searching * Quicklook thumbnails for all media * Bandwidth throttling * ACL access * Growl notifications * Status menu with live stream info * And much more What's changed in 1.1: * New: Added support for Snow Leopard's Wake on Demand feature. * New: Playback now allow different devices to have access to different content.

BoinxTV, winner of the "Apple Design Award 2009", makes a strong move to Snow Leopard, with major performance gains. The new version includes support for Axis network cameras and streamlines the production workflow. The update is free for all current BoinxTV users. "If you are not moving to Snow Leopard with BoinxTV 1.4, you are missing out on twice the speed and more in some areas of the application," says Oliver Breidenbach, CEO of Boinx Software. "And there is a lot more potential still to be realized in Snow Leopard that we will leverage in future versions." Move to Snow Leopard BoinxTV 1.4 now fully supports Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard with huge performance gains. Upgrading to Snow Leopard is strongly recommended for all users of BoinxTV 1.4 as soon as the drivers for their hardware components such as video input cards or audio interfaces have been updated to Snow Leopard compatible versions. Snow Leopard has the potential for even more performance improvements and technological advances which can not easily be brought back to previous systems. Because of this, future versions of BoinxTV will require Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Support for Axis Network Cameras BoinxTV 1.4 introduces a new layer for displaying the video from an Axis network camera. Since these cameras provide their video over the network, many such cameras can be connected to BoinxTV at the same time and over large distances. Even cameras placed on different continents can easily become sources for a BoinxTV show. Streamlined Workflow The whole recording engine has been rewritten for better extensibility and performance. With BoinxTV version 1.4 the saving of recorded movies is almost instantaneous, further reducing the production time. Common actions can be performed on the recording directly from the Export Sheet without the need to use the Finder. Numerous improvements in the export dialog speed up the workflow even more. Other Improvements New layers include an iPhone demo layer, a Quick Look layer that allows you to display almost any file within your BoinxTV recording and a Sports Standings layer that reads an XML file to display sports results in table view. Many small improvements to the User Interface make the application even more enjoyable and productive to use. About BoinxTV BoinxTV, winner of the "Apple Design Award 2009", is a revolutionary tool for creating Live to Disk, Live to Internet, and Live to Stage video, jointly developed by Boinx Software and TheCodingMonkeys. With BoinxTV, you can create stunning studio shows, podcasts, sports events, concerts, interviews, sermons, lectures, seminars and more, using your Mac and multiple cameras. With its innovative user interface and its extendable architecture, BoinxTV makes it easy to create professional 'TV style' shows, minimizing post-production time.

User can then distribute the downloaded FlipBook through offline means (e.g. CDs) or host it online on any other web servers of his choosing. FlipCity is a web service created by E-Book Systems to help users to convert PDF documents into FlipBooks. Users just need to sign up for a free account at FlipCity, upload their PDF document and it will be converted instantaneously into a FlipBook which appears as a 3-D page-flipping virtual book on the computer. There is a 7-day free trial period for every converted PDF. If the user is satisfied with the created FlipBook, he can pay anytime within the trial period to keep the FlipBook. With the download feature, users can also download the entire FlipBook from FlipCity upon purchase. "It's truly a fast, reliable and good new service," said Peter Wabbel, a satisfied customer of FlipCity. Once the FlipBook is created, it can be easily viewed by the FlipViewer(R) Xpress viewer. This is a Flash-based viewer which can run on multiple operating system platforms including Windows and Mac. FlipViewer(R) Xpress conveys the FlipBook in a 3-D page flipping interface, where pages are displayed like those in a real book. While a reader is reading the current page, the next few pages will be streamed into his computer. Page streaming allows pages to be available for immediate reading, without having to wait for the entire book to be downloaded first. Staying true to the book paradigm, the displayed thickness of the FlipBook in FlipViewer(R) Xpress is indicative of the number of pages inside, allowing readers to "thumb" through it with the mouse. FlipCity enables users to quickly create flipping digital publications out of their PDFs and with digital publications, users can reach out to more readers via the Internet globally in addition to saving printing cost.

In this puzzle-based arcade game, the player guides an unusual pair of heroes - a little girl and a small robot - on their way through a huge spaceship. What's the worst that can happen when a spaceship's systems go haywire? Lucy knows all too well! She's been abducted accidentally by a strange vessel, whose control systems have been damaged by a cosmic ray. Considered by the ship to be nothing more than a piece of cargo, she has been taken away into space. Luckily, she's not alone - a small, clever data robot is there to help her out. Together they will embark on a mission to fix the computer and save the day. It wont be easy, though; they have a long way to travel and the corridors of the spaceship are patrolled by various cargo robots which will try to catch them and put them in storage. The little duo will need to work together, help each other out, and utilize all their cunning to outsmart the cargo robots. Little Space Duo provides two gameplay modes. Most of game consists of a side-scrolling arcade platformer, in which the player controls Lucy and Sunny. Lucy can run and perform some tasks, like operating lifts and manipulating some devices. Sunny, meanwhile, can fly and can access some hard to reach areas, but he lacks hands, and thus cannot do some of the things Lucy can. He can also help Lucy by carrying her safely down from high places. Traveling through the corridors of the ship, the little duo will encounter various patrolling robots, which will try to catch them. The different robots have varying abilities, which the player must pay attention to, in order to help the protagonists avoid capture. Most of the robots are able to catch Lucy, while Sunny has less to worry about, as there are fewer that can catch him. The player must be clever in managing the two heroes' abilities and vulnerabilities in order to help them on their quest. The second mode is a top-down arcade game in which the player controls a vehicle carrying Lucy and Sunny. The vehicle travels through the larger cargo halls of the ship, which contain many patrolling robotic vehicles. The puzzle elements in this portion of the game involve not only avoiding these robotic vehicles, but manipulating them in order to advance.

Well, now the official distributors in many models of 20 and 23 inches have begun to settle down with around 200 euros. Which is good news if you are interested in a display of these and he appeared before an unfair price, remember 599 Dollars and 799 Dollars respectively cost models 20 and 23 inches.

With these characteristics, these Macs are more than ready for Mac OS X Snow Leopard. But what about the Mac mini? It was also updated with iMacs on March 3, but is much less the rest of the range of hardware from Apple: The basic configuration has only 1 GB of RAM and a 2.0 GHz processor. Surely, the MacMini can be upgraded to 4GB of Ram and a processor cappacity of 2,26 GHz, and it has a price that make the clients instead of buy a MacMini buy an iMac.It is prepared to run MacOS Snow Leopard,obviously, but like the last time it is getting behing of the rest of Apple Computers. But,Why Apple is not Redesigning it or spending a lot of time to uptade it? One of the possible reasons is the little margin of benefits, Apple gets more money selling iMacs and laptops than selling the cheapest computer in their line. Many people think that Apple needs to make a fusion between The Mac Mini and The Apple TV because they cost almost the same price and the Apple Tv does less functions than the Mini. whatz on "SGN is celebrating with more than 13 million of installs of iphone games" http://forums.whataboutmac.com/topic.php?id=1135#post-1135 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 16:35:08 +0000 whatz 1135@http://forums.whataboutmac.com/ <img src="http://www.whataboutmac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/iphone-music.jpg" alt="iphone-music" title="iphone-music" width="425" height="288" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2785" /> Now at 13 million installs, Social Gaming Network (SGN) has just released the first-of-its-kind, adventure strategy game featuring Facebook Connect, live synchronous gameplay and the ability to locate other players in a user’s area using the iPhone’s geo-location capabilities.

MileBug is one of the veteran App Store applications first available in August 2008, and can often be found in the Top 20 of the Finance category. The free lite version is available in the Business section. From small to big business, from realtors to direct sales consultants, MileBug continues to serve those needing a mileage tax break. "I've been using it for 2 months now and it is the first thing I do when I drive anywhere. Very handy app and well worth the cost." - customer review, 5 May 2009 "As a realtor, I am always going somewhere. This program makes it extremely easy to track my miles for tax purposes." - customer review, 27 March 2009 "I am an independent Mary Kay Consultant and just got done with my taxes for 2008...2009 taxes should be a lot easier! Thank You!" - customer review, 11 March 2009 "The trip log that I liked best is MileBug from Izatt International." - The Apple Blog "Milebug saves you time and money; and is a MUST have for any business owner." - iReviewiPhoneApps The new update (version 1.4) includes the following: * Allows dates in the future * Access to MileBug blog * Send MileBug App Store link to a friend * New About Screen * New icon for Lite version * Bug fix - 24 hour setting prevented times later than 11:59 * Support for iPhone OS 3.0 MileBug helps those driving their own vehicles for business, charity, medical, or other reasons receive their reimbursement and/or tax deduction. In the U.S., IRS business rates are 55 cents/mile for 2009. MileBug for the iPhone/iPod Touch helps people track their miles and provides emailed reports for easy submission to employers, accountants, and the IRS. "MileBug is a mileage tracker for your iPhone or iPod Touch that makes it super easy to. . .track your mileage. This is great if you need to report your mileage to your boss ... the [IRS] ... or for any personal reasons." - AppStoreApps "In my job, I need a way to track mileage for work trips around town. MileBug does a great job of providing a really simple (and IRS friendly) method of tracking my trip logs. I really like how I can export the reports to email for reimbursement and reporting." - The Apple Blog Inside the Settings app is an option to select kilometers instead of miles. From within the Presets, users can define custom rates for business, charity, medical, and other categories. If you get one rate from your employer for reimbursement, and another rate from the IRS for your side business, you simply create two different business rates. Pricing and Availability: MileBug is low priced at $3.99 (USD) - at $.55/mile from the IRS, that's less than 8 miles to cover the price. <a href="http://prmac.com/external_link.php?release=6349&l=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.milebug.com" target="_blank" title="MileBug 1.4">MileBug 1.4</a> <a href="http://prmac.com/external_link.php?release=6349&l=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fphobos.apple.com%2FWebObjects%2FMZStore.woa%2Fwa%2FviewSoftware%3Fid%3D288376848%26mt%3D8" target="_blank" title="Download and Purchase">Download and Purchase</a> <a href="http://prmac.com/external_link.php?release=6349&l=3&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.izatt.com" target="_blank" title="Izatt International">Izatt International</a> Izatt International is an iPhone/iPod Touch application development company in American Fork, UT.
