MacWorld 2010

With all the turmoil surrounding MacWorld and the absence of Apple, I decided last minute to attend MacWorld this year.  Just in case this would be the last one.  While I'm not really sure if the show was a success; mainly because I've never been it seemed to me to be doing just fine.  I really enjoyed the presentations by David Pogue, Kevin Smith and Leo Laporte; which were part of the Exhibition Only pass, my favorite was Leo Laporte's show mainly because he is a geek icon.  So in order to improve my geek cred I took a picture with Leo.

While the shows were very good I saw many cool products.  I'm kind of a bag and case junkie, and the guys from Trexta has some nice products.  One of my favorite products which has not been released is this bag:

 This seemed to be the only laptop bag they had on their show floor; they weren't able to tell me when they would release it or price; so I guess we have to wait.  Some of their other products where available on Amazon, here is one of them:

The iHug a pendant style carrying case for the iPhone, I see this geared more to the ladies.  Especially the ones that are always leaving their phones behind.  This case sells for $24.99 at amazon you find the Trexta iHug Here.

The Kabuk is not available yet; but this case was good in a nerdy kind of way.  You ware it on your belt the case flips forward and it exposes your iPhone.  While the phone seem to be nice and snug in this case it was simple to take out to answer a call.  

This case is perfect for the doodler in your life, allow them to express themselves on their iPhones.  The construction of all their cases looked really good.  This one had the benefit of allowing you to draw on it to really personalize your iPhone.  Unfortunately this case is not available yet; keep an eye out for it on Amazon or on their website Trexta.com

Comeback later for more products I found interesting.

Demonless

On February 5th, 2010  we released our first arcade puzzler for the iPhone platform.  A long time in the works this game is a cross between Tetris and Dr. Mario.  Our demon based title provides the gamer with the opportunity to vanquishing those pesky demons making the world demon less.  Our reviewers in the app store tell us that the game is addictive and you will find yourself playing for hours.  So if you need to be entertained for long periods of time check us out in the app store.  The main game is free, it's not restricted in any way, and you will play for hours.  An expansion pack is available as an in app purchase so if you enjoy the game and want other ways of playing or you would like to support independent developers check it out for $1.99

You can find Demonless here!

Enjoy and Let me know what you think.

Get it for free while you still can.  Demonless will soon be .99 cents for the main game.

streaming podcasts on iPhone

I'm a big fan of podcasts especially on my iPhone, the convenience of being able to check for new shows and download them with out a computer makes the world of difference.  The only annoyance with the process is you can only download up to 10MB when connected to 3g or edge.  Very few shows are under this limit, one particular  10MB is MAC OS Ken, a short style MAC news show, it rocks.  So what to do for the larger shows, like Geek Brief, TWIT or BOL?  Assuming your area has decent data coverage (luckily mine does) you can stream anything video or audio with the native iphone software (no additional software needed).  So you just finished the last podcast and you want to check for more.  You hit the get more episodes and you get a list of the episodes available for download.  For those pod casts that are free if you click on the free button, the podcast will be placed on the download queue; but if you click on the name of the podcast the quick time window for iphone will open and it will begin to stream (size does not matter).  The same process can be started straight from the the itunes software on the iphone by searching; but I have noticed that some times the episode tracks differ, not really sure why.  So if you don't see the latest episode in one try the other method too.  Nice thing about this is the app will play on the background so you can go on and read emails or what ever else you want to do.

Enjoy streaming podcast everywhere.
