Free Ambiance Classic available to pacify upset users {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Mar 4th 2009 4:30PM I was wondering where all that free space on my iPhone came from. Now I know it was from an Ambiance upgrade. I don't use the app that much, and when I do, it was only for three or four sounds, so as long as the sound downloads are free, I think this is a better solution than including all of the audio in the download.

TapeDeck discounted for National Day of Listening {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 24th 2008 7:37PM Whoa, this is great! I am the web developer at StoryCorps, the organization that launched the National Day of Listening initiative just a couple of weeks ago. We are so excited about how much interest is being generated in this project. StoryCorps happens to be an all-Mac shop and I've been reading this blog for years. TapeDeck definitely embodies the spirit of simplicity that we are going for... you can use anything to record your story: a tape recorder, a laptop computer, your iPhone (I have been testing Griffin iTalk), or even a camcorder. Thanks for mention.

Oct 23rd 2008 6:45AM Agreed - WordBook is great. Only $8, it has plenty of words, Dictionary and Thesaurus mode, and an excellent interface.

InsanelyGreat iPhone apps {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 11th 2008 4:57PM Ah, but the Google Maps feature and the MTA website won't work while you're underground. ; )
I also find the CityTransit version of the map easier to read than a Google Map.
I bought CityTransit and File Magnet and they're both great apps. File Magnet is a tad bit buggy, it's obviously a 1.0 release, but the developer was quick to reply and it sounds like they are addressing customer feedback with new features soon.
File Magnet adds a HUGE new functionality to the iPhone. I can now download audio or video files at work (I'm thinking of podcasts mostly but other things too) and just drag and drop them rather than wait to get home to sync. Also a PDF reader. It won't replace a dedicate e-book reader (I bought BookShelf too!) but the functionality already included is pretty exciting.

May 28th 2008 4:40PM So awesome, now just do this for Gcal to iCal to iPhone and I would be so darn happy.
VideoDrive: easy iTunes video importing and tagging {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
May 17th 2008 7:31PM For an AVI file to show up in AppleTV, it has to be hacked, no? Just making sure I understand the story correctly... I would *love* to play AVIs on my AppleTV, but I'm not willing to open the box.
Safari AdBlock Frees Hulu {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
May 13th 2008 3:51PM I must be getting older to feel sympathy for a giant media company like NBC, but I, too, feel like skipping the ads on Hulu is the wrong thing to do. I appreciate them making the content available, isn't watching a couple of ads worth it? Although I would *much prefer* to just pay the $2 to be able to download them on my Apple TV without ads.
I haven't quite squared this with the fact that I also have a Tivo and have no problem skipping ads there. It's a complicated world we live in, I guess.
