In November, I wrote a post on Appcake (an alternative to appulo.us and installous) which became wildly popular. Tons of readers loved the fact that they could enjoy cracked apps without having to rely on appulo.
I made it loud and clear to everyone that Appcake was the one stop destination to try out different apps before making a purchase off the AppStore.
However, now I request all you folks to head over to http://apptrackr.org (Copy and paste the url in your browser). Trust me you won’t be disappointed.
The Hackulous community is back in the form of Apptrackr and boy whoa boy their latest creation is fast! This is what hackulo.us reported about the Apptrackr:
In theory, the website should be faster than Appulous (considering we’re on three times the hardware that Appulous is) and the website’s caching functionality is advanced (it uses ideas from Kyek’s RECache algorithm). The website is much better looking, running a theme that we’ve refined for the best presentation and user experience. We also support most iTunes stores, instead of just the US store, for app submission.
Yeah you heard me right! Pzizz sleep app really helps get rid of the insomniac in you. Pzizz works on the principle of guided sleep soundtracks and relaxation techniques.
An important thing to note though is that instead of playing the same set of tracks repeatedly, it creates a brand new soothing soundtrack everytime you hit the play button.
On hearing about the app; I initially felt that it was made by some newbie developer trying to make quick bucks by taking the insomniacs on a ride. However, with some quick study I found that the app on many occasions had topped the AppStore under medical category in several countries!
After an app for Palm Pre Styled multi-tasking, a Palm Pre themed browser was always on the cards. Kudos to Omar Mashhour for coming up with a full screen, tabbed browser for the iPhone which is designed to feel as if one were browsing on the Pre. The browser has been named as ZapBrowser.
It’s minimalistic design comes with a tiny menu button in the top left corner of the screen which provides the following functions.
Qik has officially released VideoCamera app which allows iPhone 2G and 3G users to capture video locally. If you would like to know what Qik is all about, I suggest you watch the following video.
Here are some of the Features of the Qik iPhone 2G/3G app:
High frame rate (7FPS) and resolution (352×288) along with smart video compression technology.
Videos can be exported to Camera Roll on your phone, and then downloaded via iPhoto on your Mac.
Imagine ordering an iPhone 3G and ending up with an iPhone 3GS instead. That’s what an user from apfeltalk forum must have thought on seeing the packaging on his brand new iPhone. It read iPhone 3GS 8GB instead of iPhone 3G 8GB!
Now the big question is whether it’s just a labelling error or are we in for an iPhone 3GS 8GB at the 26th January Conference?
Is Apple thinking of phasing out iPhone 3G model altogether and trying to lure the price sensitive consumers with their $99 3GS iPhone. Well with danger lurking in the form of Droid and Nexus One, just about anything is possible.
So let’s hope iPhone 3GS 8GB turns out to be true!
