(without flash)

(with flash)

“FastMac has an external battery pack with a built in flash, but it looks kind of bulky. I really wanted the Mophie Juice Pack Air to come with a flash, but for some reason they didn’t put one in…so I decided to do it myself.”

The details of how to perform this mod was published on Ryan’s blog, if you are also a DIY fans, please check it:

The game’s sole “loading” screen—with the Let’s Golf logo and a small animation—appears constantly, in between each hole. I assume there are memory issues at play here that make this necessary, but it’s one of the only real notable downsides in an otherwise entertaining game.

The imagery in the game is superb. The trees, grass, and blue sky aren’t photorealistic, but they come impressively close. Attention to detail is excellent: You’ll spot airplanes, hang-gliders, and parachutes soaring in the sky, and you’ll see leaves drifting down from the trees.

Let’s Golf offers two separate control mechanisms. The first is the familiar golfing video game interface you may have seen before, where you tap once for strength, and a second time for accuracy, aiming to time your taps with an animated gauge. The second mechanism embraces the iPhone’s multitouch screen a bit more, and it’s awfully tricky to describe in words. Basically, you slide your finger in a golf swing-like circle, and how far back you slide your finger determines the strength of your swing. Although the latter mode is called “advanced,” I find that it’s actually easier than the traditional controls, because it’s possible to abandon your shot halfway through if you mess up when setting your power level. Either way, each control scheme is fun, and I switch between the two methods at whim.

The game features a variety of play modes and difficulty levels. You can play a quick round of three random holes (from random courses), compete in a tournament against computer-controlled opponents on 9 or 18 holes from one course, or just “free play” on the course of your choosing. Winning tournaments unlocks additional courses, outfits, and gear for the golfing characters. Those characters, by the way, are pretty funny. They each have unique traits—some are more accurate, some can swing more powerfully. And when they bogey, or heaven-forbid, double-bogey, their emotional disgust-laden body language is a hoot.

Multiplayer options in Let’s Golf are strong: You can take turns by passing your iPhone or iPod touch to a friend, or you can connect via Wi-Fi.

Each of Let’s Golf’s four courses is beautifully rendered in 3-D, and the graphics never seem to stutter or slow down. The in-game (virtual) camera work is excellent; whether following the ball into the sky as your shot arcs, or zooming in and out appropriately as you putt, it’s implemented as well as the best golfing sims.

I’m impressed by Let’s Golf. The game sports everything I look for in a golfing game, looks great, and plays well—it’s a winner.

According to Miller, the attack “exploits a weakness in the way iPhones handle text messages received via SMS (Short Message Service),” use these SMS to run malicious software code which “could include commands to monitor the location of the phone using GPS, turn on the phone’s microphone to eavesdrop on conversations, or make the phone join a distributed denial of service attack or a botnet.”

Miller says he’s passing the evidence onto Apple for it to mend up the problem before it becomes something more serious, hope this hole could be mended ASAP.

May be a firewall and antivirus software also needed on iPhone.

The most salient feature of these two new docks is their Wi-Fi streaming which means devices with this industry certification can talk to each other and allow easy data transfer wirelessly. The networked Sony unit includes  a CD player (both audio CD and CD-R/RW discs with MP3 tracks accept), AM/FM radio plus USB inputs.

Both the CMT-Z100iR and NAS-Z200iR has two 20-watt independent speaker to provide high fidelity stereo sound, they can be wall mounted with a VESA wall bracket, which is a standard mount used also for TVs.

The differences bewteen these two docks are the CMT-Z100iR includes iPod / CD / USB playback, a large display that shows the time and selected function, and glossy black/white two colors in appearence can be choosed.

Unfortunately when they will appear in the U.S. is not mentioned.

Acorrding to this, there are only 19% of applicationgs in App Store have more than 10,000 users, and 54% of applications have less than 1,000 users.

The statistics were reported in AdMob’s May 2009 Mobile Metrics Report, if you want the full report please check here.

I was shock when I read it, it means more than half of the apps are inactive, and most people do not buy apps from App Store, what’s wrong about it? May be it’s time for Apple to think about it’s mode of commercial operation on apps, it’s high cost on iPhone SDK using and low pay back perhaps will force designers go away, and the lack of efficiency of App Store also caused users can not find what they really want. These two factors are negative to sales, and might drive people change their way to JailBreak.

This is an alarming.

On Friday that only 29 of Apple’s 257 stores were displaying shortages of any iPhones (data based on IFOAppleStore ) , but there were red “sold out” lights for selected 3GS models in all but six states when Sunday morning.

In Louisville, the only store of Kentucky was completely sold out all models. In Texas, the 16GB model was sold out in all but three of the state’s 15 Apple Stores.

And the entry-level white iPhone 3GS seems to be the best selling model, it’s hard to know whether demand for that model is unusually high or if Apple just isn’t making enough of them.

Air Mouse works over a local Wi-Fi network to control you computer’s mouse and keyboard. Before using the app, you do need to install a small application on your computer. There’s a version for both Mac OS X and Windows users which manages the connection and controls many of the mouse and keyboard settings.
If you are prompted by your firewall or any antivirus software to block this program, please make sure you select to allow the connection.

Features:

• Accelerometer based air mouse
• Trackpad (full screen vertical and landscape modes)
• Media keys & Web keys
• Application notifications – Remote keyboard with function and arrow keys
• Programable hotkeys (can be set to run a program or keyboard combination)
• Scroll pad
• Multitouch gestures (scroll & right click)
• Modifier Keys
• On screen typing
• Password protection
• Custom sensitivity settings
• Foreign language keyboards
• Supports Bonjour or static IP
• No screen size limitation. Works with multiple monitors.

The first option for controlling the Air Mouse is to use the accelerometer. The buttons are as follows:

1. Settings: Click to access the preferences
2. Swap View: Click to switch to the touch pad control
3. Trigger: Holding this button activates the mouse movements. Keep it held down as long as you want to move the mouse. You can pull your thumb off it, move the mouse back, then press it again to gain more movement space. You can also tap the trigger quickly to activate a mouse click.
4. Scroll Pad: Run your thumb up and down over this part to activate scrolling.
5. Left Mouse Button: This will activate a left mouse button click. Additionally, if you hold this button down, it will also activate the trigger. This is useful if you want to click and drag something or highlight some text.
6. Right Mouse Button. This will activate a right mouse button click. Additionally, if you hold this button down, it will also activate the trigger.

The second option for controlling your mouse movement is to use this touch pad. This works the same as the touch pad on your laptop. It can be used in vertical mode with the keyboard showing or hidden, or in landscape mode by rotating your iPhone. The buttons are as follows:

1. Settings: Click to access the preferences
2. Swap View: Click to switch to the accelerometer based control
3. Touch Pad: Move your thumb anywhere over this surface to control your mouse movement. As long as your movement originates in this space, you can utilize the entire space, even where there are other buttons. Tapping quickly on the pad will activate a mouse click.
4. Scroll Pad: Run your thumb up and down over this part to activate scrolling.
5. Left Mouse Button: This will activate a left mouse button click. Additionally, if you hold this button down and move your finger onto the touch pad, you can move the mouse with the mouse down.
6. Right Mouse Button. This will activate a right mouse button click.

The trackpad also responds to some multitouch gestures just like your MacBook. To scroll, just use two fingers on the trackpad to scroll in any direction. To perform a right click, single tap with two fingers on the touch pad.

Keyboard

The keyboard can be used to type on your computer. As you type on your iPhone, the letters will be typed in real time on your computer as well as on the screen of the Air Mouse. You can type a Tab key by double tapping the Return key. Directly above the keyboard are 3 modifier keys. These are the same that you would find on your desktop keyboard. Ctrl, Win, Alt on the PC and Ctrl, Option, Command on the Mac. The modifier keys will change to the appropriate keys when you connect to your computer. These can be used to perform keyboard shortcuts, such as creating a new document by hitting Command-N. These keys also work for mouse click, so if you wanted to open a new tab in a web browser you could press the necessary modifier key and click on a link. Modifier clicks don’t work in every program though, so your results may vary. To the right of the 3 modifier keys is a minimize button. This will hide the main keys and show the function, media and web keys. If you want to hide the keyboard completely in order to have the entire screen as a trackpad, just shake the phone in a downward motion and it will slide away. To bring it back, just shake your phone in an upward direction.

Motion Guide

1. To move the mouse up and down on the screen, simply tilt the iPhone up and down in the air.
2. To move the mouse left to right, the first method is to use a long arcing motion.
3. To make quicker movements from left to right, hold your hand still and twist your wrist.

macnewsworld.com:
“If you ever hook your computer up to the living room big screen to watch video or surf the Web, Air Mouse is worth the price. Setup is a breeze, and you get variety of control and customization options.”

Pocket Picks:
“There aren’t many applications that achieve a balance between practicality and the hallowed wow factor so often ascribed to the iPhone’s various features.”

arstechnica.com:
“That’s when I began to notice a slew of applications arriving on the App Store promising to turn the iPhone and iPod touch into a wireless mouse of sorts. There were quite a few to chose from, but eventually I chose to take a look at RPA Technology’s Air Mouse. I’m glad I did. ”

www.joetech.com:
“This is probably the best money I’ve spent in the iPhone Apps store.”
