Downloading iPhone Apps (US Only)

If you have an iTunes account in a country other than U.S., you may find that some applications are not available in your country. To get US Only applications that are featured on AppTreats.com and other places, be sure to register a free US iTunes Store account.

There are many websites with the instructions on how to do so, simply google for it. Here's one that I found:

Quoted In TODAY papers, My Thoughts On iPad

I met Ariel at WWDC in San Francisco last year while with the IE Singapore delegation to meet chief Apple executives in a round table. She asked for a quote she could use in today's iPad article and this is what I wrote to her in full. 

"Hi Ariel,

I have been very well, indeed! And I hope the same for you too.

It will be a pleasure to be given the opportunity to share my thoughts. In fact, the iPad has been on my mind ever since the announcement this morning. I was one of those that stayed up to hear it 'live' on http://live.twit.tv.

My immediate thoughts are that many initial responses that I have heard and read thus far have made a critical mistake in their evaluation of the iPad. To think of it in terms of what it replaces (your laptop or your iPhone, for example) will be the greatest error any developer can possibly make right now. Unless I am very much mistaken, Apple made it quite clear that they are creating something new with the iPad and to think of it in any other terms would be equal to having a falling-out with Apple themselves.

I don't mean this in the glassy-eyed, hero-worshipping manner of a fully mesmerised zombie of the Apple hype and cult. The very potholes that people accuse Apple of leaving unfilled with the iPad are the same ones that represent the greatest opportunities for developers to creatively fill.

To that end, my mind has been working non-stop and the more I think about it, the more I am elated by the possibilities represented by the iPad. I have since opened a new application proposal in my inventor's notebook and am now amassing the support and resources necessary to bring my latest application idea to fruition. So potent is this idea that whenever I share it in confidence with potential partners and investors, I am not ashamed to say that it could very possibly be the kind of app that Apple would (and should) consider installing in every iPad made.

What does this mean for me as a developer? It means that I have been given the golden opportunity to help change the world for the better, together with Apple. And I am fully convinced of my destiny in that respect.

Best regards,

Joash Chee

For My iPhone Keynote Today...

... I needed a visualiser for the demos, so I built one. :)

Just thought to share this with everyone. I won't go so far as to call it a hack, but I sure built something not found in the manual that came with the box. :)

Quick build notes:

1. Needed to make a stable 2-legged structure (instead of 3, and general lack of bricks) so that the audio cable at the top of the iPhone can run freely while switching from portrait to landscape
1a. Made a square rig then found the 'centre of gravity'? to extend the legs
2. Needed enought width so that it can do landscape as well
3. Limited by just the pieces from one box (LEGO 5867)
4. Needed the fixed height
5. Used the ancient FireWire iSight paired with Quicktime Player in movie recording mode
6. Had to make sure the iSight cable was kept properly out of the way and not prone to destabilizing the structure
7. The last time I touched LEGO was probably primary school :)

Total cost : iSight (lying around) + LEGO 5867 ($42.90) + about 1.5 hours

I'm all pumped for today for more than one reason :) Since I won't be the only person with a keynote.

CHORDiCA Touch Speaks For Itself (mobile).m4v (15544 KB)

The vision of Scoreless Music is to enable anyone to make music. With that vision in mind, and seeing how almost all iPhone music instrument apps are poorly designed for the blind to use, Scoreless Music went to the drawing board and came up with CHORDiCA Touch. CHORDiCA Touch is possibly the 1st iPhone music instrument app that has deliberate design and assistive technology that does not discriminate against the visually handicapped. Watch this video to see a short demonstration of the Vocal Coach in action.
