9:33 pm	Get Arty Fart on your iPhone I like the iPhone, with the exception of the mediocre iPhone battery, everything else is just fantastic! Since getting the iPhone, I didn’t need to lug around a mp3 player any more, and nor did I need to lug around a notepad, I never thought I’d see the day when there would be a suitable replacement to stick it notes and apple seems to have covered that with it’s numerous note apps. However I really miss being able to doodle on my notepad, but guess what? The iPhone has covered that! iDoodle2 to reign down on your iPhone battery iDoodle2 is surely going to get my doodling 24/7 which will ruin things for my iPhone battery pack. It’s a very sophisiticated app, with the ususal feature of painbrush, pencil, line, eraser amogst other features. I found this app to be feature packed because it offers so many for an app that costs a mere 79p! I like the ability to import images although the ability to rotate and crop images would have been much more appreciated. I tried my hand on drawing a stick man illustration next to a house and tree and surprisingly I found to be be a doddle to do. This is largely thanks the the iPhone’s touch capability which is pretty accurate, although the iPhone battery leaves much to be desired. Photosharing Not exactly a way to produce images, but what’s the point of producing images if you can’t share them with your friends. There are plenty of apps out there for you to send them to your web store. You can use twitpic’s free app to send these pictures to your twitter page directly sharing it with other users, on the other hand if you prefer to upload them to as higher res site consider getting the photobucket app or the flickr sender app which is free as well. We like the flickr app because it’s so easy to use as well as te fact that flickr is an excellent site to share images on. Outcolor This is an extremely cheap app for what it does, and it’s pretty sophisticated as well, price at £1.50 it’s well within everyone’s price bracket. The features that I like the most is the image masking ability to transpose sections of one image onto another. This is a pretty difficult feat to do in photoshop, however outcolor makes this ability quite easy to do, although you are quite limited to your fingers sizes, chances are if you have fat fingers and mistype letters in the iPhone keypad then this app isn’t for you. Sorry. Get Printing An article or digital art would not be complete without a how –to on printing your art for safekeeping and showing friends and family. Like the iPad Tablet PC, the iPhone does not have a native printing facility, thankful someone’s found a workaround and that someone is iPrintApp, this app will connect to your wifi network and allow you to print from any location. Now you have no excuse to show the whole world what you’ve come up with! OK, hopefully we’ve given you enough tips to get arty farty, don’t forget though that if there is a problem with iPhone battery, consider getting yourself an iPhone battery pack. Current Mood: awake

5:01 pm	The slate tablet PC future of computing? The tablet PC next evolution of home computing? In the latest iPhone deliberation the Apple boss was queried what the progression of home computing was, and the Apple boss responded that he hopes that the evolution of home computing will be rooted around touch tablet PCs. His explanation was that everyone is at the moment operating touch screen PCs such as GPS, touchscreen phones, touchscreen terminals and additional devices. The emerging trend presently is that PCs are being implemented for verifying sites as opposed it data entry. Critics on the other hand make the claim that calling the fall of the keyboard is a bit like calling for the demise of the lorry in the courior industry, whilst the tablet pc end the marriage with character entry, tablet PCs are yet impossible devices to enter vast volumes of information. And the detecton of voice is at the moment more or less in its birth. If the fall of the key input devices is likely or not, unfortunately Apple corp has a lot betting on it taking place in future, as their pair of most recent releases have done away with the typing board completely. Although what appears transparent is that an increasing quantity of machines are employed for browsing for home use. Web 2.0 Networking sites have cut down the quanitity of information being distributed everywhere per private message, and most net surfers seldom require to enter large volumes of text. What everyone does know though is that tablet PCs have been deployed in the commercial sector ages ago, before Apple corp leared about tablet pcs, Commercial touch pc devices have been in implementation since 5 years ago, Tablet PC systems make sense because keyboards are actually much more prone to damage more than tablet pc systems with touchscreens and liable to breakage and electrical short circuit whilst rugged slate tablet PCs can be easily secured from scrapes and damage from overuse. Another thing that Apple Corp has got right is the tablet PC technology down to perfection, early tablet pc systems and also some more recent tablet pc systems are still restricted to a stylus, the Apple iPad and iPhone are remarkably hugely more accurate when administered with fingers. Obviously the Apple company have overcome a major hurdle as the tablet pc pen dependency was without doubt the most compelling variable restraining slate tablet pcs in the past from becoming mainstream. More enhancements that are expected are clever mechanisms for enabling key input onto a touchscreen pc without resorting to carrying around a huge key input device. Maybe by way of a thin plastic semiconductor that has a full qwerty keyboard or a infra red ghost keyboard that lights on on a table that operates by detecting your finger movements. So will the slate tablet pc ignite the decline of the desktop pc? Nobody knows for sure, I'm assuming time is always best fortune teller. Whatever materialises I will always be the trendsetter to jump onto the most recent technology and happy to witness what trend thetablet computer industry goes. (Comment on this)
