Many applications have attempted to take advantage of the iPhones music making capabilities, but none so much as FourTrack by Sonoma Wire Works. FourTrack is essentially a four track mixer for your iPhone with a built in recorder that utilizes the microphone on the iPhone. For those technophobes who might not be familiar with what a four track mixer is, it’s basically a device that is used to record musical instruments or vocals on four separate tracks. This means that 4 tracks of audio can be playing at the same time in a mix. Each track has an “arm” which is used…

 Well it looks like Rip Dev has decided to steal BigBoss and Ipodtouchmaster’s idea and try to make it their own.  They have released a newer, uglier, not so smooth application that does much less than SBSettings ever started out doing.

The app is titled Hood, and is accessed by swiping your finger across the status bar and down pops a window that allows you to toggle Airport, Bluetooth, kill active application, and monitor memory usage in real time.  Now I do say that being able to monitor the memory usage would be something I would like to see in SBSettings I can definitely…

As the world economy continues to wane, family budgets are becoming ever tighter as the holidays draw near. The trend continues this year as it did last year, electronic sales are becoming the gifts of choice among young consumers, particularly gaming consoles such as the Sony Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and especially the Nintendo Wii. This year however, the expensive consoles will be selling less, despite the lowered prices that every product transitions to throughout its life cycle.

On the App Store, lies an Application called iFun, developed by Social Gaming Network. SGN has developed many games currently available on the App Store,…

 Recently, SnapTell Inc, released an iPhone app that allows you to look up an item just by taking a picture of it. SnapTell, itself, is a sophisticated reader that scans any given picture of a product and finds a match in its online database. It then adds this item to your “library” and gives you options to research it via Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Google, Wikipedia, etc. This bears striking resemblance to the PocketPedia application that was developed by the same people who introduced us to the barcode application for Macs. The application runs nicely and picks up various different types of…

Scratch-It, from Chugaroo Entertainment Inc., is the newest addition to the App Store that allows you to scratch your iPhone to slowly uncover a hidden image until you are brave enough to guess what it is!

This app’s characteristics definitely fill a nitch all its own. In Scratch-It you are given 1 of 130 available images that you have to uncover and solve to move onto the next level. However there is a catch, the more of the hiding surface you scratch away then the less points you receive for that image. The graphics in this game are very entertaining and…

Wikipedia is a wealth of information and everyone uses it as their own personal Britannica in which to gain information about anything and everything. Here we evaluate Veveo Inc.’s WikiTap and Steam Heavy Industries Encyclopedia to find which is the easiest and quickest way to access Wikipedia’s vast knowledge!

WikiTap is an easy to use, not to mention free, Wikipedia search engine that produces not only the text output of an object but also any media related to it. It displays the images and links natively as if you were looking at the page itself and lists videos at the bottom that are related…

Google has been pushing the envelope and creating new ideas and ways to push already existing ideas for years and right now is no different. Google has created an app for the iPhone that will allow you to search without even touching the keyboard.

The free application, which is scheduled to release today via the App Store, will allow users to ask very simple questions and get a more than satisfactory answer. You can ask things like “where is the closest McDonald’s”, or “what is the square root of 1,000″ and the app will upload the recorded speech to Google servers…

It seems in an effort to keep Installer’s head above water Rip Dev has released a new update and stated that, “we’re bringing it back to speed by providing rapid updates to get it in shape as soon as possible.” Even though Installer seems to be dead and gone due to its complete lack of support and developers it is still striving to be what it once was.

According to Rip Dev’s site these are the new changes/updates:

• Added user-driven ratings. We encourage you to submit your votes for various packages. Once more data will be collected (in a few days), that will…

Sonic Vox is the new $.99 voice changing app from Smule. This app is another variation on utilizing the iPhone as a voice changing machine.

This is one of the first voice changing apps that I have really tried and I was quite happy with the results. As most are probably wondering, no.. it does not work while you are in a call. No call recording, or voice changing app currently works inside a phone call do to violations in the SDK. Although it can be a lot of fun when you aren’t on a phone call.

To quote Smule’s website:

“With Sonic Vox…
