Mr. Mobile – #72 – Getting a camera on your iPad and using your iPad as a second monitor

Two cool apps that extend the functionality of your iPad. One adds the missing camera feature (sort of) and the other turns your iPad into a second monitor (sort of).
Both of these apps can be a little buggy, but it’s pretty cutting edge stuff and definitely worth a look, if only as a proof of concept.

Mr. Mobile – #70 – An iPhone app for insomniacs – Sleep Cycle alarm clock

If you’ve ever woken up to a blaring alarm only to feel like you just went to bed five minutes ago, you’re not alone. The problem, if Sleep Cycle alarm clock is to be believed, is that you’re getting woken up at the wrong time in your sleep cycle, when you’re in a deep, restful slumber. Sleep Cycle alarm clock uses your iPhone accelerometer to judge when you’re ready to be woken up and as a result, you’ll feel better rested. Jay Goldman explains.

Mr. Mobile – #69 – Play music from your iPhone or iPod right on your car stereo

You’ve got a brand spanking new iPhone, iPod or iPod Touch. You’ve got a less than brand spanking new car though. While many newer cars are offering USB ports or at least an AUX in jack to crank your MP3 player’s tunes through your car speakers, it’s a fairly recent phenomena. Chances are, you’ll need a work-around to get the music from your iPod running through you car stereo. Jay Goldman abides with two simple and elegant solutions from Belkin.

Mr. Mobile – #67 – A look at the software side of the iPad

Jay Goldman takes a look at the iPad’s software side. As we heard previously, he’s already impressed with the hardware. Time to see if the software measures up. He’s impressed with the on-screen keyboard and a lot of the apps he’s tried but not so impressed with the fact that there’s no multitasking on the iPad. For that, we’ll have to wait unti the release of iPhone OS 4.0, coming to the iPad in the fall.
