0810 MIDI Mobilizer “With Apple’s new iOS 4 it is now possible for any developer to create MIDI-enabled applications that work with MIDI Mobilizer,” remarks Marcus Ryle, SVP of New Business Development at Line 6.  “As an open invitation to developers, we are now providing the SDK at no charge, and are not charging any license fee or royalty.”

The free SDK (Software Development Kit) can be requested from Line 6 via MMdeveloper@line6.com.

MIDI Mobilizer is a low-profile hardware device that fits into the standard 30-pin connector of an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.  It can connect these Apple products to millions of pieces of classic and modern MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) gear, such as synthesizers, digital pianos, effects processors, and virtually any device with standard MIDI 5-pin DIN connectors, including Line 6 guitar amps and POD® products.  Thanks to the free MIDI Mobilizer SDK, future applications can be developed that will allow virtually any MIDI function commonly performed by a computer to be held in the palm of your hand.

iphone4_150_jun10.jpgWhen Apple announced iOS 4.0 earlier this year, some additions to the SDK (software development kit) caught the attention of augmented reality (AR) developers – specifically, open access to the phone’s camera APIs. But with the introduction of the new hardware in the iPhone 4 made this past Monday, the possibilities for AR on the popular smartphone have skyrocketed. Today I had the opportunity to chat about the device’s impact on AR with Stefan Misslinger, lead iPhone developer for metaio, one of the leading AR companies and makers of the mobile AR browser junaio.

COURSE THE MISSING ICON WILL BE VIDEO CHAT and that’s gonna be another world-changing aspect of this little guy (at least that’s my hope!)

Tomorrow’s third-generation PC UI has already been invented. All the research is done. In fact, some elements have been independently developed by dozens of geniuses at multiple research centers, each taking a slightly different approach, but all embracing more than one of the major five elements of tomorrow’s UI. Here are those elements: 1. Multi-touch, 2. Gestures, 3. Physics, 4. 3-D, and 5. Minimization of icons.

Survey says?!

Yes. The Iphone uses a touch screen that lets you perform two-finger gesture, for instance, you pinch your thumb and forefinger to shrink a photo, or widen them to enlarge it, as pioneered by multi touch screen pioneer Jeff Han.


But does that mean it uses Jeff Han’s brand? See the article for details!

Also Mac Rumors has covered Jeff’s thoughts on the sitch!

So let’s keep hoping that our “ultimate convergence device” isn’t crippled by corporate people who tighten their ties too tight in the morning, shall we?

LeeAnn Prescott, on her Hitwise blog had this to say about the WILD INTEREST in this dainty little phone of Apple’s,

Since Steve Jobs’ announcement of the iPhone at Macworld two weeks ago, Internet users have been flocking online to find out more information. For the week ending 1/13/07, the share of searches for ‘iphone’ was greater than the weekly share of searches for ‘ipod’ at any time during 2006. The week ending 1/20/07 still showed a greater volume of searches for ‘iphone’ versus ‘ipod.’

My Macbook Pro running OS X.4.8 makes me a feel satisfied at least once a day… I think this phone is gonna top at least 2 times a day satisfaction rate.

Can ya freakin’ BELIEVE it? I mean, I knew Apple was a design MACHINE (read my “Huh?” page – I wrote that BEFORE the release – I’m so good), but THIS! Apple completely and totally (except for going exclusively with AT&T/Cingular – maybe we can get it unlocked) BLEW AWAY my expectations with more and more beautiful design work and functionality than I could have dreamed. That’s my view, at least.

Here’s David Pogue’s view… he got to HANDLE it!!! Woo hoo!

tha phone, baby!

]]> http://www.macdoesphones.com/?feed=rss2&p=13 0 It’s HERE! :D http://www.macdoesphones.com/?p=15 http://www.macdoesphones.com/?p=15#comments Tue, 09 Jan 2007 18:21:10 +0000 admin http://www.macdoesphones.com/?p=15 This is the real deal - the Mac iPhone is finally here.

“We have been very lucky to have brought a few revolutionary user interfaces to the market — the mouse, the click wheel, and now Multi-Touch. Each has made possible a revolutionary product, the Mac, the iPod, and now the iPhone. We’re going to build on top of that with software. Software on mobile phones is like baby-software. Today we’re going to show you a software breakthrough. Software that’s 5-years ahead of what’s on any other phone.”

“iPhone runs OS X!” Huge cheers. “Why would we want to run such a sophisticated OS on a mobile device? It’s got everything we need. Mulittasking, networking, power management, graphics, security, video, graphics, audio core animation…”
