Ah yeah, you're right. Three years isn't that long, ultimately, but so much happens in apps so fast that it's easy to forget. I just checked their blog, it looks like there might be a new iOS client coming? Or something else entirely, hard to say. Delicious Monster posted:We're also super excited to announce that we are planning on releasing TWO new products this calendar year, one of which will be a smaller iOS app. As if that weren't enough for you, we also have a very major app coming in 2013 for OSX and iOS. While we can't give specifics and don't have anything else we can share publicly yet, rest assured that big things are coming from us!

So for work I often have to do txt blasts to multiple student phones, and the Gmail chat functions like SMS messages and will do this. But I am not seeing how to do this on the ipad Gmail (and some google fu seems to confirm this doesn't exist). So anyone know of an app that I can send SMS to actual phones? It needs to work with any phone that does SMS, not something that is basically iPad to iPhone only.

Dos anyone use the Twitch app? Is it fairly common for feeds that work in Safari to just show a black screen in the app itself?

Whatsapp will work if all your students have smartphones. On an unrelated note, does anyone know of any good UFC/general MMA apps that give things like fight schedules (main card and prelim card dates and times) and fight cards? Doesn't have to be fancy, just want quick access to that info.

So is there anything like AppShopper buy for iTunes Movies/TV Shows? I jumped ship to the iOS ecosystem but aside from a deal here and there keeping track of when movies go on sale is a pain in the rear end.

The Twitch app is pretty much horrible, if its not showing a black screen on the iPad it's locked to iphonehigh or iphonelow resolution which always looks horrible, it's a shame. So I've taken to using Splashtop to stream the video from my PC.

Does anyone know of a really nice iOS app for keeping track of receipts? I'm getting married I'm July and wanted something that will keep a tally for each vendor I'm in contact with as well as a snapshot of the receipt. I've tried out receiptsHD but it just feels... Unfinished. Thanks

I'm pulling the plug." The guy spent months perfecting Delicious Library for the iPhone and just scrapped it without so much as an email to Amazon. I know for a fact that several other apps that used the Amazon API during that time were temporarily pulled only to come back a month or two later once they'd worked out an access agreement with Amazon. Shipley is a very eccentric guy.

The BBC recently wrote an article about how the video support in iOS is really easy to support and thus they spend a fraction of the time supporting iOS as they do Android. This was in response to all the whiners in their comments every time they post something iOS related about how they're 'biased' towards Apple and why aren't they supporting 70% of the market and blah blah blah. It could be the way Twitch has implemented their app, but I've personally never really had a problem with iOS video.

Android devices can get the same mpeg-4 stream that people on laptops/desktops get. For iOS, Apple requires that it be encoded in mpeg-2. It is an additional step and cost to support iOS. I know Own3d used to only stream their top couple of streamers in mpeg-4 and mpeg-2. I don't know if that has changed or not. But yeah, the Twitch app itself is a pile of crap. I have avoided most of the problems by closing it completely between uses. When some streams are locked into iPhone high/low, I switch to Splashtop.

I'm looking for an iPad app that will allow an image, no matter the original size, to be printed out as 8 x 10. A friend has some students who are working on art projects and they need to print out their images as a full sheet of paper. All of the apps I've tried have allowed you to resize the images down, but I can't seem to find any that will upsize the image to a 8x10 piece of paper. They were able to do that using the HP ePrint app, when you went to print it would allow you to select the size you wished to print, but that app has been really flakey on their network and cannot always see the printers. I guess the image pixel size doesn't matter, it just needs the option to be stretched to fill a sheet of paper when printing. Any ideas? I've tried Snapseed, PhotoForge2, Photogene and a few others but they have all come up short.

This is at best very misleading. Apple requires live streaming video be delivered within an MPEG-2 transport stream, which is merely a packaging format. The transport stream is capable of delivering H.264 (MPEG-4) video, and in fact that's the only video format that is supported on iOS devices. It does not require the video be encoded into MPEG-2 at all, and in fact wouldn't work if it was.

It does not require the video be encoded into MPEG-2 at all, and in fact wouldn't work if it was. Buddy of mine does this kind of stuff professionally. I asked him for some clarification since I am pretty murky on some of this stuff. He said that newer Android devices are more of a pain since Adobe removed Flash Player from Google Play back in August. He said prior to August, it was much easier and cheaper for him to stream to Android since there was no transcoding involved in the process. iOS streaming has always required him to do additional transcoding on the backend, which adds a cost.

No offense to your buddy but if he was relying on the google play flash player to service android devices he was offering the majority of them a pretty lovely experience. Anyway, I'll end the derail here by linking the BBC article I was talking about originally: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20754182

Yeah iOS doesn't even support MPEG-2 playback so either you or your friend are really misinformed in some way here. It's kind of sounding like he was using whatever video format (other than MPEG-4) and delivering in Flash, and now he has to transcode that stuff to MP4 to work. That's still kind of a bad excuse since Flash has supported MP4 for a while now and should be the primary stream source since it can be delivered to pretty much everything these days. If he started out before Flash could play MP4 then I could see an issue since he has to change up his workflow and has the backlog to get through I guess. Additionally since we're talking about streaming, he may have been referring to having to have a bunch of bitrate streams available. I forget how it works exactly, but I think the transport stream links to the multiple bitrate streams, and through whatever server-client magic it automatically negotiates switching streams on the fly based on bandwidth. I'm not sure that's necessarily required though (ie just provide a single stream), and I imagine serving variable quality through Flash isn't that different as far as source and transcoding, but again it'd still be a change in workflow or software. (...not that I have experience in the field, I just read through the iOS dev streaming docs and followed streaming news a while back for some reason)

I have gleaned some information from my friend over the years, but am probably using the terms incorrectly or mixing something up. He has been pretty involved with live/archived streaming for quite a while. He was in a terminal trying to catch a flight so I didn't get to have a long discussion with him about it. I just know there is an added cost on his end to stream to iOS devices for some technical reason that doesn't exist when streaming to Android devices. I get the point of that BBC article, but it isn't talking about streaming difficulties between Android/iOS as much as it is talking about maintaining their Android/iOS app when Android is so fragmented and convoluted. Also, thank you to whoever recommended Episodes. It is awesome.

I just downloaded the dropbox app and activated the automatic camera upload feature. It worked, but when I went to look in the folder it also somehow uploaded a bunch of photos from (i think?) my dad's iPhone. We don't share a dropbox account. Why did this happen? Have all my photos been uploaded to his? If I delete his photos, will it remove them from his dropbox/iPhone? This is a really weird and annoying bug.

I downloaded 1 Second Everyday and it hung for AGES "loading my photos" or whatever. Eventually I killed the app (it'd been 15 minutes and I do NOT have much photo roll content, let alone videos.) Anyhoo, in restarting the app it claims I have no video content on ANY day (and I do). Any way to make it rescan my photo roll? Edit (deleted app and am re-installing. Hoping that helps...)
