Pastebot Supercharges iPhone Copy and Paste

Posted by Scott in iPhone on January 10, 2010

pastebotsync Pastebot from Tapbots is a powerful and flexible clipboard manager for the iPhone that makes copying and pasting images and text between apps straightforward. Clippings are stored in a set of folders which can be kept indefinitely and which can be searched and retrieved very easily.

Images can be edited/cropped etc using the built in editing tools then either saved in clipboard, stored in the Photo library or emailed out.

The really clever feature though has to be the Pastebot Sync app for Mac. This allows Pastebot on the iPhone to pair itself to one or more Macs running the Sync app and to wirelessly exchange text or images in either direction ! Images or text copied on the Mac are magically transported into the Pastebot clipboard where they can then be pasted straight into an iPhone app. Alternatively clippings saved on the iPhone can be sent back to the Mac and pasted straight into any app there. Really clever stuff and well worth the £1.79 just to see it in action !

Facecall for iPhone

Posted by Scott in Reviews, iPhone on January 10, 2010

Facecall for iPhone is a clever app that uses Web clips to create an icon on your iPhone home screen that when launched will quick dial a selected entry in your address book. The icon defaults to the contact image from your address book but you can replace this with a picture from your photo library or snap an image using the iPhones camera if you prefer. The images can be adjusted before saving to ensure the person is easily recognisable.

You can create as many of these dialer icons as you wish effectively creating a quick dial contacts page on your iPhone.

Not a free app but for £1.79 it is certainly not expensive.

iPhone App(s) of the day.

Posted by Scott in Apple, Reviews, iPhone on October 15, 2009

Having recently ( finally ) joined the ranks of the iPhone owning faithful I emailed a couple of friends who also have iPhones to ask what their iPhone app of the day was. Interestingly the responses I got ran into mini reviews so I have decided to reproduce them here for your reading pleasure. Thanks John and Debbie, hope this is ok with you !

John’s iPhone App of the day – Tap Tap Revenge 3

My recommendation is Tap Tap Revenge 3.

Now in its tenth release and carrying some nice new features, one of the oldest games for the iPhone has received its latest major update.

If you haven’t played it before, Tap Tap is a rhythm action game that is similar to playing something like Rock Band or even Dance Dance Revolution. It has a single player mode, two player mode and a very good multiplayer system online.

It also features downloadable content to expand the game play. Unsigned bands are available to download for free, plus there are also downloadable content for signed original artists that are priced fairly reasonably. A pack of six songs by the Killers is £1.79 or two tracks by Lynard Skynyrd are 59p for example. But be warned, you WILL get cramp after tapping Free Bird for 9 minutes!!

You can also purchase items for your avatar using in game “money” that you earn from each performance and also there are lots of achievements to obtain as you improve.

This highly addictive game is definitely improved over TTR2 and, some good sensibly priced downloadable content help make this my recommendation.
