In the words of the immortal Hans & Franz, “We’re Going to Pump You Up!” Or at least, iFitness for the iPhone and iPod touch is going to. The personal trainer app has enjoyed a lofty position on the Top Paid charts in the iTunes store, and I wanted to find out why. I’d been disappointed before, so I hoped that iFitness might restore my faith, and get me back in the gym.

From the start, things were looking up with iFitness. The UI, while nothing special, was clean, simple, and dialed-down, which strikes me as appropriate for an application that I’ll be using at the gym in between exercises. From the home screen, you can access individual exercises, your custom workout, pre-set routines, and your log from the bottom navigation bar.

On the Exercises screen, you can browse by categories organized according to muscle group. You can also search for an exercise by individual muscle, or browse the list in its entirety alphabetically. One of the key features of iFitness is the ability to add and edit custom exercises to the already extensive list that comes with the app. Clicking on an exercise shows its details on the home screen, initially displaying just an image series showing you what to do. You can press a button at the top to display text instructions, add to your workout, or add to your log.

My Workout displays your custom workout, which you can build by adding exercises from their information screens. You can also add dividers to separate muscle groups or sets. My Workout adds a degree of customizability that makes iFitness a must-have for more advanced users. The only downside is that you can only create one workout, so the list could get unwieldy if you want to keep a variety of custom routines.

The preset routines are good starting points for novice users. Each has an extensive description to tell you just what the workout is meant to do, and a list detailing number of sets and repetitions.

iFitness has definitely found a place as my app of choice for workout management, since the ability to add custom exercises and your own routine is crucial to my fitness habits. At only $1.99, it’s a steal for beginners and more advanced users alike.

Hottest girls just like other iphone hot girls product, like sexybyte and bikini blast in which they feature some common purposes; all of these products contains some of the hottest girls in the world. This product’s main target is amount male population for whom loves to seek for hot girls and hot women. I believe it is quite worth of buying for a price less than $2.00. The reasons are, when comes to boredom, it would not be a bad idea to enjoy some hot chicks on iPhone. Beautiful girls can always relax once mind once a while.

My wife and I both love cooking (and, by extension, eating), so we’re always on the lookout for new recipes and ideas. Kraft New Services provides the iFood Assistant by Kraft to aid seasoned cooks and beginners alike with a mobile shopping list and recipe repository. The app shows some promise, but there are just too many flaws for this to be a very satisfying meal.

Kraft Work: As you might expect from a recipe app developed by Kraft, there’s a lot of Kraft-branded products on the menu in iFood Assistant. That’s not necessarily a problem, though the poor shopping list feature is.
iFood Assistant provides easy on-the-go access to tons of recipes, cooking ideas, and your own custom shopping list. And yes, the app is comprised almost entirely of Kraft-branded food ideas. That’s not a criticism—I didn’t find it a drawback, anyway—but you should expect going in that iFood Assistant has a very Kraft-centric focus.

Boasting a layout and design that’s both easy to understand and use, iFood Assistant’s navigation menu system allows you to quickly sort through the sections of the program, even if they do feel slightly cluttered. For example, under “Simple Shortcuts,” you might expect to find tips to make specific tasks easier. Instead, you will find several recipe categories with only a handful of easy, quick items.

Many of the items don’t seem to be correctly categorized for searching. There were several items that show up in the list, but aren’t included in search results under their specific category.

Further hampering the app’s potential, iFood Assistant provides no way of individually adding ingredients from the recipe view—it’s all or nothing. You might be able to find a great idea for dinner, and you probably already have half of the ingredients needed, but you aren’t able to add just what you need to the shopping list: you can only add all the ingredients from the recipe to your list.

The shopping list feature itself suffers from severe limitations. Without the ability to add any items that aren’t included in the app’s database, you’ll wind up having to carry a separate list for everything else you need from the store. Also, adding several recipes that use the same ingredients results in multiple listings of the same ingredient. Your list will show you needing 1 cup of milk, 3 tablespoons of milk, and 2 cups of milk—it’s not a very organized way of handling things.

Having your Kraft recipe box with you all the time—at least, whenever you have Internet access—can certainly be handy. But iFood Assistant just has too many drawbacks at this point to be of much use to the home cook.

If you’re not familiar with the hobby/sport/addiction that is geocaching, the concept is very simple — people go out and hide caches in the great outdoors, use a GPS receiver to find the coordinates of the hide, then post the cache on the Geocaching.com Web site. Cachers go to the Web site, search for caches that are near their present location, and then use their GPS receivers to find the approximate location of the cache. Once they’re done bushwhacking and find the cache, they sign the logbook, take and place trade items, and then log the find on the Web site.

A week after I acquired my iPhone 3G, I wrote a post talking about how to use the built-in GPS receiver and Mobile Safari to “do” geocaching. While the method works well, I was waiting and hoping for a much better way to geocache with the iPhone 3G. With the recent release of Geocaching for iPhone, it’s time to see if that better way is finally here. Read on for more details!

To give Geocaching a workout, I decided to try the app while I was on a business trip in Sacramento, California last week. I love to go geocaching in cities that I’m visiting, since it’s a great break from doing work and I usually get to know some more about the city and its history.

The application icon for the app is your first indication that this is the official Geocaching.com app, as it uses the four-color Geocaching logo. Launching the app shows you a nice trail scene as well as the standard Geocaching.com disclaimer, and you’re asked if you wish to let the app find your location (see below left). Since you’re usually going to be going out of your way to find local caches, you’ll most likely give the app the OK to get the location from your iPhone’s GPS. The next screen (below right) provides fields for searching for caches by postal code, address, or the special Geocaching.com GC code. You can also tap the “Search for Nearby Geocaches” button to find the nearest caches to your location.

A list of geocaches near your current location appears on your screen (see below left). The current version (1.1.1) of the app now gives you a filtered list that does not show any caches that you’ve already found. To do this, you need to set your Geocaching.com user name and password in the app settings page (see below right).

The list shows a surprising amount of information for each cache. The icon on the left side of the search results indicates the type of cache, most being “traditional” caches with a little plastic container icon. The difficulty and terrain are listed as a number from 1 to 5, with a 5/5 being the most difficult type of cache to find, in mountainous or dangerous terrain.

Groundspeak, the company that runs Geocaching.com, assigns each cache a unique code beginning with the letters GC. That code is important as a unique key for the cache, so it’s included in the list. Finally, the distance and direction to the cache is listed.

Tapping on a cache entry in the list opens up a detail page (see screenshot below). This page shows the latitude and longitude of the cache and the same difficulty and terrain information, along with links to a description, recent logs, and a hint. The description will tell you something about the cache or historical information about the area in which the cache is hidden. The logs will show when and how people found the cache, sometimes including spoiler information that make it obvious where the cache is hidden. Hints are sometimes riddles that make it easier to find the cache, if you can figure out the correct answer to the riddle.

Tapping the Map button takes you out of the Geocaching app and opens Google Maps. A red pin indicates where the cache is located, and the traditional blue pin and pulsating circle show your present location. I often use the Directions feature of Google Maps to find out how to drive or to a location near a cache.I find it annoying that I am taken out of the Geocaching app and have to launch it again to get back to the cache information. It would be preferable if the app used its own browser.

The Navigate button opens a compass screen with a red pointer aimed at the cache location. Your current heading, the distance to the cache, your ground speed, and the accuracy of the GPS location are all displayed on the screen. The pointer can be helpful in triangulating the position of the cache, as GPS accuracy can sometimes be off and by walking around, you can get a better idea of where the cache is actually hidden.

How does this all work in practice?

If you’re in a city or in a wooded area, you can pretty much forget about getting an accurate location. Where I was looking for the cache in Sacramento, there were both tall buildings and trees that were in the process of dropping their leaves. According to the Geocaching app, the best accuracy I was getting was about 156 feet! I decided to try again with a cache located in an area with a much less obstructed view of the GPS satellite constellation.

The second cache was near my home in Colorado. The leaves have dropped here, and the sky view is unimpeded by tall buildings. I used the navigate mode to get a red arrow pointer showing me how to get to the cache, and it did an excellent job of getting me to within about 20 feet of the cache (see screenshot below). However, the arrow was confusing me as it was whipping around the points of the compass, so I switched to the Google Maps view. Here I was able to see two pins — a flashing blue one that indicated my location, with a blue ring around it indicating the possible area I was in — and a red one for the location. With the Google Maps aerial view enabled, I could even see the trees near the cache location.

If you’re not sure if the area where you’re caching has a good view of the sky, I suggest trying a simple test — walk around the area with Google Maps pulled up. If your “blue pin” is consistently keeping up with your walk, your accuracy is probably pretty good. If it is the blue pin is a block away and just sitting in one place, or if it jumps around the map, then you’re out of luck and should either use a much more accurate GPS receiver or find another location to do your caching.

One more thing that Geocaching for iPhone can do is let you find the status of Trackable Items (see below). These are specially tagged items such as geocoins and travel bugs that are left in caches for others to grab and move to other caches.

This version of Geocaching is limited in what it can accomplish. I’d love to be able to claim my caches when I find them, instead of having to go back to my computer to log into Geocaching.com and do the deed. It would be cool to be able to use the iPhone’s camera to add photos to the cache log on the Geocaching website.

Should a hard-core geocacher give up his or her dedicated GPS receiver and move to an iPhone? No. I don’t think the accuracy of the GPS location is as good as some of the WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) enabled GPS receivers that you can buy from Garmin, Magellan, and TomTom. With most “real” GPS receivers, I find myself being able to find caches much faster. I think the iPhone is getting me in the general area, but not with enough accuracy to rmake my hunt much easier.

Between my comments about what Geocaching for iPhone needs and about the accuracy of the iPhone GPS, you might think that I’m totally dismissing the iPhone and this app as a geocaching solution. I’m not. I feel that it’s a good solution, and it can only get better as the app is updated with new features and the iPhone gets even better location accuracy in the future.

I’d love to hear what other iPhone-toting geocachers are using as their favorite geocaching tool. Is it an iPhone with Geocaching for iPhone or another app, or do you prefer to use a separate GPS receiver. Leave a comment below.

Like many people, I have a music library that’s way too large to fit on my iPhone. (Yo, Apple! Can we please get a 64GB model already?) Fortunately, I can still listen to every track I own thanks to Simplify Music 2.0 (formerly Simplify Media).
The app streams tunes from your PC by way of a music-server program that’s available for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. Download it, install it, then choose the folders you want it to scan, monitor, and queue. (Alas, the program can’t stream DRM-protected iTunes purchases, so it’s time to move everything to iTunes Plus.)
The desktop software costs nothing. The Simplify Music iPhone app has an introductory price of $2.99, but the developer plans to bump it to $5.99 in a few weeks.
Once everything’s installed and configured, just leave your system running and hit the road. When you run the app, you’ll be able to browse your entire desktop music library by album, artist, genre, or song. Tap what you want and presto: the music plays, complete with album art and even song lyrics (which is so cool, it single-handedly justifies the cost of the app).
Want even more variety? Get some buddies on board: you can stream music from friends’ music libraries in addition to your own.
Version 2.0 adds some nifty amenities, including a search function (something the iPhone itself doesn’t have–yet), an add-to-favorites option for building an on-the-fly playlist, and a “scrub bar” for easy backward/forward scanning.
As you might expect, a Wi-Fi connection produces the best sound quality, though 3G runs it a close second when you have four or five bars. Even over EDGE, Simplify Music delivered surprisingly good sound, about on par with FM radio.
Though the app was sometimes annoyingly slow to connect to my PC, for the most part it worked like a charm. And much as I’m loathe to leave my system running 24-7, I’m now hopelessly addicted to having access to all my music.
Simplify Music makes that a reality, meaning I’ll probably think twice about springing for a new iPhone just to get more memory. With the money I save, I’ll be able to buy a lot more tunes.

A collection of naughty and nice nurse pictures.

Ever been hospitalized after a skiing accident and spent Christmas in intensive care? Did you spend that week in a morphine induced bliss and fantasize over the nurses getting naked for a sponge bath? A little bit of porn, nude, and XXX healing? No? Me either.

Don’t settle for Bikini Blast and other softcore girly apps. Go for some real deviant delight. Nothing but latex, voyeurism, and exhibitionists. Indulge in your kinky fetish. This is as close to hardcore as you can get on the app store.

All original content. Nothing from Maxim, FHM, Hooters, Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, Girls Gone Wild, Sports Illustrated, or National Geographic. Just beautiful, exotic, coed, college teen hotties like the milf next door. But not in lingerie or pajamas. Just latex.

MotionX GPS Lite

Rating:
MMMMM - Matters!

Until Apple gets busy with their upcoming GPS application, we must look elsewhere. One place to look first is the people that bring you MotionX Poker and MotionX Dice. The programs are wonderful, and they decided to step out of the game/dice area and move towards GPS. Their GPS application, entitiled MotionX GPS Lite, is equally phenominal and happened to make it to the first page of my iPhone.

Game maker MotionX has just released GPS Lite, a free iPhone3G GPS app which provides a number of features normally found on a dedicated handheld GPS device. GPS Lite has five screens: The GPS status screen provides your current position and signal status. A stopwatch screen provides stopwatch features plus speed, distance, average speed, and elevation change.

The navigation screen shows a simulated compass and bearings and headings. A track screen displays your current track, but on a white background, rather than a map. A waypoints screen shows start and stop points and other user - settable waypoints.

GPS Lite takes iPhone3G GPS to a new level, but does not offer turn-by-turn navigation. This is a “Lite” version so I went searching for the paid version and did not find one, so it seems likely a paid version with even more features is on the way. However, I am not quite sure what else they could bring that’ll make it better than a five-star app. We’ll see…

This app is a great app and Apple should think about looking towards them to see exactly how a GPS app is suppose to be. Occasionally, I felt some lag, but and the other day, it crashed on me. A simple restart of the iPhone cleared that up in no time. So, go try out the application; you are bound to love it!

App now available in the App Store
Price: Free

Pros:
Track elapsed time, speed, distance traveled, and average pace.
Provides the user’s current heading and the waypoint bearing; view current speed and ETA, and visualize bearings with a virtual compass. This also is an ideal tool for geocaching enthusiasts.
view the current position, GPS signal strength, and last valid satellite fix.

Cons:
Lags sometimes
No turn-by-turn directions…yet
Sometimes not as accurate, but probably due to low signal.

Birthday apple app

This application allow you to send any type of birthday gifts to your friends and family members.

You will be able to customize your own unique looking gift cards and other fabulous looking birthday thanks. This might as an virtual gift, but it can use to give, that person you want to wish a happy birthday, he/she a good impression on who you are. Virtual can be use to express many positive side of you. Just keep one thing in mind, no matter how good and how nice the gift you created, it can not be use to replace the real physical gift; buy he/her a real gift as well.

Don’t let the simplicity of this app fool you, it is quite capable. Grocery IQ includes over 130,000 items in its’ database and you can add items to it as well to create a truly customized shopping list. Creating a shopping list is easy, all you have to do is start typing the name of the item and the app will instantly start searching for it. For example, if you type in “apple,” apples comes up quickly with a selection of 25 varieties to choose from—we didn’t even know that many types of apples existed!

This app can help you create a list with little chance for error, so if you send someone else to the store to purchase items that you need, you won’t get 20 cell phone calls from your volunteer shopper repeatedly asking you what it was you wanted exactly. It would help even more if you could add a picture.

Although we really liked this program it does have a few limitations; it can’t save lists, it doesn’t estimate price or allow you to enter a price and it would be nice if it would date purchased items.

For simple, one-time list creation or light shoppers, this program is excellent. It’s easy to find items and add special items. However, if you like to track costs and maintain multiple shopping lists, this app will just not do it for you. However, for 99 cents, we feel this is a good value and it delivers the features advertised by the developers.

Over 5,800 Drink & Cocktail recipes at the tap of your fingertips. Now you know what bartenders are putting into your expensive drinks. Drink & Cocktail Recipes databases typically cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. We’re giving it away to you for a low fee. Probably for less than your usual bartender’s tip.

Features:
* Add favorite drink recipes to your favorites list
* Browse through all of the drinks easily through an indexed list
* Use the search bar to easily find a specific recipe
* Search for drinks by ingredients!
* Jump to a drink category and find related drinks
* Or take a little risk and find yourself a random drink.

=============
Note from Developer: If you can’t afford to pay 2 bucks for the app, not to worry! A free version is available on the appstore as well and has ALL of the features of the pro version. The only difference is that it does contain banner advertisements.
We hope it’s a reasonable charge at $1.99. Think of it as a 2-bucks “tip.” Enjoy folks!
