Hulu preview invite


30 Jun

Hulu has announced its pay service “Hulu+” . The service will allow you to use Hulu on an iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. The Hulu.com website states that the app will work on WiFi and 3G.

Unlike the normal Hulu on a computer you can Watch every episode aired from the current season of top shows from ABC, NBC and FOX. Never miss an episode throughout the season.

Stream thousands of episodes from hundreds of current and classic TV shows to your iPad, iPhone 3GS iPhone 4, 3rd generation iPod Touch, computer, TV, and other devices with a Hulu Plus subscription.

• Watch every current season episode of top TV shows from ABC, Fox, and NBC like Family Guy, Modern Family, Glee, 30 Rock, Saturday Night Live, The Office, The Simpsons, Grey’s Anatomy, and more.
• Enjoy full series runs or back seasons of classic shows like The X-Files, Arrested Development, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Desperate Housewives, Roswell, Miami Vice, Angel, Saturday Night Live, Law and Order: SVU, Ally McBeal, Xena, Quantum Leap, My So-Called Life, and more. Thousands of episodes from hundreds of titles.
• Enjoy up to 720p HD resolution with multi bitrate support for an optimized viewing experience for your screen resolution and network connection speed.
• Search and browse for shows and videos directly from your iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
• Resume play from where you left off on other Hulu Plus devices including your computer and select mobile phones, internet-connected TVs, and Blu-ray players.
• Manage your queue directly from your iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
• Watch over WiFi and 3G (on your iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and 3G iPads).

I personally think the service should be free but they charge $10 per month for the Hulu plus service.

The app seems to be buggy. It crashed a lot while I was trying to access it.

The Hulu+ app is a great idea but it needs to be refined and it needs to be a free service and a  paid app.

iPhone 4 has a serious defect


26 Jun


The new iPhone 4 loses reception if you hold it by the antenna band.


If you hold it like the picture above you will notice a huge change in reception bars on the new iPhone.

The solution is to place a rubber bumper around the new iPhone to prevent closing the antenna circuit.

Top 10 apps for iPad


04 Jun

Here are my top 10 favorite apps for the Apple iPad.

1) Air Video
This app allows you to play the videos from your computer directly on your iPad. You don’t even have to convert them to a format that the iPad will normally play. This app will play avi, mpg, mkv, and mp4 video files on your iPad without taking up storage space on your iPad.


2) Perfect Browser
The perfect browser is a web browser for the iPad. This app allows you to have tabs on the top of the browser to let you toggle between web pages.


3) Mobile Mouse
Use Mobile Mouse as a wireless remote for your PC entertainment system. It has native controls for Windows Media Player, Hulu, and much much more.

4) Ambiance
Sometimes you just got too much on your mind and you can’t sleep. Ambiance plays different sounds like wind chimes, wind, rain, etc. These sounds will prevent you from thinking and makes you sleep. Set the app to automatically start and set the timer and 1 button will put you fast ton sleep.

5) Office2 HD
Open, edit, and email word, excel, and PowerPoint files on the iPad with the office2 HD app.

6) ColorSplash
Edit your favorite pictures directly on your iPad with ColorSplash. Change colors, make black and white pictures have a touch of color or just give your pics that professional touch.

7) ABC
Catch your favorite ABC episodes of Dancing With The Stars, Flash Forward, Cougar Town and more on the ABC app for the iPad.

8) Teleport
Control your home MAC or PC from the road with Teleport on your iPad. Some software can’t be installed on your iPad but you can still access the programs from anywhere with Teleport.

9) Analytics HD
For all of you that have your own websites you can monitor the traffic, keywords, page views and much more with Analytics HD for the iPad. Just input your Googke analytics account info and monitor it with this easy to use app.

10) Text+
This is a no brainer. Text+ is a free app that let’s you text from your iPad. I love my iPhone but texting is a pain because of the small keyboard. If your like me you take your ipad everywhere. Now you can text from the larger iPad screen and keyboard with unlimited free text messaging.

Now I just need a way to tether iPhone 4 to ipad by the iphone4 release date.
