Insurance For iPhones

A new iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad app was released on Tuesday called Dano Pirate & The Numbers. It’s an educational app and it helps children learn many math- and writing-related things.

The app helps children:
- Write by having them trace the number 1-9
- Read by having them choose what number they hear
- Understand sequences by filling in missing numbers
- Understand quantity by matching objects with the
..corresponding written number

There are 20 games in the app that help the children with each of these things. An article on sfgate.com says “In one of the mini-games, children must identify and tap on a number to help Dano through a maze to reach Julia the Princess. In another, players match the quantity of a set of objects by tapping the correct number. In another, the player must guide Dano across a pond by tapping on numbered islands in the correct sequence. As the game advances, players are asked to help Dano by counting backward.”

The app is available at the App Store for iPhone and iPod Touch for $1.99 and on the iPad and iPad2 for $2.99.

Apple has recently been awarded several world records for both the iPhone 4 and the App Store. Here’s what was awarded by The Guiness Book of World Records 2011 Gamers Edition. The fastest selling portable gaming system is the iPhone 4. According to Guiness, the first-day sales of the iPhone 4 was an estimated 1.5 million units. In comparison, the PSP sold only 200,000 units and the Nintendo DS only sold 600,000 units the first day they were available.

The most popular application marketplace, the largest downloadable video game store, and largest launch line-up of any gaming system is the Apple App Store. The App Store had over 6.5 billion downloads and nearly 260,000 apps available for download- which makes it the most popular downloadable app store in the world. Out of all these apps, nearly 40,000 of them were games, making the App Store the largest video game download store in the world. The last award the app store received, largest launch line-up of any gaming system, was determined when the App Store launched. It had over 500 apps when it launched, and 145 of those were games- which won the App Store the award.

A brand new app just hit the app store earlier today. It’s called RoadAhead and it can tell you what restaurants, gas stations (and their prices!), and other attractions are coming up at exits when you’re driving on the interstate. The app uses the GPS to determine what interstate you’re on and what exits are coming up. When you select one of the options on the list, the app will show you the address and a zoomed-in map of the option you select so you can find where you want to go easily. It’s available for free for your iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad so go to the app store and download it now!

After a recent release of JAJAH on Andriod devices, a new app was released for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. With this new app, you can make phone calls to anyone, anywhere in the world for a very low price. The newest addition to JAJAH, however, is the ability to call your facebook friends using the JAJAH app.

JAJAH CEO, Trevor Healy, stated “Within hours of launching Facebook Calls for Android we saw thousands of calls, so we are very excited to bring this to iPhone owners. Calling has finally arrived in Facebook.”

Making a call to a Facebook friend is very simple. There are four easy steps to do this:
1- Download the JAJAH app from the iTunes store
2- Login to Facebook
3- Select a friend from your “online friends” list
4- Wait for your friend to accept the phone call- they will receive a message in chat telling them you’re calling. Once they accept the call, it connects, and you can talk to them.

The app uses the internet to connect the call, but once it’s connected, it’s just a regular call, which means that every call will have great quality. If you want to know more about JAJAH, check out their website here!

There are millions of blind people living in the United States. When they have pay for something with cash, it is very difficult for them because the all of the US dollar bills are the same size. The only way to tell the difference between a $1 bill and a $100 bill is to look at it.

Well, a company called LookTel is changing things up a bit. They just came up with an app that uses the camera on the iPhone or iPod Touch to identify and say aloud which bill is showing on the screen in real-time. The app doesn’t require an internet connection, so you can use the app anywhere, anytime. Check out the video below.

This app is only $1.99 and is available for download now!

CBS Sports just announced that Apple has a new app available called NCAA March Madness On Demand. Last year during the tournament, Apple had an app available that allowed users to watch March Madness live, but it cost $9.99. So this year, you can check out whatever March Madness basketball game you want- all for free.

The app is available for the iPhone and iPod Touch, but there is also an app made specifically for the iPad.

The reason they made this app free this year is to target younger viewers.  According to Michael Adamson, vice president of Time Warner, Inc said ,“We want people using the product with these companion views while they’re watching it on TV. If that’s the case, that’s a success in our minds, because that’s a good consumer experience and a larger aggregate audience as a result.”

You can download the app in the app store today. It’s all completely free- enjoy March Madness!

If you’ve made the mistake of giving your baby your iPhone or iPod Touch just once, you know now that your baby won’t want to play with anything else from now on. Well, now you can let them play with your iPhone or iPod Touch and not have to worry about them breaking it or damaging it in any way. Fisher-Price has just come out with a great new case called the Laugh n Learn iCan Play case. The case protects your iPhone or iPod Touch from your baby and at the same time, it allows your baby to play with it, too. It has rings on the sides for your baby to chew on and play with and a mirror on the back. Also, the case covers up the home button because Fisher-Price knows that if there are any buttons to push, a baby is going to push it. With the home button covered up, the baby can play with the iPhone or iPod Touch and not be able to exit out of the app you have them using.

Fisher-Price also has some free apps for your baby at the app store designed for babies that are 6 months and up. The Laugh n Learn iCan Play iPhone case will be available for $14.99 sometime this summer.

The Crime Stoppers programs just released an app into the app store. It’s is called TipSubmit and it allows people to use their iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to send in anonymous tips to help solve and prevent crime in their neighborhoods. 

TipSubmit offers features that aren’t available with any existing tip submission process. It has the ability to submit images and messages with unlimited length. It also has a fully anonymous two-way dialogue and even a virtual chat mode. Of course, this new app doesn’t mean tipsters can’t call Crime Stoppers or get online to report tips.

TipSubmit is available on the app store for free!

Apple has just realeased a new app into the app store. It’s called Mobile MIM and used primarily for medical imaging. The app is for the physicians who aren’t able to be in the office but have an important and urgent patient who needs a test or scan of some kind. With the Mobile MIM app, the images can be sent to the physician’s iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch and he/she can view them from wherever he/she is. This app allows the physician to make a diagnosis and give the patient the medications they need, even if he/she can’t be in the office.

This app was one of the first in July 2008 when the app store first began, but the FDA ordered that it be removed. The FDA has just recently cleared this app, but says it should never be used for x-rays or mammograms because the screens of the iDevices do not have high enough resolution. They do, however, have enough resolution to view images like CT scans, MRIs, and nuclear imaging scans.

The app is available for free now at the app store. But even though the app is free, it costs to send or receive an image and to purchase software that serves images to the devices from within the physician’s institution.

A new app has just been released for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad. It’s called IntoNow and it can identify 2.6 million broadcast airings. It’s like the Shazam app- the one that ”listens” and tells you what song it hears. All you have to do is open the app, press start, and within just a few seconds, you know exactly what you’re watching.

Open IntoNow app and select the TV icon and it listens to whatever TV show you’re watching and can identify the name of the show, what episode it is, and whether the episode is live or if it’s a rerun.

When using this app, you can choose to share what you’ve found out on Facebook or Twitter. You can also see what all your friends are watching, too. The app is available from the app store for free. Check it out now!
