Insurance For iPhones

A new app for the iPhone allows you to take better photos at night. It’s called NightCap and it actually changes the amount of exposure time when taking a photo with your iPhone. The default exposure time for your iPhone’s camera is just 1/20 of a second. NightCap changes this to a full second so more light can reach the camera’s photo sensors.

NightCap is available now from the iTunes store for $0.99. It will work on iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, and iPod Touch 4th Generation and requires iOS 5.0 or higher.

AT&T is now offering a refurbished iPhone 3GS for just $9 with a two-year contract. A refurbished iPhone is one that was pre-owned and was returned to AT&T within the 30-day grace period. The refurbished phones are tested before they are available for sale and are reset to their factory standards.

You can also still get a new iPhone 3GS for just $49, and the iPhone 4 is just $199 with a two-year contract. Everything’s available on AT&T’s website.

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.

Dr. David Albert, a doctor from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma has just recently come up with an app that could literally save your life.  It allows you to monitor your heart. The device snaps onto the back of your iPhone so it can always be handy for you. It has two electrodes on it that allow you to just place the device on your chest. It works just like an ECG.

The most significant part of the device is the connectivity option. “A patient can transmit their own electric cardiogram to a healthcare provider, to a physician or to a critical care nurse,” Albert said.

Dr. Albert hopes to have the device on the market by April. He is planning on trying to sell it for under $100.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the TomTom iPhone app. Well, now I have more news about the app.

A new update to the TomTom iPhone app allows you to navigate to the location of geo-tagged photos. With the new version 1.5 of the TomTom app, all you have to do is tap on a geo-tagged photo and TomTom will immediately take you to where the photo was taken. It is available for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with iOS 3.0 or higher.

TomTom said, “You no longer need to enter an address to get going. What you see is where you’ll go.”

Sounds pretty good to me.

There is a new app for your iPhone that helps kids learn to read by identifying the most commonly used words in the English language.  22Moo recently updated an app for your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad called Chirpy: Dolch Sight Words Pre-Primer.

Chirpy is a cute little chicken who was created after reviewing feedback from parents, teachers, and kids from all around the world.

In 1948, Dr. Edward William Dolch made a list of the most frequently used words in the English language.  The list consists of 220 words.  Most of the words can’t be “sounded out” and have to be learned by sight.  Sight words make up about 50-70% of general text.

You can download this app here for only $0.99.

If you’re a music geek like me, the NanoStudio app is just for you.  By now, everyone knows that the iPhone is much more than just a phone- it’s a music player, too.  With NanoStudio, your iPhone can be the ultimate music-maker.  It has synths, trigger pads, sequencers, samplers and lots of other things.  Best of all, it’s easy to use! 

This app is an actual recording studio that has 4 virtual analogue synths, 16 sampler trigger pads, a comprehensive sequencer, a sample editor, a mixer, and 10 effects units that are all integrated into a single application.  Another thing this amazing app allows is for you to record different samples using the iPhone’s built in microphone and then resample with the app’s own output or upload it to your computer.

This app is simple enough for a beginner to figure out, yet complex enough to entertain an expert, like the man on the video.  This app is a little pricey at $15, but if you ever think you might get a little more ambitious, it’s worth the money.
