SkyView for iPhone Review (Give-Away)

SkyView – Explore the Universe ($0.99) by Terminal Eleven LLC is an app that puts the W in wow. It’s an augmented reality app that allows you to use your iPhone or iPod touch camera in order to view the different stars, constellations, and the a lot of information about all of the planets, the Moon, and the Sun. SkyView does this by  implementing layers of augmented reality on top of your iPhone’s live camera view so you get a 3D interactive guide to anything that you see in the sky. The layers can be adjusted in the settings so you can choose what you want to view. The application usually opens up to a Calibration screen (tested on 4th Gen iPod touch, and iPhone  3G and 4) and allows you to calibrate your camera with the app, while the location services pinpoints your location. 

Apple Releases New “iPad is Delicious” Commercial

Yesterday, Apple released their new iPad commercial on both primetime televison and also posted it to Apple.com and their Youtube page. The ad shows different apps being used on the iPad and reads off “iPad is…” with a  theme: delicious, current, learning, playful, literary, artful, friendly, productive, scientific, and (of course) magical. Earlier this year, in May, Apple released an ad that called back to the Newton Ads from almost 10 years ago. With this ad, Apple seems to move away from their original theme and add in a more upbeat and peppy theme.
