My Netflix Instant queue is long. Very, very long. And because I’m not a quitter, I’m determined to watch every last bit of it. Attacking it from my iPhone actually gives me a fighting chance. More »
Apple has pulled Camera+ from the App Store. Its only sin: Allow iPhone customers to press the volume button to take photos. But why are they taking away a feature that everyone has been demanding since the JesusPhone was introduced? More »
Jailbreaking is truly and totally back for every iDevice, and it hasn’t been this easy for years. But with iOS 4’s new features, is it worth the (minimal) effort? 16 times yes. More »
Apple’s gone out an bought itself another mapping company. This time it’s Canadian firm Poly9, which makes interactive 3D software designed for use in a browser. It could be an important step towards Apple making their very own Google Earth. More »
I just had a videochat over 3G and it was the most amazing thing I’ve experienced all day. There was some lag, voice quality wasn’t perfect, and video was sometimes jittery. But I loved every minute of it. More »
If you own a guitar and an iPhone and just want to practice or play for a few friends, there’s no need to carry around a massive amp or guitar rig anymore. Griffin Technology and Frontier Design Group have collaborated to create the Griffin GuitarConnect cable, which you can use to hook up your guitar to your iPhone, and the iShred LIVE iPhone app, which gives you all the features of a more complex and complicated rig in the palm of your hand.
The GuitarConnect cable is specifically designed to plug in to your guitar, bass, or other instrument using the quarter-inch cable on one end and into your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad on the other using its 3.5mm cable on the other. Once you have the GuitarConnect cable, you’ll want the iShred LIVE companion app to go with it.

As you might’ve notice, either here on the site or likely elsewhere on the internet, we at Engadget have somewhat of an affinity to social networking. With a new screen sitting here saving us some screen real estate, we decided to give a number of Twitter and other pro-social apps a go for perennially staying connected to our online friends — so long as there’s a decent WiFi connection nearby. Here’s the highlights from what we’ve toyed with, and stay tuned for even more roundups on the horizon.
Twitterific for iPad (free; $4.99 for Pro account) – Definitely the best Twitter app on the iPad so far (pictured above). It works great in portrait and landscape, contextual links conveniently pop out and photos even get special format treatment. No option to upload photos when tweeting, but we’re guessing with a lack of a camera, it didn’t seem as necessary an addition — we like to show off our screen captures and saved browsing images, but hey, that’s just us. The only deterrent for power users is that you can only view one column at a time, but with lists, saved searches, and all other thread options easily accessible from the leftmost column, we didn’t find it too inconvenient whatsoever.
