Shazam adds LyricPlay, lets you act like you knew the words to that song all along

Posted in: app, iPhone, IphoneApps, ipod touch, IpodTouch, Today's Chili

Remember the song that was playing at the bar last night that you just had to know the name of? You busted out the iPhone and fired up Shazam to tag that sucker, and now that you’ve got it in your collection, so you can forever relive that magical first time you heard it. But whatever happened to immediate gratification? And since when was it possible to enjoy a song without fumbling through the lyrics? This morning’s upgrade to the popular music tagging app has your back — the premium versions of the service have added the LyricPlay feature, which syncs to the song you’re listening to, displaying its lyrics as it plays. The feature is currently available on the $6 Shazam Encore and (Shazam) Red apps for the iPhone and iPod touch. It works with 25,000 plus songs and growing, and is set to become the bane of bartenders around the world by the middle of next week.

Our Choice for iPad and iPhone [Video]

Posted in: apps, Books, ebooks, IphoneApps, politics, Today's Chili, top

While the iPad has ramped up my of internet reading considerably, I still prefer to tackle books in their physical form, largely because there’s no real advantage to reading them on the tablet. Our Choice, the latest volley in Al Gore’s noble crusade for climate change, is evidence that when crafted with care, the electronic book can surpass its paper predecessor in style and substance.

Here’s a problem you might have encountered: you’re boppin’ along to a song on your computer when you realize it’s time to leave. So in addition to putting on socially acceptable clothes and making sure you have your keys, you have to tap, tap, tap your way to that same song on your iPhone, too. Ugh. What a pain. Unless you have Seamless! More »

Pieceable Viewer lets devs share iOS apps, personal feelings through a browser

Posted in: Apple, apps, developers, ios, IphoneApp, IphoneApps, Today's Chili

For developers not quite ready to offer their iOS creations in the App Store, a new service promises to suck the grunt work out of bouncing works-in-progress off others. Pieceable Viewer is the magical program in question, launching today to let devs publish a copy of their apps to a private website, whose link they can share with beta testers, clients, and fellow code monkeys. Viewer generates a single line of code for sharing and, irony of all ironies, uses Flash to simulate apps inside the browser. It could be compelling for freelancers working with clients who don’t happen to own an iPhone, and, adds the company’s CEO, it helps devs circumvent Apple’s 100-device limit. All this from a company whose existing product enables people with no coding experience to build apps.

You can try it for free, with one person able to view one app, and a link that expires after an hour. Upgrade to a $30-a-month plan for three simultaneous views of up to five applications, and links that don’t expire. (For unlimited apps, you’ll have to spring for the $60 monthly plan, which lets up to ten people peep at once.) As for all you Android enthusiasts, your version is up next (surprise, surprise).
