PocketCPR for doing life-saving CPR on the iPhone
Some of you might remember when covered the iStethoscope as well as the iStethoscope Pro, and I found this medical App known as PocketCPR.
PocketCPR is designed to give audio and visual instructions to the user to make certain that he or she is following the instructions of CPR. It uses the accelerometer to measure the rate and depth of chest compressions to make certain they are done properly.
The PocketCPR is an over the counter device that you can buy for $149. You should be able to get it for $3.99 in App form.
Granted, my Source says that the FDA has not approved it for an actual emergency, which is why it has “Training Use Only” stamp on it. They already have medical apps with SMS assistance.

Philips Fidelio DS8550 dock for iPod, iPhone, and iPad
Philips is certainly in no short supply of cool mobile devices with the GoGear Connect revealed the other day, which could easily compete with the new iPod Touch.
However, they have created a dock for the iPod Touch and other Apple products with the Fidelio DS8550, which looks like some sort of sequel to the Fidelio DS9000.
There isn’t really much to be said about a speaker dock, other than it can do sound. It can do talk to the dock via Bluetooth, and has a battery power as well.
I don’t have a price or availability date for it, but I wouldn’t mind one.

Official Twitter app updated for iPad
A few months ago, Twitter announced that they had acquired Tweetie and the web (I refuse to use the word "blogosphere" because it is a stupid word) exploded with predictions that they had effectively killed off the market for 3rd party Twitter applications by offering a free alternative.
With the release of Twitter as a universal app that now includes iPad support (read the official announcement here) I feel confident that the reports of the death of 3rd party Twitter applications have been greatly exaggerated.
The UI for Twitter for iPad is, without question, unlike any other Twitter application that we've seen. Opinions around the TUAW offices differ on whether this difference is "awesome" or "an abomination." I definitely range towards the latter end of the scale, and judging by most of the comments of people that I follow on Twitter, the initial reaction is definitely one of "too busy" and "over designed."
This is in sharp contrast to Twitterrific, which just released a major update for the iPad and iPhone where the Iconfactory made dramatic simplifications to the app, while retaining the most important features for the most users. (Craig Hockenberry talked about those changes here.)

TUAW’s Daily App: Super Mega Worm
Quality pixelated graphics and excellent sounds help immersion a lot, and the control scheme is surprisingly fitting for the kind of movement that the worm does. There's even a little mini-game in jumping off of various vehicles into the atmosphere and exploring the game field in both directions. Super Mega Worm isn't really a title for the faint of heart; even though the graphics are pretty retro, things get gory fast. But if you've ever found yourself laughing at or cheering for the monster in a horror movie, Super Mega Worm will probably dig its way into your free time. The game is US$2.99 on the App Store right now.

Angry Birds Beta Coming to Android Marketplace This Friday
Software developers have been able to come up with some pretty amazing games for today’s modern mobile platforms. Apple’s iOS, in particular, has seen the launch of several hard hitting titles netting their respective developers a small fortune.
One such title that is immensely popular and available for both iOS and the Nokia N900 is Rovio’s Angry Birds. This game tasks a player with slingshotting several different types of birds at legions of pigs in an attempt to claim back what’s rightfully theirs; their eggs. It may sound stupid, but trust me, it’s an amazingly addictive game that everyone who’s anyone should check out.
Anyways, just last week Angry Birds made the jump to webOS meaning it was available on 3 major platforms. However, Google’s Android mobile OS has yet to see the entry of Angry Birds into the Marketplace. Luckily, that will all soon change as Rovio has announced that they will be launching the public beta version of Angry Birds for the Android platform this Friday.
Rovio’s official statement below:
This week, we were planning to run a closed beta test of Angry Birds Lite for Android. Due to the massive response and demand from the Android community, we have decided to make AngryBirds Lite Beta available for everybody through the Android Market this Friday.
Please note that this will be the beta version of the application which is still undergoing final testing before official release. Angry Birds Lite Beta is presented on an “as is” basis, and we cannot guarantee its functionality on every Android device.
Seeing how they say they cannot guarantee its functionality on every Android device, it would probably be better to stick to only more modern devices when checking out the Angry Birds beta this Friday.

Apple & Flash on iPhone & Skyfire & Skyfire App & Skyfire iPhone App & iPhone & mobile software 01 Sep 2010 08:57 pm
Skyfire for iPhone awaiting approval at the App Store
We have reported that Skyfire has coming to the iPhone, and it will bring Flash video to the iPhone without breaking a rule about Apple’s Flash taboo.
It is tough to work around the restriction, but it will be similar to the Skyfire for Android that showed up earlier.
So, I wonder how this will compare to that Frash thing that we talked about for the iPad.
So, will this be the way people get Flash on their iPhone? I always wondered what would be the Flash filter that most iPhone users will use.

Epic Citadel could be the best iPhone game to date
What you are looking at is an iPhone game, known as Epic Citadel, from Epic Games, which made its epic game demo debut at Apple’s big event today.
Okay, this is easily the coolest game that I have seen for the iPhone, possibly ever. It is better than Broken Sword or Secret of Monkey Island 2. I have heard that the demo itself is not impressive, for now, as you can only wander around the city looking at pretty stuff.
However, even if it is just Myst, I can’t think of a cooler game. I am going to have to try it out later today, as the demo is free.

TransferBigFiles iPhone App
I’ve never transferred a video from one iPhone to the other, but I’m told that it comes out on the other end as a low-quality version. I believe that Fring, Facetime for 3G, and other programs do something like that.
If you want it done in an efficient manner, it is TransferBigFiles, an App that gives you 5GB of storage. It allows the user to send video or images to anyone with an email address with HD, medium, low, or VGA quality. People will send files to your phone too.
Even though the App is free, it does cost a little of your time as you must agree to “location services”. This has something to do with a safety feature that you can find out more about from my Source.

Lyric Legend is a music game with lyrics
This is Lyric Legend, which can be described as Tap Tap Revenge, but with words.
Basically, a song plays, and you don’t have to tap song spots or anything like Guitar Hero. Instead, you have to tap the words of the song at the right time.
In case you thought that you could tap into your iTunes music library and someone play a game tapping the lyrics of your favorite song, then you should know that it won’t happen. It does have 60 songs in the library, though.
You should be able to get this app for free now, and play up to 4 friends with Bluetooth.

InCrowd iPhone App for Facebook
This is the InCrowd iPhone App, and it works with Facebook to make a group of avatars interacting in a crowd like this.
In a way, it is kind of a game as these avatars of Facebook Places get to interact with each other by fist bumping, winking, and high-fiving through this digital mass.
Feel free to check out this Facebook App for yourself if you want to see how popular that you can become, as well as a cool avatar that looks like you, or not.
You can get it free on iTunes.
