A new voice-recognition search tool for the iPhone has problems understanding British accents, leading to some bizarre answers to spoken queries, reports say.
The free application, which allows iPhone owners to use the Google search engine with their voice, mistook the word iPhone variously for sex, Einstein and kitchen sink, said London’s Daily Telegraph.
mind Wave uses binaural tones to induce relaxation, increase concentration or aid sleep.Slip on some headphones, fire up mind Wave and listen your way to a different mood or state of relaxation. This app is actually very cool, and works very well… The ‘timer’ is a great function, so as not to waste your iPhone’s battery long after you’ve finished counting sheep.
Enjoy your relaxation time, get this app from the iTunes App Store.
Try this out… it’s not as good as in the promo video from Google, but then I am in an office with a few people around, but seriously, it’s got it wrong 8 times. I’m already getting annoyed with this app. Maybe I’m not american enough, seeing as the app has a disclaimer that says ‘works best with a Northern American English Accent’…!!!
It’s clever I suppose, maybe you’ll have more luck than me using this app.
The new Google Mobile App, is available TODAY on the iTunes App Store.
iPhone Dev Team have posted on their blog saying that 2.2 iPhone software MAY stop any future jailbreak UNLOCKS… the key word here is MAY stop it… They are not sure, but for them to even mention it, it must be a concern, so our suggestion is to wait for a few days after the update is released and see what the iPhone Dev Team say… Obviously, we’ll keep you all posted on the best course of action too… So check back on the 21st!
iPhone Dev Team’s blog post:
We’ve made some decent progress with the iPhone 3G, nothing worthy of a party as yet but we are moving along nicely, we’ll keep you updated on this.
Now for something a bit more serious, we’ve explained about Apple’s updates in the past and we’ve warned against the immediate installation of these updates without knowing what they do to your device.
This is indeed true of the iPhone 3G’s upcoming 2.2 release. Installing ‘2.2’ on the iPhone 3G could affect your chances of any software unlock in the near future (should one be found and released), so when you see an update in iTunes await our instructions first!
Please don’t blindly install the update and then complain about it later
An upcoming game has piqued our interest. We could call it a Puzzloop clone, but its really quite different, and actually a lot more polished. Use your multiple cannons to match 3 balls or more at a time (in a Puzzloop style) however, you’ve got two cannons and it works quite well. We love the surround graphics, it’s really well designed, and much more reminiscent of a video game from a big console. It feels like a full game, and that, we feel is something lacking at the moment on the iPhone.
Looks like Google are really backing the iPhone even though they have a competing device on the market. This time Google have previewed a version of Google that responds to you talking in to your iPhone. Ideal for searching whilst on the move. We can’t wait for this!
The iPhone headphone socket has a little contact switch inside it that tells the iPhone to switch from external audio to headphones audio when plugged in. Sometimes this can get some dust or fluff underneath the contact and the iPhone or iPhone 3G can get jammed in headphones mode.
To cure this, one suggestion from Apple Technicians is to insert and retract the headphone jack a few times to dislodge the dust or fluff and clear the contacts in the iPhone.
Be gentle, you don’t want to break your iPhone or Headphones.
DISCLAIMER: We accept no responsibility if your big strong hands break your iPhone in the process.
Independent developer Bas Tossings has released a charming new iPhone game called Loopy Laboratory. While it’s not entirely perfect, after playing too many half-finished games and glorified tech demos, it was refreshing to finally see a game with some depth and character. One iTunes reviewer has described this as a remake of Chip’s Challenge/Tile World which it does seem to resemble though the developer says he was inspired by a number of older puzzle games which came together for this project.
The gameplay video shows a few of the early levels (3, 6, 7) and a later level (31). Note that the conveyor belt does not video tape well (grey moving walkway). [toucharcade]
