Alpha testing new Qik.com for omnia i910

i showed Qik.com my review on their app i did awhile back and they wrote me yesterday and asked me to do some alpha testing for them. being asked to test anything makes any nerd happy cause we get to try stuff out before anyone else does, WOOT!... so i will show you part of the email they sent me (im excluding the download link and the email address)

"Dear Adam, We invite you to participate in early alpha testing of our new WinMobile Touchscreen versions. It should work on Omnia SGH-i900 (not tested on SGH-i910), HTC Dual and Kaizer (not all modifications).

Features:
New UI
Sharing to YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.
640x480 for Samsung Omnia"

so as you can see they havent been able to test it on the i910 which is probably why they asked me to do some testing.

so far from what i have seen it works fine with only a few couple minor problems that they will be able to fix without a doubt

new fatures:

sharing on youtube, twitter, and facebook:

• these are good to have since youtube has more options to do with videos than qik.com does such as editing and stuff...
• twitter is a great thing to have you like updating people on what your doing and if you catch a good moment the best way to spread that is on twitter

• as for facebook.... well facebook is lame and over rated, but its still good to have for you face book tards

640x480 video:

• now i know it says for samsung omnia but i doubt that they would do that JUST for the omnia... if they did then awesome! the omnia is the shit!

New UI:

now the new user interface is nice and a lot of you omnia users are going to find it kind of familiar. its very finger friendly and it is mapped out similar to the omnia's camera interface (and other phones too im sure). take a look at these screen shots (they are taken with my digital camera since you cant use mymobiler when the camera is being accessed.

i would like to apologize in advance on the pictures that are rotated... they were all taken the same way and they all show up right on my computer but for some reason when uploading, google decides to rotate some so they arent horizontal and it wont let me edit them in the site for some reason either sooo this is going to have to do till i figure out whats wrong



from here you can see how to sign in and sign up so it doesnt all have to be done from the website



the picture on the left you can see that it detects what storage devices are on your phone and yo can choose which one you want to save to and you also have the geo tagging for the gps enabled phones

next is the resolutions you are able to record in with 6 to choose from



on the right you can see the sharing options

when i wrote them back i informed them about the problems i found (which i will leave out since they will be fixed) and i also suggested to them that they make use of the LED light so we can record in the dark like we would with our normal video recorder

hope you all enjoy the first look

a lot of you will remember her from one of the hit MTV shows (back when mtv was worth a shit) my so called life where her career took off. the beautiful grunge teenage girl growing up and trying to figure out life. she was one of the tv girls i had a major crush on when i was growing up and i still do. she is absolutely beautiful.

App reviews (mymobiler and pocketwit)

hellos to all you app tards... as some of you already know these are all reviews about apps im using on my samsung omnia i910. if you are using a different phone i can not guarantee that these apps will work the same or worse. if there is an app you would like me to try please leave me a comment with the name of it and where i can download it.

first up: MyMobilier

this app is pretty nifty for those of you that create things on your phone or for those of you who dont want to switch back and forward between cell phone an computer.

for me i have been using it to take screen shots of the interface i have been making using wad (click here to see) and also to record video of your display screen (click here to see). but i also use it to text message on my phone but using my computer keyboard. let me demonstrate with a picture....

in that picture you see the blog i am writing and the mymobilier program. the program is currently showing my buddy randy's tweets that come in on a text message. well on the phone if i set the input to keyboard mode i can just click in the type box and type out my message quick and easily... you can do just about anything on this program that you do on your phone. you can go threw your contacts, text messages, picture, file explorer, just like you were doing it with your finger but the only deference is your using a mouse for quicker and easier access... the only thing i have noticed so far that you cant do is use the camera to record or take pictures when your using the program. you can access the camera it just doesnt show up on your monitor. it still works just fine on the phone. and if your recording your phone screen with the video record function it for some reason plays it back much faster than what you were actually doing it... but you can use windows movie maker to slow it down... thats what i did at least.

so all in all this is a direct way to access your phone without having to actually pick up your phone... there are 2 ways to access your phone. active sync or you can use the ip address. both work just fine. for me this is one of those must have apps. so check it out for yourself

=-=-=-=-=-=-=

next! : PockeTwit

for all of you twitter fans out there this is a must have(if you dont know what twitter or want to see a neat twitter project click here). if you use twitter a lot or would like just have it for on the go more than just their text message service then this is the app you need.. i prefer using this than the site itself...

with pocketwit you can send out a post from anywhere, check your time line from anywhere, and even look up local posts... well as long as you have a dataplan otherwise you need wifi... you can quote and RT (re-tweet {resend posts}) other members posts, you can write your own post and add links and pictures and it will automatically shorten the link and use twitpic for you. you can also use the geotag with your gps.

the interface is really nice to where you can scroll threw your friends timeline with a flick of a finger. it has plenty of options and even change the colors of the interface. it is even update friendly by telling you there is an update and you can choose to quickly install it or pass.

for those of you that have multiple twitter accounts you can easily select which twitter account you are viewing or even quickly switch from one to another to make a post.

so those of you that have twitter and want to have it on the go check out this app it will satisfy all of your twittin needs

cool new app for smart phone users!

well i dont know how "new" it actually is but i just found out about it and the few people i asked about it had never heard of it either... so most likely you havent heard of it either! but if you have then you can go read another one of my posts....

so many of you already know that i have a samsung omnia i910. i am a technology freak, i love looking up new devices, gadgets , and recently apps for my phone. well i was going to write about the universe of star wars today but when i saw this app i decided it gets a post of its own...

ok ok i know your ready to read about the app and your telling me to stfu... so here we are

QIK: stream live video straight from your phone!

i know your saying its been done already with the webcam apps.. but this is different. you dont need to be near or connected to a computer for this. all you need is a broadband signal and it will stream it directly to their page and any page you have your flash video player embedded to. just like right now i am streaming live while i write this post!

now if your service includes a data plan you can stream straight from your phone anywhere you have service... and since i have verizon that is just about ANYWHERE. but if you dont have a data plan or you have bad service at the time you can stream live right over the wifi! yeah fuckin sweet i know.

not only can you stream live but even if you get cut off it will load the rest of your video later on when you get back in service. do you have any idea all the ways this could be used... lol no no not live porn you slut.... just think if they had this during 9/11... imagin all the extra footage that would have been taken just from phones. all streamed live straight to the Internet. have a friend that was to sick to go to a concert to see their favorite band? stream that shit right to them and show them how good of a friend you are. friends gonna do a good stunt or funny prank? getting probed by aliens? fuck yeah make that shit LIVE! so many more things will be seen on the spot since you will no long ever have to wait for the news van to get its slow humpty dumpty ass there....

it doesnt just stream your videos live, it also saves them to the site and if your not currently live it will show the last video recorded on your player.

there are quite a few options for this including different resolutions, qualities, private or public videos. but one of the best things about this is that you can have it directly upload to different network accounts such as twitter, blogger, youtube, and many more.

so all of you video crazy youtubers need to grab this awesome and totally cool app.. its very easy to use and most of the setup is done online... all you have to do is set up your stuff on the website and then do a video feed anywhere you want... trust me there will be alot more videos done by me soon so keep coming back to see me slowly take over the world!

before i go i will leave you a link of the compatible phones so far LINK

and here is the video player which automatically goes live once you do



if you like this app please send out the link to this post to everyone who also might enjoy it!

Einstein's twitter

a quick post before i go to sleep.. why does it matter really... i only know of 2 people that have read this... one day tho.... i... will be... a blog superstar!... *dramatic music*

ok so we all know what twitter is... but for those that dont i will do a brief explination...

twitter is like a blog but its smaller (aka micro blogging) and intended for quick updates (or in case of the twitter addicts its also used to chat which can be annoying depending on how yo have it set up). now lets say in the morning you decided your going to go off to the park.. well you can take out your phone and send a text to "40404" saying:

"im off to broad ripple park
to hang out and play with my dog.
let me know if you are coming
so we can meet up
i will be there from 1 - 4pm"

this way any of the people that are "following" your twitter account can be updated on what your doing incase they would like to join. you can really use it for anything its just an update more or less of what your up to... i myself like to send funny stuff now and then and also tell people what im up to.... now ashton kutcher uses it to send demi's ass over twittland... dont belive me? CLICK IT

my twitter bar is on the right of this page if you need more of a direct idea...

now that you have an idea of what twitter is. lets go on to the second part of this blog which resolves around someone way cooler than ashton kutcher (man demi is hot)

For those of you who dont recognise this man... its our main man of relativity.... albert einstein... now there was no email back then, in fact the closest thing to email was morse code done over telegraphs.

so its obvious there was nothing close to twitter in the days of einstein.... but what if there was? what if he had a twitter account?

what do you think he would send out in his tweets? thats what i want to know... i want you to come up with some ideas, scenarios, sketches, what the fuck ever. all i want it to be is what you think einstein would say on his twitter

leave me some comments in this post and over time i will add the best ones to the post itself. so get workin on it. it can be anything from just a direct quote of what the twitter would say - to a drawing - to a story board- to a video you made

bring on the works and pass the link along to get more people in on the fun
