Ai-je besoin d'un iPad ?

Ai-je besoin d'un iPad ?

Certainement puisque je suis en train d'essayer de rédiger ce post sur mon iPod dans SimpleNote et dans mon lit. Je pense que ce serait plus efficace sur un écran 4 fois plus large !!!

D'un autre côté pourquoi est-ce que je ne le fais pas depuis le MacBook de ma femme ? Le seul argument semble être l'instantanéité. Il me faut quelques secondes pour prendre mon iPod et lancer SimpleNote, alors que chercher le MacBook et ouvrir une session va me prendre plusieurs minutes. Mais je suis en train de reperdre tout le temps que j'ai gagné, en essayant de taper plus de 140 caractères sur ce minuscule écran tactile...

Donc je vois l'intérêt de l'iPad pour des applications comme SimpleNote ou Writeroom, pour surfer, et pour les jeux bien sûr. Mais je ne suis pas convaincu par la partie bookstore : la Kindle me va parfaitement pour lire des livres car je peux le tenir de la main gauche ou de la main droite et tourner les pages avec le pouce. Je ne vois pas comment je pourrai faire ça avec l'iPad qui est plus encombrant, plus lourd et avec une cinématique plus complexe pour tourner les pages. L'iPad semble plus fait pour lire des magazines que pour lire des livres : c'est un emagazine reader pas un ebook reader !

Mais mon principal problème avec l'iPad est que son format invite à le partager, mais que l'iPhone OS ne le permet pas. En effet j'imagine très bien que tout le monde chez moi ait son iPod ; mais je ne nous vois pas avec 5 iPad ! On a déjà 4 ordinateurs pour 5, et ils sont tous configurés en multi utilisateurs pour offrir plus de flexibilité et éviter les frustrations permanentes.

Si le premier iPad pouvait être utilisé par plusieurs utilisateurs, chacun ayant ses login, ses préférences, mais partageant les applications, les abonnements et les contenus avec tous les autres utilisateurs, alors je l'achèterais sur le champ. Sinon j'ai peur que ce soit plus une source de discorde s'il ne peut pas être partagé, ou qu'il faille tellement le brider pour pouvoir le partager qu'il va se retrouver moins utile qu'un iPod touch.

Est-ce que quelqu'un a réfléchi au partage d'un iPad entre plusieurs utilisateurs ?

Logitech app turns your iPhone into wireless trackpad or keyboard

Check out: "Logitech app turns your iPhone into wireless trackpad or keyboard" - www.engadget.com http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/logitech-app-turns-your-iphone-into-wireless-trackpad-or-keyboar/?icid=engadget-iphone-url It ain't the first company to do it, but Logitech's new iPhone app is certainly one of the easiest to get into. Oh, and did we mention that it's completely free to download? Available now in the App Store, Touch Mouse transforms your handset into a wireless trackpad or keyboard, and thanks to its reliance on vanilla WiFi signals, you won't need any proprietary equipment to get it up and running. It's fully compatible with both Mac and PC platforms, and it's obviously a pretty fantastic way to control your HTPC without dragging a full-fledged keyboard / mouse into the living room. Hit the source link for more details, and be sure to let us know how it goes in comments once you give it a roll.


[Thanks, Wulf]

Mobience smallQWERTY keyboard saves the lives of touchscreen detesters

Check out: "Mobience smallQWERTY keyboard saves the lives of touchscreen detesters" - www.engadget.com http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/mobience-smallqwerty-keyboard-saves-the-lives-of-touchscreen-det/?icid=engadget-iphone-url
Have any idea what a SureType keypad would look like if it were removed from a BlackBerry and (barely) enlarged? We're guessing it'd look a little something like this. Designed by Mobience, the smallQWERTY keyboard is meant to give you a more tactile option when it comes to texting or inputting characters into your phone, MID, UMPC or pretty much any other handheld device. There's no mention of a price, and we're not told exactly how long it'll take to master this thing, but we're bubbling over just thinking of the fun we could have from hacking into the text input fields of nearby devices with this. Shh... you didn't hear that from us.

Akai Professional announces iPK25 and SynthStation Studio

Akai SynthStation Studio

Akai Professional has announced the iPK25 keyboard controller and the SynthStation Studio music production app, both for iPhone and iPod Touch.


The iPK25 and SynthStation Studio transform a musician’s iPhone or iPod Touch into a portable music production studio for mobile music creation. While the SynthStation Studio app is powerful enough for professional musicians, virtually anyone can use it to easily create music. The app gives musicians three synthesizers for creating and modifying sonic textures used for melodies, chords and bass lines. Built around Akai Professional’s history in synthesis and drawing on the company’s newest MINIAK synth, the SynthStation Studio app sounds great and offers wide-ranging sonic flexibility with its virtual analog synthesis.


SynthStation Studio users can create and save sequences and complete songs. The app contains three different three-oscillator synths, and drum kits, which musicians can sequence and mix right in the SynthStation Studio. For creating melodic and accompaniment parts, the SynthStation Studio contains an arpeggiator with preset patterns, built-in effects and filters and an XY control interface for expressive control of key parameters.


Akai iPK25

The SynthStation Studio features an on-screen keyboard for use on the go. It is also designed for use with its companion keyboard, the iPK25.


This 25-key MIDI keyboard features a built-in dock for the iPhone or iPod Touch. It gives users two octaves of velocity-sensitive, synth-action keys, pitch and modulation wheels, and physical buttons for the most commonly used controls including octave up and down and sound-bank selections.


iPK25 features



  • 25-key MIDI keyboard controller for iPhone and iPod touch.

  • Velocity-sensitive, synth-action keys for expressive performance.

  • Pitch and modulation wheels, octave +/-, and sound-bank buttons.

  • Stereo RCA line outputs and headphone jack.

  • USB/MIDI for virtually any MIDI music software or MIDI hardware devices.

  • Seamlessly compatible with Akai SynthStation Studio app.

    • The iPK25 will be available from pro audio and musical instrument retailers in March 2010. It has a U.S. Retail Price of $199 USD and an estimated street price of $149 USD. The SynthStation Studio app will be available from the iTunes App Store in January 2010.

Ion Introduces iPhone Music Keyboard

Ion semble décidé à créer une offre de clavier pour iPod/iPhone: Querty mais aussi Midi comme ici...

via Synthtopia by synthhead on 1/8/10

Image: Synthesizers

Ion introduced the iDiscovery keyboard for the iPhone at CES 2010.

The iDiscovery iPhone keyboard features pitch and modulation wheels and variety of other controls which interface directly with a keyboard tutor application that the controller is designed to operate with.

No word on how this may or may not work with other apps – but we’ve been looking for something like this ever since iPhone software synths started coming out.

Pricing is TBA.

Naughty Panther releases DroneStation

Naughty Panther (Chris Randall of Audio Damage) has released DroneStation, a new music app for iPhone / iPod Touch.


DroneStation is a simple “analog-style” 2-oscillator synthesizer with an unique and easy-to-play control system.


There are four “keys” on the left side of the screen, and you can select the pitch of each key. If you touch or slide left/right, the volume of the note is affected. Moving your finger up/down bends the pitch of the note, resulting in a very expressive playing method.


On the right side, the X/Y pad controls LFO rate (left-right) and LFO depth (up-down). A short video is available on YouTube (search DroneStation).


The settings panel allows you to control the notes of the keys, and the filter, waveform, and pitch offset of the synth itself.


DroneStation is designed to allow easy synthesizer playing for the non-musician, yet enable subtle expression for the musician that isn’t available with most synths available on hand-held platforms.


DroneStation is available to purchase from the iTunes App Store, priced at $1.99 USD.

New App Lets You Remix Brian Eno & Make Beats On Your iPhone

Click here to view the embedded video.


Kent Jolly’s Audio Palette (App Store link) is a new iPhone app that lets you remix beats in a unique, hands-on way. It comes with sample content created by Brian Eno and others.


In Audio Palette, each sound is represented on the screen as a circle. The closer your touch is to the center of the circle, the louder the sound.


Your performance is automatically recorded and looped back with perfect timing accuracy allowing you to create a new loop built from your remix. You can record up to four of these looped recordings and switch instantly between them to create yet another layer of performance. The software also allows you to edit the positions and sizes of the circles on screen, so you can develop your own style of play.


Features:



  • 4 audio palette sample sets

  • Automatic looping with high accuracy timing for perfect loops

  • 4 touch performance record buffers

  • Edit mode with ability to move and size palette circles

    • Audio Palette is $1.99.
