Video: DJing on an iPad

by Mike Schramm (Dec 24th, 2010)

In the video below, you'll find a pretty rocking DJ set thanks to an iPad and some other pretty gnarly hardware. This isn't exactly a DIY solution, since DJ Kutski is using Traktor Pro (that's the software on the screen above) and an X1 controller, both of which are pretty significant pieces of DJ ...

Mac-based autonomous rovers at MacTech Conference 2010

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Nov 3rd, 2010)

We're here at the MacTech conference, and as everyone checked in and got breakfast there was a demonstration of some clever Mac-based rover robots designed and built by a team at the University of Arizona. The brainchildren of Professor Wolfgang Fink, these robots are designed to be autonomous and ...

StarDunk going to a free demo model

by Mike Schramm (Sep 25th, 2010)

StarDunk is one of my most favorite apps recently, ever since I covered it back for Daily App a little while ago. It's an amusing little 2D basketball game, made even more impressive by the fact that it juggles online multiplayer across the world -- as you throw baskets, you're also playing in ...

Epic Citadel shows the bright promise of iOS gaming's future

by Chris Rawson (Sep 3rd, 2010)

Epic Games, creator of the Unreal 3 game engine, has been working on getting Unreal Engine 3 running in iOS for a while now. They showed off some of their efforts with a demo of "Project Sword" at Apple's iPod event, and Mike Capps of Epic Games talked about the direction he saw gaming on iOS ...

App demo: SonicPics

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jun 22nd, 2010)

SonicPics does something I'd been wanting an app to do for a long time: create annotated slideshows with timing you direct. The demo speaks for itself, but I have to say that, after testing, it works as advertised. There could be some UI tweaks, but the act of creating slideshows that move to the ...

WWDC 2010: Interview with Moodboard developer Chris Nurre

by Mike Schramm (Jun 12th, 2010)

I believe we've mentioned Moodboard exactly once on the site before, as one of Brett's picks back when the iPad first released. But it deserves another mention -- developer Chris Nurre of A Tiny Tribe (a company founded with a friend to help pay for skeleton equipment and travel) stopped by to see ...

WWDC 2010: Show us your apps on June 10 and get a TUAW shirt

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jun 9th, 2010)

Tomorrow, June 10 (Thursday), yours truly will be camping out at the Metreon near the Moscone Center in San Francisco (Google map location here), specifically near Jillian's, in the little food court seating area (see pic, above). If you've got an app that you'd like to show the world -- and ...

Macworld 2010: Video demo of Square's credit-card reader for the rest of us

by Steven Sande (Feb 15th, 2010)

Last week at Macworld 2010, I had an opportunity to chat with Jim McKelvey of Square, the company that wants you to be able to take credit card payments for ... everything! TUAW has covered Square before, mainly discussing the big investors in the company including Jack Dorsey of Twitter and Digg's ...

Macworld 2010: Hands-on with Microvision's SHOWWX laser pico projector

by Mike Schramm (Feb 12th, 2010)

I'm still skeptical about laser projectors -- while the technology is impressive, the practicality is still a little limited. And unfortunately, Microvision's demo of their SHOWWX projector here at Macworld 2010 didn't do much to change my mind. It's a nice little device -- it's almost exactly the ...

Macworld 2010: Hands-on with Musicskins

by Mike Schramm (Feb 11th, 2010)

Musicskins was kind enough to show us around their booth on the Macworld floor, and while we expected to see the usual vinyl case stickers, what we found was actually pretty impressive. The 'skins, which are made for almost every accessory and device under the sun (the rep told us they add five to ...

by Mike Schramm (Dec 11th, 2009)

Want to check the charge on your electric car? There's going to be an app for that -- our friends at Engadget report that the upcoming Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid electric car will have an iPhone app that goes along with it. Features aren't firmed up yet, but ideas being passed around after a demo at ...

WWDC Demo: Dive Log, Trimix and Nitrox for iPhone, iPod touch

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jul 6th, 2009)

Living in a landlocked state I was never much of a diver. But if you are an active SCUBA diver, you may find Dive Log (and companions Trimix and Nitrox) useful. Dive Log (iTunes link) does what you'd think: it logs your dives. If you've never been diving this may seem trivial. Dive logs, however, ...

WWDC Demo: iTreadmill

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jun 23rd, 2009)

iTreadmill (App Store link) is a pedometer app for your iPhone or iPod touch. I spoke with the developer, who demoed the app for us at WWDC. It looks nice, appears to perform well, and features a respectable number of ways to customize and tune the readings. Pedometer apps may not save the world, ...

Devs at WWDC: Show us your apps!

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jun 10th, 2009)

Are you attending WWDC? Do you have a Mac desktop or iPhone app you'd like to show the world? Well join TUAW on June 11 at the Metreon (the big silver building right next door to the Moscone, where Jillian's is housed), where we'll have a camera ready for your close-up. We'll have a small table near ...

iPhone 3G demo units are going, going....

by Michael Jones (Jun 8th, 2009)

Clayton Morris noted on his blog Sunday that iPhone 3G demo units have been removed from display at his local Apple store. While it is not uncommon to see one or two displays missing for various reasons, Clayton noted that there were at least nine units missing from the main iPhone display tables. ...
