Home away from home…

Today I’m bringing a selection of three iOS apps that I’ve been using lately. Hope you find them useful as I did.

Weather+

This first app is a weather app.

As with all weather apps, it shows you the weather, gives you forecasts and can have multiple locations.

However, you have a nice home screen, with a lot of detail and a animated background that changes based on the weather forecast.

Sure is not something important, but it looks nice and they also have a free version supported with ads.

Theodolite

This is a really cool app that makes use of all the iPhone sensors.

It gives different information like altitude, baring, position, angles, and so on.

It also uses the camera to generate the background image, so you can use it to align something on a wall for example.

It has a free and a paid version, with the free version being supported by ads as usual.

Fit It!

This last one is a game that although it might look like Tetris, it has a very different objective.

Basically you get different shapes, and with them you need to create a square. Sounds simple? It isn’t, as you get trough the game, it actually gets harder.

The game is free on its full version, and new levels are added by the community every day. Be sure to check this one out.

This will be all for today. Next time I’ll be back with a couple more selected apps for iOS.

Today was the Chinese new Year celebration at Trafalgar Square, London. Although the new year started a couple of days ago, they celebrate it for a couple of days. Today was really cool, with a lot of performances.

Unfortunately I didn’t had the time to go to China Town, but I’m sure over there was very good, but probably packed with people.

Anyway, here are the photos I took from the Trafalgar Square performances.

Well, today I updated the iOS on the iPhone to version 4.3 beta 3.

So far so good. The phone seems as fast as usual, battery usage is normal as well. I noticed two new features (besides the AirPlay which I can’t test): we now can see which apps use the location services, and my favorite, we can now create a personal wifi, which basically turns the phone into a hotspot.

I’m guessing in a couple of weeks we should have the final version, hopefully

iOS 4.3 Beta 3 up and running on iPhone.

Snow Leopard up and running time to sleep?
