Logically deduced by Taji StudioApp for the iPhone StudioApp from Karsidy.com mentions on their website that some tester said the following: "The fun of StudioApp is being able to record on the go with all of my buddies and make a hit in 5 minutes. I can't get enough of it!" -Eric Spett (one of the first testers for StudioApp) As an ex-musician and current voice over artist... I highly doubt that this application can give you studio quality anything... but I love the application's icon which shows you a high end condenser microphone (or is that a tube mic?) with a pop guard... apparently the...

Hey All, You will notice today that the Emporium is Google Adsense free...

Ode to my iPhone

I gotta tell you folks, I never liked the iPhone… I am not a big fan of Apple Computer Systems. I used their computers throughout the 90s and up until 2005 since I worked in the Design business but honestly I just never liked them… mind you I never liked PCs either… I had Linux (ubuntu for those interested) installed on my main home PC for a while but I got frustrated when I would get freelance design work and couldn’t use the native linux software to finish the work. I know their is software that could do the job … I was just not proficient enough in it to use it.

So! I pretty much hate all operating systems equally… And I have to say the same goes to the iPhone’s operating system. Its slow… I mean reeeeaaally slow compared to say my old Palm Treo 650… of course the treo had half the screen size and resolution … didnt have 1/5th the processing power and didnt have wifi. Incidently I own a 2G… in Egypt buying an iPhone cost an arm and a leg so I bought it used for a little more than you would buy it in the states (or canada) with a contract. Read More
