Text Twist (04-01-2008) (iPhone Game)

The point of the game is to spell all the words you can for points, but make sure to get a six-letter word or the game is over. The game is fully playable– tap letters to put them in and out of the word grid, double tap to submit the word. The famous ‘twist’ is performed by tilting the device clockwise or counterclockwise, and then tilting it back again. Once the round is over, words you missed are displayed in caps. By the way, if there’s too many potential words to fit on the screen, the text area up there is scrollable.

Funiculus v0.22 (iPhone Application)

Funiculus is a guitar tuner for the iPhone…similar to those you might by in a guitar store. It listens to you play a note, and it analyzes the pitch of the note and tells you whether you are sharp or flat. Because it uses the internal microphone, it cannot be used on an iPod Touch.

Release notes:

Don’t let the new opening screen fool you. Not too much has changed, except for the new “Nearest Pitch” mode.

The nearest pitch mode allows “hand free” operation of Funiculus. It doesn’t require to know what note you are trying to play…it merely tries to match it to the closest standard note. Of course, this requires you to be somewhat close to your desired note.

There is also a display which shows the note being tuned against. In some cases, the note may be WAY off…don’t worry…it’s trying to tune against an overtone. This is more likely to happen on the lower strings.

The new version (0.22) can be downloaded via the SourceForge page. It will probably soon be released on the ModMyIfone Installer repository as well. (See link in margin.)
