RulerPhone

December 31, 2008 iPhone App News

RulerPhone is a fascinating concept. The premise is that you set a credit card sized object next to anything that you would like to measure and the application allows you to find semi-precise measurements by comparing sizes.

To start, you can use images saved on your iPhone or just take a picture right then and there. Simply place a credit-card sized object up against the object and snap a photograph. The objective is to then adjust the the scales for the card first, then the measured object.

The application will then show you the estimation. The estimation can be shown in foot-inches, or just inches, Metric or English measuring system, and more options.

The Good: Quite innovative, great interface

The Bad: very little real-life application.

Bottom Line: It’s a pretty handy application, but I’m not so sure how applicable I find it in everyday life. People that will need this application usually have these things called Tape-measures. I’d invest.

"Dog Trainer" for the iPhone allows you to train your dog to learn new tricks using a silent dog whistle.

"Dog Trainer" works on a simple fact that dogs are capable of hearing sounds in a much higher frequency range than people can. This app emits a high frequency sound that can only be heard by dogs.

There are 3 whistle sounds to choose from: Long Whistle, Two Pips whistle and Mutliple Whistle.

The bar above the keyboard scrolls so you can view long expressions. The output pane shows the expressions you've entered and clicking one allows you to jump back to it. Trying to work through a difficult problem? Mathomatic shows steps when solving systems of equations, so it's easy to see what you missed!

Features:
- Solves systems of equations (showing steps and all possible answers)
- Simplifies and factors expressions
- Computes indefinite integrals
- Computes derivatives
- Computes laplace transforms
- Computes taylor series expansions
- Full support for imaginary numbers

The application does not support functions, such as cos() and sin(). However, some functions, such as log(), can be computed by solving expressions like 10^x = 100.

For more information about Mathomatic for iPhone and the open-source Mathomatic project, check out the Mathomatic website! Please let us know if you have any problems, and be sure to rate the application if you enjoy using it.

Price: $0.99 (iTunes)

align="right">Description:

The objective of the game is to eliminate marbles by making jumps, as in Checkers. The very best result for the puzzle is to finish with a single marble in the center location – exactly opposite the starting configuration. Jumps may be horizontal or vertical, not diagonal.

As moves are made, prior configurations of the board appear in the lower part of the screen. Tapping one of these produces an 'undo' operation. The 'Save' button allows you to store your personal best for later step-by-step review (via 'info' button).

Scoring:
'Genius' One marble, in the center
'Brilliant' One marble, not in the center
'Smart' Two marbles, in any locations
'Try Again' Three or more marbles
