  • iPhone as webcam - iPhoneCam turns your iPhone into a wireless Mac webcam

    If you’re already a Mac-user, chances are you already have a built-in iSight camera to do all the web-cam legwork for you. But, if the “cool factor” of having a built-in webcam on your MacBook Pro’s display bezel has started to wear, there’s good news. Mac/iPhone developer Ecamm has released a sneak-peak of their new iPhoneCam application for the, well, iPhone. The application leverages your iPhone’s camera to stream video, via WiFi, to your Mac machine. The video stream can be used in iChat, Skype, PhotoBooth, basically any Mac video application. Now, unless you have incredible muscle tone or a handy-dandy iPhone-stand, we envision some serious deltoid-cramping in store for anyone trying to use iPhoneCam for an extended video chat session. Still, we gotta give kudos to Ecamm for this super-cool app. Now, let’s get video recording on the iPhone, shall we? Check out a video of the iPhoneCam demo here .

  • Wirelessly synchronize your iPhone - iPhone iSync promises to bring WiFi-based iTunes sync

    Synchronizing all your contacts, calendar items, bookmarks, music, and photos from your Mac to your iPhone is just about as simple a process as you could ask for. But, that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. One thing that would make the sync-ing process even simpler and hassle-free is the addition of a wireless iTunes synchronization solution. Well, Mac developer francisois agrees. He’s working on iPhone iSync to bring WiFi-based iTunes synchronization to the iPhone. So far, iPhone iSync will sync a specified folder on your Mac to your iPhone (and even iPod Touch) over a WiFi connection. The logical extension of this software would be to bring iTunes-based wireless sync to the iPhone. francisois says that he’s working to make the iPhone iSync software work with the current version of iTunes. And, to his credit, he says that he’s “reached a breakthrough that has allowed me to synchronize my own iPod Touch over wi-fi with an older version of iTunes.” Compatibility with iTunes 7.5 should be on the horizon, which should see music, photos, contacts, and bookmarks wirelessly synchronized to the iPhone. He’s looking for help in breaking down the walls to iTunes 7.5, so if you’re handy with “shell scripts and ssh and especially iTunes library access,” francisois could use your help. Jailbroken iPhones can grab the iPhone iSync software from Google Code . We’ll stay on top of any developments in wireless iPhone synchronization, stay tuned.

  • Rumor alert: Research In Motion working on wireless file transfer for BlackBerry - use RIM's BES servers to transfer data

    We love rumors - especially when they have a distinct possibility of becoming reality. We’re not sure how legit this particular rumor is, but it sure is enticing. Word on the street is that Research In Motion, makers of the addictable (yes it’s a word, we just made it up) BlackBerry handsets, is hard at work on a wireless file transfer tech. The new feature would allow CrackBerry addicts to move files between their computer and their mobile phones sans cables, wires, or even Bluetooth. RIM is allegedly planning to pull this off by routing all your files through the same type of server that makes the BlackBerry’s legendary push email functionality so, uh, legendary. The Globe and Mail is reporting that the technology will be dubbed BlackBerry Home Server (BHS) - complementing the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) that’s responsible for that push email we just mentioned. Cross your fingers, people. We’d love to see this tech actually reach the market in the near future - if not from RIM, then from someone else. Wireless file transfer could transform the way we interact with our converged handhelds. It’s great to have all our electronic gizmos in one powerful device, but if we have to get within 30 feet of, or physically connect with, our computers to actually synchronize files. Microsoft had the right idea with their wireless ActiveSync options, but they just didn’t go far enough. We’ll keep you updated on this one, stay tuned!
