Fancy a Qwiki?
I was recently invited to join the Qwiki Alpha. It’s a very interesting visual search presentation. It feels like a movie concept made real, see for yourself! Have a Qwiki
iphone translator – muy bueno
Finally – I have found a stand alone, legitimate reason to purchase an iphone. I have always thought they were essentially toys. Not that this is a bad thing, toys are great but I always had this nagging feeling that that I needed a better reason than Tetris or Steppin to have one. Until now I have had to convince myself that the Dog Whistler was just about enough (if my dog had ever come when I had used it). Anyway – now I have it. A translator for really really lazy people (like me). It currently only works for English-Spanish and vice versa but there are more languages to come. It is genuinely amazing.
A bit expensive (at £5 each way), the most I have ever spent on an app – completely worth it, even if the only thing that I done with it so far is to translate pages out of Wired and warning signs on tobacco packets for my friends while in the pub.
N.B. Actually, both Tetris and Steppin are reasons alone to get an iphone – the translator is still great though
Happy Holidays!
