Soundscape

Developer Quote: "Soundscape is a hypnotic music and sound visualiser for iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch 2010 or later."

- COST: 99 cents   - APP STORE RATING: 4-1/2 Stars
- Categories: Entertainment, Music, Native, Universal

Are you feeling in desperate need of some relaxation at the end of a long day? Unwinding takes many different forms. Some folks like a glass of wine, others a hot tub, others a good dinner while others enjoy their music. For an interesting change, try using Soundscape which takes the sound recorded by the microphone and converts it into a visual format. It has a very hypnotic and appealing affect on your vision and hearing senses. Music player controls are included so you can play tracks from your iPod library. Some of the unique features of Soundscape are as follows:

- 3 different visualization modes. Double tap the center of the screen to switch between them.

- Double touch the screen to display the options menu. For best results, use the microphone sensitivity bar to get rid of unwanted sounds.

- The music player will play the songs in your current playlist. When it reaches the end of your playlist it will begin at the start of your entire music library.

- Built in Byron Bay using OpenFrameworks.

Do not use headphones while using Soundscape as the microphone will not be able to pick up the sounds of the music. The generation of the background "scapes" are dependent on the music coming through the speakers. Enjoy vibrant colors and a myriad of transforming shapes as your music plays in this music and design app.

COOL CONCLUSION: "Soundscape is visually appealing and entrancing as the designs blossom and change before your eyes to the beat of the music."

Fun Stuff - Word of The Day: truncate - To shorten by cutting the end off. An example of this in computer terms would be the rounding of floating-point numbers, such as a program may "truncate" the value of pi (3.14159265&) to 3.14. Notice that truncation will always round the number down. The number 1.5999 becomes 1.5, never 1.6.

RPost Registered EMail Services

Developer Quote: "Prove, Sign, Encrypt. Work Faster. Cut Cost. Go Paperless."

- COST: Free     - RATING: N/A Stars (App Store)
- Categories: Business, Communications, Email, Lifestyle, Native

Nowadays, a majority of critical business transactions take place electronically. We are a world trying to go green, and one of the best ways to do so is in doing away with paper transactions. You can use RPost Registered Email Services to conduct your business email securely online. Some of the features of this email business app are as follows:

- Obtain e-signatures on contracts.
- Prove who said what to whom and when, by email.
- Prove delivery of time-dependent email notices.
- Ensure privacy with email encryption.
- Store and manage important PDF files

Additionally, some services included are:

- Registered Email Service: Standard email leaves you exposed to disputes and challenges around who said what, to whom and when. Registered Email messages return a certified email record of delivery, content and official time that can serve as court-admissible, irrefutable proof of your email correspondence.

- Electronic Signature: Use your finger to sign contracts on screen, time-stamp, and render the contract tamper detectable for valid legal records of contract signature, time of signing, and content.

- Send for Signature: Send contracts attached to email for recipient signoff. Obtain recipient’s handwritten, mouse-scripted electronic signature on your contract for valid legal records of contract execution.

- Encrypt: Send messages and documents encrypted for extra privacy, end-to-end.

This is about as secure and convenient as it gets. If you didn't know, RPost’s core Registered E-mail® service provides the sender legally valid and court-admissible evidence of e-mail correspondence occurring from the sender’s desktop e-mail to the recipient. RPost returns to the sender in the form of a verifiable Registered Receipt™ e-mail, evidence of official time sent and received as well as content (message body and attachments) of any e-mail, without requiring the recipient to download any software, click links, or visit special websites to open and read messages. RPost customers use Registered Email services as a lower cost and more effective alternative to receipt-mail, overnight letter courier, postal service certified/registered mail, fax, and email. This just about sums up what every company or business should utilize in their everyday communications.

COOL CONCLUSION: "Use RPost Email Services to competently take care of your communication and business needs so at the end of the day you have peace of mind in secure transactions!"

--Date/Version: Released 1/22/11 - Version 1.1
