Regular Rate and Rhythm Software today announced Rowmote Pro 2.2 for iPhone and iPod Touch, a major update to their complete remote control solution for Mac OS X and Apple TV. Rowmote Pro emulates the Apple hardware remote control, providing application-specific controls through a consistent interface, while featuring a multitouch trackpad and keyboard.

Rowmote Pro controls and switches between over twenty popular applications, from music applications like iTunes and PandoraBoy to video players such as DVD Player, Hulu Desktop, Plex, and Front Row, to presentation tools such as Microsoft Powerpoint and Apple Keynote, precisely as the Apple hardware remote would. The version 2.2 release adds Movst, OpenOffice Impress, and PandoraBoy to its repertoire.

Unlike other iPhone and iPod Touch remote control apps, Rowmote Pro emulates Apple’s hardware remote control so holding down buttons on the remote perform the correct, application-specific function. This is especially vital in the popular multimedia management application Plex, in which Rowmote can access needed contextual menus other apps can’t.

In addition, Rowmote Pro allows complete control over the Mac with its trackpad and optional keyboard. It supports landscape full-screen mode, two finger scrolling and right clicking, dragging, and accented and international characters, over any number of connected screens and TVs. These remote control facilities have been enhanced with the 2.2 release to feature all Mac function keys and arrow keys for complete keyboard support.

Rowmote Pro evolved from Rowmote for iPhone and iPod Touch, which offers the same features except without keyboard and mouse support. New features are added regularly to Rowmote Pro based on both the developer’s roadmap and popular requests.

Unleash your inner astronaut — with your iPhone and the stargazing app Distant Suns!

On October 23rd through 25th, amateur astronomers worldwide will bring their telescopes to public parks and sidewalks to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s telescope and his celestial discoveries.

Now you can use your iPhone to gaze skyward and identify the stars and planets in the nighttime sky.

The iPhone app Distant Suns uses the compass on the new iPhone 3GS to identify the planets, constellations, over a hundred galaxies and star clusters, and thousands of stars.

“Distant Suns gives users a faithful reproduction of the sky now or in the future or even back in Galileo’s time,” explains Distant Suns inventor Mike Smithwick. “On Galilean Nights you’ll see just how far we’ve come since Galileo first aimed his handmade telescope toward the heavens 400 years ago. An event which quite literally changed the world.”

Distant Suns can be purchased at the Apple AppStore

Some of the most popular functions currently available on usps.com are now available on cell phones and other mobile devices. The new features include Track & Confirm, Post Office locator, and the most popular application, ZIP Code lookup.

With more than 232 million mobile communications devices in the United States — a growing number of which can access the web — the promise of internet access from virtually anywhere in the country is fast becoming a reality.

“Our new mobile capability makes USPS services even more convenient for our customers,” said Robert Bernstock, president, Mailing and Shipping Services.

Any mobile user with web access will be able to log on to the Postal Service mobile site no matter where they are, without having to use a personal computer, Bernstock said.

“If they’re on the road, they’ll be able to use the Post Office locator function to find a Post Office that’s close to them. And they’ll also be able to track and confirm delivery of their mail or packages using their mobile phone,” he said.

The Postal Service is also designing applications for “smartphones” and other mobile devices like the Apple iPhone, BlackBerry and iPod Touch which take advantage of additional capabilities, such as GPS.

Mobile applications make it easier for customers to interact and transact business with the Postal Service. These applications are the latest in a series of enhancements, upgrades and solutions designed for Postal Service customers.

They also get Heidi’s weekly updates on what baby’s up to development wise (week 18, twisting and rolling, week 26, opening his eyes), weekly illustrations of their growing fetus, and the opportunity to upload photos of their burgeoning bellies and turn the photos into slide shows to share with their families and friends.

“If you’re expecting these days, you’re probably busier than ever – between work, those doctor’s appointments, that layette shopping, and more. Yet you still want to keep every possible pregnancy resource at your fingertips – and keep track of and share every moment of life’s most incredible experience. Now you can!” explains Heidi Murkoff.

“Heidi’s What to Expect brand, which includes the bestselling series of pregnancy and parenting books and a phenomenally successful Web site, is the best-loved and most trusted resource for parents-to-be worldwide – providing the reassuring, empathetic, and accurate information that they crave,” says Ben Wolin, CEO, co-founder of Waterfront Media, and new dad. “The What to Expect Pregnancy Tracker iPhone app gives expecting moms and dads the ability to access that invaluable information – along with a variety of innovative, interactive, and personalized tools – wherever they are.
