Pocket Heat app uses iPhone CPU to warm hands
Pocket Heat app uses iPhone CPU to warm hands
If there were a "What the heck!" category in the iTunes App Store, Pocket Heat (available for $1.99) would live there.Pocket Heat turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into a portable heater by maxing out your iPhone CPU's processing power. You can adjust the heat level by using an onscreen slider, which claims to alter the temperature and illuminates graphical "heating elements" on your display.HAL Apps LLCWe would test this app, but frankly, we're afraid to. While the iPhone includes safeguards to prevent serious overheating, Apple has previously issued a heat advisory for the iPhone 3GS. Apple's own Knowledge Base states that the iPhone should be operated in a place where the temperature is between 32 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit--prolonged exposure to extreme heat will produce a temperature warning screen. Given speculation that overheating may also be the cause of previously reported problems with the Wi-Fi on the iPhone and mixed App Store reviews(comments range from IceCold's, "What joke, doesn't get warm!!!!!!" to Adam_13's statement "Decent but kills battery."), we say thanks, but no thanks. We'll just stick to gloves, jackets, and fuzzy hats.

iHome fires first shot in AirPlay speaker wars
iHome fires first shot in AirPlay speaker wars
Just as wireless Bluetooth speakers are starting to get some love from the surge of iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch users over the past few years, Apple's new AirPlay wireless audio standard is setting out to make them obsolete. Apple's own description page for its AirPlay technology (a part of iOS 4.2 and Apple TV) specifically mentions compatibility with the Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin and upcoming Denon and Marantz receivers, but leaves out specifics on anything portable or affordable. Fortunately, iHome seems to have a solution for the rest of us.The iHome iW1 is the company's first AirPlay-compatible system. It's also the first we've seen announced from any manufacturer that offers a built-in rechargeable battery for portability. Today, the iHome iW1 product page includes new tantalizing details and photos, detailing its unique charging base, a capacitive touch control strip at the top, Bongiovi acoustic design and audio enhancement DSP, Class-D amplification, and support for an external charging dock for an iPhone, iPod, or iPad.Predictably, the two most important details (pricing and availability) are still unknown. Pricing on iHome products is typically very reasonable, though, and we think its fair to say they would be pretty upset if the iW1 misses the holiday buying frenzy.Also, is it just me, or does the iW1 look like the spitting image of the ill-fated Sony S-AIR wireless speaker system?

How to enable cellular playback for iTunes Match
How to enable cellular playback for iTunes Match
If you subscribed to iTunes Match and got the service set up and running on an iOS device, there might be one more step required before you find yourself rocking out from the cloud. Yesterday, I gotiTunes Match set up, but I did so while all my devices were on my home Wi-Fi network. Today, I ventured to my local bagel shop and tried connecting to iTunes Match from my iPhone. When I tapped on a track to begin playing an album, I received an abrupt message: Cannot Play. It instructed me to connect to Wi-Fi network or enable cellular playback in Settings. Enable cellular playback? This was not a setting with which I was familiar.Go to Settings > Store to turn on the Use Celluar Data settingMatt Elliott/CNETHere's where to find the setting: go to Settings > Store and then turn the slider on for Use Cellular Data. Now, you'll be able to download and play songs from iTunes Match on your iPhone when you stray from a Wi-Fi network. Grabbing songs over your iPhone's 3G connection will count against your monthly plan, so proceed with caution. Remember, songs are downloaded and not streamed to your iPhone, so if you are up against your data limit, it might be a good idea to download an album or two over a Wi-Fi connection before you leave the house. Then, you can play the locally stored copies without adding to your data usage.
