Palm Sounds: July 2011

It's Sunday again, here are a few highlights from the week ...

The end of the week, and the end of July as well, here's a round up from this week.

Yonac release AirVox
VL Tone on Android
Control for Android
iShred Live and Griffin Stompbox
Mixtikl - Deep editing II tutorial
GrainBender
FiRe Studio arrives
Touchproducer on the battle
PixelWave update
Tabletop from Retronyms is released
Loopseque Extra is coming

It was a busy week wasn't it?

Gliss gets a maintenance update, but ...

Whilst this in itself isn't interesting, it is pre-cursor to a much bigger update for Gliss which really will be something to look forward to!

Tabletop - Sampling from turntable

V1 Thingamagoop on eBay (ending in a couple of days)

In case you missed it from before, this Thingamagoop (v1)

is on eBay for £39, which really isn't bad as new from Bleep Labs these were around £100+ and then you had to get them in from the US which wasn't cheap either.

Worth a look?

People want a cheap Amazon tablet

According to Retrevo consumers most important feature of a (non-Apple) tablet, is price:

No matter how much chatter surrounds the rumored Android-based Amazon tablet, the company won't reveal any details. But according to Retrevo, Amazon leads the pack among manufacturers, excluding Apple, from whom potential customers would "seriously consider buying a tablet." And which tablet feature matters to consumers most? The price.

I think that this is a really massive opportunity for Amazon to open the market if they do bring out an Android tablet this autumn. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do come up with.

Retro App of the Day: Pheonix Studio for Pocket PC

We mentioned this old app on the podcast in episode 3 and it's been on my mind ever since. It was, and in many ways still is a really good application, especially considering it is over 7 years old now.

If you have an old pocket PC you might want to try it out. If you're interested in it, you can still get it here.
