The best way to discover New York for tourist and New Yorkers alike.

Presenting UpNext NYC 3D!



Impressive amount of information, and the best thing is, it requires NO NETWORK connection! You can easily use this while using the NYC subway (no network down in those tubes!). Search for ANYTHING! I've looked through results for the places I'm going to shop, and it spits them out nicely.

You can even try the web version by going to www.upnext.com .Impressive representation in 3D!

At the time of the writing of this post, Beejive is having massive problems logging into Yahoo Messenger. The problem may be restricted to Malaysian users only, from the reports from other members here. IM+, even the Lite version has no problems accessing your YM. Be warned.

Then they should have just stuck with the old protocol, even if without push for Yahoo. FYI, IM+ works without push, and it works fine. they could have just disabled push for Yahoo on Beejive, stick with a working protocol, and leave it at that. The other services like MSN, etc., can have their push notification enabled.

The Nearest Tube Augmented Reality App by AcrossAir. So far only available for UK, I hope they make this for NY especially, and as apps like this becomes more popular, the Malaysian rail transit as well.

Another awesome app after that Augmented Reality app, presenting Prowl!

Typical enterprising Malaysian. If only you directed your entrepreneural skills towards a more legal and correct product or endeavours.

I have both Shazam and Soundhound(previously called Midomi), and my preference have changed in the period I'm using them since their introduction.

Shazam was previously better than Midomi(now Soundhound) with the song recognition much better on Midomi. After Midomi changed themselves to Soundhound, their song recognition algorithm improved tremendously, now it has surpassed Shazam. One of the best features Soundhound has over Shazam is the features that allows you to sing or even just hum the song you have been playing in your mind, or that niggling song that you cannot get the title of that has been playing over and over in your mind, and Soundhound will match it, more often than not, correctly!

The interface is much more refined on Soundhound than Shazam too.

Beejive by the longest shot. The layout and ease of use beats the rest. FYI, I have all three, and the other two apps are uninstalled and left out of my iPad.

I have that both on the iPhone and iPad, well worth it even when it was a paid app. Now that it is free, everyone can enjoy it! Another useful RSS reader app is The Early Edition, although at USD4.99 it may tough to swallow for everyone. I use that instead of reading newspapers these days, with RSS feeds fed into the app, turning it into a news reader, much like reading a newspaper. The interface even mimics reading a newspaper. Instapaper is another good option.
