iKeywi is now on the App store. Probably as close as you'll get.

iKeyWi is the #1 reason I'm not thinking twice about ignoring ios8. The jailbreak implementation (iKeywi 2) is one of the finest creations on earth.

e: Reviews of the non-jb version don't seem all that great but for 99c I'm sure you can afford to tell us what it's like!

Is there any keyboard with similar functionality to the jailbreak tweak swipe selection? The apple loupe is really tedious for making minor corrections and moving the text cursor around.

Nope. You're stuck with that dumb idea of a function until you jailbreak again.

Are there any media players for IOS that are capable of streaming music and video from a Windows PC/Networked HDD/whatever (like Avia Media Player and others for Android) to my ipod without having to install some sketchy RemoteGateway service?

AirPlayerHD CineXPlayer NPlayer OPlayer XBMC the list goes on and on and on (but those are the good ones). There is good media poo poo out there and none of it includes the need to install crap on your computer.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, and don't get me wrong, I wasn't knocking Plex, it looks pretty good. Also, what I meant by remote gateway is some of these media programs on ios require you to install a piece of software on your PC that acts as an interface/gobetween, and is required to be running for the media player in question to connect to the PC. I'm just used to being able to right-click a folder, hit share and make it network accessible without any other tomfuckery.

I'll give all of the suggestions a good look.

Ah hey, I hope I'm not too late on this. I included cinexplayer because someone was shouting it at me but it was in regards to DTS support. It doesn't have smb sharing support so don't waste your money on it if that's your key feature.

Anybody know of a good to-do app that supports handwriting? This is all I could find and the dev has a dead website but I might try it for 3$. https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/manage-handwriting-to-do-task/id384312640?mt=8

Oh man, google just shat all over every single premium vnc business.

I'll try to put this thing through its paces tonight. I don't buy that it's as good as splashtop just yet. Splashtop isn't great because of the fidelity, it's the control schemes they offer.

Well slick is right but it lacks. If you're down with Splashtop's controls, you won't find that here and you'll want to stick with that. The lack of a right click in touch mode precludes it from all two of the mouse-driven pc games I play with it.

It's really good, otherwise. And free.

Does it require an Internet connection on both devices for handshake like Splashtop?

Yes, it does. There's no obvious way (and I only skimmed through their help section so I didn't see any way) to connect directly to an ip or 'advertised' machine over a local network.


Michael Scott posted:

Does it have anything over TeamViewer? TeamViewer is the poo poo.


Nope, TeamViewer's free version is excellent, better than VNC, and you don't need to know the IP of devices on your account. Seems that Google's installation is a little simpler though, and most people already have Chrome.

Teamviewer is exactly like CRD just crappy in its own ways. They're both free though so play with both to your liking. Also, a direct IP connection is a plus, not a negative.

Splashtop and premium VNC are still worth the money, imo. The fidelity and especially the control options for a touch screen blow everything else out of the water.

Ever since the last update I can't use hangouts in landscape mode. Hitting backspace starts activating the swipe to start phone call mechanism. (???) That made me laugh. It works fine in portrait though.




Endless Mike posted:

I've never had that happen and I don't see how Hangouts, a protocol in Gmail, which, as far as I can tell, is the most ubiquitous free email is somehow a special snowflake chat app. It's not like they're asking you to use, I dunno, Kik or something. Why don't you just text like a normal human being?

Yeesh hardcore history was a horrible example to use to sell smart speed. That show IS performance art (please don't admit to us publicly that you use it as a learning source). Dan knows exactly what he's doing when it comes to his dramatic beats and volume control. Editing that for him is not cool and kind of disrespectful to his craft - which is he drat good at.

You're free to do whatever you want, of course.

For me, Downcast's playlist control is what wins me. It's really robust and has awesome dynamic playlist controls. There's a couple of shows I'm sure I'd use smart speed on but the rest of the app is a no-sell for me.
