Shazam 1.0,Apple Iphone 3G and SDK Unlock
Shazam is an application that identifies a song just by holding your iPhone in range of the song that is playing. That means when you are in the car, watching a movie, grocery shopping, sitting at the pool, hanging out at Starbucks or where ever you are…if you hear a song that you like but do not know the title of the song or the artist, all you need to do is open Shazam and voilà….it will figure it out for you! I must say, Shazam is quickly becoming one of my favorite App Store applications!

PangeaVR 1.1,Apple Iphone 3G and SDK Unlock
PangeaVR is an application that allows you to view panoramas on the iPhone. If you are not familiar with panoramas, they are 360 degree photos taken with a special camera. When you open the application you will get the main menu screen. There is an upper menu bar with the options Help, Settings and Games. Help and Games will open external browsers bringing to you more info about PangeaVR or to a list of all the iPhone games by Pangea Software, Inc. (Engimo which is Doug’s absolute favorite App Store app and CroMag Rally). The Settings option will give you the option to change the Panorama Orientation between Automatic which would load the photo in which even direction is was created in, Portrait which would load the panoramas in portrait mode or Landscape which would load the panoramas in landscape mode. You are also given the ability to turn on/off Drift and the ability to change the Drag Sensitivity. You will understand both these setting a little more once you have used the application but, I turn the drift off and the sensitivity WAY down. Once you have selected your Setting, tap Done in the upper left corner.
