Although Siri originally appeared in the App Store in early 2010 before being acquired by Apple, the assumption was that the new version integrated into iOS 5 relied on the faster processor found in the iPhone 4S for Siri to work her voice recognition magic. Developer Steven Troughton-Smith and Grant Paul have proven that is not the case by not only getting Siri working on an iPhone 4, but also an iPod touch 4G. <a href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/siri-on-iphone-4/20337/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/mobiletechnology/" style="float: left; ">MOBILE TECHNOLOGY</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/problems-updating-to-ios-5/20151/">Problems updating to iOS 5?

Frequently going to get one’s blood pressure measured at a pharmacy or clinic, however, can be a hassle. Well, to paraphrase an advertising slogan, “there’s an app for that” – along with a device. The iHealth Blood Pressure Monitoring System for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad consists of a blood pressure arm cuff wired to a portable dock, along with the free iHealth app, which users run on their chosen iDevice to keep track of their systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. They will also soon be able to throw their weight data into the mix, with the iHealth Scale. <a href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/ihealth-blood-pressure-and-weight-tracking/19729/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/aroundthehome/" style="float: left; ">AROUND THE HOME</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/izon-live-stream-remote-monitor-iphone/19727/">App-based remote room monitoring system for iPad and iPhone</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/author/paul-ridden/">Paul Ridden</a></p> <p><em>06:59 September 5, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="/web/20111108194642im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/izon-live-stream-remote-monitor-iphone/19727/picture/141650/">5 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/izon-live-stream-remote-monitor-iphone/19727/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111108194642im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/izoncamera.png" title="Stem Innovation has developed a secure remote monitoring camera system capable of live str..." alt="Stem Innovation has developed a secure remote monitoring camera system capable of live str..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>When I lived in what is generally described as an unsavory neighborhood, I had a device installed which would ring my mobile phone if the alarm sounded. Technology has moved on a tad since then with home monitoring options like this one from Florida-based Stem Innovation. The company has developed an app-controlled video camera called the iZON Remote Room Monitor that streams live video and audio to your iOS device when movement or sound is detected at home. The system can even send the recording direct to a private YouTube account for safe-keeping or sharing. <a href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/izon-live-stream-remote-monitor-iphone/19727/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/music/" style="float: left; ">MUSIC</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/idj-live-portable-idevice-dj-rig/19564/">iDJ Live uses iDevices in portable DJ rig</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></p> <p><em>15:08 August 18, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="/web/20111108194642im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/idj-live-portable-idevice-dj-rig/19564/picture/140299/">3 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/idj-live-portable-idevice-dj-rig/19564/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111108194642im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/idjlive.jpg" title="iDJ Live is a portable one-piece DJ rig, that incorporates the user's iDevice for live mus..." alt="iDJ Live is a portable one-piece DJ rig, that incorporates the user's iDevice for live mus..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Perhaps you’ve entertained the idea of becoming a dance club DJ, but were intimidated by the thought of those expensive turntables and mixers, not to mention the logistics of lugging them around, along with stacks of LPs and/or CDs.

Now, iDevice users can turn their rhythmic creations into real-time drum sounds, courtesy of the TableDrum app from Sweden's Dohi Entertainment. Rather than have virtual drummers tap out the beat on touchscreen icons, this app uses the device's microphone to pick out individual sounds made by thrumping on different surfaces, and allows the user to assign them to the various parts of a drum kit. <a href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/tabledrum-transforms-tapping-into-drum-sounds/19538/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/mobiletechnology/" style="float: left; ">MOBILE TECHNOLOGY</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/skyfire-videoq/19379/">Skyfire’s VideoQ standalone Flash video player for iOS devices </a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>23:19 July 28, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="/web/20111108194642im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/skyfire-videoq/19379/picture/138870/">2 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111108194642/http://www.gizmag.com/skyfire-videoq/19379/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111108194642im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/videoq.jpg" title="Skyfire's VideoQ app allows Flash video to be viewed on iOS devices" alt="Skyfire's VideoQ app allows Flash video to be viewed on iOS devices"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>While a lot of online video has made the move to HTML 5, there are still plenty of Flash videos floating around that leave iDevice users with a “Please Upgrade Flash” message on their displays.
