iPhoneize your website instantly with Intersquash

By Julian in iphone, Launched, Startups with 1 Comment

Fellow blogger and developer Jon Wheatly, recently let wild a quirky little tool called Intersquash. The neat little app let’s you convert the rss feed of any website into an iPhone/iTouch site instantly. After you enter the feed, and upload a 57×57 pixel thumbnail of your homepage you’re presented with a complete working iPhone version of your website.

Jon explains the simple four step process in the video below:

iPhone MySpace app

By Jon in Development, iphone with 2 Comments

Software developer Jake Marsh has been working hard on an iPhone version of popular social networking website, MySpace.

The application hasn’t launched yet but from the demos he has posted it looks like it scratches a much needed itch for many myspace users. Jake says that when the app is complete it will have more or less the feature list as its big brother.

Currently heavily based off the popular facebook iPhone application, Jake is currently looking for a designer to help tweak the interface. (If you’re an interested designer his email address is posted on his sites about page).

One of the more exciting features of the app is the way it will handle streamed music on “band pages”. Unfortunately due to the current iPhone flash limitations and the way myspace uses flash to stream files, there needed to be some kind of work around. Jake is currently working on a way of pulling the music file location and including the direct link on the profile page. With it being an iPhone users will then be able to download the .mp3 straight to their music player.

According to Jake, after playing around with the myspace API he decided that it “wasn’t so great” so this app runs completely from scraping the content from myspace. Let’s hope myspace doesn’t mind.

Below is a video that shows the application in action.
