iPod touch. The funnest iPod ever.

Apple's iPod Touch is a Beauty of a Player Short on Battery Life

For all its beauty and functionality, the Touch has some quirks and downsides. It’s the first iPod model I’ve ever tested that fell significantly short, in my tests, of Apple’s battery-life claims. It’s also the first iPod that lacks any physical buttons for controlling music playback.

StopTilt - Disable Your Storm’s AutoTilt Feature

One thing I cannot stand is how RIM is continuously missing the small things when it comes to building the dream OS for our precious BlackBerrys. For instance, a lot of people have been getting irritated of the Storm’s autotilt feature. Disabling and enabling should be a NATIVE feature in the Storm’s OS but its not.

Fortunately for us, Ajani InfoTech Private Limited have come to the rescue. They have been tinkering with the ability to stop the autotilt. They have appropriately called it StopTilt.

This does exactly what it’s named to do. It stops the Storm from autotilting when you don’t want it to. Simple, right? That’s because it is. StopTilt can be switched on and off separately for each application. For example, you can have it locked in Portrait Mode on the main screen, have it locked in Landscape Mode while you are surfing the mobile net and have it disabled when reading emails. All at the same time!


From the developer:

“If you are tired of Storm auto rotating the screen exactly when you don’t want it to, then this is the perfect solution for you. Lock it!

Now you can use your Storm from the comfort of your bed without having to worry about orientation! Read your emails in portrait mode, or browse websites in landscape mode or whichever way you like.”

I have had my Storm for over a month now and I am in love, although, I have to admit that I have been getting slightly (note: slightly) irritated just like the rest of the Storm community about the autotilt feature. Especially when reading the news on the internet. So I am excited that Ajani InfoTech has come up with this and will continue to use it.

RIM: If you reading this, maybe it’s time to have public betas with your OS’s. It would be a great way to get feedback for applications or features that should be native. Like this one.

Pros: Enable and Disable as user sees fit!

Cons: Battery pulls reset configuration.
