Archive for July 12th, 2008What does the iPhone 3G have to do with the future of social platforms like Facebook and OpenSocial? A lot, actually. It’s because of the iPhone App Store, the add-on to the iTunes Store that opened its doors on Thursday in anticipation of the new device and its iPhone 2.0 software. …  My favorite thing about open platforms that grant third-party developers to run wild is when those independent programmers actually do. Jeffrey Grossman wrote a free native application called Movies.app that revolves around movie listings and offers everything from from a straightforward, yet sophisticated lookup by movie or theater to a crisp, clear preview on the phone.  (Credit: iTunes)Grossman wisely included the other essential information that every moviegoer may want or need, including supporting information on IMDB, a lists of popular movies currently in theaters, and another list of shows coming to theaters soon (first up is Dark Knight). There’s also a way to purchase tickets on the spot through the iPhone brand of Movietickets.com, and complete Google-powered maps and directions. The only things missing are user reviews and stars for theaters with the best popcorn. Note: Movies.app currently provides listings for U.S. theaters only. All users may watch trailers and read up on opening flicks. >>See the latest in iPhone news and App Store reviews.

It’s because of the iPhone App Store, the add-on to the iTunes Store that opened its doors on Thursday in anticipation of the new device and its iPhone 2.0 software. … The standard Lotus Elise S is an enthusiast’s dream automobile. Supercharged power, light weight, and nimble handling make for a compelling toy — one that happens to also pull down 27 mpg highway and over 20 mpg in combined daily driving. It’s almost a perfect combination as is. How do you make even better? You turn it into a green showcase while not diminishing its core attributes in the least.  At the London Motor Show later this month, Lotus will unveil the Eco Elise, a study that demonstrates how the tiny Lotus can be further improved upon, both in terms of performance and sustainability. Thanks to using more sustainable materials and processes in its construction, the Eco Elise boasts a smaller environmental footprint over its entire life cycle than its regular Elise siblings. Water-based paint adorns lightweight, hemp-based composite bodywork. Inside the cabin, “eco-wool” and sisal can be found in the seats and carpeting. Solar panels adorn the roof, supplying power to the car’s accessory systems, and a shift light helps the driver pick the most efficient times to change gears. This all happens in a car that’s around 70 pounds lighter than a stock Elise. Power from its mid-mounted, supercharged four-cylinder engine is undiminished. This means that the “Eco” automobile should outperform the already excellent Elise S, and though Lotus hasn’t announced any numbers, its fuel efficiency should also improve accordingly. No production plans have been announced, and the vehicle currently exists only as this one-off concept for now. That said, everything you see is meant to be doable on an actual production car in the future. The Eco Elise approach, combined with the tri-fuel engine Lotus has been working on, would make for quite a green corner-carver. Bring it on, baby. Just leave that woodgrain-patterned racing stripe off the final menu, please. Alex Nunez’s blog posts are provided by LifeWire, a part of The New York Times Company.
