If you have an iPhone and received a text from another iPhone and it had some really awesome emoticons and not just the boring 
Well it just so happens Way2Hype is going to get you all fixed up… for FREE!! Below is a screenshot of some EMOJI icons.
* Gmail is supposedly starting to support Emoji. I have yet to have success. However, Emoji icons are available throught the iPhone’s OS (operating system). In non-geek talk you can use these icons anywhere the keyboard pops up i.e. Notes, Contacts. Warning once you try to sync or share data outside the iPhone’s OS the Emoji icons will probably be corrupted.
Ok so I won’t go into detail about the whole background of Emoji, here is the first part from the Wiki post to give you a basic idea:
“Emoji (絵文字?) is the Japanese term for the picture characters or emoticons used in Japanese wireless messages and webpages. Originally meaning pictograph, the word literally means e “picture” + moji “letter”. If you are interested in reading more here is the Wiki link – EMOJI
Now to the meat and potatoes of this post! Just follow the few simple steps listed below and you’ll be rocking out with your Emoji out! Read more »

It allows you to share your location, contacts, pictures, audio notes, and text messages. Best part is that anything sent through WhatsApp doesn’t count against your text or multimedia quota!! Another luxury within the app is that you can actually see if a message is un-opened or opened by either a single or double green checkmark!

Restore your iTunes library from your iPhone
So most people know how to restore their iPhone from their computer, but with this sweet new program from The Little App Factory does the inverse. So if you got a new computer or your iTunes library randomly blew up you can just hook up your iPhone or iOS device and voila! All is right again in the world My favorite part of iRip is that it transfers my songs ratings, playcounts, and other metadata! This is a huge deal to me because I rate all my music and I don’t want to have the mental taxation of rating 3000 songs!
What can iRip transfer from your iPhone or iPod?
iRip can transfer pretty much everything to your computer:
- videos
- podcasts
- ringtones
- books
- photos
- contacts
- texts
Not only can you transfer music using an autorecovery mode, but you can also browse, preview, and play your music if you want to be more selective and not transfer over your Rick Astley collection. Read more »
The Mothership has landed – Apple’s new HQ
So for all the fan guys/girls out there. The latest development (no pun intended) with the company is their state of art headquarters they plan on building in Cupertino. Before I get into the specifics one of the coolest things to me personally is for Steve Jobs who worked for HP is now building on the land that once housed the Hewlett & Packard complex. What a cool and validating feeling that must be to buy up the land and build your company’s headquarters (Apple is now the most valuable company in the world passing Google this year) on your childhood idol’s old headquarters…very cool!
Ok on to the highlights! This massive facility will be able to house a little over 12,000 employees in one building! This new HQ will be totally circular! Ask anyone in architecture how much harder and expensive it is to build something with no corners. If you don’t know anyone I can tell you its very, very hard and very, very expensive! Read more »
iPhone Tip: Easily Share Your Contact Card and Location
No real witty intro here other than Dexter Season 4 was legit. Ok so on to the article. Recently, I was at a friendly gathering having a few cocktails with my boys getting cheated out of Dice wins cough Quebb cough (and no not Tron Carter dice, its a drinking game) when I suddenly realized that a couple my friends had the new iPhone 4 (color me jealous). So me being the chaty kathy I am (is it with a c or k), exchanged info with them: name, number, website, address, email, birthday, facebook url and even facebook pic as my contact picture. I know Nation of Hypeness you are probably thinking to yourself, when I am at a friendly gathering I am not trying to get a person’s life story its takes too long, I am trying to get on that Flabongo. Well me too, but it just so happens that with a few touches and 1 person sending another person a contact all this can be accomplished in seconds. Let me put it different terms, more information and more time for Flabongos, its a win win!
Remote iPhone App turns iPhone into Digital Jukebox
Don’t you hate when you get to a party and the music sucks! I know I do, but seeing that I hosted many parties during collegiate years I realized people will always complain about the music! However, I have the secret weapon to silence the pissing and moaning of these house guests! The Remote App allows you to control your music library thru your wireless network. The best part of the Remote App is a feature called iTunes DJ, which allows guests to request songs and vote for songs! Its pretty legit, but to much to write about so I decided to make a video. Be gentle this was my first video and the quality isn’t very hype, but remember the first time you had sex, it wasn’t all that great either (TMI?).
UPDATE: New Video, way better quality. It’s pretty epic check it out
Instantly translate Spanish to English with WordLens iPhone App
If you are a big traveler to Spanish speaking countries or a Spanish speaking traveler to English speaking countries this app is a must have! What WordLens does it is uses OCR (optical character recognition) and translates words on the fly. For example, if you don’t know any Spanish and you see a sign that says banos and an arrow, fire up WordLens and it will automagically translate it into bathrooms! This is the perfect travel app and is free! However, it really actually costs $4.99 for the English to Spanish Translate Add-On and $4.99 for the Spanish to English Add-On. Don’t let this hefty price tag deter you though! I love this app and it works pretty decent seeing it translates on the fly! The future seems bright in this genre and Quest Visual, the makers of the app, are working hard to add other languages other than Spanish and English!
The best part is you don’t even need a data connection for the app to work! Muy Bueno! Check out the video below for a more in-depth look! Read more »
