• Shazam. Hold your iPhone up to a radio or TV that’s playing some pop
song. Marvel as Shazam identifies the song, the band, and the album,
and offers a one-tap way to buy it from iTunes. (Midomi is similar, except
that you can actually hum or say the lyrics of a song to have it identified.
Works most of the time.)
• Super MonkeyBall, Cro-Mag Rally… A lot of iPhone games rely on the
accelerometer (tilt sensor). That is, you tip and turn the whole phone to
guide your monkey/race car/whatever through the course.
If you’re wondering where you change an iPhone app’s settings, consider backing
out to the Home screen and then tapping Settings. Believe it or not, Apple
encourages programmers to add their programs’ settings here, at the bottom of
the iPhone’s own Settings screen.
Some programmers ignore the advice and build the settings right into their apps,
where they’re a little easier to find. But if you don’t see them there, now you know
where else to look.
