CallTrack Plots Your Calls on a Google Calendar. [Downloads]

Source: http://lifehacker.com/5510164/calltrack-plots-your-calls-on-a-google-calendar

Android: Google Voice tracks all your calls in a searchable list. If you can't get down with Voice, or want even more convenient tracking, CallTrack plots all your calls, or just particular calls, on a Google Calendar of your choosing.

The app itself consists of nothing more than a few settings, to choose which types of calls (incoming, outgoing, or missed) should be recorded, and which calendar to write to. I set up a new calendar ("Calls," because I'm creative), then headed to the Calendar app and made sure it was selected in the My Calendars settings. From then on, CallTrack could record my calls to that calendar, and I could dump my existing call log into the calendar, if I had a backlog that I deemed important. Having a day-by-day record of your phone activity, and the length of each call, can certainly help out those tracking their time and expenses for work, and help out anyone who's experiencing an odd memory lapse.

CallTrack is a free download for Android phones. Thanks for the tip, bradmann!

The Multi-Touch Office [Featured Workspace]

Source: http://lifehacker.com/5510841/the-multi+touch-office

Today's featured workspace begs one question and one alone: Why settle for a multi-touch enabled tablet when you can have a multi-touch enabled console sporting a 42" screen?

Lifehacker reader kame9031 works at 31FPS, a company specializing in multi-touch interfaces, home automation, and related electronic design. We'd love to say that it's his great office with the plants and multiple monitors that caught our eye, but what really got our attention is the Cyclon—his mammoth 42" multi-touch computer running Max OS X. Unfortunately the great videos on the 31FPS site aren't embeddable so we can't show them off here. You can however check them all out by visiting this link—No really, go visit and see the videos.

If you want to read up on the Cyclon you can visit the 31FPS project page for the build here. Otherwise, check out the photos below of his office to see where the design magic happens.

If you have a workspace of your own to show off, throw the pictures on your Flickr account and add it to the Lifehacker Workspace Show and Tell Pool. Include some details about your setup and why it works for you, and you just might see it featured on the front page of Lifehacker.

How to Turn an iPhone Into a Wireless iPad Camera [IPad Apps]

Source: http://gizmodo.com/5511115/how-to-turn-an-iphone-into-a-wireless-ipad-camera

The iPad doesn't have a built-in camera, but you can give it something better. By putting an app onto each an iPad and an iPhone, you can connect the two via bluetooth and have a wireless camera for your iPad.

All you need to do is download the Camera A and Camera B apps onto your iPad and iPhone respectively—note that Camera A will set you back a buck while Camera B is free. Once you've got the apps on your devices, make sure bluetooth is switched on, and open the apps. Ta da! You'll see everything your iPhone's lens sees on your iPad.

To take a picture you'll tap the camera icon at the bottom of your iPad's screen. A pop up prompt will ask you if you really want to save the photo and that's it, you're done. Oh, and if you want photos to save to both your iPhone and your iPad each time, then you can flip the little toggle switch in the lower right of the screen:

How does this witchcraft work? Based on the fact that I just saw my iPhone lock screen twice moments ago, I'd say that the apps are allowing your iPad to mirror your iPhone's display. I guess that means that you could also use this app setup to truly turn your iPad into a gigantic iPhone. [Camera A and Camera B]

Update: Keep in mind that this app will only work with an iPhone 3Gs and not other models.

LG Mini GD880 Phone Has New HTML5-Supporting Phantom Browser [Cellphones]

Source: http://gizmodo.com/5511312/lg-mini-gd880-phone-has-new-html5+supporting-phantom-browser

On sale later this month after first tantalizing us at MWC in February, LG has confirmed the Mini GD880 will support HTML5 in its "Phantom Browser," the first time it's been reeled out by the South Koreans.

They reckon it's much faster and has a more stable internet experience, built using the most recent Webkit standards. Up to 10 browser windows can be open at once, and while it's not running Android a healthy amount of Google's apps are supported in the browser—Latitude, Gmail, Calendar, Maps and Buzz.

Rehashing what we know about the rest of the specs—the HSDPA phone has a 5.0MP camera, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, FM radio, and 3.2-inch display. While it's running LG's S-Class OS (not exactly the best OS we've come across), the specs are little additional features such as Air Sync, which updates all of the phone's data OTA to your PC, and vice versa, make it worth checking out if you're after a "lite" secondary phone I think. On sale later this month, it'll hit Europe first with other countries following soon after. [LG]
