We promised you news this week, and here it is! Celeste is slated for release on March 22nd. Mark your calendars! This is it guys, only a few more days to go.
We’ve already given out 15 free copies, and we’re going to be giving out another 10 over the next few days to people who help spread the word about the upcoming release.
Tell your friends, get creative, make a cool graphic, a short YouTube video, a funny slogan – anything goes. The best entries will make it into a video compilation that will go up on our YouTube page.
And we’ve upped the stakes this time. The lucky winner of this contest will also, in addition to Celeste, win lifetime access to all CocoaNut apps!
Competition deadline: March 20th, 11:59PM GMT Location:http://goo.gl/3LXqr Up to 5 entries per contestant (Only 1 in each category please! So make sure its your best work!)
Winners will be chosen via a public poll. Voting will begin once the submission window closes.
We set up a dedicated website for Celeste. Bookmark it and check back every once in a while, you might find something you like
So.. its been a while. You might be wondering what we’ve been up to over the past 6 months since we first showed that teaser screenshot of Celeste.
Well, we’re happy to announce that Celeste is ready for release, we’re putting it through some extensive testing here at CocoaNuts “labs” and it’ll be up on the Cydia store sometime next week!
We ran a contest on twitter yesterday to see if anyone could guess what kind of features we’ve been working on. We had 6 lucky winners who will get free copies of Celeste, so congrats to @Elagdar, @coolalien10, @Ntrenta, @NovaTornado, @TarekD_, and @iDarkman!
We hinted at a secret we’d be announcing on our blog today, its one of the many breakthroughs we’ve made here at CocoaNuts as we’ve been working on the Celeste user experience. For the first time ever in the history of the iPhone, with the upcoming release of Gremlin, you will be able to sync downloaded songs and videos back to iTunes! And because Celeste comes with Gremlin for free, that means any songs and videos you receive over Bluetooth will act exactly as if you’d bought them from the iTunes store. We’re really excited about this!
If you own YourTube or YourTube HD, this means you will also be able to sync back downloaded YouTube videos to watch them on your Mac or PC. The next YourTube update will feature an audio export feature if you want to keep the audio and throw away the video.
So it’s been a helluva ride, we’re really close to finally bringing proper Bluetooth integration into iOS, the missing feature we’ve been waiting for since the summer of 2007. Stay tuned for announcements regarding pricing and a release date, and follow us on twitter @cocoanutapps
Oh and! We’re running another contest today, this one will run a little longer than the last one to give more people a chance to take part. All you need to do is visit and fill in the formhere. If you pick the right lucky number, you get to win 2 free copies of any CocoaNut apps of your choice (yes, that includes Celeste!). We have no limit on the number of winners, so spread the word and don’t be greedy ;P
Ever wake up with an inbox full of Facebook emails? Annoyed by newsletters you’re not going to read anyway? Going through all of them just to get rid of the red badge just takes too much time. This is why we invented Mark Read, an easy way to mark either your entire inbox or just the emails you want as read/unread, right within Mail.app.
Just tap ‘Edit’ in your mailbox, select the mails you want to mark as read/unread and tap ‘Mark’ in the upper left corner. If you want to mark the entire mailbox as read/unread, tap ‘Mark All’.
Available for $1.99 on the Cydia Store. Mark Read is another brilliant tweak for your iOS device from the crack team of tweakologists at CocoaNuts. Enjoy!
Free yourself from Google’s death-grip on your videos. Do you really want to spend your precious data allowance each time you wanna show a funny clip to your friends? Do you really want to be stuck watching crappy low-res versions of videos on your shiny new iPhone4 just because you’re on 3G? You’re on your iPod but there’s no WiFi anywhere, if only you could have downloaded that clip when you did have WiFi. YourTube helps you free your iPhone and iPod from these problems, download clips to your heart’s content, watch them whenever, wherever – don’t let Apple, Google or AT&T control your life.
