It’s friday, so it is the perfect moment to release another update to Quiet Read. The new release is localized into French, and works better with Opera.

Quiet Read 1.1 is available. The release notes are very short:

Quiet Read is available in:

1. German.
2. Italian.
3. Japanese.
4. Korean.
5. Spanish.

Please contact us if you want to translate Quiet Read into your language.

I would like to localize Quiet Read at least into French, German, Italian and Spanish. Spanish is not a problem, being spanish myself, but if any of you has some free time to translate about a dozen of text strings into you language (given that your language is French, German, Italian, or even if it is any other), please email support@bambooapps.com

Thanks in advance!

FNDMobile, the black and white development database and clock for the iPhone, has been updated.

This is going to be the last “english-only” version. A Spanish localization has been uploaded to the AppStore and is waiting for approval, and we are working on the German localization as well.

If you want to see FNDMobile in your language, please let us know!.

Keep Your Word, the vocabulary and flash cards cataloger and trainer for Mac and iPhone has just been updated.

The main new features are:

• Audio support.
• Support for declensions.
• New integrated word inspector.
• New document layout configuration sheet.
• More flashcards options

Anyway, these are the release notes.

Now, it’s time to start thinking about KYW 1.5.1

Well, to be honest, this post’s title should be: “two and a half new iPhone apps”. Anyway, here at bambooapps we have been busy not only working on Keep Your Word 1.5 (soon there will be a post about the actual state of our vocabulary and flash cards app for the Mac and the iPhone, and what you could expect for the future), but also in three small utilities for your iPhones.

The first new app, the “half” one, is called iRankings. It lets you create quick rankings: your favourite love songs, the best action movies, your favourite actors… whatever you want. Quick, and easy.

3Points lets you record the performance of your favourite basketball player, using eight different statistics: minutes played, field goals, three points shots, free throws, assistances, offensive and defensive rebounds and steals.

PhotoQuotes brings you 305 quotes by 65 of the greatest photographers ever. Search the quotes, to find the most adequate in every situation. Find suggestions, motivation and encouragement every time you need it. Browse the quotes by author, or let PhotoQuotes show you a random quote. Oh, and try to identify the author of one quote taking the quiz.

Although, this one, in one of the Macworld Spain blogs, is in Spanish.

We are proud to announce the release of Keep Your Word Reader, KYW’s perfect wingman.

Keep Your Word Reader is, well, a reader. That means that you can not add or edit any word on your iPhone. But you can sync your data from the desktop application, and so, search you words, navigate them, and try to memorize them drilling the flash cards.

Not being able to edit words is bad, we know it. And we are working on it. But, after all, Keep Your Word Reader is free!.

That is our way of saying “thanks for buying Keep Your Word”. But you have to be fast, as it is going to be free only until the end of the month. So run, and download your copy.

The release of Keep Your Word Reader brings also a new release of Keep Your Word.

This new release adds a couple of new features (iPhone sync, flash cards printing, more layout options) and some needed bugfixes.

You can see the complete release notes here, but if you want to upgrade, just open KYW and let the application take care of everything.

I have been quite busy lately, trying to roll out some new projects. Let me outline what is going on around here.

• Keep Your Word reader, a Keep Your Word iPhone client, was uploaded to the AppStore a week ago. It has been rejected once, but I hope it will be approved soon.
• There is a new update to Keep Your Word hidden under the bed, waiting for KYWReader to be approved. As soon as the iPhone client is in the AppStore, KYW 1.4.2 will be released. It includes some bug fixes (ooops) and a few new features.
• Last week I updated FNDMobile. I have a new shiny roadmap for that app.
• I am also working on a couple of new iPhone projects. Super secret stuff

FNDMobile has been showing in the “Top paid” of the Photography category of the spanish AppStore for the last week. Which is great.

Anyway, it seems that Spring has come to Hong Kong, which is also great.

I hope to be back soon bringing good news.

My old earphones died recently. Sad story.

Anyway, my point is that I wanted some new earphones for the “sporting self” and a new pair of earphones for the “walking down the street while talking on the iPhone self”.

Here they are, look at them side by side.

I know, the Shennheiser are headphones more than earphones, but anyway, have you noticed the difference in size of both packages?

I couldn’t help but think that I wish my apps where like the iPhone headset package. Smaller, sleeker, much more elegant, but enclosing the same “processing power”, at least, than the other ones.

Now, it is only a question of making my wish come true…
