Heute wollen wir Euch unsere neue iPhone App vorstellen. Im Apple App Store gibt es bereits einige Quiz zum Thema Musik, allerdings greifen sie primär auf die eigene Musiksammlung zurück und generieren daraus Fragen. Eine schöne, unterhaltsame Sache, aber was, wenn man mehr möchte? Fragen, die über den eigenen Horizont hinaus gehen; die tiefer gehen als die bekannten Standardfragen.

Mit dem Ziel ein anspruchsvolles Musikquiz zu konzipieren, haben wir uns zusammengesetzt und Music Master entwickelt. Ein Musikquiz, das auch Musikexperten ins Grübeln bringt und durch Fragen aus den Genres Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop, Klassik und Jazz eine hohe Abwechslung bietet.

Die App gibt es ab sofort für iPhone und iPod touch im App Store zum Download: Music Master (iTunes-Link)

Wir wünsche Euch viel Spaß beim Raten und sind gespannt wer als erstes die Diamantene Schallplatte gewinnt.

Skype finally released version 2.8 of its VoIP client for Mac OS X. Besides many bugfixes and the now enabled public WiFi access, we are excited about the screen sharing feature.

Now it’s even easier to go over presentations, concepts, mind maps and other documents together while having a conference call via Skype.
