Gesture controls for Ipod (like slacker)

Not aware of anything to make this happen, but I agree that it's a very intuitive use with the Slacker app. I immediately wondered why Apple wouldn't have thought of this for the native iPod function. It's great!

 

i know this is not what you really want, but check out music controls? its $5 but it works great with the native ipod app, slacker, pandora, and a couple others i believe. good luck.

 

hey, its in cydia, and you have to have a jailbroken phone. it basically acts like ipod controls... (you can change the track in any app and run the music in the background)

try looking for it on youtube and i am sure you will find a video on it, good luck!

 

There is a program exactly for that, it's for jailbroken iPhones/Touch only called "Pocket Touch". However, it doesn't work for 3.0 (Hopefully they update it soon).

Here is a video of it in action though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaWcyt16DtU&feature=related

 

FlickTunes is better. Of course, I'm a bit biased, being the author and all.

Personally I find tap controls like SkipIt's too easy to hit by accident, which is why I went with flick controls. Plus FlickTunes has a nice large album art and song title, unlike SkipIt's tiny display. If you want to read more about FlickTunes you can go to my site here: http://sogeekysoftware.com/

Note that I've also got new features on the way, as soon as Apple approves it. Including the *option* to use tap control for play/pause and new two finger gestures for volume control and 30 second skipping fwd/back.

 

Good news, everyone!

I would like to inform you that Apple has just posted FlickTunes v1.1 which brings a number of new features to the table, making it even more useful:

* TWO FINGER FLICK LEFT: Skip forward 30 seconds.
* TWO FINGER FLICK RIGHT: Skip back 30 seconds.
* TWO FINGER SWIPE UP: Increase volume.
* TWO FINGER SWIPE DOWN: Decrease volume.
* TAP CONTROL SETTING: Allow taps for play/pause.
* SWIPE CONTROL SETTING: Allow swipes for play/pause.
* TWO-FINGER SETTING: Allow two finger controls.

Additionally, v1.2 is complete and now in the review queue, promising these additional features users have been asking for:

* ALLOW LANDSCAPE SETTING: Allow or prevent landscape mode.
* MORE AUTO-LOCK SETTINGS: Allow or prevent auto-lock while playing or paused separately.
* NEW WORKING SCREEN: Now shows a "working" screen while building the initial random shuffle playlist.
