Play audio from YouTube without video in iPhone

Ever wonder how to play the YouTube songs without the video or display in iPhone. "Yes", it is possible with a little workaround but it works like a charm.

Steps:
1) Play your song or music from YouTube in your iPhone
2) Press the home button (This will pause the audio/video)
3) Press the home button twice quickly (Similar to double click in a computer)
4) You will see the iOS task manager
5) Keep your finger on the task manager section and "Slide from left to right"
6) You will see the Orientation lock, Previous, Play, Next and YouTube icon.
7) Press the play button and listen... :)
8) Only audio will be played and video will be disabled.

Note:
You can press the home button and lock your iphone - the music still goes on.
The above steps works for music, pandora and most music related apps.
Step 2 is little annoying, but this is a workaround. 

Sometimes, I listen to songs/music which are not in my collection. Hence, this saves my battery and it don't look like I'm watching videos during official hours... lol... :)

Swivl - million possibilities for video making

What is Swivl:
    Swivl is a small gadget for the video loggers. It can track the user movement in multi direction (Right - Left & Up - Down). It has a mount and a marker. The mount follows the marker’s movement and aligns itself to keep you in the frame. Your phone’s camera can be controlled using the marker. No external setups are required.

The problem with self made video and video chat is that the cameras are static and it cannot move along with the user. I was amazed with the number of possibilities Swivl opens for self made videos and video chats.

Nowadays all our phones (iPhone & Android) are coming with higher megapixels. And the video quality is really very good and we always carry our phones. Swivl is designed to hold phones, digi-cams and camcorders. Swivl can be mounted on tripods, so the height can be adjusted.

You can watch the video to find out the possibilities. I’m pre-ordering mine, how about you?
