Swackett

Now available for iPhone: The #1 weather app for the Mac in 67 countries / The only Mac weather app with over 1,250 5-star ratings. 

swackett® is a whole new way to look at the weather. We convert complex weather data to easily-understood, visual weather reports designed for people of every age. Our unique approach is to combine raw weather data (current conditions, radar, and detailed forecasts) with thoughtfully crafted people symbols (called “peeps”) who always appear appropriately dressed for the weather.

If it happens to be cold outside, swackett® peeps appear dressed in winter hats, coats and boots. A hot, sunny day? swackett® peeps appear wearing shorts and sunglasses — and they even remember to bring along drinking water and sunblock. Rain? swackett® peeps appear with rain jackets and an umbrella. This is a fun, fresh and truly useful weather report experience for people of any age.

swackett® does include detailed weather information for the weather junkie (including AccuWeather "real feel" temperatures, humidity, dew point, wind direction and speed, weather timelines, animated satellite and radar imagery) but our forecasts are tailor-made for the time-starved person who needs essential weather information fast.

swackett® weather reports can be viewed by any member of the family, including the very young and very old, those with disabilities — anyone who might be short on time and in need of a quick, easy-to-read weather forecast.

The bottom line: swackett® is the simplest, most easy to understand, most accurate weather forecast available.

iPhone 4S Cases

iPhone 4S cases now available! 

iPhone 4S Cases 

Protect your new iPhone with the best case in the market.

The iPhone 4S is finally here and rest assured we will be one of many standing in line to get it first!

The new iPhone 4S shares the exact same dimensions as the earlier version iPhone 4 purchased after May 2011 so fitment of the Rokbed should be identical.

We do not forsee any performance or fitment issues arising from the use of the Rokbed with the iPhone 4S. Of course we will not know for sure until we thoroughly test the iPhone 4s with the Rokbed case when it arrives.

We will say that you can order with confidence as we here at Rokform stand behind our product and customers 100%.  If you are not completely satisfied with the fit and or performance of your Rokbed, or any Rokform product for that matter, you can return it for a full refund.

Mobile Enrichment From Rokform

Add Distinction to your Device with Rokform’s iPhone Cases 

You just made the great decision to purchase an iPhone device, presenting the opportunity to instantly get information as well as communicate with friends and family members.  All owners receive the same great service from their phone but your phone doesn’t have to look like all the rest.  Rokform presents the chance to make your phone look distinct through the supply of a number of iPhone cases. 

You don’t want your phone to look like others.  You’re an individual.  Prove it by choosing an iPhone cover that showcases your individuality and style.  We have something for everyone.  Whether it’s a particular pattern or color that influences your selection, we have it all right here.  Get unique colors such as Gun Metal, Green, or Gold.  Alternatively, search for pattern styles such as “Camouflage” and “Night Camo.” 

In addition to making your phone look great, iPhone cases offer practical solutions too – like protecting your phone.  Cell phones have been around for some time now.  If you haven’t been involved in an accident, it’s most likely you’ve heard the horror stories of others.  Cell phones are great instruments, yet they are fragile.  It’s very likely you’ll drop, sit on, or place your phone in pockets or bags lined with other objects that can damage the phone.  You don’t want to spend more money fixing or replacing your expensive investment.  Protect it with our unique iPhone case.

Where else can you get such a unique product for your cell phone at such a low price?  While you’re here, take a look at our other iPhone accessories.  Aside from iPhone cases, we have standing and folding stands for your iPhone and iPad.  All offered at low, Rokform prices! 

Do you want to purchase something for a friend or family member?  We don’t blame you – everyone should take advantage of offered iPhone cases and accessories.  If you can’t find something you think they’ll like, get them a gift certificate in the denomination of your choice.

The New iPhone Release

Apple officially introduced the iPhone 4S.

"iPhone 4S. Outside the same, inside all different. A5 chip inside, dual-core graphics up to 7x faster than iPhone 4."

8 hours of talk time, 14.4 HSPA+, Dual Antenna System, World Phone, 8MP Camera, 1080p HD Video, SIRI (Voice automated personal assistant). 

Other notes:

• World phone...both CDMA and GSM in one phone.
• Wireless system updated. Stainless steel band with two antennas, switch intelligently between them.
• Data speed twice as fast...14.4 Mbps HSDPA. It's what competitors call 4G.
• Camera: backside illuminated sensor, hybrid IR filter, better color accuracy, 5 element lens
• Face detection, better white balance, and fast photos. Time to first photo: 1.1 seconds. Half a second for next shot.
• Voice recognition and control was revealed as Apple's surprise feature for the iPhone 4S. The technology, which Apple acquired in its acquisition of Siri, is now built into iOS 5 and supported on the iPhone 4S.

"For decades technologists have teased us with this dream that we can talk to our technology. But it’s never come true! It’s such a let-down! What we really want to do is just talk to our device!"

Apple's Scott Forstall asked Siri "What's the weather like today?" and received the forecast. 

"Find me a great Greek restaurant in Palo Alto." “I’ve found 14 Greek restaurants... 5 of them are in Palo Alto. I’ve sorted them by rating.” 

Forstall says “I’ve been in the AI field a long time. This blows me away.” Siri can also return Wikipedia and Wolfram Alpha searches, or return word definitions.

In addition to following voice instructions, Siri can also read your messages to you, straight from the notification queue, hands-free.

"Compose and dictate email right to Siri. Set timers. Look up contacts, create notes, search the web, search Wikipedia. It’s absolutely blow-away. 

Well, who is Siri? Just ask!” Siri: “I am a humble personal assistant." Siri does dictation — now whenever you see a keyboard, you’ll see a microphone. Talk to Siri, tap done, and in the blink of an eye it comes back with your text. Speak with your natural language."
