Good news if you want to use Gmail, Google Docs or Calendar in offline mode. Gmail starts today, the rest are coming this week. It looks like Apple could soon detect problems with your iPhone over the air. The US Department of Justice is stepping in with the AT&T/T-Mobile merger.

25 seconds of tennis from the Nadal v. Golubev match at last night’s US Open. Apart from the sheer size of the stadium, I was struck by the immense quiet. Being able to hear the players talk and grunt, hearing their sneakers squeak around the court, their rackets hit the ground, the ball hit the net, sharing their play with thousands of other people, filling the stadium with an immense, buzzing silence, was a truly interesting experience.

Nice one, Taylor!

Dylan Ratigan, who had been using his SoundCloud account in a great way for sharing recordings and sounds, just found another great way to make use of audio: responding to emails he gets using audio. He calls this Dylan’s Inbox and it’s very cool.

Listen to a first set of audio questions in this set.

Pro tip from team SoundCloud: why not try out http://takesquestions.com and enable people to also use audio to ask questions instead of email.

Tickets Cheap at Massey Hall - Submitted by Mr. Tunes

Hello all! I hope you’re having a great week so far. Yesterday I moved out of my Toronto apartment back up north to Aurora (an interim stop on my upcoming journey to Berlin) - it was a busy busy day! 

Today we have a quick sound bite taken by Mr. Tunes (Elliott), who previously shared his sounds from Bathurst Station. This one was taken at Massey Hall back in February when the Wayne Shorter Quartet was playing. A familiar sound at any concert, this captures a scalper heckling the passers-by. As Elliott says, “that guys is relentless!”

He totally is. Can’t stop won’t stop selling tickets cheap! Oh man! This totally reminds me of the time in first year university (so, basically almost exactly 6 years to the day…holy crap) and I went down to Massey Hall to try and scalp Sigur Ros tickets. It was a successful mission, and the guy sold it to us at face value! What a great concert. 

Thanks for sharing, Elliott! I hope to hear more of your sounds soon!!!

Have a great Wednesday everyone! Remember to keep your recorders handy and send any fun captures my way! Submit HERE or HERE!

Steckenpferd {n}

This one is thanks to my colleague Robb (again). Now, I can go around impressing people with the word “Steckenpferd”, which means hobby horse. Also, literally means “Horse-head-on-a-stick-toy”.

Sentence: Mein Steckenpferd ist Deutsch lernen

BERLIN

I had a great week (well 10 days, due to Irene) in the Mitte neighborhood of Berlin and met the SoundCloud community team and many others at the company.  It’s a great, international group of people and I’m excited to be a part of the company.

Around the streets of Berlin, I captured some street music and sounds that will remind me of this experience.  This track is one I really enjoyed while crossing over the bridge and looking at the Berliner Dom (Cathedral).

I also found a new favorite park.  If you ever make it to Berlin, you have to check out the sounds of Mauer Park on a Sunday.  In the meantime, you can listen to the set below.

It was great to have you here, Ed! We can’t wait for all the amazing stories you’ll capture back in NYC.

Also: thanks for the cookies.
