Why Cydia Sucks And How It Could Be Improved
9 Feb 2010 | 8:00 amMy friend Patrick over at JAiB finally said out loud what I’ve been thinking for quite some time now. In an article titled “why does using Cydia have to suck so much”, Patrick explains his frustration about how slow Cydia can be: Cydia is slow to load and refresh its data, so you have a wait on your hands straight away when you launch it. When it finishes loading I generally go straight to the Changes tab, to see what’s new. Today the Things for LockInfo plugin immediately caught my eye and I knew I wanted to take a look at it. The plugin’s main screen said to scroll… -

How to Unlock iPhone 3.1.3
7 Feb 2010 | 8:29 pmThis guide and tutorial will show you how to unlock iPhone 3.1.3 using UltraSn0w or BlackSn0w, depending on your iPhone baseband. The first step is to jailbreak your iPhone 3.1.3, either with RedSn0w or with PwnageTool. Note that PwnageTool is the preferred method as it helps preserve the baseband. Now we have 2 options for unlocking, and it all depends on your baseband model: If your baseband is still at 04.26.08, then you may use UltraSn0w. If your baseband is at 05.11.07, you may use BlackSn0w. If your baseband is at 05.12.01, you cannot unlock at this time. No one knows if we’ll… -
Jailbreak iPhone 3.1.3 with PwnageTool
7 Feb 2010 | 8:05 pmThe Dev Team released PwnageTool 3.1.5 just a few hours ago. In this guide and tutorial, I will show you how to use PwnageTool to jailbreak iPhone 3.1.3. Before we get into the details, please make sure you read this article by the Dev Team. It will explain to you what you can and cannot do. It is a very important piece of information that you should not overlook. If at any point in time you updated your iPhone to firmware 3.1.3, then you also updated your baseband to 05.12.01. If that’s the case, you will be able to jailbreak by downgrading to 3.1.2 first, but you will not be able to… -

PwnageTool 3.1.5 Jailbreaks iPhone 3.1.3
8 Feb 2010 | 11:30 amMac OS X: Last week Apple pushed out a minor update to the iPhone OS, and, naturally, the update re-jailed any jailbroken devices. Yet again, the iPhone dev-team is back with a new version of PwnageTool that's compatible with the latest update.Take note that the dev-team's official stance on the iPhone 3.1.3 OS update is "skip it" unless you've had battery problems (the update offers little more). If you wanted to go ahead with the update anyway, this new version of the PwnageTool (3.1.5) will help you safely upgrade your jailbroken device. Be sure to read the full dev-team post for details… -

Siri Is a Personal Assistant that Fits in Your Pocket
5 Feb 2010 | 8:30 amiPhone: We can't think of a person who couldn't use a little help with everyday planning, research, and chores, but unfortunately we can't all afford a personal assistant. Siri is a smart voice-recognition virtual assistant for your iPhone. Give the video above a look for an idea of how Siri works. Essentially, you speak your bidding, it interprets what you say, and it goes hunting for what it is that you want. Ask it to look up movie showtimes, make reservations, get a taxi, fetch flight info, set up reminders, or just get the weather forecast. Granted, you can find plenty of tools to do… -
SlingPlayer iPhone App Gets Go-Ahead to Stream Over 3G
4 Feb 2010 | 7:30 amIf you've got a SlingBox and an iPhone, you could previously fork over another $30 to get the SlingPlayer app and watch your home TV and recordings ... over Wi-Fi, which kind of defeated the whole purpose of mobile watching (aren't you usually home already when you're on Wi-Fi?). But Sling and AT&T have reached an agreement on 3G streaming, so the SlingPlayer will get an upgrade to truly mobile TV streaming as soon as Apple approves the upgrade. Existing SlingPlayer owners will get the upgraded version free. Would watching your Sling content over 3G make sense for you, or is this a whole lot… -

Navigon Updates MobileNavigator iPhone App With Facebook and Twitter Connectivity, Panorama View 3D Mapping
9 Feb 2010 | 3:30 amNot only has Navigon added a bunch of new features to its iPhone app, the price is $20 cheaper—although if you want Traffic Live and 3D maps, it still adds up to $100. Nonetheless, it sounds worth it. The update has a few nifty angles—there's the connection to your Facebook or Twitter accounts for updating friends on your current position, destination and time you're due to arrive; the aforementioned Panorama View 3D views (which use NASA height and terrain data) and personalized route delivery, called MyRoutes. The addition of NASA's data is a nice touch, meaning you'll be able… -
Some Good News, and Some Bad News, About Adobe Flash 10.1
9 Feb 2010 | 12:00 amThe good news first: Adobe's promising Flash 10.1 is going to hit smartphones—Android, WebOS, Windows Mobile—and desktops in the "first half" of this year, a slightly less squishy date. And it'll come over the air. The bad part? Well it's bad for Android, anyway: You're gonna need Android 2.1. At least. Because it provides some access Adobe needs to make the Flash magic happen. So, sorry everything but the Droid and Nexus One, at least for the moment. The "over the air" thing is also kind of "up in the air" as to what that means: It could come from your carrier, it could come from… -
BirdBox Wakes You Up With the Sound of Hungry Birds In Your iPhone
8 Feb 2010 | 2:46 pmI love little birds. They are so cute. And they taste delicious and crunchy fried in beer batter. If you want them to wake you up, however, try BirdBox. BirdBox is a $12.75 bedside bird home with a matching free application that turns your iPhone or iPod touch into a cuckoo alarm clock. You know, because nothing says good morning like "the sound and sight of nesting birds" eating regurgitated bugs and worms. [Luckybite via Boing Boing] -
Rumored Spyshot: Will the Next iPhone Be Taller Than Its Predecessors?
8 Feb 2010 | 10:54 amAn alleged leak of fourth-gen iPhone components claims to tell us two things about Apple's next creation. One, it's taller. Two, part of its surface is "reflective."What iResQ claims to be the next iPhone case sits on the right in our lead shot, alongside the iPhone 3GS' front assembly. It's 1/4 of an inch taller. Boom? (iPhone 3G, iPhone 3Gs, potential iPhone 4G) Plus, the top lip of the case has a "reflective, mirror-like surface," which iResQ assumes is a rearrangement of the iPhone's proximity sensor (the component that notices when your face is near the phone). No component leak is all… -

Wordpress updated to 2.2: edit and reply to comments right from your iPhone [iPhone App Updates]
8 Feb 2010 | 2:08 pmHrmm, this is interesting. I’m still a little skeptical about this great change from software that has routinely kicked my ass with its updates, but Wordpress 2.2 might just be…awesome. The change log is deceptively small, with three bullet points about how comments can now be edited, replied to, and even auto-highlighted when they’re pending approval. However, if this really does work out, it could well be the best bloody Wordpress app update ever. The app still can’t put pictures at the top of a post (have they ever looked at how blogs and websites seem to work?),… -
Riddim Ribbon feat. The Black Eyed Peas – the iPhone’s Next Massive Music Game? [iPhone Games]

Even if the latest new music game from Tap Tap’s makers – Tapulous – only achieves a fraction of its predecessor’s success, it will still be a big hit. Riddim Ribbon feat. The Black Eyed Peas is the latest release from Tapulous and it looks like it may have a fair amount of instant appeal as well.

Rock Your Phone, the better alternative to Cydia on your jailbroken iPhone [Jailbreak Apps]
8 Feb 2010 | 12:37 pmPatrick recently wrote a piece on how slow and painful using Cydia can be, so I thought I’d offer a little bit of information on the other major jailbreak app portal, Rock Your Phone. In my experience Cydia is still the top dog in terms of new app releases and popularity, but Rock has been doing some serious catching up – especially with the release of Rock 2.2. Rock Your Phone has access to almost all of the repositories on Cydia, and with the new License Central is able to recognize all of your purchased Rock and Cydia licenses, so Rock really can become the one jailbreak app to… -

Chomp, iPhone Apps Discovery App – Needs To Improve Lousy Recommendations
8 Feb 2010 | 8:10 amI like Chomp quite a bit as an iPhone apps discovery and recommendations app, but the more I use it the more I’m finding that its recommendations are utterly useless. The parts of the app I like are the live reviews from users – seeing them and contributing my own. When I go to the Recommendations page though, it’s pure disappointment. The app claims that it makes recommendations based on my reviews. Well … I’ve made over 100 reviews and not one of them was for a ‘sexy bikini girls’ type app, or anything even close, yet I still receive numerous recommendations for…

Game developers on iPhone outnumber DS and PSP two-to-one

That's a pretty amazing number, though it's not quite a surprise when you consider it. First of all, Nintendo DS and PSP… -
Plants vs. Zombies coming to iPhone on February 15th

They just tweeted confirmation a little while ago, and released this trailer showing all of the flower vs. undead action that we enjoyed so much in the other versions of the game, squeezed into the smaller screen of the iPhone. They don't mention a price point, but I'm guessing it'll come out at $4.99, since that's what most of their releases have debuted at… -
Loopt teams with Mobile Spinach for check-in discounts, Booyah talks about MyTown
8 Feb 2010 | 2:00 pmFiled under: Software, iPhone, App StoreIf the iPhone has a leading app genre, aside from gaming, I'd say the current surge of "check-in" apps is probably it. Sure, back when the App Store first opened up, Twitter apps were everywhere (and they're still being made daily, it seems), but in terms of a genre that can only exist on a location-aware device like the iPhone, "check-in" apps like Foursquare, Gowalla, and so on, are making their mark right now. Here's news on two such apps continuing to grow on the App Store skyline. First up, Loopt [iTunes link] has announced a partnership with a… -

Two things about this piece of hardware are particularly interesting. First, the part is approximately 1/4 of an inch taller than the iPhone 3GS, indicative of a slightly taller form factor for the next-gen iPhone. Second, there's a small, reflective strip directly above the hole for the phone speaker. iResQ believes this is likely to be the new location for the iPhone's proximity sensor rather than an indication of any new hardware;…

Anyway, Apple was displaying their iPad on their website with the flash working. Not sure how they missed this one but they…

Nexus One is just another Android phone
5 Jan 2010 | 8:57 amGoogle will be releasing their Nexus One aka Google phone today. Will Nexus One be an iPhone killer? The answer is no. Engadget’s Joshua Topolsky managed to get his hands on a Nexus One early, and posted his very detailed review up on Engadget. Go on and check it out, he did a good review of it. Joshua’s verdict is that the Nexus One is just another Android phone, and I’d have to agree with this judging by the videos and reviews I saw on the web. The iPhone will always win because of it’s simplicity! If you plan on getting the Nexus One, I’d like to know why… -
Isaac Newton falling Apple logo by Google works on iPhone
3 Jan 2010 | 11:31 pmNo, the falling Apple logo on the Google hompage doesn’t have anything to do with Apple Inc. It is there to celebrate the birthday of Sir Isaac Newton. I believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen Google use an animated logo on their front page. I like it! Google is using javascript so the animation should work on most browsers. I tried it on my iPhone using the Safari browser and it does work! To view the Isaac Newton Google Doodle on your iPhone just go to http://www.google.com and click View Google in: Classic. The homepage will come up and you will see the Apple logo… -
Isaac Newton on Google logo with dropping Apple
3 Jan 2010 | 8:28 pmAs I was browsing Google today I noticed a new logo which Google created to honor Sir Isaac Newton. The logo has an animated falling Apple and it’s missing an “o” from it. Google usually decorates their logo whenever they want to celebrate a special day, and today happens to be one of them. Isaac Newton was born on January 4. Isaac Newton is well known for his three laws of motion. Google created an animation of the falling Apple because that is what inspired him to come up with the gravitational formula. I’m posting it here because I know many of you here use Google…

Broken Sword for iPhone Coming End of January
14 Jan 2010 | 8:00 amI have a confession to make: I’ve never played Broken Sword. I hear it’s a very popular point and click game that I probably should know all about and have beaten the game 5 times already. Perhaps I don’t have that experience to live with, but I can certainly have something close to it with the upcoming iPhone version of the same game. This time it’s titled “Broken Sword: Director’s Cut” and will have around 20% longer gameplay time. It will also add in touchscreen controls, new graphics, and brand new puzzles and dialogue. The game will be expected… -

14 Jan 2010 | 5:00 amSo you own a iPhone 3GS and love the fact you can take videos of random stuff, but you’re annoyed because the video can occasionally get shaky.

Zenonia 2 Coming in March
13 Jan 2010 | 8:10 pmI was a huge fan of the original Zenonia on the iPhone. It was one of the first true RPGs you could find for the platform, and it was done rather well. While not completely smooth all the time, it was still enjoyable for being a pioneer of the iPhone RPG market. Naturally, then, I was pretty excited to hear that a sequel is on its way. Most iPhone sequels I’ve experienced have been much better than the originals, which is saying a lot considering sequels only come out if the original is successful enough to merit a second one. In this sequel, titled “Zenonia: The Lost… -
Get Zombie Survival Training With Dawn of the Dead iPhone Game
13 Jan 2010 | 5:00 amLook, there’s really nothing original about this concept. It’s a zombie shooter game for the iPhone and iPod Touch that looks from the top down. Like THAT hasn’t been done before. But what is worth mentioning on this site is the fact that it’s Dawn of the Dead, based on George Romero’s highly successful motion picture of the same name, as well as its remake from 2004. I guess I should reserve judgment for until the game comes out, and then we’ll see. Developed by Byte Mark, it has already been submitted to the App Store. This means we’ll likely be…

Rumor: AT&T outbid Verizon for the iPad data plan

He says that inside sources at Verizon still insist that they’ve been talking with Apple about handling some of the data service, and he even says that they’ve mentioned not only an iPhone set up to work with Verizon later this year, but an iPad as well. Rumor also has it that AT&T simply outbid the other… -
iPad devsugar: Three lessons from the iPhone
7 Feb 2010 | 5:39 pmFiled under: Apple, Developer, iPhone, SDK In pixel-terms, the iPad offers a much larger workspace to develop on than the iPhone but in terms of the human experience, it’s not that very far away from iPhone programming. The two share an underlying operating system and a large overlap in human interaction realities. Here are just three of those overlapping iPhone development realities. Consider taking these ideas into account as you’re building your new and updated applications for the iPad. Human fingers are big. Although the iPhone has a much smaller screen than the iPad, the… -

Rogers/Fido To Reduce Local Calling Areas Across Canada….AGAIN!
9 Feb 2010 | 2:00 amThe middle of December 2009 concluded what was expected to be the final round of Rogers/Fido local calling area reductions. Wrong. Effective March 15, 2010, Rogers/Fido are further reducing Local Calling Areas across Canada. What does this mean? Local Calling Areas (LCA) are invisible geographic boundaries that determine which calls are billed as local calls and which calls are billed as long distance calls. Your LCA is the geographic area in which you can make or receive phone calls without incurring long distance charges. In other words, they are billed as local calls. For the areas listed… -

Are These 4th Gen iPhone Pics? [Unlikely]

SlingPlayer iPhone App to Work on AT&T 3G [Updated]
5 Feb 2010 | 6:34 amSlingPlayer fans can rejoice now. The SlingPlayer iPhone app when it came out was crippled by AT&T.

How to Speed Up iPhone and iPod Touch Sync?
4 Feb 2010 | 10:37 amHave you been getting annoyed by the insane amount of time your iPhone or iPod Touch takes to sync? At most instances, it is the backup piece of the sync process that tends to take an inordinate amount of time. Also, if you had already synced once in the day and just want to sync some music, photos, etc it could be a major pain to wait for the whole sync process. What if you could simply turn off/on the backup part with a single click? BackOff from DigiDNA – the makers of the popular DiskAid iPhone file browser software does just that. BackOff is free Once Click to Turn off/on Works on… -

Hidden Secrets of iPhone OS 3.2
1 Feb 2010 | 6:25 pmAs you may all know, Apple has released a new all-hype product called the iPad. In the Apple Keynote (a video presentation introducing a new Apple product), Steve Jobs did not mention what OS the iPad was going to be running on. The iPad is going to run a specialized version of iPhone OS 3.2 that will only work on the iPad (which is stated in the iPhone developers Web site). Engadget confirms info from “extremely trusted sources” who say the OS has support for video calling. which is useless to the iPad. The tablet does not have a camera so… -

24 Jan 2010 | 7:01 pmWith iH8sn0w’s recent release of Sn0wbreeze, thousands of iPhone users were excited to download it and jailbreak their phones while activating a custom boot logo or verbose mode. Unfortunately, the current version of sn0wbreeze has a faulty Cydia and RockApp, so there is no way to install hacks and packages with the full IPSW.

This iPhone Shoebox Movie Theater Is Spectacular
8 Feb 2010 | 11:33 amAll it takes is a shoebox, creativity and some fantastical imagination to design your own mini iPhone home theater. The end result of the "Katz Theater" is awe inspiring. It caused instant tingling in my geeky parts. The use of the old theater templates appears to be a key to this project looking so authentic (photos). "All you need is a shoe box, a laser printer, a sharp knife and rubber cement," Gary Katz wrote on his blog. "A snowy weekend can also help." This is the kind of thing that makes the Cult of iPhone an epic force to be reckoned with. You don't… -
Megan Fox Takes Super Bowl Bath for Motorola
7 Feb 2010 | 7:01 pmConfirmed Mac chick Megan Fox, photographed on dozens of occasions sporting her beloved iPhone 3G, took a dive for the Motorola money to pimp the Devour in a brand new Super Bowl ad. It sickens me to see Fox, an iPhone goddess, soaking wet in a bath tub pimping some inferior mobile device. Millions of people were forced to witness this farce, this grand mockery of two shams. I don't care how hot Megan Fox is, we all know she's ten times hotter when she's holding her iPhone. She looks ridiculous holding that box-shaped excuse for innovation. Motoblur? Seriously?

It was clear that Rose is holding some pent-up man-lust for the iPad. I thought the discussion was intelligent, balanced and enlightening.

Because you, and the rest of the iPhone unlock sites out there are scum. You make money selling freeware; that's not cool, and I am in no way going to legitimize it.Seriously, the people who really lose here are the customers. These sites are full of blatant lies, claiming to have unlocks for 05.11.07 People buy them, and are told the unlock is in development, and the release date is unknown.

Well Rested
8 Jun 2009 | 2:15 pmSo after 2 years of working on my ‘website projects’ I decided to take a little vacation. During the past couple of weeks a couple of my websites have been able to continue to go forward, but sadly AppStoreApps.com was on pause for a little bit. It is just a little more expensive to keep this website going when I’m not here than my others are. Some of you might have noticed that AppBoxx.com went down. With my recent move, I just couldn’t justify paying the 300/month for server. The website was growing rather well, but I would have to invest at least another year into… -

Look no further than [absorb] for an exciting arcade-styled game on the iPhone
5 Feb 2010 | 5:58 amSomething about the way [absorb] looks reminds me of Vector Runner. Maybe it’s the clean lines and the retro look, but the similarity ends there, for the game play can’t be more different. [absorb] challenges us to guide orbs of five different colors into their similarly-colored gates. But there is more to the game than meets the eye. Though the controls seem simple as we just have to drag and drop the orbs into the gates, the elements of velocity and gravity come into play, and we need to be very skilled in making our moves. I discovered this when I tried the drag and drop method but… -

Review: Siri -- a free virtual personal assistant for your iPhone
8 Feb 2010 | 11:07 pmI still find myself in awe of the power of Dragon Dictation, the great (and free) app that I reviewed two months ago which quickly transcribes your voice into text. What would happen if you merged the power of the Dragon Dictation with a really smart personal assistant who, thanks to the iPhone's GPS, always knows where you are? The answer is an amazing new app called Siri. I cannot say enough about how impressive this app is, both because of what it offers right now and because of what it shows about the future of technology. To use Siri, just start the app, press the "Say… -
Super Bowl Champions
7 Feb 2010 | 10:05 pmCongratulations to the New Orleans Saints for winning Super Bowl XLIV. Everyone in New Orleans and the entire Who Dat Nation will forever remember this moment, which has been a very long time coming. A special thanks to our quarterback, Drew Brees, for being such a first class person both on and off of the field. After the last two weeks of preparation for the Super Bowl, it has perhaps become cliché to speak of the parallels between the rebirth of this unique city since 2005 and the rebirth of the Saints, but the comparison works because it is true. In fact, my father, an architect… -
In the news
4 Feb 2010 | 10:12 pmThere has not been much iPhone news of note this week. Partially that is because Apple's upcoming iPad continues to dominate the conversations, and while much iPad news has an indirect connection with the iPhone, some does not. Today, I am starting with the pure iPhone stories, and then I end up by listing the iPad stories that I consider newsworthy for iPhone users. Additionally, I don't know what is in the news where you live, but here in New Orleans the news is pretty much all Saints, all the time, with just a little bit of Mardi Gras thrown in there as well.

Review: Bills ~ On Your Table -- manage your bills on your iPhone
3 Feb 2010 | 10:05 pmI review a lot of apps on iPhone J.D., but often after I review the app, I don't use it again — not because the app isn't good, but because it addresses a need that I do not have. But then there are some apps that I find myself loving even more than I did when I first reviewed the app. A perfect example of the latter is NotifyMe, an app I reviewed a few months ago from PoweryBase that you can use to quickly send yourself reminders. NotifyMe was updated this week to version 1.5, adding the ability to edit the categories and some bug fixes, and a new version 2.0 with even more… -
Apple releases iPhone Software 3.1.3
2 Feb 2010 | 10:05 pmYesterday, Apple released iPhone Software 3.1.3, the first update for the iPhone since October 8, 2009. It is pretty rare for Apple to go almost four months between iPhone updates. The last time we had a really long gap was the time between 2.2.1 (released January 27, 2009) and 3.0 (released June 17, 2009). That delay of almost five months resulted in a ton of new features, many of which were major improvements to the iPhone, and even that delay didn't really seem like five months because Apple actually previewed iPhone Software 3.0 on March 17, 2009. The changes in 3.1.3 are:…

Here is one of his opinions: mobile Safari is this generation’s Internet Explorer 6, and will be hated by future webdevs. No matter how much better the iPhone/iPad/iPod might be as a mobile browsing experience, developing content that only works on those devices, ignores everything else, is a backward step. The iPhone has become an obsession. If we don’t pay attention,… -
Data Toggle: Kill iPhone Data Traffic Properly
9 Feb 2010 | 3:48 amData Toggle: Kill iPhone Data Traffic ProperlyPost from: FSMdotCOM New day, new toggle in Cydia: Data toggle. This toggle, when it is off, it should kill the data connection entirely. 3G can be on and you will not be able to access your internet via your provider’s data connection. You will notice you get an IP address, but it is a bogus one that we assign (1.1.1.0). In short, this solution sets a bogus IP address, (1.1.1.0) to your data adapter’s IP address. This seems to kill EDGE / 3G without any battery drain issues reported in using other methods such as entering a bad APN. The only… -

Myst is a point and click adventure puzzle game first published for the Mac in 1993. Loaded on a CD-ROM, Myst was absolutely revolutionary at the time. We enjoyed the iPhone port in our review, and there's not much reason to think that Riven wouldn't translate to the iPhone just as well. Riven is set immediately following the events that transpired in Myst and the plot is hard to describe without revealing some… -

AS3 BitmapData Glitch Generator [Flash]

Instead of using the graphics API or Bitmap effects, Justin resorted to the real thing. The principle is incredibly simple. Corrupt / alter a byte (or several bytes) in the ByteArray of a JPEG and then load this back into a DisplayObject using Loader.loadBytes(). Because of the way in which JPEGs work, the image will still display but the corrupt bytes will mangle the output to varying degrees, depending on how… -

Another difference with the new iPhone is that it has a small reflective surface above the speaker (this might be just a proximity sensor).

Exclusive Apps for the iPad?

Most of the apps developed before now have been optimized for the smaller screens of the iPhone and iPod touch. Is that the reason for the 60 day delay in the iPad's release? So that developers can re-develop for the iPad. My theory is this: a new breed of apps will be…

Colosseum Review: Flawed, Yet Keep Going for More
8 Feb 2010 | 9:25 pmI was quite surprised when I saw Colosseum rise to the top 100 paid apps with little to no media coverage. I actually didn’t even know what it was until I clicked on the icon, and the application popped up to show a Zombieville-esque side scroller along with some impressive artwork. And while it looked all spiffy, I knew nothing could replace Zombieville on the iPhone. Nothing could ever replace the sweet relief of blasting zombies’ heads with shotguns or rocketing them to ashes, but Colosseum came pretty close to accomplishing what other side scrollers never had: fun. Never… -
2360: Battle for Cydonia updated
8 Feb 2010 | 4:31 pmBrisk Mobile’s 1.0.1 update to 2360: Battle for Cydonia hit the app store today. The update is primarily a maintenance release, but addresses a significant bug originally reported in my review where money awarded on mission completion wasn’t added to your total funds, creating a major game imbalance by hampering your ability to upgrade your mech to fight against increasingly stronger foes. The bug is now fixed, and money tallies as it should. Time to get your game on, folks. 2360: Battle for Cydonia is an excellent top-down mecha shooter, featuring ambidextrous combat, excellent… -

Could the iPad Save Publishing? No, but… well Maybe
7 Feb 2010 | 10:28 amWith the introduction of the iPad a couple of weeks ago, the oracle himself, Steve Jobs, stated that the device was the single most important thing he’s ever done because it could single-handedly save the publishing industry. Jobs may be reaching for the stars with this one if he expect this new device to be much more than a Kindle/iTouch hybrid. If the current business models are followed, there’s no way the iPad will reach the critical mass acceptance unless… Before going further, let’s consider the facts: the iPad is really an Apple entry device designed to take on the… -
Space Miner: Space Ore Bust Review: A Game that Deliv-OREs
6 Feb 2010 | 8:35 pmWhen pondering the exploration and exploitation of outer space and its resources, one does not often conjure images of knee slappin’, banjo twiddlin’, bearded hillbillies amongst the stars. But if one can imagine hillbillies mining ores on the American frontier — as most folk easily can — I suppose it’s not much of a stretch to imagine them mining ores on the final frontiers of outer space. Such is the premise of Space Miner: Space Ore Bust, the new space-shooter/RPG hybrid from Venan Entertainment. Combining parts I Dig It, Flatspace and Asteroids, Space Miner…

Bald Idea #40: Creative Starbucks Branding
17 Jan 2010 | 8:37 pmEvery day in my life starts with Starbucks. I get a Grande Americano and a multi-grain bagel with cream cheese - toasted. My order is ready by the time I reach the counter and I didn't even have to say it out loud - they just know. I love the Starbucks brand; I love its coffee, its nature-themed interiors, its music selection, and its overall appeal to today's culture. It is part of my New York City life, and I couldn't be happier.Starbucks is doing a lot of things right in the marketing field - most importantly it interacts with its customers (most brands do not).

Board Game App Announced for iPad
9 Feb 2010 | 9:58 amDespite mixed feelings about the iPad that are cropping up in the Apple community, there's one thing that just about everyone has been at least somewhat excited about: the possibility of board games on the device. A combination of the touch-based interface and large screen size could cause a resurgence in board game consumption, as parents seek to teach their young ones about the ruthless economics of Monopoly.Now we're one step closer to that dream, and while it may not be Monopoly, it's still progress.

Vib-Ribbon-esque Tune Racer Announced by Appy
9 Feb 2010 | 7:58 amOnly the hardest of the hardcore PlayStation fans will remember Vib-Ribbon, a truly unique game for its time that installed itself on the system's RAM and then used the music of a CD inserted in the PS1 disc tray to randomly create levels. It's been kicked around here at STP by a couple of staff members that a Vib-Ribbon remake would be perfect for the iPhone or iPod Touch, which, by nature, is usually filled with music. While we may never see Vib-Ribbon return to the retail market, we'll soon have Tune Runner, which looks to fill that void.Tune Runner is about a sentient boom-box named… -
Riddim Ribbon Review
9 Feb 2010 | 5:58 amIf you only started listening to music in the last ten to fifteen years, you’ve probably never heard the sound of a cassette player running out of batteries. The iPod generation is unfamiliar with the sound of their favorite songs becoming slower and lower as they turn into a garbled mess. After all, when a CD player or iPod runs out of juice, it just shuts off. Now the younger generation has a chance to hear their music slowly die, because that’s the sound of Riddim Ribbon going off the rails. Riddim Ribbon is a new music game from Tapulous, who has made a big business out of selling… -
Vanquish: The Oath of Brothers Review
8 Feb 2010 | 2:10 pmThe RPG crowd might spend hours with a new game to uncover its depths, but Gamevil tried to target the casual audience with Vanquish: The Oath of Brothers instead. This time, they ended up with a simplistic hack ’n slash game that isn’t as good as their other titles. Vanquish’s strongest asset is its interesting storyline. Guan Yu, a former Cao Cao samurai, leaves on horseback to search for his brother. Along his journey, he must slay various Cao Cao generals standing in his way. The dialogue is a step above past Gamevil games, in part due to its ability to not ramble on for hours.We'll… -

Try My Nose : Virtual Nose Job (Free App Store)
9 Feb 2010 | 2:50 amEver wondered how would you look after a nose job ? Exactly what this app lets you try; different types of noses on your face. But the worst part is that you have to literally attach the nose to your face i.e. you need to hold the image of the nose on the phone in front of your face and see it in the mirror. Not very convenient I must say. Nah! Though for now this version does not have much to offer. I hope the developers come out with something more innovative and advanced for this app. The possibility of being able to take a picture of yourself and being able to attach the different… -

But the iPad seems to have lost a bit of momentum recently. Maybe it’s due to the features that people expected to see in the device and didn’t get. Or maybe it’s due to the fact that one has to wait a bit to get hands on this device. It’s no wonder Apple is… -

Apple iPhone Top Selling Phone in September
3 Nov 2009 | 12:15 pmAccording to an article on FierceWireless the Apple iPhone 3GS 32GB was the top selling phone in the country for the month of September 2009. But wait there’s more.

This is phenomenal when you consider that the Apple iPhone is on arguably the most disliked carrier AT&T. Imagine what will happen when Apple finally pulls it’s head from the sand and allows other carriers, mainly Verizon, to have a stab at selling it? [source: FierceWireless.com] No related posts.

8 Feb 2010 | 11:54 pm“It’s a lonely place”, says the mysterious hero whose fame, brought on by saving the world from tanks, aliens and zombies may have sunk his otherwise indefatigable spirits. Chillingo have kept tight-lipped as to their involvement in the creation of this superhuman, but the ever-vigilant TouchMyApps team are picking through the rubble of falling rumours now.It appears that the ‘hero’ may be crazy, a larger than life character too caught up in his role, in the carnage he dealt.

iPastor – Recording the need
8 Feb 2010 | 11:28 pmBowers Technologies’ latest app, iPastor could be considered to an ad-hoc notepad for those in the ministry. It is a contact do-all which helps track needs, target ministry objectives, and divide responsibilities between staff. In short, it helps ministry workers succinctly organise their objectives and goals for better care. The cynic in me tells me that this can be done for less and doesn’t need to be marketed to pastors, but the App Store will tell us what is what in the coming months. Bowers Technologies, Inc., iPastor – $4.99More piccies and info after the…

Why the Apple Event Disappointed Us
27 Jan 2010 | 11:52 amSo I love the niche Apple Tablet the iPad, but what happened to all those rumors that were basically crushed today with the news ending at iPad pricing and Apples “goals” of being at the intersection of Liberal Arts and Technology.

Yes, this free iPhone app is for die-hard Ellen fans, but would you really expect that the app would be designed for anyone else?

AutoStitch Panorama

Since the iPhone really doesn't have a way of zooming (sans an app), or going really wide angle. I shoot panoramas. While I could wait till I get back to my computer and stitch those shots together using Adobe Photoshop CS4. It's sometimes more convenient to just stitch them right on my iPhone 3GS. I've tried a few and AutoStitch Panorama is my choice Although I've tried a few stitching apps for the iPhone, I settled on AutoStitch Panorama as… -
DOOM Resurrection
5 Feb 2010 | 12:01 amI'm always amazed at how well the developers can port classic games over to the iPhone platform. The makers of Doom have done an excellent job in bringing over Doom Resurrection. A lot of thought went to how you would control a game like Doom with just touch screen controls and the way they chose to make it more enjoyable was to remove the chore of having to walk through the game while you're trying to fight off the aliens/zombies. The game does the walking for you and leaves you to concentrate on firing, ducking, dodging and picking up clues. Although I'm certainly not a… -
You can have your own iPhone App too
4 Feb 2010 | 12:01 amWith over 140,000 Apps now on the App Store there are many people out there with great ideas for Apps, but since they're not developers they don't really have a way of getting their Apps developed and then published. Contracting a developer to write an App for you could easily cost you $10,000 or more and of course since the average price of an App is $0.99 to $1.99. Even if you charged $9.99 (and it better be one hell of an App) it could take you a long long time to recoup that investment and worse you may never recoup it. Luckily there are developers out there that have seen this as…

Truphone Local Anywhere vs. Int’l Roaming
9 Feb 2010 | 10:00 amTruphone recently launched Local Anywhere. I think it’s pretty cool. It allows you to make calls at local rates by purchasing their international sim card, so it’ll be very convenient for frequent travellers. Not having to manage various SIMs and unlocking and searching and topping up would be great. International SIM cards aren’t anything new, but worth re-visiting when an innovator decides to take a turn at it. However, I’m not too convinced by Truphone’s “local” pricing yet. I think it’s still a bit expensive. For example, if I were to use… -

App Store Economics
4 Feb 2010 | 4:40 pmThe App Store is a nascent and promising field. I came across a good analysis of the App Store economics from Sanneblad: It means that you need to market your application like crazy to make it stand out from all the other 10 000 applications in the AppStore. Otherwise end-users will not be able to find your application. Just browsing the AppStore in itself is not really useful when applications like Call Mike are flooding the lists. You have to reach the list of top most downloaded applications. Think hard about what application it is that you are creating. If you do not see your application… -
Fantastic Website for Diversity Seeking Office Lemmings
29 Jan 2010 | 1:29 pmI love this travel website (Isango) because it’s for people who are so lazy that they don’t even want to decide on or plan their next holiday. All they know is they want to do something. When they want to do it. Who they want to do it with. What they do is not so important. As long as they have an exciting adventure or a cool experience. I think this is true for many people these days. Even I’m running out of ideas for my bucket list. Isango is a great website for those diversity seeking office lemmings. It makes easy to go on relatively exotic experiences like safari… -
