    [Updatex3] – 31.08.08 (12.52pm GMT)

    The game does support “steering”:

    “The game does indeed support iPhone “steering”. Once you have started a game, click the iPod icon in the upper left corner of the screen, and you can choose from one of three different playing modes.

    Enjoy!”

    [Updatex2] – 30.08.08 (18.17pm GMT)

    Ok, on first launch it sent the iPhone into a soft reset – but that’s not to say that was Gameloft’s fault, just yet, it could be instability with software 2.0. Secondly, the App Store description states you can control your car by steering the iPhone – based on the accelerometer. Now, it may just be me, but I’ve yet to find that functionality – Game play is currently controlled by touch gestures.

    Has anyone been able to figure this out? – Maybe Gameloft can chip-in at this point? …

  • Apple confirms September iPhone update. (2.1, Push?) – [Briefly]

  • All Radio: The 59p Application which brings International Radio, to iPhone and iPod.

    [Update] – App Store link fixed.

    Ever since the iPod’s introduction, the one feature missing was radio. It was heavily suggest to Apple throughout the years by many people, but for some reason didn’t make the cut into their iPod OS. With the introduction of the iPod touch and it’s new OS, I think people expected it to just ‘do’ radio out of the box – it “just works” right? – Of course, it didn’t.

    Apple then introduced the iPhone and it’s SDK. Apple essentially at this point opened up the entire platform, while still insuring a certain amount of stability and safety to it’s users. This gave developers an albeit ‘closed’ but powerful platform to work on. A platform, which VisuaMobile didn’t shrug at …
