    Apple's new firmware is calling home, periodically.

    According to iPhone Atlas, Apple are readying a remote system for blacklisting applications on the iPhone.

    If true, Apple has setup a system where, through the 2.0 software, iPhone will call home (to Apple) through a specialised call-back URL. The URL is enlisted deep within the iPhone 2.0 firmware, and looks like this …

  • Radius: The Only Spherical Thriller, for iPhone.

    A new spherical action title has hit the store. It’s Radius [App Store] by Pattern Making Co.

    Basic Concept
    The aim of the game is to defend your sphere from enemies which land on it’s surface. The faster you tap and rotate the sphere the more you gain. The sphere has life which can be damaged, due to attacks, but also your reaction time.

    Gameplay
    The sphere can be rotated easy by flicking and swiping your finger. This interface makes the game what it is. It actually gets quite frenzied the more time enemies are given to invade the sphere. Further into the game enemies can split off into multiple moving targets. You must catch them before they also try the attack. Killing an enemy is as simply as taping on it. Future enemies will progressively get harder as they develop different personalities and dependencies, some even requiring multiple taps …

    Original Article:

    I updated the original article with this information, but now I have a bit more. It seems one reason the application may have been pulled, is due to an app store review (above).

    The words of a no-doubt anxious buyer, having Apple await to deduct the $999.99 owed from his/her account, for … well, an application which basically has no purpose …
