  • Heads Up: Mobile Chat 3, Now Available – [Updatedx6]

    [Updatex6] – Full Review, Now Available

    For anyone reading this article currently, my full, on-going,
    review of Mobile Chat 3.0 is now available HERE

    [Updatex5] – 13.08.08 (20.05pm)

    Scratch that, the application functions over 3G and Edge too! – Although very unstable currently.

    [Updatex4] – 13.08.08 (11.31am)

    The application seems to need a persistent connection to wifi. It’s unclear as to whether the service works over Edge and/or 3G. The reason I’ve come to this conclusion is I tried to connect to the account (pictured above) and I got a ‘Cannot connect to Mobile chat’ alert message. I then switched to Wifi and my account continued to be successfully signed in through the MSN network

  • The Inevitable Review: WordPress, for iPhone.

    .

    As a blogger, the ability to blog on the move is a complete necessity. I need to be able to post something, to this blog, when I’m away from my iMac. Previous to the launch of the native WordPress application, I had to login through mobile Safari, and use that. Horrible experience.

    Now it’s much less painful, with WordPress for iPhone.

    Brief Overview
    Upon opening WordPress for iPhone, you are greeted with a list of blogs you currently have permission to edit. Each blog must be setup beforehand. This is done by tapping the blue arrow to the right of the blog name. The user is then taken to a screen were you can enter the URL of the blog you wish to edit, WordPress username and password for access permission …

  • 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 …
