  • Raging Thunder: Could the iPhone actually be set to rival Sony’s PSP gaming capabilities? – [Updated]

    [Update 14.10.08 @ 16.25pm]

    As pointed out by one our readers ‘Monk’, Polarbit have indeed knocked 50% off the retail price of Raging Thunder, bringing it down to a very affordable £2.39 (~$3.99)!

    This is said to be a limited time offer – get it while you can guys/gals! [App Store]

    You’ve tried Asphalt 4: Elite Racing, you’ve tried Crog-Mag Rally and you may have even tried Moto Chaser, GTS World Racing and possibly Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart – but if you haven’t picked up Raging Thunder by Polarbit yet, here’s exactly why you should … (more…)

  • Beejive IM for iPhone Hits [Update]

    Yesterday, the popular multi-network IM service, Beejive, released it’s native iPhone application. I picked it up after the sheer disaster I encountered with Mobile Chat 3. Probably the first impression most people will get from it, is that it’s quite a bit more expensive than it’s competition at £9.49, and you’d be right. Having looked beyond the price though, this application is very well designed and could actually become one of, if not the IM client for iPhone … (more…)

  • The Shambles that is Mobile Chat 3 – [Updatedx2]

    [Update 07.10.08 @ 12.21pm]

    It seems in an attempt to hide the fact their product just doesn’t work, Saverio and Shaun have completely disabled the commenting feature on their blog. All previous comments are not longer visible and they have provided one mail box for comments, queries, suggestions and support.

    Utterly ridiculous.

    [Update 02.10.08 @ 13.43pm]

    Update 3.1 (aka The ‘God’ Save) now available.
    6 weeks in the making, and entitled ‘Bug Fixes’ not surprisingly it didn’t do a thing.

    Original Article:

    Ever since I bought Mobile Chat 3 by Shaun Harrison on August 14th, I and many others have been following it’s progress and updates carefully. These also included following the developer’s text updates and status announcements at their blog tumblr.twenty08. After reading and monitoring the site for about 4 weeks now, I’ve come to the conclusion the application simply does not work. So the question is:

    Why is Apple allowing this application to remain on the App Store? (more…)

  • Sarbanes-Oxley: Required Charge for New Feature Additons, yet ‘Genius’ is Free. Eh? – [Briefly]

    Since the introduction of iPod touch and the 1.1.3 January Software Update, it’s apparent Apple will now slap a charge on any software which includes new features. Ok – I get that, the work goes in, something has to come out – you may disagree – I went through a spell of doing just that, but the recent 2.1 update was free for iPod touch users, and it included a pretty huge feature addition.

    Genius … (more…)

  • Apple’s ‘Remote’ Gets Update to 1.1 – [Updated]

    [Update 17.09.08 @ 11.36am]

    Brenda contacted me last night (Hi Brenda!) to say this:

    “The 1.1 update has a bug. You no longer can select your speakers in the settings section, it just disappeared.”

    After looking into the issue, you’ll be pleased to know they only ‘relocated’ this feature! To get the ‘Speakers’ panel to show simply tap an album cover on the now playing screen. Above the play controls you’ll now see ‘Speakers’, and it’s then just a case of tapping that to get options for your remote speakers – I agree, it’s that well hidden, I would have thought the feature was taken out too!

  • Linguo for iPhone

    Ever needed to say 나는 사과가 즐겁게 하는 약간을 사고 싶다. 당신은 어디에 ë‚´ê°€ 무언가 발견할 수 있는지 아느냐? (I’d like to buy some Apples please. Do you know where I can find any?)

    Well now you can, with Linguo for iPhone … (more…)

  • Buying tracks featured in Apple Ad’s … – [Updated]

    It’s apparent Apple have a certain ‘nack’ of picking up-beat, and fairly original music for the backing of their adverts. Now, I don’t know about you lot, but most times if I like the track, I’ll go in search for it on iTunes and actually buy it! … (more…)
