Illusion Labs, the developers of the hugely popular apps Labyrinth and iPint now comes up with a kind of a first in the mobile gaming space. in their forthcoming “Touchgrind” app they have simulated the game of skating to the point where you do “virtually” everything with the skateboard, albeit you use your agile fingers and thus get the physics of skating without taking the stumbles that every real life skater takes.
The gaming environment includes ramps, boxes and rails and off course the snow.
The other great thing is the player freedom. Its smart physics engine allows a high degree of freedom for Read More...
Seems that today’s rumor machine is milling out buzzes overtime. With the Apple September scheduled for today, it will be easy to miss out on another rumor that is doing the rounds -the "fact" that there might be a HTC November to follow suit soon.
It seems that the HTC Dream G1 might go live soon in Britain. In the last quarter of 2008, that is.
It remains to be seen though that whether the HTC-T-Mobile-Android paranoid triode would eclipse the iPhone-o-mania.
Yet another Apple event. And yet another round of controversies. Rather say rumor. Rumor, buzz, chitchat, word of the mouth. Those synonyms will and do gush forth every time.
What is Steve Jobs going to pull out from the back of his Jeans? An iPod nano? What is he going to display on the giant projector screen? A new firmware? The iTumes unlimited? New series of Macs?
If you are an Apple fan, you sure have heard these stuff. Even if not, you cannot possibly escape the rumors. Google has already bombarded us with enough of those stuffs.
We are not trying to speculate. Nobody, Read More...
iPhone and the mushrooming world of products around it have continued to surprise and baffle you. for instance, you've wondered how beautiful it would be to have an odorless iPhone case? This iSkin Solo iPhone case is:
hot and cold temperature resistant, odorless and protects the iPhone against impact, scratches, dirt, dust and other hazards.
Quite environment conscious and sleek looking also. And also colorful (comes in black, white, red and blue varieties) However, I am a bit stunned with the concept of having an odorless case. Did you ever have a smelly iPhone after a day’s workout?

By tracking the unique 15 digit IMEI sequence, Apple Finance Board (AFB) and Investor Village’s AAPL Sanity board have collaborated to publish a project that shows an astonishing iPhone stat.
According to the report (available as a Google Doc), Apple has manufactured 5,649,000 iPhone 3Gs by the end of August.
Add to that the 1 million iPhone 3G sold in the first weekend after its fever pitch launch.
And add to that the sale of 2.4 million iPhone first generation units till the first half of the year.
Looks like the “i”-insanity is going to continue.
Are you a developer pissed of with Apple’s horrible SDK? (And off course the great cult of mystery and secrecy?) Of course yes. What’s more Steve Jobs and his cult won’t listen to you and keep the SDK as tightly guarded as possible.
However, the other Steve is much more sensible. After cutting in line to buy the iPhone 3G, Steve Wozniak has now “pwned” his iPhone and has showed it off with characteristic panache, displaying a disgruntled Steve Jobs image in the boot screen replacement that is delivered the process of “pwn”ing.
This allows full read/write filesystem access and installation of Read More...
