Following up our previous post about the $3 million iPhone heist a few weeks ago, it appears we know where the booty ended up: The Russian black market. The iPhones, known as “Europeans”, are being offered in 100 unit batches at huge discounts. According to the Russian site iPhones.ru (via Google Translate): Today, several vendors with a

A recent post over at The Street is running with the headline “Apple iPhone May Go to T-Mobile Next”, except they don’t actually state that anywhere in their article. A more accurate headline would be “Analyst Predicts iPhone Will Hit T-Mobile Next”, because that’s really all they’re running on. They don’t have any word that

For some reason logic games tend to dominate the iPhone or iTouch world. Perhaps it’s because of their easy controls, simple premises, or just because they’re fun. Nintaii is a perfect example of a logic game that blends brainpower with pure addictiveness. Nintaii has an extremely basic premise, your goal is to get the large stone

As has been said here and many other places, one can only imagine that Apple was ready to do battle with the Droid and that they were merely waiting for the release of their competitions top product before finalizing their latest version. It would be a good move as they would know what they were

While it was personally never seen, there were rumors that a porn app had briefly made its way into the iPhone App Store. Apple was fairly quick to rectify the situation and get it removed before it caused any problems for them. Wanting to keep the proper image, they dared not allow a porn app

Rocket Bird by Be Tomorrow is a simple, silly, yet whimsical game that features a bird, a rocket, and many country farm obstacles. The app presents a clear, simple objective – fly as far as you can. For a limited time (reportedly only through today 11/30) Rocket Bird is available for free in the App Store. If you get a chance to grab it up, it’s quite a steal. Rocket Bird is really a bird with a rocket strapped to his back blasting across a country landscape. Players aid him in his flight by controlling his left and right motions with a tilt of the iPhone or iPod touch. It really couldn’t be a simpler game and the concept, combined with ease of control, makes Rocket Bird a terrific little casual game enhanced by colorful animation. Taking full advantage of the accelerometer feature, Rocket Bird was designed to be accurately responsive. With three levels of difficulty, players can challenge themselves to greater distances and more complicated flights. The overall objective is to travel the greatest distance possible before crashing Rocket Bird into one of the many obstacles, such as barns, split rail fences, cows, and trees. Keep an eye on his rocket power, displayed on the right and pick up stars for added rocket fuel. Try to beat your personal best or compare your distance with that of other players via the global leader board. Rocket Bird hits the mark of a casual, pick up and play game in every aspect – it’s easy to learn, quick and fun to play, and has a simple objective. Of course the colorful animation and accompanying in-flight tune are great additions. For free, Rocket Bird is a hidden gem. Even once it again becomes a paid app, it will remain a great little casual game for players of all ages. rating: 8/10 app_name: Rocket Bird © AppCraver , 2009. | Grab Rocket Bird While You Can | Get our iPhone Reviews on Facebook & Twitter !

Looking for a festive game to put you and your iPhone in the holiday spirit? Santa’s Run is a seemingly simple game that lets you lend Santa a hand by delivering gifts to homes around the world. Featuring two different mini-games spanning four different parts of the world, Santa’s Run is all about spreading holiday cheer by throwing presents at chimneys and doors. If this is anything like what Santa goes through, it’s no wonder Broken Thumbs Apps felt he could use a little help. Playing Santa’s Run is a simple concept, but somewhat difficult to master. By touching the screen and aiming presents at the appropriate homes, presents fly through the air and hopefully hit their mark. It sounds simple, but taking into account the varying wind speeds and the power behind the present toss, many presents may not reach the homes at all. The key is to pay attention to the power meter, represented by the blue, yellow, and red power meter rings. Yet, just when you think you have it figured out, those howling westward winds will throw you for a loop. Santa’s Run can be played in two modes – Around the World and Endless Delivery. Around the World features four distinct areas of the globe and supplies players with the required number of presents to be delivered at each home. Endless delivery allows players to select their favorite location and master their present-launching trajectory. The game keeps track of your accuracy and allows players to compare high scores with other players. Though you don’t get the help of Donner, Blitzen, Cupid and the gang, Santa’s Run features quick but challenging gameplay accompanied by a catchy and original holiday jingle, all of which are intended to do no more than supply a few minutes of stress-free holiday cheer and entertainment. rating: 8/10 app_name: Santa’s Run © AppCraver , 2009. | Become Santa’s Helper with Santa’s Run | Get our iPhone Reviews on Facebook & Twitter !
