Whenever someone asks me, “Tim, what games should I get for my iPhone?” the first word out of my mouth is usually “Canabalt.” Now, don’t get me wrong, there are dozens of great games out there, but for such a simple game, Canabalt sure has a lot of replay value. Ever since I purchased this game

There are many iPhone and iPod touch battery status monitoring apps out there in the app store. Those are either too complex or too simple for a normal user. If you want an app just to know what you want to know about your battery, you can check out the StatusViewer app which is available for $0.99 from BonjourYentingLai . StatusViewer has nice visual display of battery indicator with percentage, memory information, disk usage and time remaining for iPhone/iPod touch’s various functions: Standby, Talk (2G & 3G), Internet (3G & Wifi) Video and Audio playback. Also, this app has few special features as a bonus. You can set this app to send you an alert once the battery is fully charged. You can use the Memory broom to free up the memory when the free memory is less than 20 MB. Battery adjustment feature, which is a battery percentage slider bar, let you know the accurate remaining time for all the iPhone operations. The very good part of this app is the single view display of all important information about battery, memory and disk. No need to navigate to many screens but just a click to open the app for the needed information.

iPhone and iPod Touch users already familiar with OstinGames ’ Zepi will appreciate Zepi:Dark , which is one of two new Zepi themes just released. Granted, those with a strong aversion to the macabre or a preference for flowery things will probably prefer Zepi:Spring over Zepi:Dark, but both versions give the game a whole new look and feel. Zepi:Dark features three themes – Metal, Gothic, and Graveyard – to keep the tapping frenzy fresh. If you’re not familiar with Zepi , think BubbleWrap on steroids. The Zepi series features sets of objects that glide on screen and are dispensed of by tapping two or more matching ones. In the case of Zepi:Dark, the objects are relative to its theme and include skulls, eyeballs, vampire teeth, and metal art. Unlike typical match-three to clear games, Zepi doesn’t require the objects to touch. You simply tap on as many of the same object as you can, clearing the way for more without letting the screen fill completely up. Keep an eye out for bonus objects that double points and remember, the more like objects you clear at once, the more points you earn. And you have to be fast or the objects will overtake your screen.(…) Read the rest of Zepi:Dark, The Newest Zepi Theme © AppCraver , 2010. | Zepi:Dark, The Newest Zepi Theme | Get our iPhone Reviews on Facebook & Twitter !
