I Do Not Hit, It Hits All By Itself – Bruce Lee Dragon Warrior Out Now

Monday, May 24th, 2010

While the quote above may have worked for Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon, it’s not likely to be of much use when you come to play the game!  Don’t let this give you the impression that Dragon Warrior is just another fighting game though, as a lot of effort and thought has obviously gone

iPhonefreak hands-on: Speck CandyShell case for the iPad

Monday, May 24th, 2010

A little while back, Speck was kind enough to send over one of the CandyShell cases, and I had been using it daily since the iPad 3G was released. And given its been a few weeks now I wanted to write up a quick post with some thoughts. In short, I really like the case. But

Mood Detector – Touch & Discover, the Cheapest Option!

Monday, May 24th, 2010

App name: Mood Detector – Touch & Discover, the Cheapest Option! Release Date: May 7th Category: Entertainment Demo video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4AWtS0lMgw App page: http://schvarts.com/our-apps Link to App Store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mood-detector-touch-discover/id370802943?mt=8 The app works like this: You touch the screen; The app processes your touch; And informs your mood. Mood Detector is a great way to get people together. It is ideal for showing to friends. Your friend will touch the screen and the mood will show up. It’s a very funny experience. Everyone laughs. Use with the elbow. How can the iPhone do such a thing? The algorithms we developed leverage several features of the iPhone, such as the built-in accelerometer. We also track other parameters, and we based our algorithms on research. It is scientifically proven that the way we touch can reveal what we’re feeling. Difference from Other Apps: Lowest possible price (some cost more than $1); Wide variety of moods (few moods is a common complaint of similar apps); Amazing accuracy (most other similar apps are random). Best performance, no bugs whatsoever (some have bugs, according to reviews); User-friendly (some reviews complain other similar apps are very confuse) State-of-the-art graphics;

Jumpa – App Review

Monday, May 24th, 2010

The first time I played Jumpa (iTunes link), I hated it.  I played for five minutes or so, did ever-so badly, didn’t care and hit the Home button.  It stopped and I was glad.  I was also wrong.  The next day I returned to Jumpa and wondered why I had hated it so much the

The iPad Makes its F1 Debut

Monday, May 24th, 2010

While catching up with the Monaco F1 Grand Prix this weekend, I couldn’t help but notice that BBC Sport presenter Jake Humphrey had replaced that staple of all TV hosts, the clipboard and pen, with a far more modern option – an Apple iPad. During the post-race discussions, Jake put his iPad to good use and

Seesmic Twitter app offering Evernote integration

Monday, May 24th, 2010

The Seesmic Twitter app was announced last Friday, and since then I have not gotten to spend much time with it since its not iPad friendly. Which means that I missed one of the features that I would consider key — the Evernote integration. This was pointed out over on the Evernote Blog, who note that; “Twitter

It looks like Steve Jobs has answered some more email. This latest is dealing with the recent announcements that came out of Google I/O, which seem to have done more than a few good things for Android. Yup, for those not following the Android scene quite as close, Google announced Froyo (version 2.2) which added

Friday, May 21st, 2010

One of the most memorable scenes from the original Star Wars trilogy – the battle on the ice planet of Hoth – has been turned into an iPhone game by UK developers FluffyLogic, and it’s looking like a great entry into the Star Wars iPhone genre! FluffyLogic have taken the decision to turn this epic battle
