Liza for iPhone or Personal Trainer? You Decide.

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Liza , which is available in two versions — Pro and Lite —, is coined as a revolutionary fitness tool described as “breakthrough app measures muscle power” in its press release. The concept of Liza is this: by employing some complicated algorithms in conjunction with the accelerometer function, the device is calibrated and then picks up specific measurements of muscle strength during two different forms of weight training exercise.

Rule the Lot with Park Rush HD

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Park Rush HD will have you frantically racing through a parking lot to park and retrieve cars for customers with a short fuse.

The line slowly grows with people—many of whom look the same. Yet another line begins to appear on the other side of the screen as customers return to reclaim their car. Unfortunately for you, the drivers exhibit in Park Rush HD are quick to lose their cool. If their cars are not returned quickly enough, your customers begin to turn red and emit steam from their boiling noggins.

Chess Crusades iPad App Review – Fair Fight?

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

When I was at school one of my best friends was a bit of a chess whizz.  He lived and breathed the game, referencing the Grand Masters and their intricate strategic moves, eventually becoming something of a friend/nemesis to the Headmaster, who ran the school’s Chess Club.  I was never good enough to beat him
