Alarm Clock Pro Works Like a Charm

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

Amongst my favorite apps for iPhone are the truly purposeful ones that render the iPhone a convenient multi-purpose device. Granted, a good many practical utilities come as default installations but the free and paid alternatives for some of them offer a few better features. If you’re in the market for a full-featured alarm clock, Alarm Clock Pro is reminiscent of your digital bedside alarm and has an array of features that make it worth a dollar. With customizable options, such as brightness levels, optional flashlight and display color and style, Alarm Clock Pro suits all tastes.

Pinball Reviews: Hi-Def Apps Sure Play a Mean Pinball

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Pinball Review — Geezer alert: I remember real pinball . I know you can still find a freestanding machine here or there in a turnpike rest-stop or an arcade. But I remember row after row of tables lining our arcades, bowling alleys, and other dens of iniquity, before the Galaga and Donkey Kong consoles stole their thunder. Over time gamers migrated to couches and desk chairs, where you could not bump, grind, and shake like an epileptic in mid-coitus. Pinball was dead, except as a casual time-waster on your dumb phone.

For full immersion, throw on a pair of 3-D glasses and flinch when the ball hits the glass. About that tenth of a point: You do have to slide both thumbs to toggle from zoom view to full-table. I hate pinball zoom views, but at least you can escape.
