Air Display iPad App Review – Space Ace

Monday, September 13th, 2010

Unlike games, utility apps are a far more niche product, where they’re the best thing ever created for certain individuals or of absolutely no use to others.  Air Display falls neatly into that category, as it’s an application which lets you use your iPad or iPhone as your computer’s second monitor. To use Air Display you’ll

BASIC Returning to C64 iPhone App?

Saturday, September 11th, 2010

The Commodore 64 app from Manomio was in and out of the App Store last year, mainly due to the ability to access BASIC from inside, something the Apple approval team took a very dim view of.  Since all that was sorted out, the C64 has kept its position inside the store and continued to

Wrapsol iPhone 4 Accessory Review

Friday, September 10th, 2010

The iPhone 4, just like any top-end smartphone, is an expensive piece of kit and therefore worth protecting.  A case does this very well, but what about for those who want to use their iPhones naked, admiring the design as it was intended?  Well, with all the problems that have arisen due to the placement

Find Happiness with Fastlane HD

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Fastlane HD is like a scaled down version of The Sims. While it has some good moments overall it lacks the excitement or innovation found in similar lifestyle games. In Fastlane HD you travel through your town to try and build happiness for your life (as if doing this for real isn’t hard enough). This involves getting and showing up to a job, hitting the grocery store, dressing appropriately and heading back to your pad for some sleep. The more you regularly undertake these necessary life functions the greater your chance of advancing in your job, getting more education and improving your overall happiness. If you slack off on any of these details your overall success will suffer. For example if you neglect to eat you may lose time to recover. Pass on sleeping and prepare to be sent to the doctor for treatment (and of course pay a nice little bill). Ditch out of work and you won’t be able to make any money; which means not paying rent or buying food.(…) Read the rest of Find Happiness with Fastlane HD All App Reviews © AppCraver.com, 2010. | Find Happiness with Fastlane HD | Best iPad Apps | Best Free Apps

Apple Publish App Store Guidelines for Developers, Relax Rules and Provide Review Board

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Apple have obviously been listening to the criticism of their app submission process, resulting in the publication of a set of guidelines, a key reversal on a previous rule and the creation of an MPAA-style App Review Board, where disgruntled developers can voice their concerns directly to Apple, instead of to the press. Probably the biggest

Some Hope for Jailbreakers Wanting to Run iOS 4.1?

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

The warning sent by the iPhone Dev Team was pretty clear, upgrade to iOS 4.1 and risk losing your jailbreak and unlock forever.  This is due to Apple changing the modem baseband and although this could be designed to stop iPhone owners from jailbreaking their device so easily in the future, it hasn’t stopped a

An Evening With the iPhone 3G Running iOS 4.1

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

My iPhone 3G suffered under the control of iOS 4, its sprightly performance choked away by unseen hands, turning what was a faithful companion into a shadow of its former self.  Spotlight was turned off, apps removed and hard resets performed, but nothing woke the device from its slumber. Any vows not to rush into upgrading
