Serious Fumes Stunt Racer Update Transforms the Game

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

We reviewed Fumes Stunt Racer in October and didn’t enjoy the game as much as we hoped, finding problems with the speed, handling and menu systems which made the game frustrating to play.  The developers recognized the game had some issues and chatted about their plans for version 1.1 with us, so we’ve been waiting

Unforgettable iTunes Announcement on the Way from Apple

Monday, November 15th, 2010

Apple posted an early-morning message on Monday teasing consumers with the promise of something new to come for the iTunes Store. “Tomorrow is just another day. That you’ll never forget,” reads the message on Apple’s home page. “Check back here tomorrow for an exciting announcement from iTunes.” This has already been a big year for iTunes. The store earned more than $1 billion in revenue last quarter, launched a new version in September and unveiled social networking with Ping. What else could be coming for the largest digital music store in the U.S.? As always, there are few clues from the tight-lipped company pointing towards what that announcement might be. But, that hasn’t stopped tech sites from offering up their opinions.

Pulse News Reader Now Yours for Free!

Monday, November 15th, 2010

Pulse News Reader is one of the iPad apps I use on a daily basis and it was worth every penny of its original price.  Disillusioned with Flipboard and not a Google Reader user, I wanted something that brought together feeds from sites I read regularly in an attractive and simple way.  Pulse turned out

Monday, November 15th, 2010

Apple’s own mobile advertising service, iAds, has been a US-only service since its launch with the iPhone 4, but that’s not for want of trying, as the rollout to other parts of the world has been delayed as they sign clients. Now though, Apple plan to launch iAds in Europe, allowing advertisers

Monday, November 15th, 2010

Welcome to another collection of iPhone and iPad related videos that have sprung up on the Internet over the past seven days.  First off is an excellent example of things not to do – the grilling of an iPhone 4, an HTC Surround and a G2.  Such wanton phone destruction always makes us a

iOS 4.2 No Show Dulls Weekend Buzz Everywhere

Friday, November 12th, 2010

It always sounded too good to be true that we would have the highly anticipated iOS 4.2 update to play with all over the weekend, as despite many sources saying it would appear today, our exisiting firmware remains annoyingly up-to-date. However, these rumors could well have been true, as reports say that a bug which caused
