Released shortly after the surge of zombie-based games that plagued the AppStore around Halloween, Westbright’s ‘Zombies’ breathes a breath of fresh air and comedy into a somewhat stale genre.
Zombies is a turn-based game where your aim is to, rather unsurprisingly, kill the zombies. This is not, however, the usual gore-laden shooter commonly associated with zombie games but, rather, an amusing little gem that is so addictive in it’s simplicity. How many other zombie-based games have the lead character saying in their best British accent ‘oh dear’ when devoured by the living dead?!
There are a lot of race car fans out there, and the pinnacle of car racing is Formula 1. Currently the 2009 season has been dominated by Brawn. Now is your chance to drive a virtual Brawn F1 car and experience the magic of Ross Brawn and his engineering team with the Brawn GP Racing iPhone Game developed by FISHLABS.
Not only do you get the gameplay you also have the chance to win a real Mercedes SL sports car. Check out www.brawngpcontest.com.
The game is available on the Apple AppStore for $3.99 or £2.39.
The iPhone Dev Team are continually playing cat and mouse with the Apple developers providing access to an open platform and the ability to use any SIM in the iPhone. This is termed as Jailbreaking and Unlocking. Although they had perfected the process for iPhone OS3.0 on the iPhone 3GS they were not going to release it until Apple launched the OS3.1 software. This is because Apple would work out the vulnerability used and close it. The release was pre-empted by the purplera1n jailbreak release using the same vulnerability so there was no reason not to release it.
There are 3 basic steps to Jailbreaking and Unlocking your iPhone 3GS, all of which are pretty simple and can easily be performed by anyone who is reasonably computer literate. I did this on my Macbook Pro. I found it really handy to have WiFi connectivity to download the unlock application over the air.
Warning Before you start this process be aware that you could potentially ‘brick’ your iPhone and this is a risk that you must assume yourself. There is no responsibility or comeback on any of the sites or application developers. Continue reading »
If you are a sailor and want to keep an electronic version of your logbook then RockAByte may have the answer for you with the JourSail application available in the AppStore. This app basically allows you to record pertinent data of your voyage, and then send it via email to friends and family.
The GPS and iPhone clock are used to timestamp and log position with each entry. Each entry can be displayed on an interactive map. I assume that this is over the wireless connection which, of course will not be available at sea…
Available for £3.49 or $5.99 this seems to be somewhat overpriced for the functionality provided.
How do you wake up in the morning? I use the alarm on my iPhone, but sometimes that is not enough to wake me. iLuv have the solution to that problem with the new iLuv iMM153 alarm clock.
iLuv iPod alarm clock
The iLuv iMM153 is not just an alarm clock, but it also has a vibrating extension to place in your bed. When the alarm goes off in the morning your bed gently shakes and wakes you up. Neat… Now all we need is it’s opposite: a rocking device to put you to sleep at night.
The device also has a universal dock to play and charge the iPod, with integrated amplifier and radio. There are 2 alarm settings so if you and your partner get up at different times you do not need separate alarm clocks.
The iLuv iMM153 is compatible with iPods only, there is no mention of the iPhone so can only be used with the iPod touch. With a price tag of $60 it will be available in July. Continue reading »
After the excitement of the iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade coming out yesterday I decided to upgrade my iPod Touch. After connecting to iTunes I was met with a screen telling me I needed to pay for the upgrade.
Woah hold on are iPod Touch users second class Apple citizens? This was something that Apple had kept very quiet in the run up to the launch of the new OS, but I suppose alarm bells should have rung when there was no beta software for the iPod Touch.
The upgrade costs $9.99 on the US AppStore or £5.99 on the UK one.
