REVIEWS!
Scott:
Title: Fore (golf Game) – 2.99
Concept: Top down golf game.
Graphics & Sound: Graphics and sound are just fine! Music is horrible.
Control & Interface: HORRIBLE controls. Never really know how things are going to go. They should patch.
Gameplay: Great golf idea, great perspective, great concept for a quick pick up game, terrible controls.
Extras: With local Peer-to-Peer multi-player you can also enjoy the thrill of real time competition with your friends. Plus+ enabled, add friends, access leader boards, earn Plus+ awards.
Score: 2.5 stars
Title: Shoutcast Radio – Free
Concept: Streaming of thousands of Shoutcast audio servers.
Sound: Same quality as using a PC for this or whatever. Various streams with various speeds.
Control & Interface: Basic, nothing fancy, gets the job done. Favorites, popular picks, search-able, etc.
Gameplay: NA
Extras: NA
Score: 3.5 stars
Eric:
Title: Eliminate Pro – Free
Concept: FPS
Graphics & Sound: Good graphics, fast and fluid
Control & Interface: Takes a bit to get use to, but once you get a hang of it…it’s pretty tight. Only complaint is getting stuck in certain places- like overhangs
Gameplay: Quick online matches with strangers and/or friends. Shoot em up, pick-up credits along with power-ups, earn credits to upgrade and buy new armor and weapons.
Extras: Uses the + Plus system to track achievement.
Cons: Can only earn credits if you have energy, you can use up your energy after 4 or so matches, then have to wait about 2 hours for Refill…but can spend real money to refill energy bar. Is a level cap on upgrades for weapons and armor so you have to actually play and level to get the best out of your gear.
Score 4 stars
Title: Fling .99ยข
Concept: Puzzle
Graphics & Sound: Good graphics, fast and fluid
Control & Interface: Simple controls, just have to flick furry balls
Gameplay: Object of the game is to flick all the balls off the board so you only have one ball remaining, knock other balls off the board by “Flinging” other balls at them…you can only fling up, down, left and right. Can’t fling a ball unless it hits another ball. Gets tricky after awhile.
Extras: Has online leader board and 2 modes Arcade and Challenge.
Score 4 stars
All that and segments, your calls, and emails too!! Enjoy the episode!

Looking for the backup toggle script in the show notes.
Just so you guys know, if you setup Gmail for push using Google Sync…deleting your messages in the Mail app is equivalent to Archiving in Gmail.
Um, I think you guys were looking at the specs for an older Droid phone, like the one by HTC. The Motorola one, the one all the commercials are for, has 16GB internal memory.
So Eric started to review Fling and I had this weird “is he really saying balls like that” then I started laughing mildly, when I noticed Scott was also laughing that was the end and I just cracked. Awesome! I had a good laugh.
Oh btw there is a Fling free which IMO is good enough, not sure if the full version is worth the buck.
Just wanted to mention the app Tweetmyface which allows you to update Twitter, facebook, and myspace at the same time
I should just point out that the latest version of tweetdeck can also update both twitter and facebook. I haven’t tried it so I don’t know how well it works though.
Did the Ringtone of the week die?
So… for the caller whose poker games keep getting interrupted by phone calls… can’t you just turn airplane mode on and use a wireless network? Or does he want to play over 3G?
Also, Selective Twitter Status (http://apps.facebook.com/selectivetwitter/) is great if you want to update Facebook selectively from Twitter. Just include the #fb tag if you want your Tweets to update your Facebook status.
So I got ShoutRadio and did a search for Cisco Kid and came up empty, tried looking at lots of stations and musta misssed it, so Scott where’s the Kid, Lone Ranger, Shadow, etc.
