Ladies and gents, your new iPhone

April 19th, 2010 — 11:00am

Looks like the real deal.

The prototype was lost in a bar in Redwood City, and was sat inside a custom case which makes it look just like a 3GS from the outside, complete with custom cut-outs for reaching the new hardware controls. Apple certainly wanted to keep this one a secret. We believe that this might be the biggest leak from Apple that we have ever seen. It is also a hot-looking iPhone. Keep reading for more pictures of Apple?s new iPhone.

Read away and weap! Looks like I’m gonna have to upgrade again this year. :)

Windows 95 running on your iPad? EEEEK!

April 12th, 2010 — 11:36am

How long does it usually take you to implement a new idea? An day, a week, a month? Well, for Wert.cx from Kama Games, it only took 2 hours (plus a bit more to tinker with the keyboard) to get the world?s most/least (choose whichever necessary) favourite OS ? Windows 95 ? running on his brand new iPad.

This is pretty crazy. Check it out.

ZENONIA? 2 in Review

April 9th, 2010 — 11:32am

As a true heir to the Zenonia title, the sequel is a classic Zelda-inspired Action/RPG game. The story is a set a few decades after the original. After a brief time of peace and harmony, human nature prevailed and lust, greed and envy spread like wildfire. The gods, outraged at this have sent a cleansing rain that wiped the memories of everyone, allowing people to literally start anew and atone for their sins. In the aftermath the evil, imprisoned by Regret is striving to get out and take back control of the world. And for all of you storyline following fans ? gather your patience in advance cause the cutscenes are long, and I mean really long

Read the whole review right here. While yer there, make sure to book mark TouchMyApps! Gonna be hearing a lot from them in the coming weeks. :)

The Ringtone you’ve been waiting for…

March 12th, 2010 — 1:05am

So here is the highly requested Derp compilation ringtone…mind you that Garageband only allows you to export 40 second of the ringtone and anyways your VM will pick-up before the 40 seconds is over. So unfortunately I couldn’t fit everyone’s “Derp” in there.

Enjoy…download it here.

Apple is feeling a little litigious these days…

March 5th, 2010 — 10:06am

For the month of February 2010, Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone controlled 63.7 percent of the mobile web consumption market. Android phones accounted for 15.2 percent, and the Blackberry had a 9.2 percent share. Obviously, Apple’s still the big dog in the yard. But when you look at it over time, it becomes a tad more troubling for the iPhone. Ever since the Android phone debuted in September 2008, the iPhone’s market share has steadily dropped from the low 70s to where it is today. The Blackberry has more or less stayed flat at 10 percent. But after plateauing for a short spell, the Android operating system began a steadily rise starting last fall, as more and more phones came onto the market. The trend seems pretty clear: the more companies offer to sell Android phones, the more people will buy them.

Thought it was an interesting take in this article. Check it out and share your thoughts.

Plants vs. Zombies Top-Selling iPhone Game Launch Ever

February 26th, 2010 — 10:38am

This does NOT come as much of a surprize to me, but I think it’s a great sign of things to come from PopCap.  Clearly the iPhone represents a gold mine for them, and we will do nothing but benefit from the great content that flows from them on a regular basis.  Here is a clip:

And according to publisher PopCap Games, the $2.99 mobile zombie-zapper is officially a mega-hit, selling over 300,000 copies in just nine days. That’s a new record for the App Store, as is the game’s revenue haul of over $1 million in gross sales. The game hit number one in “units sold” and “top grossing” categories on Apple’s App Store charts inside 24 hours of launching on February 15, then managed to hold the top spot until yesterday.

Read the whole thing here. I say, viva la PopCap.
