‘Pirates vs Ninjas vs Zombies vs Pandas’ Gives Angry Birds a Fun for Their Money

by Michael on Feb 23, 2011

If you loved Angry Birds, you’ll definitely love Pirates vs Ninjas vs Zombies vs Pandas (PvNvZvP) (iTunes Link) by PAN Vision AB. This physics-puzzler is an “inspired” version of the popular Angry Birds Series. The mechanics and gameplay are essentially the same but PvNvZvP offers fans of the genre an interesting twist with loads of fun.

PvNvZvP will feature six exceptional campaigns packed with challenging levels. The campaign will pit Pirates, Ninjas, Zombies, or Pandas against each other in a delightful duel to the end. Similar to Angry Birds, you are armed with a cannon and must launch the poor little characters at rickety structures to eliminate all the enemies from the screen… Read More

 

Apple Mulling Over Higher Quality Music For iTunes

by Jeff Benjamin on Feb 23, 2011

If you want fast food, you’re going to sacrifice on the quality of said meal; the same applies to music. Over the years the digital music revolution has indeed made digesting tons of good music easier, but it came at the expense of quality.

Apple is looking to rectify some of the quality issues by potentially allowing the use and download of 24-bit audio files; the current industry standard is 16-bit audio.

What does this mean for users like you and I? Does this mean we’ll end up paying more for our music? Check inside as we mull over the possibilities…

ZAGGsparq Review: the Best Portable Battery Available

by Sebastien on Feb 22, 2011

As a frequent traveler and an iPhone addict, I always worry to run out of batteries in an airport or worse, in the middle of a flight. I’ve tried various options for making sure I would never run out of juice but I never found the right accessory that would fulfill my needs: convenience, ease of use, light weight.

That was until the peeps at Zagg sent me a review copy of their ZAGGsparq, a 2-in-1, or maybe I should say a 3-in-1 accessory for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and virtually any smartphone out there, but we’ll obviously focus on the iPhone part… Read More

 

iPad 2 to Be Unveiled on March 2

by Sebastien on Feb 22, 2011

We’ve heard our fair share of iPad 2 rumors lately, the craziest one being that its release was going to be postponed until June.

Today comes another rumor that I believe to be true. Kara Swisher, one of my least favorite tech writers, announced today on her blog that it seemed clear Apple would announce the iPad next week in San Francisco.

According to several sources close to the situation, the Wednesday date in a little more than a week is firm and will take place in San Francisco, the scene of many such Apple events.

Steve Jobs currently being on a leave of absence, I doubt he will be introducing the new iPad.

 

Man Hates AT&T So Much He Uses a Plasma Cutting Robot to Destroy His iPhone

by Sebastien on Feb 22, 2011

We’d seen iPhones being destroyed by blenders, baseball bats, and microwaves, but this one sets a new standard.

How much do you have to hate AT&T to go that far out of your way to make a point? I guess you have to hate them very very very, very much. The sad part of this video is that the poor iPhone being destroyed has nothing to do with AT&T’s service… Read More

 

Facebook Messenger for iPhone Allows You to Chat And Make Free Audio Calls Through VoIP

by Alex Heath on Feb 22, 2011

A new app called Facebook Messenger has been receiving a lot of attention in the press lately. It is the premiere app from the CrispApp developers.

I was a tad skeptical of Facebook Messenger when I first started reading about the app. There are a great deal of Facebook-related apps in the App Store, and I was curious about what made Facebook Messenger stand out.

Facebook Messenger is a clean and well-designed chat application for Facebook, but that’s not all. The app also allows you to make free audio calls to your Facebook friends straight from your iPhone.

New Report Suggest Verizon iPhone Not Creating Many New iPhone Users

by Jeff Benjamin on Feb 22, 2011

I’ve seen it, and no doubt you’ve seen it. A new iPhone is released and people get excited; people line up hours in advance just to get their hands on the latest goods from Apple.

Then there are the folks that have never even owned an iPhone before; many of them are excited as well because this new release will be their first taste of the iPhone.

My point is, if there’s one thing that the introduction of a new iPhone does, it’s bring excitement to the mobile phone landscape, and guarantee a heaping helping of first time adopters.

Unfortunately, it looks as if the Verizon iPhone 4 didn’t quite accomplish that…

Make Your iPhone’s iPod Look Just Like Windows Phone 7 with Muzik

by Alex Heath on Feb 22, 2011

Awhile back, we showed you a jailbreak theme called “OS7″ that replicated Windows Phone 7′s interface on the iPhone. Some of you installed the theme and played around with it. The theme’s attention to detail and resemblance to Windows Phone 7 was striking.

An app called Muzik, by Dr. Wilson Gaming, allows you to play your iPod music in the style of Windows Phone 7 and the Zune. Muzik recently received some major updates to make it a more formidable clone of the Zune experience.

If, for some reason, you want the ability to replicate the Zune interface on your iPhone, Muzik is about as good as it gets.

by Alex Heath on Feb 21, 2011

Geohot has updated his blog, “Geohot Got Sued” with the results from his first round of donations for his legal fight against Sony.

In case you missed it, Geohot is entering a legal battle with Sony because he cracked the DRM on the PS3. Sony claims that Geohot broke the law by jailbreaking the PS3, and they are seeking financial retribution for Geohot’s exploit.

A few days ago, we posted that Geohot put a plea out to his followers asking for donations via PayPal to fund his legal fees for the upcoming trial with Sony. He has closed the first round of donations from over the weekend, and he made bank.

‘Page2D’ is an iPhone Tweak For Those Who Are Sick of Horizontal Scrolling

by Jeff Benjamin on Feb 21, 2011

“It’s time to go vertical.” No, believe it or not, that’s not a one-liner from the latest Vin Diesel movie.

Page2D is a jailbreak tweak that removes the horizontal scrolling only limitations placed on the iPhone, and outright encourages vertical scrolling.

But is it any good? Take a look inside as we examine the latest iPhone tweak for the vertically challenged…
