We've been hearing about the infamous iControlPad for nearly three years now. We first reported on the accessory back in 2008, when it was still in early stages of production. Then we didn't hear a peep about the product until the Summer of this year.
The iControlPad was soft-launched back in July, but it still had some major hurdles to overcome. The inventors didn't have any major distribution partners, and third party compatibility was non-existent. But that has all changed with ThinkGeek's support...
It seems we just can't get enough of those Angry Birds, with developer Rovio announcing that the game has been downloaded a whopping 500 million times worldwide.
The half a billion downloads are made up of the three Angry Birds games currently available: Angry Birds, Angry Birds Rio, and Angry Birds Seasons.
Key to the game's success is its cross-platform nature, with Angry Birds available to download on most platforms you could care to name, with iOS, Android, web, Mac, and Windows all present, and versions also set to come to the Nokia Asha 300 and 303 phones...
You may have noticed a colorful game by the name of Whale Trail moving up the charts in the App Store lately. Developed by ustwo, Whale Trail is a unique take on a familar genre of slide-scrollers that have continued to do so well on the iPhone and iPad.
Like Tiny Wings, Whale Trail has you tapping and holding your screen as you fly through a beautifully designed universe. After only being on the App Store for a little over a week, Whale Trail has already been given the Game Of The Week title by Apple...
Nintendo reported a net loss of $923 million for the first six months of the fiscal year, revealing the drastic effect that the company's stance on mobile games has produced. Despite the fact that there has been huge consumer demand for Nintendo titles on mobile platforms like iOS, the company has been adamant that it doesn't plan on porting its games to mobile devices like the iPhone.
This last report was the first loss that Nintendo has seen in 30 years. This is believed to be caused by a number of factors, including the economy and rapidly slowing sales of Nintendo's Wii console.
Apart from the weekly app sales we see from developers, there are other ways to get good deals on games. One way, for instance, is to go to Starbucks. If you don't mind their coffee, the retailer gives away free apps to their customers.
But what if you don't like coffee? Well then you could check Apple's App Store Facebook site. According to TouchArcade, the company has started giving away free app promo codes to Facebook users that "Like" the App Store's page...
With Halloween right around the corner, you can expect a few developers to run some massive sale on their iOS games.

The Secret of Chateau de Moreau from 4:33 Creative Labs promises adventure, intrigue, and mystery with a side of puzzle-solving.
Story driven adventure games have their advantages, but if they’re not well-executed, they can leave gamers dissatisfied. The question isn’t whether or not Secret of Chateau de Moreau can work, it’s whether or not the devs had the talent and skill to make it work...

Which is faster? Well, obviously the iPhone 4S is faster, but you might be surprised at just how much faster.
In certain areas, namely gaming, the iPhone 4S blows the iPhone 4 out of the water. In other areas, the differences are surprisingly less discernable.
We've pitted the former heavyweight champ against the newcomer, and we've documented the results on video. Who wins? Watch and see...
Now that the highly anticipated iPhone event has come and gone, it's time to start looking to the future. Pundits and analysts seem to have mixed feelings about Apple's latest handset, but Tim Cook and company are just getting started.
While the iPhone 4S is still an amazing piece of hardware, it was clear that software was the star of yesterday's show. But among the new Cards app and Find My Friends, one software feature was grossly overlooked: AirPlay Mirroring...
It's football season here in the US, and every Sunday fans gather around the TV to watch their favorite NFL teams go to work. But a lot of folks may not know that it's football season in Europe, too.
