Personally I don't like this game, but it was recommended by official, Apple-owned, Twitter account of App Store so I bought it (price: $0.99). This app has been published by Chillingo, who has many games in the App Store. So it is not an indy game per se, but credits show that, in fact, some small company developed it. And as you can see above they used ShiVa 3D game engine (a multiplatform engine), so this game might come to other platforms too. Let's take a look at this game! First thing that makes me angry is that this app insists on you being signed-into Game Center, and if you are signed...

Why iPhone is the best smartphone in the world? Not just because of some third party apps that are not available for other platforms, but because of Apple's own apps and services unavailable for other platforms never ever forever. Here I am reviewing iTunes U. This can help self-learn just about anything - and that is not available for other smartphone platforms. And never will be. Recently, Apple decoupled some apps. For example, "Newstand" is now a separate app. Similarly, iTunes U was previously a part of standard iTunes for iOS, but now it is a separate iBooks-like app. There is "book...

Back in the good ole days when I was a happy Palm os user, I had an account on Handango. I bought hundreds of quality apps from them. From Agendus to Pocket Tunes to Documents to Go - I plunked down my cash to support my growing habit. When it was evident that Palm was going the way of the dinosaur, I switched to Windows Mobile. And I gave Handango even more of my money. All the while, happy Blackberry users were doing likewise, and buying apps left and right, increasing the purchased apps database on Handango. Handango loved its customers, and loved the developers as well. How many of you remember...

Apple officially launched iCloud merely few days ago, so we are in the early days of this new revolutionary development. While this comes together with iOS5 it will probably shape the future of Apple products, just as iTunes did. Yes, iCloud is a major technological breakthrough by Apple - on the scale of iTunes. So what is iCloud? iCloud is not just storage (5GB free, more storage available for purchase if desired), but also complex synchronization, backup, and geolocation system. One interesting thing is that you cannot setup iCloud simply by going to iCloud.com, but you must setup iCloud...

Every night before going to bed, I place my iPhone on the charger and watch the little sync icon come alive. Yes, iOS 5 will sync your iPhone or iPad to your computer without wires, and without any user input. It's all automatic. I have not plugged my iPhone into my Mac in several weeks now, and it's an easy thing to get used to. And then I needed a photo I'd taken with my iPhone camera. Surely I didn't have to plug my iPhone into my Mac just to transfer the photo? So I emailed it to myself. But there had to be a better way since you can't actually retrieve photos from your iTunes backup/sync. A...

As those of you who follow me on Twitter know, I recently got both a Mac and stuck in New Jersey for a week. Since I hadn't expected the latter, I was getting impatient about transferring my music (all 8 GB of it!) to my Mac so I could start syncing it to my iPhone. While I've frequently seen the question asked in forums, I'd never really paid attention. How can you copy your music back to your computer from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod? Yes, the best way is still to have a backup and just copy it to the new computer. I had a backup - but it was on a network server that would have required days...
