Incipio as of now has been the only company I have entrusted with protecting my investment. For many of iPhone fans, the iPhone is just an accessory they use on a daily basis. I for one only have limited funds and must protect my money as well as possible. Like some avid iPhone users, I do jailbreak and unlock phones for sale on ebay. So with every new iPhone that hits the market, I must ensure that my phone will stay in tip top condition before I unload the phone for sale prior to the next iPhone release. With explaining my financial situations, you know get a glimpse of how much effort went into finding a well balanced case that will stand the test of time.
Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the more popular gaming franchises for Sega, so naturally it was just a matter of time before the company made it available in the App Store. Sonic the Hedgehog for iPhone and iPod touch retails for $5.99, which costs more than traditional apps, but seems to be well worth it. The side scrolling game looks as if you figured out a way to wire a Sega Genesis to the iPhone, which for many is good thing. The graphics are well done and the gameplay is very good. As some of our iPhone forum members noted, the gameplay does experience some frame rate issues. Like many iPhone games, the touchscreen d-pad controls can leave you wanting physical buttons. Sega did not use the accelerometer and I'm guessing it's to allow for more immediate control of Sonic. If Sonic is a success, perhaps future incarnations of the Hedgehog would provide end users the option to select between the accellerometer and the standard on-screen d-pad controls.
Before the Sony PSP and even games like PacMan were handheld games like Mattel Football or if you were lucky Coleco Quarterback. Both LED handheld sports games that back in the late 70’s would generate the kind of excitement seen by kids today who get a Wii. If you are looking to rekindle a bit of yesteryear or looking to brush up on your handheld video game history, you are in luck. LED Football for the iPhone is a remake of the old classic Mattel Football handheld.
Joost dropped a little black Friday magic in the App Store late Friday night with the release of their new mobile offering. For those of you not familiar with Joost, they've been around for a while now with a desktop application, and a range of media they've licensed including old media and new. Now with their iPhone app they're rushing into the burgeoning mobile environment, and I for one welcome them.
To access or transfer files between devices using your iPhone you have quite a few options at the app store. Lets take a look at six iPhone apps allowing you to access or transfer your files from iPhone to iPhone or from iPhone to your Mac or Desktop. App to app the list of capabilities are in wide range between Media Share, DropCopy, GoogleDocs, iStorage, AirSharing and Briefcase.
Let's take a look at three VNC apps for the iPhone, that run from free to $24.99. Mocha Lite, Mocha VNC and Jaadu VNC apps all allow you to remotely access your Mac or PC's GUI, taking control of your desktop, mouse and keyboard.
If you'd like to manage your torrents while on the go, access your desktop files, or remotely turn on the lights for your dog using an X10 configuration, VNC apps are the ideal solution. Basic setup is similar among all three applications making configuration a breeze. VNC apps also allow iPhone users to view flash sites through the desktop's internet browser, although it doesn't support audio or video. Video is displayed but unwatchable. All three apps can view flash sites however there are noticeable gaps between apps in performance.
The Incase Slider for iPhone 3G is the latest case from the company that offers an assortment of laptop and iPhone cases. It’s composed of two pieces of hard plastic that when joined together form a hard case for the iPhone 3G. I found the design to be in keeping with the overall look and feel of the iPhone 3G. Not unlike the iPhone, the Incase Slider features tapered edges keeping the overall style of the phone. Even the cutouts are well done, as they angle inward. A small incase insignia graces the back of the case and I didn’t mind since it’s actually a pretty nice logo. It would be pretty cool if they were to offer a version with a cutout of the Apple logo, but then it would be susceptible to scratches and that I guess defeats the purpose of buying a case in the first place.
Tim Harper Tried to use the Purplera1n jailbreak, didn't work. Four tries is enough for me tonight. I will just wait for the Dev-Team to release theirs.
