Posted on 30 November 2007 by Chris Davies
If there's one thing I love, it's games with non-traditional graphics. So many titles these days rely on "almost looks real!" true-to-life renders, often at the expense of gameplay itself.

Posted on 30 November 2007 by Chris Davies
The iPhone is a capable little chap in its own right, but it also makes for a decent way to control another PC or Mac remotely.

Posted on 29 November 2007 by Ken Allen
Erica Sadun released an app today that changes the iPhone's carrier with ease. Previously you had to do a ton of command line stuff to change the carrier logo, but now all you have to do is type in the name after opening the app. After typing in the name, springboard will restart and show your new logo.

With this being the apparent last app from iApp-a-Day, we thank Sean Heber for his excellent work and donation of his time to make these apps that really showed that the iPhone has potential with 3rd party apps.

Posted on 29 November 2007 by Chris Davies

Apple patent adaptor-ring for mini DVDs
Posted on 29 November 2007 by Chris Davies
Could it be that the mark of a true business mastermind is identifying the oddest source of extraneous cost and ruthlessly scything it out? If so, Apple iPod chief Tony Fadell might just be a genius: the latest patent application to go public from the company, bearing his name, is for a collapsible CD or DVD adaptor that snaps around ... continued »

iApp-a-Day: November 29th – Hum
Posted on 28 November 2007 by Ken Allen
Hum is the 29th application of the iApp-a-Day project by Sean Heber. Nearing the end of the month, it looks like Sean is running out of ideas as this little application does pretty much nothing. It's apparently an application where you can make robot sounds or something of that sort. If you move the sliders fast, you can jam ... continued »

A London-based analyst is predicting tension between the Apple and Nokia camps come 2008, as the Finnish company develops the latest, touchscreen-focused upgrade to its S60 cellphone OS. Already seen in promotional films, the Nokia Touch appears to use a capacitative touch-sensitive panel called Haptikos that adds haptic feedback to an OS that appears - in pre-release videos at least - ... continued »

Posted on 28 November 2007 by Chris Davies
Carphone Warehouse, the sole retail partner in the UK selling the iPhone on the O2 network, has been found mis-selling cellphone insurance in an undercover investigation for the BBC's consumer-rights programme Watchdog. Prompted by shoppers frustrated by Carphone Warehouse staff's hard-sell tactics, researchers for the programme went undercover into stores; in three out of five they were told that, should ... continued »
