My new favorite iPhone game: Angry Birds

Posted on February 17, 2010 by Jay Farmington

I had some time to check out some of the new games on the iPhone. I am not really a mobile gamer but I love simple flash style castle destroyer games. Angry Birds is a fantastic game with one mission... destroy the evil green pigs who stole all of the birds eggs.

The game is fabulously done with great cartoony graphics and sound effects. You complete each level by knocking over the pig's protective tower. You do this by launching your crew of birds, some with special abilities like speed and explosion, at the towers.

The game is only $0.99 and has something like 160 levels which means a few hours of gameplay. In my book that's a great investment. If you are looking for an entertaining and fresh game for your iPhone I highly recommend you spend some time with the Angry Birds!

Is this the Apple iPhone 4G screen?

Posted on February 9, 2010 by Jay Farmington

The new face seems to show a taller iPhone as well as a little slot above the ear piece. Does this mean a front facing camera? I doubt it but hey, it's ok to dream right?

The bigger screen size I'm betting will mean a higher resolution (obviously). People are saying that the screen will be 3.7 inches so maybe we will see some high-def recording or playback. I am just hoping for a new crystal clear screen that puts any of the Android handsets to shame. For comparison please see an HTC HD2 screen.

Apple Tablet Visual Rumour Roundup

Posted on January 13, 2010 by Jay Farmington

I still don't see what anyone would really need this for. Chances are though in a few months I will end up wanting one. I do think it has a market in colleges with text book replacement. I dig my iPhone though - it does everything I need. Do I really need this if Apple updates the iPhone even more? Possible UI updates and a new home screen... I would be happy!

Google "Nexus One" Phone Caught in the Wild.

Posted on December 12, 2009 by Jay Farmington

There are more and more details leaking all over the web about the eagerly anticipated official Google phone. The phone is called the Nexus One (might just be a codename) and it is beautiful. Google is said to be working with HTC for the design but in actuality is calling all the shots. Little is confirmed about the phone but the general consensus is that it will be sold unlocked, meaning you choose your cell phone service provider! Very daring of Google but I believe this will pay off.

Based on the Twitter buzz and those who have the phone in hand it is said to be a thin and sleek sporting a beautiful touch screen. iPhone users have tweeted that the Google phone is an iPhone on steroids. I guess we have to imagine that if anyone can honestly be a threat to the number one smart phone in the world it would be Google. Very excited on the simple picture and I hope I get a chance to put my hands on the phone very soon!

Walking through the store and I got blasted by our good friend Rick Astley. This song is timeless. Rick's dancing even more so.

Lol!

West Ham United; iPhone Wallpapers

Posted on November 15, 2009 by Jay Farmington

Because I couldn't decide on a wallpaper for my iPhone I ended up making one. After I was done making mine I figured I would throw together some wallpapers to honor the almighty West Ham United! I tried to put together an assortment that would connect with all different types of fans, guys, girls, kids, fanatics. Some of the images are copyright to their original owners. Give it a once over Hammer fans and throw one on your phone to show your colors!

Edit: Fixed the images to fit better on the screen. Sorry about that!

Look out for volume 3 down the road. As always if there is a wallpaper you use or you took please send it over and I will feature it. Full credit will be given to you of course! Enjoy.

I decided to compile some of the better iPhone wallpapers into a nice neat little post. I figured since there are so many I would do it in volumes. With that said here is volume one. I hope you enjoy.

If you have any specific wallpapers that you feel would be killer to add to a future set please feel free to send it over to me!

The new Facebook app for iPhone 3.0 coming very very soon!

Posted on July 5, 2009 by Jay Farmington

I forgot to post about this earlier but it has been announced or leaked that the new Facebook app for the iPhone 3.0 software is nearly finished. This is a big deal because Facebook remains one of the iPhone's most downloaded applications. Joe Hewitt is the brains behind the original app and he has taken to his blog to announce some of the new features. The new app is cram packed with all of the features that people have been requesting since version 1 of the app was released.

Some of the features include:

  • The “new” News Feed
  • Like
  • Events (including the ability to RSVP)
  • Notes
  • Pages
  • Create new photo albums
  • Upload photos to any album
  • Zoom into photos
  • Easier photo tagging
  • Profile Pictures albums
  • A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications
  • Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen
  • Better Notifications (they link to the comments so you can reply)
  • Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page
  • Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted by a phone call
  • Video uploading just leaked*

I think this is exactly what needed to happen to really put Facebook ahead of MySpace. We all know the MySpace app is garbage. Now that Facebook and Hewitt have answered the cries of the people I predict we will see more of a decline in MySpace's user base. That coupled with the ability to upload video and push notifications promised for 3.1 I don't see anything stopping Facebook from really burying MySpace. Pictures attached below!
