I’m pumped! Domo-Kun, the most lovable and cutest character ever is coming to iPhones for a fun game experience called Domo: The Journey. As most are aware, I love Domo, so this is extra fun for me. I hope the game lives up to my expectations (and others of course).
One of my all time favorite apps (and now website) gets parodied. But it’s hard to not find the humor in this, especially for those over-sharers, which we are all guilty of at some point or another I’m sure. Low-fi, Low-fi…please somebody help me get this song out of my head now!
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….there were these Angry Birds, and now they have collided with Star Wars, which will bring possibly the most epic Angry Birds game to date: Angry Birds Star Wars. Coming November 8th, Rovio will be releasing their most prized game. I can’t wait. If you can’t either, Rovio has a special Angry Birds Star Wars Tumblr page up with some cool stuff worth checking out.
Today is the big day, the day that the “new iPhone” or “iPhone 5” as many are saying will be announced to the general public at the Apple event in Yurba Buena, pictured inset. As an iPhone user, it’s exciting to finally put all the rumors to rest. That is all they are as of now anyways, rumors, until we get confirmation that the iPhone 5 will have several new and updated features.
Tumblr has updated their mobile app again for iOS and Android with a major focus on making sharing as easy as possible. If you haven’t downloaded the update, go now!
In the popular HBO TV series The Wire, drug dealers would get pre-paid cell phones to make deals on and then get rid of the phones so quickly that the feds couldn’t get a wire tap in place fast enough to track/listen to their calls. These temporary phones were called Burners. Now, a new app called Burner is available which enables iPhone users to create temporary phone numbers that can be disposed of after a single use, or multiple uses.
A new Ustream mobile app is going to give YouTube and Google+ a run for their money. Both YouTube and Google+ have live streaming video to social networks. Google+ uses group Hangouts to have group live video streaming, where others can join in. YouTube, owned by Google, has long controlled the video space. But in recent years Ustream has grown in popularity, and their new Broadcast For Friends app may signal additional growth tapping into Facebook’s social dominance.
Some say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Maybe not in this case though, as one of the oldest forms of communication in today’s instant-knowing-Twitter-esque world is coming full circle. The first record of a paper postcard being sent was some time around the year 1840. Now 172 years later they’re making a resurgence.
Amazon is the world leader in online commerce. You can purchase almost anything from Amazon, and have been able to for years. Now Amazon thinks that social gaming is the next logical step to make money from, which would be through game app purchases. I am not so sure if I agree with Amazon here, however they have the resources and means to make it happen, so why not.
The Chameleon Clock is a clever iOS application that uses the rear facing camera to display the ‘background’ of the device, giving the illusion that the device is see-through, while displaying the time right on the screen. The camera uses a live feed to display whatever is behind it, so I’d imagine it uses up a good bit of the battery. The clock app retails in iTunes for $.99 cents, so not too shabby for a neat application that you can use to fool your friends with. Or if you want, you can check out the Chameleon Clock Tumblr Blog to see how it’s being used by others.
Your iPhone apps are made for your mobile phone, right? Well, not according to the Sticky App designer. The Sticky App is a sticky notepad design favored after your favorite iOS apps.

At the Apple World Wide Developers conference today, Apple made the official, and long rumored statement that Facebook will be fully integrated into Apple iOS6. So for all the iPhone and iPad users out there, this should be a welcomed changed.
Every once in a while there will be an app or technology that I see on the Android platform that makes me wish I had an Android instead of an iPhone, and on{x} appears to be one of them. Pronounced “on-ex”, it’s a new app from Microsoft developed specifically for Android that let’s users easily set reminders. The reminders once set, happen automatically without worry from the user to have to set it up in the future, and the reminders are extremely powerful - let me explain.
