Super Monkey Ball 1.0.3

I bet you forgot about this game didn't you? Shame on you, Super Monkey Ball is the game that launched a thousand iPhones and iPod Touch's. The game has been updated and now includes more, yes more Sega Game Buttons for that authentic Sega game play feeling.

Tilt, Rock and Roll!

Guide your favorite Super Monkey Ball to victory by tilting and rolling them through crazy sloping courses on the Ipod! In five colorful worlds with 110 stages, you’ll have plenty of banana-collecting fun as you speed AiAi, MeeMee, Baby or GonGon to the goal gate before the timer runs down. With each monkey inside of a transparent ball, you must tilt the device to roll the monkey past a range of obstacles such as gaps, slopes, narrow ledges and moving platforms. With a pinpoint control mechanism, players will simply tilt and turn the device to maneuver their monkey, accelerating and decelerating as they make their way through the colorfully animated world.

FEATURES:

• Five massive worlds with 110 stages: Monkey Island, Smooth Sherbet, Detritus Desert, Volcanic Pools and Space Case.

• Master three gameplay modes: Zip and slide through the Main Game, Instant Play and Practice Mode.

• Four monkey characters: Play as AiAi, his wife MeeMee, their little boy Baby, or the gorilla, GonGon.

• Pick-up-and-play accessibility: With just the touch of the screen and a tilt of the device, players of all skill levels will be on their way.

GV Mobile For iPhone/iPod Touch

For those that were lucky enough to jump on to Google Voice after Google purchased it from Grand Central and sent out open invites, they already know how great a web app it is. For those who didn't jump on board then, before it was closed to the public, their chance to learn how great it is right around the corner.

Last week Google began sending out invites to join the service, so millions more will get in on the action.

If you don't know what Google Voice is, let me give you a brief introduction. What started out as a simple Visual Voicemail app that allows users to recieve a written transcript of voicemail messages on the web, or delivered to a handset, is now much, much more.

Google added the ability to choose a phone number and have any calls to that number forwarded to your handset. Users could then screen any calls along with recieving a written transcript of the message. There is also a online inbox where users can take care of all calling business.

Google Voice also allows the user to send and recieve SMS text messages for free. Those messages can too be forwarded to the users handset.

Users can also make calls using their Google number so the recieving end never need know your actual carrier phone number. There is also a rumor working that Google will soon be allowing the porting of your actual carrier number.

Now that GV is opening to the public, it only stands to reason that Google will offer their very own mobile app to use with the hottest selling handsets, but there is no telling when that app will come, and in it's infant beta stage, how useful it will be. Google has proven that they need a few iterations of a mobile app before they get it just right.

In the absence of an official app, iPhone and iPod Touch owners can take advantage of an fantastic app called GV Mobile from Sean Kovacs.

I have been using GV Mobile for over a week now and I have to say, Google will have to really show up with something extraordinary to get users to replace it. GV Mobile provides quick and easy access to all of the features that are available online.

Users can dial right from the app (iPhone) and GV Mobile will connect to your account and make the call. Users can also on both the iPhone and iPod Touch see and listen to any message left on the accounts voicemail. Listen, save or delete from your (I) device.

My favorite feature is SMS text. Users can use the text feature just as they would from their desktop, send and recieve text messages through GV Mobile and save a ton of dough.

There is one drawback that I hope Sean fixes soon. There are no notifications, so If you recieve a reply to your text, or someone simply sends a text, you won't know until you open the app. Include notification now that 3.0 allows for it, and GV Mobile becomes the perfect app and hard to beat even by Google themselves.

If you are a Google Voice user or plan to be soon, do yourself a favor and grab GV Mobile, it's the perfect companion for the perfect Voicemail app.

GV Mobile allows users of Google Voice to:

dial numbers (domestic for free and international at a variable rate) via the iPhone’s address book or typing in on the keypad
send SMS messages
retrieve and delete recent call history
playback and delete voicemails
take calls from different phones other than your iPhone
add, delete, enable, or disable the phones that Google Voice forwards calls to
GrandDialer users, this is your replacement app!

You must already have a Google Voice account in order for this application to work. Grand Central users that have converted their account to Google Voice will also be able to use this.

How does GV Mobile work?
GV Mobile initiates a secure connection with Google Voice and sends a command to do various tasks(call, send sms, etc). GV Mobile communicates only with Google Voice, no one else.

Please note that GV Mobile relies heavily on the use of an internet connection (3G, EDGE, Wifi, etc).
If your internet connection is shady a best, this app may not function properly. A future update will include ‘Offline Mode’ which will allow for dialing using your Google Voice number without the need of an internet connection.
By using GV Mobile, you understand that I am not liable for data charges you may incur.

At the time of release of GV Mobile (~4/3/2009), Google Voice (the service) is still in preview/beta mode. Any drastic changes on their end may make GV Mobile inoperable. With that said, I plan on fully supporting this app to ensure it functions if changes occur.

Wireless Charging Comes To The iPhone/iPod Touch

It's okay, you can admit it. You know you have the coolest smartphone around, you also know you have the coolest MP3 device ever made. But dang, that Touchstone charger for the Palm Pre is killing your (i) mojo, that's some serious techy magic there.

Fret not, wireless charging is now at your command:

WildCharge wire-free power experience now available for Apple devices

WildCharge introduces WildCharge Skins for the iPhone and iPod touch, the first wire-free charging solutions for the world’s most popular portable devices. The WildCharge Skin for iPhone is compatible with the new iPhone 3G S, as well as the 3G and original iPhone. WildCharge Skins are durable, protective, form-fitting cases that when placed on the WildCharger Pad, transfer wire-free power from the Pad to the device inside the skin. The soft cases provide the same protection consumers already enjoy from traditional skins, but have the added value and convenience of enabling a wire-free charge.

The WildCharge Skin for iPod touch is available to order immediately. The WildCharge Skin for the iPhone will be available to order within two weeks

The entire package will set you back $79, but that's what you would pay if you were buying the Touchstone kit from Sprint, so, it's about even I'd say.
