Just as we expected, Dr. Kawashima is hitting the AppStore, big way. Namco’s PR company sent us a press release informing us that iPhone and iPod Touch users can now “mentally roll back the years” with the Brain Exercise with Dr. Kawashima.
The trick is in the range of challenging games, scientifically proven to test and enhance the performance of different areas of the brain. Dr. Kawashima himself supervised all the puzzles to “certify their brain-enhancing credentials.”
By playing the game, users can test their brain age and track the progress of their daily training regime through a calendar. Over time, gamers can enhance brain age and unlock new games as rewards for completing different stages. A full Sudoku game with bonus levels has also been included to help raise a mental sweat.
Finally to make things ever more social, users can upload their brain age to the Global leaderboard and compete with the best brains in the world, as well as compare test scores with friends on Facebook, tracking their progress against the people who really matter…
Want it? Here’s an AppStore link.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
