It’s like a time machine. I can clearly see myself watching the once famous cartoon every friggin’ night “back in the days.” Now Voltron has its iPhone game, which sees you controlling lions in a 2/3 isometric view. Of course, every now and then 5 lions unite to create the ultimate killing machine – Voltron. Too bad the game doesn’t support multi-player mode, which would involve 5 of friends fighting around the universe separately, only to form a Voltron later on and kick some ass – this time united. On the other hand, it would be a mess to control a single character from 5 different iPhone/iPod Touches, but that’s another story.
As for the downside, Voltron for iPhone shows how NOT to create an interface. The controls are super huge taking almost a third of the screen estate. Still, if you’re up for some nostalgia that won’t come as a problem. Also $4 is a small change for that feeling, you would agree… AppStore link is here.

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
