Jetpack Joyride downloaded over 13 million times; Big update planned next month
Halfbrick’s other big game that doesn’t include slicing up dangerous fruit being hurdled in your direction, Jetpack Joyride, has been winning the minds and hearts of anyone that’s played it with its one-button interface and addictive gameplay. In fact, Halfbrick announced today at D.I.C.E. in Las Vegas they have made it past the 13 million download mark, although I would have easily been impressed if they announced they made it past 10 million downloads. What makes this news even more impressive is the fact Jetpack Joyride has achieved this goal … Read more

See almost every Apple product in 30 seconds
If you’re a die-hard Android or Windows Phone fan (do those exist), then you may want to skip this post because this is going to be an ode to Apple. This really neat YouTube video shows nearly every Apple design that’s come out in a neat and tidy 30 seconds. You see many pieces of Apple tech which can bring up nostalgia or even some rage. I still hate the one-button mouse and the Newton was a joke – or if you want to be kind, it was too ahead … Read more

Apple ‘protest’ fizzles – Should we care how our iDevices are made?
With all the recent investigations into the working conditions at companies Apple uses to produce its products, I figured a scheduled protest of this at the Apple Store in San Francisco would draw a bit of a crowd. I mean, this is San Francisco, we protest if the sun hasn’t come up in a while. That’s why I was surprised to get to the city’s flagship Apple store to find that the eight or so members of the media far outnumbered the protesters. The numbers may not mean anything because … Read more

Tweetbot lands on iPad, 2.0 version hits iPhone
One of my favorite ways to access Twitter is through Tweetbot because I feel like it’s an excellent and stylized way to use the micro-blogging service. That’s why I’m very happy to see that Tweetbot has landed on the iPad and that the 2.0 version is now available for the iPhone. Tweetbot is a Twitter client that uses clean, useful designs and subtle sounds to make browsing Twitter an amazing experience. It’s very simple to read through you timelines, open links from tweets and even see the conversation history of … Read more
Hands-on Preview: Mass Effect Infiltrator for iOS
EA is getting set to release one of 2012′s most highly anticipated games, Mass Effect 3, on March 6th. They will already dominate the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 scene when the game is released, and they may also dominate your iOS device when Mass Effect Infiltrator is released on March 6th, too. During an EA press event yesterday, I got some hands-on time with their upcoming Mass Effect iOS offering. Mass Effect Infiltrator isn’t another Mass Effect Galaxy which ended up not being a very successful mobile title for BioWare. … Read more

Watch out, Google: Siri accounts for 25% of Wolfram Alpha’s traffic
About a quarter, or 25 percent, of all of Wolfram Alpha’s traffic now comes from Siri on the iPhone 4S, according to a report from the New York Times. The fact that Siri has had such a large impact on Wolfram Alpha in only a few months not only proves iPhone customers are actually using Siri, but how useful Wolfram Alpha’s technology is. It may also prove a long-term threat for Google, as technologies like Siri could become a disruptive platform that stands between users and search engines. I’ve always … Read more

One of iOS’ premier zombie murdering first-person shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies received an update over the weekend which allows players to spend even more money on the game by incorporating in-app purchases into the game. The new update allows players to “enhance their experience” by way of in-game point packs that can be purchased via in-app purchases in order for players to receive a bunch of in-game points. The in-game points can then be used in order to purchase weapons, ammo, build barricades, and much more. Of course, … Read more

Apple has 8.7% of the mobile phone market, 75% of the profits
Apple continues its dominance when it comes to the world of mobile devices. The Cupertino-based company’s iPhone share of the market in terms of units shipped has grown from 3 percent in the second quarter of 2010 to 8.7 percent last quarter, according to Asymco‘s Horace Dediu. Even more impressive is that Apple’s profits in this space have risen from 39 percent to 75 percent. Wow. Of course, what’s great news for Apple is horrible news for other manufacturers, as Dediu’s chart of the eight largest OEMs above shows a vast difference in cash-flow. It turns … Read more

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective moves his investigation from the DS to iOS today
Capcom has made another Nintendo DS exclusive title available on iOS today as Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective has moved his quirky investigative prowess to the App Store today. If you recall the first Capcom Nintendo DS exclusive game to jump to the iOS platform was Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney back in 2010. Ironically, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective was created by the same man: Shu Takumi. Instead of playing out courtroom drama from case to case, this mystery adventure game has players assuming the role of Sisel as he uses his … Read more

40,000 Apple fans sign petition for iPhone 5 ‘made ethically’
After numerous accusations that Apple does not take proper care of its workers, SumOfUs started a petition that is now backed by over 40,000 people. It publicly calls out Apple to ensure that the manufacturing of the iPhone 5 is done with the welfare of employees – particularly in China – in mind. The controversy began in 2010 when reports of suicides from Foxconn began pouring in due to its harsh working conditions. Steve Jobs commented on them in an interview at AllThingsD‘s D8 conference and said Apple is doing … Read more

Are handset makers delaying launches because of iPhone 4S demand?
I think it’s safe to say that the iPhone 4S was anything but the disappointment some bloggers and analysts originally expected. There’s endless articles on how much of a success Apple’s latest smartphone has been and demand has been so strong, in fact, rumors are now spouting that other handset manufacturers are pushing their phone launches until at least the Q2 2012. For their sake, hopefully the iPhone hype will cool down a bit by then. According to a report from DigiTimes, vendors from around the globe including Samsung, HTC, Nokia, … Read more
