Entire song covered using instruments from iPad apps

Most people who have heard of apps such as Apple’s GarageBand or Alchemy Synth praise them for bringing detailed musical instruments to a mobile platform.

Video: HTC G1 runs Ice Cream Sandwich

An old dog can learn a new trick as proven by the following video, featuring the original HTC G1 running Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Of course, you shouldn’t expect everything to run smoothly; quite the contrary not only the device is slow, but some of the phone features are not working like WiFi, Bluetooth and rotation. Guess those will be fixed in the days to come, but again – what’s the point? Anyway, if you have the T-Mobile G1 and want to try this out, head over to XDA-Developers and Read more

Battle Nations combines FarmVille with real-time strategy on iOS

Seeing how popular FarmVille has been, as well as freemium titles that have been influenced heavily on the game, the genre has been heavily adopted by female gamers as most men are off shooting things in Modern Warfare 3 or Battlefield 3 to care about their crops. But what if there was a game that brought together the addictiveness of micro-managing with the ability to shoot stuff up? Then you might want to check out Battle Nations.

Just as described, BlackBerry tag will allow users to quickly and easily share content between BlackBerry devices; by putting them butt-to-butt, you’ll be able to transfer ringtones, voice notes, contacts, images, videos, calendar items, documents, spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, browser links, and whatever else third part developers chose to support. It seems like the NFC itself is mostly just used to initiate a Bluetooth transfer, but Read more
