Flight Control is probably the single most successful iPhone game, and has been downloaded 1.5 million times. Best of all — at least for Firemint, the company behind the title — this is the number of paid downloads (the game costs 99 cents). The game was released back in the March of this year and…
Spider iPhone app looks cool, and that’s about it
Spider is a cool-lookin’ iPhone app that certainly won’t make you more productive — quite the contrary. Actually, it’s cool if you like spiders or at least find them interesting, otherwise you’ll find it gross. The simple application shows the movement of a spider on the iPhone’s screen.

Age of Curling: ‘Hurry HARD’ on the iPhone!
I’m Canadian. I live in Canada, and come winter time, there’s a certain sport that seems to distract us from the cold weather and early, frigid evenings.

What happens when a little-known manufacturer tries their hand at creating an Android-powered handheld gaming device? You get the ODROID Android “entertainment device” from Hardkernel.
