Well, if you’re gonna do something by yourself … you might as well do it right, and the folks at iLounge are definitely on track to make sure that when you sit down to play some Solitaire, you aren’t going to waste your money on junk.
Only a month has passed since the App Store opened, and thanks to 12 separate developers, there are literally 19 different Solitaire card games to choose from today for the iPhone and iPod touch - you’d have to spend $75 to try them all. So that’s what we’ve done, canvassing the entire collection of titles to help you decide which one or two will be best for you.
So, while I’m sorry to say they have us licked on this one (I haven’t even downloaded a solitaire game yet), I’m happy to give you a link to a great round-up of games that will absolutely help make sure you’re not wasting you’re hard earned Appstore cash.
Simplify Media is another jailbreak fan favorite that has hit the big top (iTunes Appstore) and is ready for consumption by the general masses who haven’t or won’t jailbreak the new 2.0 software. What is it you ask? Well the folks over at Lifehacker put it better than I think I could …
Freeware application SimplyMedia shares iTunes libraries over the internet, giving you access to shared libraries no matter where you are. That means you can install Simplify Media at home and work to get access to your entire home music library from work (assuming both ends have a fast enough connection to stream your MP3s). If you’ve got a few friends with libraries you want to access, you can add up to 30 shared libraries.
And now (thanks Lifehacker) you can download the iPhone app for free (for the first 100,000) people! After that the price goes up to a (still reasonable) $3.99. Anyway, hurry on over and grab this great freebie while you still can. The desktop version by the way is also free.
Pretty near the top of the list of most used applications on my V1 iPhone was a jailbreak app from databinge called moleskine. Moleskine has been heavily covered and favored on JAiB and I figure while there’s not much sense in covering all the details again, but I wanted to let you know you can plan on a review coming up on this one. I’ve just ponied up my $12.99 for the (+) version of moleskinery and so far I can honestly say I’m glad I did… this is one of those familiar faces from the jailbreak community that I’m happy to see back on my homescreen.
This past week has been somewhat frustrating for me. You see I’ve been waiting for DataCase to hit the Appstore for some time now - and all last week all Apple seemed to be approving was crap. Sure there may have been a few decent apps out the last few days but I figure there was just about enough shit to sink a ship. All the while I was sitting there knowing that DataCase was just waiting in the wings. Now its here (finally) and I’m really looking forward to giving this app a run for my money.
As they said on their website and in the description it’s really easy to use (for the most part), but its a bit buggy in this first version. For Example, rotating a large PDF can take a lot longer than it should - like this one where I managed to stare at this screen for about 20 seconds…
Mmm, how I’ve missed my system tray alerts and e-mail previews on the unlock screen! That’s right, folks, Intelliscreen (review here) is back on the iPhone and works on 2.0. There are still a couple of bugs here and there (I have a heck of a time re-sizing the windows!) but it seems to be in pretty decent working order. Just add the source: http://intelliborn.com/cydia to Cydia and enjoy!
Btw, is it just me or is IntelliDial a bit faster now? Maybe it’s because my contacts aren’t set up with pictures yet..’
AHEM … not to get anyone into a rush to go spend $10 at the iTunes store … but everyone’s favorite here one minute gone the next application is back again!
NullRiver might have touched off a sore spot with this one. Netshare is pretty much 100% against the terms of your contract with AT&T as it basically allows you to tether your PC to your iPhone for data:
Since AT&T is likely to start crying a river to Apple any minute now , you better go and get it while you can. Oh - PS the only way to get it right now is to use the direct link since it isn’t showing up in a search. Just picked it up a minute ago so I know it was working as of 1:30pm MST on Friday. And yes - I know I can do this for free if I jailbreak. But after jailbreaking my iPod touch a few hours ago - I have to tell you, there’s not a chance I’m doing it to my iPhone 3G. Waaay to unstable right now. Edit … and its gone again. I sure hope Apple puts out a public announcement on this one.
Another much-anticipated program has made it into the iPhone App Store - the 1Password password manager / digital wallet application.
I’ve been using this app on my Mac, and on the iPhone via its secure bookmarklets - for some months now, and have been very much looking forward to seeing the full iPhone native version. I’ve only just installed it, so no thoughts on it yet, except that I’m glad to see it.
eWallet and SplashID are already very worthwhile apps in this area - now it looks as if we may be spoiled a bit with several good, solid choices for protecting our confidential data on the iPhone.
1Password is available now in the App Store, and is FREE.
Palringo is a new instant messaging app for the iPhone, and the first one that supports multiple IM services to make the App Store.
As you can see in the screenshot above, it supports most of the leading IM services, including Yahoo Messenger, AIM, Google Talk, and Windows Live Messenger.
Cool jailbreak app of the weekend? No doubt about this weekend’s winner - now that Quake4iPhone has appeared on the Cydia installer.
We’d been seeing reports for quite a bit about Quake getting ported to the iPhone - nice to see it made it.
I’ve only tried the game out briefly today, but it plays well so far. There is an Options area (which I found a little difficult to work with), sound and music, and very little lag when playing. Main thing, it’s quite playable - moving around and firing are easy to do.
It doesn’t make use of the accelerometer - but if you’re a Quake fan, this is a good bit of Sunday fun for sure.
As we mentioned here, Aurora Feint was removed from the App Store, apparently due to the fact that it’s Community Feature sent all of a player’s contacts to the author’s server — unencrypted and without warning. Today, a new version has been posted that addresses the security concerns and improves the stability of the game, fixes several bugs, and adds a few new features and levels to boot!
UPDATE: If you haven’t installed the updated version, you may wish to hold off. Numerous users are reporting bugs with it.
Apple could even give Nintendo a run for its money – playing video games on the iPhone is a joy, with users simply having to tilt and rotate the iPhone to control the actions of on-screen characters. — The Telegraph
