09 Feb 10 ZombieHunter for the iPhone
I don’t know what it is about the romanticism of the zombie genre. Maybe its because we just want to live in a world apart from civilization, where the only law is survival.
So if you need a zombie fix, you might want to get ZombieHunter by StormBASIC SL for the iPhone and iPod touch. It has 3D graphics, animations, online scoring, and two gameplay modes: history and survival.
Believe it or not, it is available for free for a limited time. I don’t know how limited it is, so you might want to click here to download it now.

09 Feb 10 Sky Siege augmented reality game for iPhone
I love augmented reality, and this is one application known as Sky Siege that is very cool. There are no QR codes on this app, just a chance for you to shoot enemy aerial vehicles.
Sky Siege uses the iPhone’s 3GS compass and accelerometers in order to figure out where the player is, and so he or she can turn around and shoot a plane or blimp.
If you’re an iPhone user and you want to try it out, feel free to head over to the iTunes store and lay down $3.

09 Feb 10 Apple iPad Pricing to be Lowered?
Depending on how you look at it, a price decrease is something that customers will cheer but can likewise symbolize reprieve for a faltering cause. This is with reference to rumors that the Apple iPad may be lowering its price soon, “nimble” but definitely lower.
At this point, the Apple iPad norms at $499 and should they adjust the price, competitors may be in for some trouble. Obviously a lot of them have come out with Apple iPad imitations with lower prices. But if the price discrepancy is just a couple of bucks, wouldn’t it be better to stick with the authentic brand that started it all?

09 Feb 10 A Taller iPhone 4G Perhaps?
Nothing has been definite on the release of the iPhone 4G. There have been a lot of speculations on what it will come out with such as HD video support and some background applications. But now let us go a bit to the physical part of it. Rumors are flying that it will be taller than its previous iPhone brothers.
Some photos over at iResQ show a taller iPhone, about ¼ inches taller than the previous ones which measured 115m tall. Aside from that, it will have a reflective surface above the speaker and a LCD that is factory-glued to the digitizer. However, this is not yet the final design so don’t conclude just yet!

08 Feb 10 Lion’s Pride for the iPhone and iPod Touch
Once again, there is another free game for the iPhone and iPod Touch that I missed reporting on. First it was Valet Hero, now Lion’s Pride.
Lion’s Pride has nothing to do with that Siegfried and Roy Father of the Pride CG show that last only a handful of episodes on NBC. In Lion’s Pride, the player takes control of a pride of lions as they stalk their land and ambush prey.
It only costs $0.99 to download, so beat that! It’s almost free.

This is still unconfirmed though and knowing how people want to get the best of anything for future mobile devices, it can happen and does make sense if you consider how many surprises Apple has made through the years.

05 Feb 10 Apple not letting apps use Core Location only for advertising
Considering the App Store is being absolutely flooded with downloads, it is the perfect opportunity to get some advertisements out there. And, considering the fact that it has built in GPS, it’s the perfect opportunity for advertisement providers to provide some incredibly targeted ads.
Well, it seems that if app developers are using Core Location just to provide targeted ads, Apple is going to reject the app and ask them to remove the call. This is quite unfortunate for developers looking to monetize their apps further and probably out of the blue considering users can actually reject the invitation to let the app use their location.

04 Feb 10 SlingPlayer for iPhone soon to work over 3G
As Apple slowly but surely loosens the reigns on what can and can’t go into App Store, more and more apps are showing some promising and incredibly useful features that were previously not allowed. The latest of such apps is SlingPlayer which you might already know has been available in the App Store for some time now. However, while previously available, it only allowed you to stream content over WiFi which made it virtually useless unless you were in a wireless hotspot.
Today, it was announced that AT&T has given the app developers the go ahead to allow for streaming over 3G. Unfortunately, the new version of the app still needs to get Apple’s approval so there’s not telling on when the update may actually hit.

04 Feb 10 iTunes Preview lets you know exactly what you’re downloading
I guess Apple’s still relishing in all the attention after the iPad unveiling one week ago. It’s not like they sounded the trumpet for this new feature of iTunes for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
This iTunes Preview allows the user to select an App Store link and be taken to the website showing the app’s details. In other words, you know what you’re getting into before you’re downloading. Have you ever downloaded an App, and discovered that it wasn’t what you were expecting at all? With this app, you can see a picture, price, description, rating, reviews and screenshots.
I can’t help but wonder what a preview for the iTunes Preview would like.
