App review: The Incident


Like its contemporary, Canabalt , The Incident is a game that knows exactly what it is — and is not — and plays to those strengths to a T. The basic premise of this iPhone title is simple enough, and in that simplicity (as with many great games) lies its power. You are Frank Solway, a lone man involved in a day that has gone completely out of whack — namely, objects have begun falling from the sky, and you need to get out of the way. That’s it. That’s the whole game. You dash and jump while all manner of items come hurtling towards you from above; Mini Coopers, Ikea bookshelves, bikes, fences, arcade cabinets… really just about anything you can think of

tPhone competes with Apple Peel 520, turns your iPod Touch into a chubby phone


Well, it didn’t take long for the Apple Peel 520 to go from pioneering phone-maker to competition. Enter the tPhone, an also derivatively named and similarly positioned device that attaches to an iPod Touch and turns it into a phone. This one packs a 1,200mAh battery, 50 percent larger than the Apple Peel, but offsets that by existing as a “super-duper thick” hard case that clips on to the Touch. It naturally also offers a SIM slot and a dock port, augmented by a handy microUSB port on the side. It’ll set you back ¥700, about $100, so you’re paying a bit of a premium over the $75 Apple Peel. Worth it given the extra bulk and cost? That depends: just how big are your pockets? tPhone competes with Apple Peel 520, turns your iPod Touch into a chubby phone originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 13 Aug 2010 12:33:00 EDT.

Apple Peel 520 gets reviewed: turns your iPod touch into an iPhone, but quirks exist


No one expressly said that the Apple Peel 520 would change your life, but if you play your cards right, that’s not entirely out of the question. The mysterious doodad — which wraps around your iPod touch and holds an extended battery and SIM card — has caused quite the stir since being revealed late last month, and now it has undergone a full review overseas. Put simply, the device does work as advertised, turning one’s iPod touch into a device fully capable of making / receiving calls as well as texts. ‘Course, you’ll need to jailbreak your device first, and you’ll have to deal with a static (read: impossible to adjust) call volume, quirky SMS delivery and blanked messages for missed calls, but hey — a small price to pay for the upgrade, right?

Hulu Plus preview arrives in iTunes App Store, Flash be damned


The free Hulu Plus app just hit the iTunes App store, kids, with the promise of 720p streaming over WiFi or 3G to iOS devices including the iPad, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and 3rd generation iPod touch. They’re calling it a “limited preview” release that will ultimately require a $10 per month subscription on top of the commercials you’re forced to watch. Oh, and it’s still restricted to US-only viewership. Well, at least the Flash barrier has been removed. Huzzah?
