Textbooks for iPad progress with Inkling

DD6VD — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 12:00:00 +0000

As we said last year , long before the iPad became public, whichever ebook manufacturer nails the textbook market will have a distinct and serious advantage. Inkling (free) represents a huge step forward. It’s a “textbook platform” for the iPad that uses social connectivity and the features of the iOS in a unique and interesting way.

Flight Control coming to PS3 on September 15

DD6VD — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 21:30:00 +0000

There have been a lot of console adaptations brought to the iPhone , but sending games the other way hasn’t been as common. Firemint is changing that, however — they’ve announced that they’ll be bringing iPhone superhit Flight Control to the PlayStation 3 as a downloadable title , and the game will even support the new Move controller, so you’ll be able to draw flight paths in the air with a motion control wand (or you can use a regular dual stick controller if you’d rather do that). The game will also bring 1080p support, as well as a four-player drop-in/out mode and an exclusive map named “Metropolis.” Flight Control HD will be available on the PSN on September 15th

App store pushes past 10,000 iPad apps

DD6VD — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 14:00:00 +0000

Filed under: App Store , iPad It was December of 2008 when the app store boasted carrying over 10,000 apps , back when something called an iPad was just a sparkle in our eyes (and probably called something much different).

First look: SketchyPad mockup tool for web and app designers

DD6VD — Sat, 15 May 2010 19:00:00 +0000

Filed under: iPad Part of my work involves making mockups of websites for clients, and up until this point the easiest way to do that was just to hand draw some sketches, scan them, send them to the client for rework, etc… Now there’s a new iPad app from developer Nick Golovin that promises to make the creation of website and app mockups a lot easier. SketchyPad (US$4.99) is an iPad app using a simple sketchpad metaphor and a lot of stencils to make mockups.

DD6VD — Mon, 03 May 2010 12:00:00 +0000

Filed under: iPad Over the past few weeks, we’ve heard many people say, “The iPad is cool, but what would I do with it?” This new series aims to answer that question. We’ll examine one user case per post, from couch surfer to mobile professional, and describe just how that person uses his or her iPad. I love food.

Blizzard hasn’t looked at the iPad for StarCraft

DD6VD — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:00:00 +0000

Filed under: iPad Last week, the folks from Ars Technica got a chance to stop by Blizzard headquarters in Irvine, CA. They kindly asked a question that many of us RTS gamers have been wondering about ever since the iPad was released: Is there any chance that we’ll be getting StarCraft to play on the iPad?

Hands-on with PressOK Entertainment: Finger Physics, Fantasy Date, Spin it

DD6VD — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 16:30:00 +0000

Filed under: Gaming While in Seattle this past weekend, I got a chance to sit down with developer Alex Koloskov of PressOK Entertainment. As a company, they’ve been through a few mergers, but Koloskov and his team have been working on mobile apps for years, and iPhone apps since the early days of the App Store. Their biggest game is the very popular Finger Physics , but they’ve also recently released a huge update to their version of Gin Rummy

TUAW’s Daily App: Deadliest Catch

DD6VD — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 16:00:00 +0000

Filed under: iPhone Brand-based games can be hit or miss — at worst, they’re a crass attempt to cash in on a name, and even at best, they often rely far too much on the license, leaving fun and design out of the equation. But the official Deadliest Catch game for the iPhone actually impressed me. As just a game on its own, it lacks — it’s really just a series of minigames designed to simulate crabbing, which itself isn’t that fun to begin with.

First look: Camera for iPad

DD6VD — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 14:30:00 +0000

Filed under: iPad No, it’s not a hardware device, but Camera for iPad (US$0.99) can help out those frantic iPad users who are wondering how the heck they’re going to survive without a by-God camera built into their latest Apple toy. The app is universal and runs on both iPad and iPhone. In fact, the camera in the iPhone is what ends up being the real “Camera for iPad.” Installing the app on your iPhone and iPad allows the two devices to find each other via Bluetooth.

Auditorium

DD6VD — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 19:20:18 +0000

Ordinarily I hate it when a game tries to blur the line between game and art, because it usually results in a really terrible game, but Auditorium is a gorgeous exception to this. Having now played several inferior clones, it’s not hard to see why the original is still the best. Auditorium is [continue reading...]
