Appletell | Apple, Mac, iPhone, iPod | News, Rumors, Reviews, How-Tos

Macworld Expo begins this week, so you can expect plenty of Mac and iPhone announcements to be made. Because we’ll be busy at the show, we’ll only be running the roundup tonight and possibly tomorrow. So, enjoy them while they last. It goes without saying that we’ve got more Valentine’s and Olympics apps for you, as well as iPad cases. Plenty to keep Mac users busy, too.

CoreMelt wants you to show them your pixels. Do you dare? If not, you could instead weigh in on Pigs vs. Wolves, touch some sounds, master the cube, rob some graves, discover some animals, ACT like a rocket, listen to Mario and Zelda, mix some hiphop beats, golf, and plenty more. There’s certainly enough to keep you busy this weekend, so set aside a few hours, pour yourself a bowl of iGibbets, and kill that time you’ve been meaning to waste.

Don’t get the wrong idea from the headline; this article is about what iPad gaming is capable of with IPs created specifically for the device. We saw recently what iPhone games look like when played at their native resolution on the iPad, when they’re enlarged to fit the screen, and when they’re redeveloped at the iPad specs. But how about if they’re built specifically for the iPad from scratch? One look at the screenshot from Gender Wars: The Battle should let you know.

We all get to say “vjoon” today. That’s pretty cool, right? Vjoon? Mac users also get to say File Sheriff and FCS Maintenance Pack, but those aren’t as fun. The iPhone sees Lady Gaga, the Jackson 5, Bell Biv DeVoe and something called The Cover Girls all join hands for music gaming goodness, and we’ve also got a new iPhone case, a forthcoming iPad case, plenty of utilities and a way to more easily make your own app.

The GameSalad Challenge finalists have been announced. Why should this matter to you? Because the winners will be announced at Macworld Expo 2010, and until TellTale Games hopped on board, the GameSalad Challenge was all the gaming you were going to get there. Those attending Macworld Expo can stop by booth #1478 to play the finalists’ games, attend various training sessions on the GameSalad tool, and participate in a daily mini-game jam on the show floor where the winner receives a GameSalad Express Membership as a prize.

Golf Yoga? You can improve your golf game with yoga? There may be an app for everything, but it seems fewer and fewer are for me. Thankfully, there are plenty of games today, including Parachute Ninja, Carpet Flight, 2360: Battle for Cydonia, iStunt, and more. Also, a couple iPhone development courses, some math apps, an app to get you out of a bad date, and more for Valentine’s Day.

And unfortunately, it’s not over the name, so it looks like we’re still stuck with that. Rather, the Chinese company Shenzhen Great Loong Brother is threatening to sue Apple for “plagiarism,” claiming they stole the iPad design from their company’s P88 tablet computer. The P88 has been on the market for six months, but as Wired suggests in their article, I wonder where they got their design cues from?

Want some tasty S’mores on your iPhone? They’re in here. Less tasty, but equally entertaining, are games such as Flight Deck, Tractor Beam, Avatrivia, The ..., and plenty of other great apps that aren’t games, such as the one that allows you personalize your robotic massage chair. (Hey, how come I don’t have a robotic massage chair?) Mac updates include more security software, a new Keynote theme, a new web design program, and more.

Remember the good old days before the iPod and the iPhone, when you couldn’t rely on your iDevice case to convey your personality? Back then, you had just one thing to carry around—your computer—and that alone let passersby know every tiny detail about who you are. Well, some of us still carry around laptop computers, and Speck wants to make sure you’re making a statement with their CorePack Fly Messenger Bag and AftPack Notebook Backback.
