Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
Classics is a book reading application for the iPhone. It features twelve classic books available through a simple, intuitive and powerful interface.
It includes Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Gulliver’s Travels, The Time Machine, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Call of the Wild, Flatland, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Robinson Crusoe, The Jungle Book, The Metamorphosis, Paradise Lost and Hound of the Baskervilles. Phill Ryu and Andrew Kaz, the creators have promised more books in the future free of charge.
After a quick glance at the interface, you can see the passion and dedication put into Classics.
Classics makes me feel as if I am actually reading a book. All the other iPhone Ebook readers I have seen only allow you to scroll through the entire book. Classics features smooth page flips. There is also a great bookmark feature that lets you save your spot in the book and return to it at any time.
The attention to detail is also shown with the individual books. Both Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Flatland include illustrations.
I really enjoyed testing Classics. I would like to see a larger collection of books, but the initial line-up is really great. I thought it would be strange trying to read on such a small screen, but it was surprisingly perfect.
For a limited time Classics has been lowered from $2.99 to just $0.99!
