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.
Are you familiar with Habbo Hotel? The company behind the sensational virtual world, Sulake, Inc., has created a similar pocketsize virtual world for mobile devices known as Bobba (or Bobba Bar for the iPhone version). Bobba has already been out on various smartphones for a few months now, and the company is now focusing on bringing the popular virtual world to the iPhone and iPod touch. The 1.0 version of the app has already been submitted to Apple for review, and should make it into the App Store any day now.
So, what exactly is Bobba Bar? If you’re familiar with Habbo Hotel, then you should have a good idea. The two are almost identical, of course with some exceptions. The main difference between the two is that Bobba Bar focuses mostly on bars, cafes, and other food and beverage establishments, while Habbo Hotel is more of a virtual hotel. With Bobba Bar, you have to sixteen years old or older.
The available screenshots suggest that Bobba Bar is going to be a very impressive iPhone “game,” and is likely going to make good use of the iPhone’s graphics engine, as it does on the other smartphones on which it’s available. Bobba will be a free download from the App Store, although I speculate it may make use of in-app purchases in future updates (think coins in Habbo), and will be released as soon as Apple approves it.
