A new iPhone development project has recently surfaced and begun to gain public interest as it is the first ever firewall for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Ping! is an iDevice to iDevice messaging application (similar to BlackBerry Messenger on Blackberry smartphones) that makes use of Apple’s Push Notification service, and is said to be a replacement for SMS or other IM clients.

NASA launches iPhone app

by Patrick Lutz on Oct 24, 2009 at 09:33 AM

Although I don’t really see this being a very useful app on my iPhone, and to most others, I am sure there are some out there who could get a lot of use out of NASA’s new iPhone app. It was developed by the New Media Team at NASA Ames… Continue Reading »

App it Up: Gourmania

by Kirk Hiner on Oct 19, 2009 at 12:16 PM

Sadly, this is not Goremania, which would’ve been appropriate for this time of year. Rather, Gourmania is a tasty stew of time management games such as Diner Dash and hidden object games like Mystery Case Files, with a dash of Cooking Mama tossed in just to spice things up. Continue Reading »

by Jake Gaecke on Oct 18, 2009 at 03:50 PM

Elgato’s EyeTV app for iPhone is nearly everything you’d want from a TV app. It shows what you’ve already recorded, it shows you scheduled recordings for the future, it gives you access to the TV Guide data you pay yearly for, it even streams past recordings (provided they’ve been converted… Continue Reading »

by Jodie Andrefski on Oct 17, 2009 at 05:49 PM

Just in time for the haunting season comes this app that offers up plenty of scares. It has creepy sound effects, an instant haunted house, and optical illusions. With The Fright Factory, it is almost like having three apps in one. While it’s not something you are going to sit… Continue Reading »

In-app purchases now available in free apps

When iPhone OS 3.0 was first released, Apple stated that only paid apps would be able to take advantage of in-app purchases. This allowed developers to offer, say, the first 10 levels of a game, then to charge a little extra for additional levels. Now, free applications will be able… Continue Reading »

Restoring spring to the iPhone Springboard

by Kirk Hiner on Oct 12, 2009 at 10:57 AM

As with many iPhone and iPod touch owners, my screen has become a mess of app icons. I’m five screens deep now (and that’s nothing compared to some), with little rhyme or reason on what goes where. Apple introduced iPhone app management in iTunes 9, but this feels more like… Continue Reading »

App it Up: Star Walk

by Kirk Hiner on Oct 11, 2009 at 09:20 PM

If you’re at all interested in astronomy, Star Walk is a fantastic resource for an evening of star gazing. If you’re not into astronomy, you just may be after playing around with this.
