I’m not exactly into music games, but this app for iPhone could help me rediscover the genre. If you know what Guitar Hero is, that it shouldn’t be difficult to understand the main concept of Street Orchestra: you have to tap on “music notes” coming down from a “panel” to keep playing a specific song. It’s very simple and addictive.

Awesome Gadgets We’ll Never See: Flexible iPhone Speaker
“The Flexible Speaker for the iPhone is quite a departure from conventional speaker styles. More like a pretty hanging charm on the phone, this device makes use of “Flat Flexible Laminated, (FFT) Loudspeaker technology” to its advantage. Read: paper-thin & foldable. The folding aspect is relevant; coz with each un-fold of the connecting speaker, the volume goes up.”

It would be such an instant purchase.

Game developers are announcing lots of new stuff at the E3, and it’s good to see so many of them are planning to release games for iPhones and iPads.

Square Enix announced yesterday that Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of Lions is coming to the iPhone. Final Fantasy Tactics is a departure from a the usual mechanics of the Final Fantasy series, featuring an isometric view of the battlefield and many, many customization options for your characters. The original game first appeared on the Play Station in 1997, and War of Lions is a remake Square Enix launched on PSP 2 years ago.
Square Enix hasn’t announced a release date yet, or whether this “remake of the remake” will carry along some exclusive features for the iPhone. Check out the promo video after the break.
Apple Suggests You Should Open Presentations In…iBooks
Right after the iPhone 4 was announced, Apple updated its website with screenshots of the new features. Mail.app has a dedicated page on the website, and we noticed that Apple posted a screenshot of Mail allowing you to open a presentation attachment in Keynote. Too bad Keynote for iPhone hadn’t been announced at the keynote, so we all wondered whether that might mean that iWork suite was on its way to the iPhone.

Spotify for Safari: Exactly What I Was Looking For
Ok, I’m quite into this “discover the coolest Safari extensions out there” thing. Developers are coming out with innovative and useful tweaks every day, and we’re here to cover them. But when it’s about Spotify, the beloved music streaming service everyone wants to use somehow, I’m kind of a fanboy. The service is great, the catalogue is huge and the social features are neat.
Most of the time though, I hear about new artists I’ve never heard of while reading news in Safari 5. We Are Scientists have a new album out there? Let me search in Spotify. Wakey Wakey? Let me paste in Spotify real quick. See, it’s all about moving between windows and pasting stuff - boring and slow. Thanks to Johan Brook’s Spotify for Safari I can now do all of this directly from my browser window.
