It seems like games are one of the categories who’re getting the biggest benefit in the adoption of a bigger touch screen, or at least that’s what developers are showing us. Shangai Mahjong is coming to the iPad as well, thanks to MobileAge who are developing a universal application that will run just fine on your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. It looks good, it’s vibrant and makes even use of popovers and other native elements.
As usual, check out the images after the break.
A different take on the subject.
French blog iGeneration.fr reports that, accordingly to an anonymous distributor, the iPad should be sold in France (and hence, Europe) at a considerably more expensive price then the US. While I have to admit I can really see that coming, seeing it written on paper (web, actually) is still a painful stab in the back.
Growing up, I was into three things. First it was the Lite Brite, and incredible invention that offered hours of fun. At least until you pocked one to many holes through the screen. The second was the Magna Doodle, which is probably my favorite. And third, Legos. But it was the Lite Brite that started this whole creativity thing, and it was quite brilliant for its time.
iPad owners are lucky, because we now get to relive the days of the glowing plastic pegs with an application called iBrite. Check out the preview video after the break.
What a nice second preview I’ve received from my friends Matthew Rex and Jonah Grant today. If you’ve ever dreamt to be a modern Moses, then Commandments is aimed at you: packed in a beautiful interface and a delicious icon, it allows you to carry then ten commandments with you all the time.
Continuing our week with Fuel Collective, today we reintroduce the classics. I’d like to say their name to fame was with the introduction of Snippet and Swatch, two excellent Mac applications that sit in your menubar and provide 24/7 access to a developer’s and designer’s most used tools. Together, they make a perfect pair for almost any duty that involves everything from code, blog posts, an Photoshop. If you’ve never heard of these tools, prepare to be amazed by both the simplicity and features provided - these are some must have applications people. Read more
Brought to you by Big Bucket Software (Matt Comi and Neven Mrgan), here’s the first trailer of the upcoming iPhone game The Incident.
Together with Shawn Inman’s Mimeo, I can’t wait for this. Check out the video after the break.
Just in case you were still wondering:
“There was almost no effect on rank. The small visible bump can be entirely accounted for by actual increase in regular sales. If the 500 daily gifts counted as purchases, we would guess that we would at least be in the Top 25 of Strategy/Adventure, and in the Top 100 of All Games.”
Web designers, this one’s aimed at you. We all know client work can easily become a nightmare sometimes. Well, most of the times somebody would say. Thing is, one of the problems with designers and clients, is that the former don’t really do a good job at first, while approaching a new client: they either don’t ask the right questions, or understand what the client indeed wants. Or perhaps properly store the information they collected about the client.
Design Brief, an upcoming application for the iPad developed by Ben Duivesteyn, aims at solving this problem by providing a beautiful and easy way to capture information about a new client.
