N.O.V.A. 2 Coming to the iPhone [Teaser]

N.O.V.A. by Gameloft is probably one of the most critically acclaimed and successful FPS games ever released in the App Store. Released in 2009 and eventually ported to the iPad (the developers even demoed the tablet version on stage when the iPad was announced), N.O.V.A. has managed to gain thousands of players and fans. It’s been a huge success for Gameloft.

Gameloft posted a teaser video of N.O.V.A. 2 for iPhone on Youtube a few minutes ago. It doesn’t show much, besides “Stay Tuned” and “We need you once more”. There are 3 seconds of actual in-game graphics in the video, and man it looks impressive. Check out the video and a screengrab below. We don’t usually cover games, but I’m excited about this one.

Weather HD Comes To The iPhone

I remember when the iPad came out in April I sat in front of my MacBook and watched all the videos of new apps I could find on Youtube. The Yankees were getting a new shiny Apple tablet and I was not  - but then eventually I spent some bucks more than I would expect and bought one from the US. It’s been a great companion ever since. Among the apps I was desperately looking at on Youtube there was one that caught my attention: Weather HD. Read more

An Impressive iPhone Newspaper Ad [Video]

A few agencies get mobile advertising just right, and a very few companies seem to understand that you need a good iPhone app to let people engage with your product. Most companies think that pushing a web application wrapped in an iPhone app out in the App Store is enough; Belgium-based insurance company AXA is different.

Not only AXA was the first insurance company to deploy a good iPhone application, now they also realized an impressive interactive ad that requires users to point the iPhone over a blank spot on a newspaper and watch the magic happen. Seriously, just take a look at the video below. It may be a gimmick and it may not be so informative, but it catches your attention; it kind of forces you to stare at that video for a minute.

SNL iPhone App Parody - Rescue Dogs 911

In case anyone missed the last episode of Saturday Night Live, they showed a ‘Digital Short’ about a man (Andy Samberg) who’s house is being robbed. He grabs his iPhone 4, can’t talk so he uses a 911 app and gets… just watch the video, it’s hilarious! The video is courtesy of Hulu and NBC (US viewing only). “This new phone app has few kinks, but it’s still useful.” Read more

The Glif: We Need This iPhone Stand & Tripod Mount

I’m not exactly an accessory guy: I’m not into cases and skins, I like my iPhone naked. I purchased a Just Mobile Xtand, though: it’s a great way to keep the iPhone at a good visible angle on my desk and, frankly, it looks great next to the iMac.

But the Glif could be a lot better: a stand/tripod mount hybrid that doesn’t suck, doesn’t look bad and, most of all, could finally help you get things done. It could be a great way to use your iPhone as a digital clock, a great camera tripod…just watch the video below. Why am I saying “could”? Because the guys behind the Glif need our help. They have created a prototype, but the manufacturing process will cost around $10.000 to be completed.

Here’s the official Kickstarter campaign for Glif. Go donate right now, we need this. [via DF] Read more
