William Wallace — Sat, 15 May 2010 20:00:10 +0000

If you liked that Magic Mover App for the iPhone, then you might like this one as well. It's from the same creators and this one was actually made first before the Magic mover, that is. Ã‚Â The way this app works is that it uses the vibration function (like the other app) to make air blow out of the speakers at the bottom of the phone. Use it to blow out birthday candles, to blow dust off your table, whatever you want to do with it; even keep yourself cool on hot days! Well I don't know about that last one, but its all up to your imagination. This app is available at the iTunes store for only $1.

Run iPhone Apps on the iPad without Pixelation

William Wallace — Tue, 04 May 2010 00:00:07 +0000

So if you have been playing with the iPad lately, I'm sure you have tried a few iPhone apps on the iPad. Usually it will run the app at the iPhone's native resolution, but the iPad offers a 2x button that will allow the app to fill the whole screen. The result is a pixelated screen that look horrible (IMO). The good news is that there is a fix for this pixelation problem. The bad news is that you need to Jailbreak your iPad.

So first of all you need to download the "Spirit" Jailbreaking software, then you just need to install OpenSSH from Cydia, and have an FTP browsing program on your computer. With those tools in hand, you have to hunt for "info.plist"Ã‚Â file inside everyÃ‚Â iPhone app installed in your iPad, copy it to your computer, and add a line of text before copying it back to your iPad. Once you have found that file and opened it up in a text editor, you will need to add these strings:

UIDeviceFamily

If this string is already there:

UIDeviceFamily

Simply add 2

And thats it! Save and replace the old file and voila! You should be able to run apps in non-pixelated form. The only thing is that, this fix doesn't work with 100% of the apps. There have been a few issues that came up regarding the fix, and those were some touch issues, non-working buttons, UI problems and also some alignment issues as well. So this will just be a long process of trial and error until, we still don't know which apps will work with this fix and which ones won't. Let us know if you successfully de-pixelate an app.

iPhone Free App: Textie

William Wallace — Sat, 01 May 2010 00:00:17 +0000

Textie is a free iPhone app that can be used to replace the built in SMS app on your phone. Why would I need to do that right? Well here are the perks for this app. Normally if you were to send SMS's through your iPhone, you and the person receiving it will be charged a fee by your provider. With this app you can text to anyone free of charge. This includes other Textie users as well as anyone in your phone book. The only thing is, although its free for you to send texts, it MIGHT not be free for the person receiving the text; they might still get charged regularly by their service provider. Unfortunately there are reports that T-Mobile's service does not work too well with the Textie app. So just keep that in mind before you send tons of SMS's to your buddies and get charged for them. Textie is a free download but is supported by ads, so if you wanted an ad free version you would have to dish out $2.

William Wallace — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 23:00:53 +0000

If you own an iPad or an iPhone and STILL have not tried Plants v.s. Zombies, hurry and do it! Well thats not the point of this article but for all of you guys that liked PVZ, beaten it, and still can't get enough; I know you guys have already checked online to see if Popcap games will release a second installment to this game. Recently, I have done some research on PVZ2 and the good news is Popcap games did say that they would come out with PVZ2. The bad news is that the ETA for PVZ2 is expected sometime between 2010 to 2016. I am dissapointed in their response to the fans' requests for a second installment. Well i guess we all just have to hold on and wait for Popcap to Ã‚Â release this awesome and addicting game.
