Variety In Iphone Apps

Posted by Shaun Oan under iphone applications on Sunday Aug 29, 2010

Apple’s biggest success story is arguably the iPhone. With revolutionary touch screen technology, mobile internet browsing, email, downloadable apps and a built in iPod it’s easy to see why. One of the key reasons the phone has received such success is the wide range of apps available from the app store.

No real surprise there. The app store has more than 190,000 different apps and has, since its launch, enjoyed more than 5 billion downloads. A win-win situation, you could say. Developers all over the world can create applications and distribute them widely, either at a cost or for free. Apple gets a commission on paid apps. The end user then benefits from a constantly growing selection of applications for their handset.

And the variety really is huge. You can download games, utilities, informational apps, eCommerce and anything else in between. In fact you could argue that if something is possible on the iPhone, that someone has already developed it, or in the least, is in the process.

Some of the most popular apps are from well known online businesses such as eBay and Amazon, who create eCommerce applications, enabling their users to shop on the move. Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter also have apps that allow users to stay connected. But the most downloaded apps are host to a surprising number of small companies. No one had heard of Lima Sky LLC before the addictive iPhone game, ‘Doodle Jump’ became one of the top grossing apps of all time.

This reflects what is arguably so amazing about the app store – sheer variety. Apps let you play virtual musical instruments, network with friends and professional contacts or turn your iPhone into a torch. The recent release of the iPhone, with even more functionality, means the number and variety of apps on the app store is likely only to continue.

Cool And Fantastic Games For Your iPhone!

Posted by Thom Yarbrough under iphone applications on Thursday Oct 22, 2009

There’s really very little chance for you to get bored when you have a phone like the iPhone in your hand. So what happens when you want to play a game but you’re on your own? There are loads of games in iTunes which are meant for solitary play and although these might not be as fun as group games using the iPhone, they still cut the mustard.

Who Said That?

If you’re a movie buff and you can easily recall famous one liners, then play this fast paced game where you have to identify the movie by the dialog. Chances are that you might not get it right and you will quickly understand just how good(or bad) you actually are! The game also has a bonus round where you can select how many you think you will get right.

Analyze Handwriting

The fascination from handwriting analyses is never too old and never dies out. It’s amazing how so much about a person’s personality can be found out with a few squiggles on a piece of paper. With this app, you can now see for yourself if all that they say is true or not. All you need to do is download it and write down the sentence or word that it asks you to, with your finger or an appropriate stylus.

Free Letter Bug

Even those who proclaim that they cannot stand word games will be transformed when they play this game. It’s great fun and helps to improve your vocabulary as well as spelling ability. Letters are scattered on the screen in layers, and the top most one is the active layer from which you have to choose the letters and make words, spelling them correctly. More points for long letters and the faster you do, the better your score will be. You can also shake the screen to scramble the letters.

Oh my word!

Is this game cool or what! And what’s better is that it’s not even half as gory as some of the hangman games that you’ll find on the iTunes store. It may be far easier on the eyes, but this game is definitely not easier to play. Here, you get two words and a blank word in between, what you need to do is guess the blank word with help of the two words given and also whether it comes before or after either of these words. You need plenty of logic and lateral thinking for this game, have fun!
