Press Release: Twice from HeroCraft

Twice is a new logic and memory game from HeroCraft.  It is available for practically all systems:  Windows Mobile, Palm, iPhone/iTouch, Blackberry, Series 60 v.3, and UIQ v.3.  Twice puts a new spin on the classic memory game.  The object of the game is to flip over the tiles one-by-one, and remember the pattern on the other side.  When you select two identical tiles, you score points.  Match all of the tiles to complete the level, and move on to the next one.  The game has three different modes:  a race against time, a limited number of attempts, or no limit at all.   HeroCraft has also added soothing Oriental music and magical graphics.  I don’t know about you, but anything that will help my memory is a good thing.  Throw in a little fun and relaxation, and I am all set.

Check out the full press release after the jump.

 

 

MyPhone Mobile Client gets an Update!

microsoftmyphone

Just a quick heads up, the mobile client for Microsoft’s MyPhone service, got an update today. There aren’t any obvious differences, except doing multiple syncs with the service are remembered and get quicker.

Which probably means that using the scheduling option, is more of a viable choice now, consuming much less data.

As for the online portal, it seems a little better at the moment, but it is time intensive to archive all of your data there, a great thing would be a ‘select all’ option for archiving your data. Nice to see though that MS are continuing to improve, what is intended to be an integral service in their ongoing mobile development.

All you have to do to get the update is open the client on your phone and sync, at the end of synchronisation you  will get an update message, you have a choice to delay the update as well.

Thanks to @EdHans for the news!

My Last Cigarette for iPhone – and more!

Alright, let’s be honest. There’s not an application on the planet that can get you to stop smoking. I’ve tried them all – coach apps, hypnosis, you name it I’ve probably wasted money on it. I’m making it day to day simply by taking pills (Chantix) which even that didn’t really get me to stop – its something you just have to make the decision on. But, through all my trials and tribulations of trying to quit and stay quit there’s been one application thats always there – and that’s My Last Cigarette from Mastersoft.

Again reality is ONLY YOU can make the decision to stop smoking. MLC is there as my reminder – my reminder of the decision I made, the money I’m saving, how my health is improving and how many people have lost their lives to the addiction since I stopped. These are all powerful reminders and motivators. Sure – MLC doesn’t have a ton of bells and whistles. It doesn’t need them. It does what it needs to do to keep you on the path to a better, cigarette free life.

A short while ago (without Dom even saying anything to us) My Last Cigarette was released for the iPhone. I bought it the minute I saw it. Here’s some really good news for the folks like me who love this app! From now until July 1st – Owners of MLC for Windows Mobile get MLC for FREE! If you don’t own MLC yet for WinMo – Check out MLC for the iPhone on iTunes

I’m not quite sure on the details of how to get your free copy (Dom didn’t mention it in his email), so I’ll make sure we get those details. Along with that Mastersoft is looking for beta testers for SuDoku and Kakuro and some other stuff, so for now I’m just going to recommend you stop by Mastersoft Mobile Solutions. I’m sure Dom will be around shortly to leave us some details in the comments.

Review: Cocktails Made Easy…A Full Bar (of sorts) on Your iPhone

IMG_0304

When I was in college, I lived in an apartment with two other guys.  Our kitchen had a peninsula style counter with a large open cabinet underneath.  Since none of us cooked much, we didn’t really use that space for pots, pans, or utensils.  At some point, one of us got the bright idea of fashioning it into a bar.  Perfect! Now, I will leave it to you to decide how a bunch of underage college kids were able to procure all of the ingredients for a full fledged bar, but we did.  And I was – more often than not – the designated barkeep, which suited me just fine.  Now, I had never mixed drinks before, so my new best friend became a small drink mixing book with simple instructions and ingredients.  Something along the lines of 1,001 drinks you can make from home.  If only I had the iPhone back then, my life could have been made much simpler with this app from Fizz Software.

Review: Cellet Executive Case for the Blackberry Curve

For gadget lovers everywhere there is one point that I must emphasize over and over again:  Protection, Protection, Protection.  What good is having a shiny new device that no longer works?  Screen protectors are a step in the right direction, but a case is the ultimate.  Its the difference between having a bb gun for protection, or a shot gun.  For me, a case not only has to protect, but I want some fashion thrown in as well.  There is no law saying you can’t have both function and flair.  I put the Cellet Executive Case for Blackberry to the test.  See what I learned after the break.
