Nintaii 2 Comes to iPhone
Gamers on the iPhone have long sense shown a love of using Apple’s star mobile device to play a range of puzzle games, but Nintaii, which derives its name from the Japanese word for ‘patience’, has been a real favorite. That is why reviewers were not surprised to see Nintaii 2 coming out from Concrete Software, Inc. recently. The first version of the game had developed a strong following that Concrete had planned to build upon early on and the challenging game play promised to invoke the tradition of increasing level count in this latest version. In all there will be one hundred brand new levels in Nintaii 2 to test the gamer’s patience and endurance at this strategic puzzle title. Since the first version was a huge seller in the App Store, the follow up will offer obstacles and challenges that push gamers to their intellectual limits using the same format that earned the first title its fame for ease of play and thrill.
An increasing complexity is part of the package and gamers can expect to be faced with some of the most extreme challenges of the Nintaii series so far in this second game. A social media aspect has been added so that players can join a gaming community for Nintaii 2 fans where they will be able to check out tips and strategies, plus share some of their own if they are so inclined. The core game of rolling the block through a maze has been preserved, but more interaction means more chances for bobbles that can cost players the puzzle.
iPhone Gets App for Architectural Tourism
As the iPhone from Apple continues to move up from simply another mobile device to one of the core products that consumers are using as life style technology, its horizons continue to broaden and include a huge number of different apps for a variety of interests. One of the latest comes from PrairieMod, the company that previously brought out a Teco pottery line, developers of iPhone apps that capture the inspiration that society has been given from great architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and others who have shaped the face of the world as we know it today. Their app, called FanGuide, is designed to highlight great works of architecture and act as a pocket field guide for users on the go. The app allows users to put their iPhone to work as a mini tour guide that will take fans of building design through places such as Palm Springs, Los Angeles, River Forest and Oak Park in Illinois, and even the Loop in Chicago.
While more cities are on the way, the concept is quite simple and that is that there is text and narration for each of the areas that are covered in the tour. With interactive maps to showcase certain buildings and audio or video clips to present some of the areas’ histories, it is expected that the FanGuide will be updated as time passes and bring a lot of innovation to the table for those who want to take self guided tours of beautiful places.
OLED Screen to Be Part of iPhone 4G
While many in the media have been abuzz about the potential of the upcoming Apple iPad, there has been a quiet hum of potential which is coming in with the expected arrival of the latest in Apple’s iPhone line up, the iPhone 4G. This will be the latest generation of the famed iPhone and is expected to be shown off in the near future as the official 2010 model of the device. The expected incentives for purchasing this mobile phone will most likely be tied to a lower price point and even further upgraded hi tech features because this has been a real tradition for the iPhone up until this point. There are a large number of features that have analysts and reviewers alike very excited about this latest incarnation of the device and suggest it may well do a lot more business than even its predecessor given the higher level of innovation that is expected this time around.
The premiere feature which has the experts in the smart phone industry in an frenzy is the the suggestion that what is referred to as ‘gesture based technology’ will be making a debut on this particular rendition of the iPhone. With only a quick finger swipe users will be able to access the full range of features built into their device without having to tap exclusively and this can lead to better one handed use of the device. This should be even more ground breaking than what is expected for the upcoming iPad.
