Archade Hockey to hit App Store soon
October 31, 2008
Ben Jackson, Owner and Technical Director of Brainjuice, LLC, spoke about an iPhone application called Arcade Hockey. The application is a table hockey game that is apparently a ton of fun.
The game is set to release into the App Store in early to mid November, no word on how much it will cost. The game is very well written and executed. Posted are a few screenshots of the simple yet addictive game play. Arcade Hockey is a one or two player game. The game allows you to choose the size of the paddles and pucks as well as the version of the game. The versions include Standard, Arcade Deck or Boomerang Style.
The game play is played just as the average air hockey game most citizens are use to. You control your paddle with the tip of your finger, trying not to let the puck get in your goal. Physics are reported to be spot on, reacting precisely as you would expect it to in real life. Greg Hughes went on to say, “As a former air hockey addict, I can say that game is quite a bit of fun…
Microsoft Puts Booths In Front Of Apple Store
October 31, 2008
Microsoft has setup a booth just outside the Apple Store, Bullring, Birmingham. The booth looks like it will aim to turn patrons away from the Mac store by the next few days. As part of Microsoft’s new $300 million advertising campaign, Microsoft has invited visitors to its website to upload their own videos and photos to show “how they, too, are PCs”. that is probably a response from Microsoft to Apple’s “I’m a Mac” ads. To be honest, Apple will probably just manufacture fun of Microsoft’s latest attempt to look trendy and fun, so we’ll just wait and see what the response from Apple is.

In preparation for these sales, Nintendo has already shipped 200,000 units of the DSi, and plans to ship another 100,000 during the following week. Global credit crunch or not, Nintendo looks like it’s in for a busy Christmas period.

Apple says no to Opera Mini
October 31, 2008
Many mobile phone enthusiasts can testify that Opera Mini is a really nice mobile web Browser. Reports have surfaced stating that Apple has rejected an Opera Mini application for the iPhone. Chances are Apple will say that they refused it considering it copies a feature that the iPhone already has in place.
Opera Mini has found its way to several phones including many high-end phones such as the BlackBerry, as well as many feature phones such as the Helio Ocean. We have personally had a good hands on with Opera Mini and a few of us will argue that is has more to offer than Safari. Opera is a full-featured browser that looks great when browsing the web. Handset makers are paying Opera around 50 cents to $1 for each phone that is made with the Browser on it.
For lower-end phones and those on slower networks can benefit from Opera Mini considering an Opera server computer handles the processing of web pages rather than the phone itself. The server next sends a compressed version of the…

Sharp Aquos 931SH Fulltouch Phone has a crazy 3.8-inch 1024×480 display!
October 31, 2008
Sharp has decided that it would win the screen resolution war, at least temporarily. Its new handset, the Aquos Fulltouch is a touch phone with a big 3.8″, 1024×480 pixels display. Now we can talk about movie quality. That’s not it, it has a physical sliding keyboard too, although not a QWERTY one, which is a bit dumb, since a touch screen is really good at emulating a numeric pad. that beats the HTC Touch HD screen resolution. Wow! There’s no word on how smart that phone actually is. By the look of the user interface, my hopes are low.
