X-Plane released for iPhone!

Austin Meyer and his team have released X-Plane for the iPhone! Being a huge fan of flight simulation, this is a double-bonus for me

You can read more about this stunning app over on FlightSimX.

iPhone Spore released

I’m delighted to see that Spore has been released for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

I’ve just purchased the app and will be writing a full review, but in the meantime, here are some of the key features:

• Tilt, turn and twist your way through the primordial ooze with your motion-sensing accelerometer
• Pinch, pull and poke your creation in the Creature Editor, customizing the texture, shape and body parts to fit the way you play
• Personalise your game-play by skinning your creature with pictures from your device’s Photo Albums (interesting!)
• Experience 2 exciting game modes – Evolution and Survival
• Navigate trecherous caverns to explore various strange worlds
• Enjoy vivid graphics, dynamic animations and atmospheric music on your evolutionary journey

You can purchase Spore from the iTunes App Store.

Busy day for iPhone users on September 9th

September 9th, looks to be a busy day for iPhone users. It looks like some significant updates are due that day, including possibly iTunes 8 and the iPhone 2.1 firmware update.

Many sites are reporting on the potential of some previously unannounced additional functionality for the phone with the firmware update and also, hopefully a bug fix for the “frozen apps” problem.

Also due is the iPhone version of Spore, which I’m sure is going to keep people hooked.

iPhone 3G Telescope!

I’m fairly convinced this must be a joke, but Coolest Gadgets has posted details about a telescope for your iPhone 3G!

If it is a wind up, it’s a pretty good one

Has anyone seen or used one of these things? Does it really exist? I’d love to find out!

Get synching with Things

The latest iPhone version (1.1) of Things – my favourite GTD app – now supports synchronisation with its desktop counterpart.

Setting up the sync is a doddle. Make sure both your iPhone and Mac are on the same network, select iPhone from the Preferences menu, start Things on your iPhone, enter the supplied access code and you’re all set. From then on, as soon as the app is open on both your Mac and iPhone, they’ll automatically sync themselves.

This latest functionality now escalates Things to being my favourite iPhone app.
