We’ve seen what the new iPod touch can do and this is the start of something big. We’re looking at pretty neat 3D graphics with a plethora of weapons, special moves and characters to choose from. There’s a free version out that allows limited access and a full version that unlocks all the items.

They’ve already used plants. Now it’s time to use the children.

Don’t tell me you still haven’t downloaded this wonderful freebie tower defense game. Kids vs Zombies is a pretty straightforward defense game with a fun thematic twist: kids. You control three kids — each with his own special role: sharpshooter, area of effect (demolitions), and close combat specialist to cater to varied situations of the zombie apocalypse.

Heroes III (not to be confused with Heroes of Might and Magic III) for the iPhone is similar to the already famous Mafia Wars series, except that this one is well … part III of the Heroes miniMMO for the iPhone / iPod touch. After creating an account, you will be tasked to perform acts of heroism around the virtual world populated by other players. You can also opt to upgrade your skills, form alliances and battle other players online.
It’s pretty much the tried and tested mobile MMO formula with a hero’s cape clad over it.

We can all learn a thing or two from Pepsi. The problem with big brands is that they’re so ubiquitous, you really don’t know how else to promote them with below the line campaigns. Take this latest fiasco — Pepsi had recently apologized for an iPhone app that “provided phone users with chat-up lines for “getting lucky” with 24 different types of women – including foreign exchange students and college girls.” (source)

The app objectifies women allowing you to stereotype them into different “categories” and flaunt the news to your friends through Twitter and other social media sites.

I was having a conversation with a colleague in the publishing industry. We were talking about how Nokia has been trying to promote efforts for their Comes with Music brand in different parts of the world. At one point we talked about how it seems that they want to go head to head against the iPod as the choice for music. Although it doesn’t seem evident, there is truth to this as in my hypotheses, people only keep one music library — and that would be kept in their iPod.

Sure, their phones may have music but if you can …read more

if you’re from the Philippines, you should be familiar with Click the City: a one stop shop for movie schedules, restaurant reviews and shopping guides.. Well, if you got yourself an iPhone or iPod touch, they’re there as well.

The app makes its debut at USD$3.99, which IMHO is steep for something you can access on the Internet for free. Here’s to hoping that they do something about the price. Maybe this has something to do with the location-based-services of the iPhone. We’ll see.

Alright, this might be another set of items haling from the category of “crappy iPhone accessories.” It looks awkward, but there may be something to it. The Wrap 310 allows you to view video from what looks like 55 inches of pure awesomness. The goggles themselves are more like shades and you can even attach a pair of earphones. This kind of technology is getting less and less cumbersome to wear, which makes it a viable gift for your geeky friends this Christmas.

Compatible devices include:
• All iPod/iPhone models
• Portable DVD players

My dad was addicted to Snood. So was I. It was like family bonding time before Facebook came with Farm Town. Snood was a classic. It was simple, elegant and highly addicting and its now on the iPhone / iPod touch. What makes Snood more interesting is its gearing towards social media: you can opt in for a 2 player mode that connects to Facebook to challenge your friends. There’s also a WiFi challenge mode. Overall, a brilliant time waster. I just bought it.

There are games that you pay for from the iTunes store that end up being forgotten, but …read more

Here’s a neat iPhone app find. Whether you’re ready to rough it out in the outdoors or find yourself stuck at home, there’s always going to be a way for you to be in touch with nature. The Timberland Expedition app is an extensive tool by Timberland that does a couple of things: the app updates itself with regular playlists which you can listen to, so you have new music all the time. Timber Trail is Timberland’s game that puts you on a hiking trail adventure. Lastly, you can search for hiking expeditions from Timberland’s built in database of places …read more

If you own an iPhone 3G or 3GS and have been contemplating buying satellite navigation for your dashboard, you may want to check out TomTom’s SatNav app for the iPhone. Though it costs a hefty USD80 to 130 depending on where you’re from, it is still tons cheaper than buying your own satellite navigation hardware for your dashboard.

The plethora of navigation options won’t disappoint allowing 2D or 3D mapping, map browsing, search, point plotting, and more.
Funny addition in the end — the video author has an interesting makeshift dashboard dock made out of sticky tape.
