OMG! Space Invaders has never looked this good. What starts out as a simple retro-style Space Invaders on the iPhone turns into a fast paced space shooter that requires quick reflexes and an ability to discern between the distorted line graphics and screen flashes.

The “Infinity Gene” aspect of the game adds to the overall replay value despite having only 38 stages. Infinity Gene is a cross between Space Invaders and Gradius, allowing you to pick up power ups that automatically fire — that means your touch controls are dedicated to steering the ship.

Buy it now from the iTunes store (USD 4.99)

The Palm Pre is looking good in time for its June 6 launch. Unveiled, the Pre’s drive mode allows for the sncing of DRM free music to iTunes which means you CAN start using the Pre as an iPod. No word about syncing other items like Audiobooks, but we’re sure Apple won’t be allowing DRM enabled music from their iTunes store.

If you’re planning on getting the beta for iPhone 3.0, we suggest not taking the risk as there are reports of you having to re-purchase applications that were downloaded before, thus having to pay for them all over again. We’re sure Apple will refund you through the store when 3.0 comes out, but I persoanlly would rather not take the risk.

Almost every song you’ve heard broadcast, every feature film soundtrack and every night-club mix was created in part with a sampler. Composers, sound designers, DJs, record producers, studio musicians and live musicians use samplers in their everyday work. Now you can too!

Voicekeyboard has flexible memory allowing you to keep adding or removing different sounds in and out at any time, you are not stuck with the “stock” set of sounds that come with it. Just record the sound you want into it and play away! [source]

OK folks, go crazy! First come, first served!

Secure Upright in a shirt pocket, on a lanyard, on your neck, or however best works for you. Assume your optimum posture and then just tap to calibrate. Upright instantly begins tracking your posture. Tap again to pause or to re-calibrate. Upright will alert you when your posture is off track. Choose from vibration (iPhone only), sound, or visual alerts. Configure the slouch-sensitivity and time period before you are alerted to create a posture tracker suited to your needs.

The Upright App retails for $1.99 from the iTunes store. You can check it out here.

Lim, who is in fourth grade, writes applications for Apple’s popular iPhone. His latest, a painting program called Doodle Kids, has been downloaded over 4,000 times from Apple’s iTunes store in two weeks, the New Paper reported on Thursday.[source]

Like father, like son – his father also writes iPhone apps and has a “friendly competition” with his son to see who has the more downloaded apps for the week.

Happy Halloween! Here’s a nifty little application for the iPhone that pans the screen across a graveyard with matching ambient horror effects (thunder + screams!), and if you tap it, you’ll see blood spattered from shotgun fire. You can trace the blood across the screen too!

Check it out at the App Store (Warning: Launches iTunes).

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

iTunes Unlimited
-256 Kbps music; highest quality digital music subscription service ever
-50% of U.S. store available for iTunes Unlimited at launch, U.S.-only launch
-Available through iTunes or retail box a la MobileMe, funds applied through iTunes gift cards cannot be used towards subscription purchase
-$129.99 stand-alone or $179.99 with MobileMe, current MobileMe subscribers can add iTunes Unlimited for $99.99
-One-year subscription period
-Current a la carte options unchanged
-When signed in to subscription account, “Buy” is “Get”
-“Download and Play throughout iTunes Unlimited Subscription” or “Buy and Keep”
-“Buy and Keep” option available for downloaded subscription songs, purchased version replaces subscription version
- Late October launch with iTunes 7.8

Quoted are the predictions – speculations mostly for this service. I think that if Apple were to launch something like this, now would be an ideal time to do so for the following reasons:

1. The $129.00 service can be a value added ace for people who have been thinking of buying an iPhone, but still have not succumbed to the hype.

2. They should do it because Microsoft’s Zune store is doing it, at a yearly fee with unlimited downloads (the Zune Pass allows you to grab your XBOX Live friend’s entire playlist as well – so cool!). With Amazon offering DRM free music, Microsoft offering a superior Zune Pass product, Apple needs to reinvent the 0.99 cents per song very soon!
