image

So far, I haven't dedicated a separate article to AnyPlayer (AppStore link) because I didn't consider it a viable alternative to the most powerful players in the AppStore (It's Playing, GoodPlayer, AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer, BUZZ Player) or, for jailbroken iDevices, Cydia (XBMC, RushPlayer+).

Today's update boasts better performance (as usual, click the image for a bigger version!):

Photos of iPhone 5 parts reveal details of appearance

If you want to know what the next iPhone will probably look like, head on over to 9To5Mac. They've got a number of photos of the various parts of the iPhone 5, including the aluminum back plate, the frame, and the front glass. These parts are in accord with the latest rumors: a taller device with a 4-inch screen, a smaller dock connector, and a relocated headphone jack. In addition, the front-facing camera is now centered. It's interesting to see the two-tone design on the back.

I recently changed the premium music service on my iPad from Spotify to MOG. At the time I made the change Spotify did not have an iPad app. Even though Spotify does have an iPad app now, I am sticking with MOG.

I have a good friend who is a dentist, and he wanted to put an iPad in front of patients so they could be entertained during longer procedures. So when I saw the SpiderArm, I figured it would be just the ticket. Indeed, with all of the options, and the sleek white design, the SpiderArm looks just like a typical dental tool.



Review: Bubble Pig by Donut Games

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Donut Games is the king of causal arcade games.  They often manage to take a silly premise and turn it into quite the enjoyable product, which is exactly the case with Bubble Pig.  The idea of an overweight pig bouncing around a forest consuming everything edible in sight and avoiding foxes doesn’t really sound all that enthralling, but when you put the patent Donut Games spin on it the game becomes both interesting and quite challenging.  I’m not going to put this at the top of the Donut Games’ chart, but it certainly has their trademark quality level.



Enhancing the video camera of the iPad 3: sorry, impossible, it seems

I have some bad news for you iPad 3 owners looking for further enhancing the (otherwise, resolution-wise, excellent (dedicated article)) video camera of the tablet.
