CES Update and Chevon Hicks Meeting

My first post from CES, and you can see that the booth is coming along swimmingly, and the iPhoneLife team is just about ready for prime-time.



Review: Ant Conflict by Art Core Gaming

image

When describing a game it’s pretty common practice to say “it’s like…”  Well, to finish that phrase for Ant Conflict I’d say “It’s like chess”.  In fact, I’d wager to say that if you want to be any good at it, you’ll have to take the time to study the board like you would a game of chess.  Unfortunately, I’m not that patient.  Thankfully I’ve learned to like games even when I’m not very good at them, and I like Ant Conflict.  The characters are cool, the game is challenging, and brute force is not an option.



Great lists of best apps in over 40 categories

I'm going to take the unusual step of blogging about a resource even though my fellow blogger Tari just covered it. And this reason is — this is the best resource I've ever seen for finding useful apps. This page on Mashable directs you to lists of the best apps in an amazing array of categories — from "60+ Free Classic Tabletop Games for the iPhone" to "50+ Free iPhone Apps to Make You Richer." There are over 40 such lists.



At CES - TGiPhone

We made it to CES.

I used the iPhone to check our flight status, check traffic to the airport and amused myself during the flight.

The press party was packed! We got our badges and are ready to hit the floor.

TGIF for the iPhone. My room doesn't have pay-per-view. I'm going rent a movie on iTunes right on my iPhone and watch that instead. I deserve better than broadcast TV!

Forget the Melatonin - Try this app!

image

Melatonin is an alarm clock app for the iPhone, but unlike other alarm clocks, this one is peaceful and almost hypnotic!

An adorable yellow bird sits on a rock in a sunlight yard. When you’re ready to go to sleep, you tap the bird, and night begins to fall. The little bird says “Goodnight” and proceeds to twitter gently as the sun slowly goes down and the stars begin to twinkle. You can set how long you want sunset to last or skip this altogether.



Heading to CES

image

My son and I are heading to CES (Consumer Electronic Show) today.  I will focus on cool stuff for moms and kids.  My son will focus on what every 19 year old boy will focus on.....Games!!!

I will post updates of the cool things I find - right from the CES floor - using my iPhone, of course.

Watch out Vegas - here I come!

Bonus points if you can name the girl with my son.  (Not his girlfriend, he wishes!!)



Moodagent — free app for generating playlists

image

Moodagent has only been out about three weeks and already has over 200,000 downloads and is currently averaging 25,000 downloads a day. Pretty impressive. It's a freebie that lets you move sliders to indicate the type of music you want to hear, and in seconds it generates playlists. It uses the song's actual content to make recommendations based on digital analysis of the music. This is in contrast to Apple's Genius, which makes recommendations based on purchase history.

Why Christmas is the best day to sell iPhone Apps

Nick Campbell of ShakeItPhoto fame noted:

So, I updated my AppViz software when I got home today and surprisingly, I saw a big bump in my ShakeItPhoto sales on Christmas day. This got me thinking about what would cause such a spike. What would cause my sales to practically double going into Christmas?

And here's the video he made on the subject:
