I just read a story on CNN Tech about the developer of Trism. It was an excellent story that really captured the opportunity that the App Store offers. Many of you may feel as connected to this story as I do. If you have been around the jailbreak scene for long, you will remember that Trism first came out as a jailbroken application. Even in it’s first release it was a game worth talking about! We saw it go through a few updates and once the App Store arrived, we saw it merge into the App Store. The game has always been well developed and a fair price ($4.99 – as both a jailbroke and App Store app. Though, it is currently available for $2.99). The CNN story talks about the developer’s success in the App Store.

The update eveyone’s been waiting for is finally here! Google has release the update to Google Mobile App that includes voice search. On the iPhone, it uses the built in proximity sensor to begin recording when you hold the iPhone up to you ear. It will beep when the recording begins and when you stop talking or pull the iPhone away from your ear it stops. It then sends the recording to Google’s servers where it does the processing. Then it sends back search results, some which will launch the phone or maps applications. You can also tap the magnifying glass to the left of the search bar to change your search from iPhone & Web to Maps, Images, News, Shopping or Wikipedia. I haven’t tested the voice search in the car where there’s background noise but inside where it’s quite it’s working great.
At $4.99, My Little Tank is a little expensive but still a fun and challenging game. There lots of customizable settings, you can control with the accelerometer or touch screen, and there’s 80 levels. You basically drive the tank around and it automatically shoots for you and you just aim at the bad guys. Some times you go on the attack while other times you defend your home base. It gets harder than I thought and both the touch screen controls and the accelerometer work well. Not only do you attack other tanks and bases but there are bonus items to grab that will give you better weapons, speed or freeze the enemy. Here’s a video from the developer to show a little more detail of the game:

Blackbeard’s Assault is a game similar to Zuma. The object of the game is to remove all the balls from the path. You do this by matching three or more of the same color balls in a row. I know, sounds like the same old game you have played a million times, but this one is a step above the rest. The graphics are amazing, the game play is smooth, the sound is quality, there are enough levels/difficultly levels to satisfy even the avid game player and it is both addicting and challenging! 
MySMS is an SMS application that can be used in the place of the stock SMS app (or in conjunction with it). When you first open MySMS, you will get a pop-up saying that you are using an unregistered version of the application. You can register the application for $4.95 or $24.95. You can see what the registered versions offer by selecting Register. Once you are in the application, you will be on the main screen.
