GagBag by jamcode LLC is an application that allows you to search for the cheapest gas based on location. It looks as though you are also able to search by the type of gas you are looking for or by specific gas station. The app is currently in private beta but I’m sure it wont be too long before we see it in the AppStore. It will be interesting to see what database the information is pulled from and how up-to-date it is. If it turns out to be decent…it might be an application that ends up on the “must have” list.
This is an iPhone Blackjack application that was created on Apple’s SDK. No word as to whether or not we will see it in the App Store. But, it looks cool!
A few days ago we told you about a few application that Tapulous is set to release via the App Store. We had an idea of what we were getting with Tap Tap Revenge and Twinkle however, Friend Book was left a mystery. Well, not any more, below is a demo video of Friend Book. And, it looks like it is going to be pretty cool!
Update: Below is also a new demo video of Tap Tap Revenge showing a lot more of the new features than the leaked demo video we saw a few days ago. There is still no indication of when these apps will be available in the App Store.
Picnic Poker is an application created by Sea Lion Games. It is a “Poker inspired Puzzle Arcade game for iPhone® and iPod Touch®” There is no information about whether it will be available via the App Store but, one can only assume that is where we will see it. There is no information on the cost of the app.
Flying Rider is similar to the computer/mobile device application Line Rider. Below is a brief description of Line Rider and demo videos of both the iPhone alpha version of the physical engine and the track editor of Flying Rider and the computer version of the application (which is pretty cool). Flying Rider is said to be available via the App Store. Though, there is no information on when that will be or the cost of the application.
In Line Rider the player draws their own landscape with a simple pencil tool creating as many ramps, hills, and jumps as they can imagine. Then they send a virtual sledder careening down the course until he wipes out. The possibilities in Line Rider are only limited by the player’s imagination.
iPhone Demo Video of Flying Rider:
USA TODAY’s Edward C. Baig reviews the new 3G iPhone on the “Talking Tech” web video show. Baig gives the new iPhone 3.75 stars.
Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal has been testing the iPhone 3G for a couple weeks now and he’s posted a video review so here it is:
If you’re not sure what to do with your old iPhone this video might give you an idea. If not, I suggest jailbreaking it and keeping it around. You should be able to run an unlock process and use it as an iPod Touch with a camera, speaker and microphone and run off of Wifi. I’m going to try and use it along with my new iPhone 3G. I’ve already unlocked my current iPhone so all I have to do is swap in my new SIM from my iPhone 3G and I can use my old iPhone on the network. This way I can have a backup if my battery dies and use all the great Installer apps until the iPhone 3G is jailbroke. We know this works now because both of our iPhones are unlocked and we can swap SIMs and the phones work (using the other phone number of course). Let me know in the comments what your plans are for your old iPhone if you’re upgrading.
A little over a week ago, we wrote an article about Neverball and how Lazrhog was in the early stages of porting it to the iPhone. Well, the development has come a little further along and it seems the first release is getting closer. Below is an updated demo video…check it out!
