Lazrhog, who also brought us NOIZ2SA, rRootage and iZoo, is in the early stages of porting Neverball to the iPhone. So, if the games he has already brought us aren’t cool enough, here is another one!! Using the accelerometer, the object of the game is to move the ball around the course collecting as many coins as possible. Check out the demo videos below.
Note: This app is not available yet…it is still in the early stages of development!
Here is a pretty cool game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It is not available yet and there isn’t much information about it. But, it makes me think that 12 days seems like forever!!
We talked about Spin the Black iPhone a few days ago and posted a demo video. The developer has posted another video showing the application using the iPhone’s or iPod Touch’s built-in accelerometer. Check it out below. I added the previous demo video as well, just as a reminder!

This video by ScrollMotion, describes exactly what the iPhone is capable of doing! The possibilities are endless. Below is some very brief information about ScrollMotion and the video.
“ScrollMotion has already built three iPhone applications for the media conglomerate Tribune, and has 25 more iPhone projects for other clients in the works. “We’ll be building out [iPhone] applications for the next two years,” he says. One free, ad-supported application for Tribune that’s expected to be available when the App Store launches keeps track of an iPhone owner’s commute, estimates the travel time, and suggests alternative routes.” [Read more...]
Here is another application that has been developed on Apple’s SDK and is ready for the App Store. It does not say if it will actually be in the App Store or how much it will be. It is just a simple little app…demo videos below.

While you wait, you can play Spin the Black Circle HERE via your computer.
The Hedgewars team is working with ZodTTD to get the Hedgewars game ported to the iPhone (currently available for Windows and Linux). The game is in development and there is no information on when it will be released or whether it will be available via the AppStore of Installer. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Below is more info about Hedgewars and a demo video.
Hedgewars is a turn based, multiplayer, strategy game based on the ever so wonderful Worms Armageddon. In Hedgewars players take it in turns to control their team of hedgehogs, wielding a variety of wacky weaponry in order to annihilate the other team(s)! You can try the windows/linux versions over at Hedgewars (although we have progressed greatly from the current official release.) [Read more...]

Here is a video from the The Center for Collaborative Control of Unmanned Vehicles (C3UV) at the University of California, Berkeley. They are an, “interdisciplinary group focusing on the fundamental theoretical developments necessary to allow teams of unmanned vehicles to operate autonomously, without extensive monitoring and intervention by human operators.” And, what better way control a drone then via an iPhone! Using a web browser via the iPhone they are able to input coordinates, give the drone certain tasks and even give the drone new tasks while it is in flight! Check out the video below:
