Bing for iOS updates with HTML5 features, now more like the Windows Phone app we know and love
6 months ago | POSTED IN iPhone
Bing Search is one of the things we like about the Windows Phone platform. Sure it’s search results aren’t as far reaching as Google but the local search, particularly the Local Scout feature are one of the things that it does really well. The latest updates to Bing for iOS bring some of that fetching Metro UI look and feel to the search engine, or “decision engine,” as Microsoft are calling it. As well as allowing you to perform web searches, there’s a local...

Opera Mini 6.5 heads to iPhones, BlackBerry, Symbian and Java phones, puts a cap on your data
6 months ago | POSTED IN iPhone
Opera Mini 6.5 has been sitting pretty in the Android Market for a while now and its now warbling all over the App Store, BlackBerry App World and Nokia World as well as serenading Java-based phones. What’s great about this latest iteration of Opera Mini is that, like the Android version, a data usage tracker is built in to the browser itself, which allows you to see how much data your web browsing habits are hoovering up. This sounds ideal if you’re on a limited budget and...

Best Zombie games for iPhone
6 months ago | POSTED IN iPhone
It used to be vampires and werewolves that scared us. But now, with those old horror staples relegated to fighting for the affection of a sullen, lip-biting teenage girl, it’s the humble zombie that has risen to prominence as the horror icon of the modern age. Sure, ghosts are making a bit of a comeback – you only need to look at the opening weekend figures for Paranormal Activity 3 to see that – but when it comes to games, it’s the shambling gait of those undead...

6 months ago | POSTED IN iPhone
Angry Birds Seasons has gone all Hallowe’eny on us again, bringing another 30 levels to the holiday-themed table. This time round, Rovio has bunged in an extra treat along with the tricky new levels, in the form of a brand new bird. Starting off as a little orange critter, this new bird has a deceptive secondary function. Much like the black bomb birds which explode mid-flight when you tap the screen, the new bird... well, we won’t ruin the surprise for you. But its safe to say that...

Boots launches Treat Street Trolley Dash app
7 months ago | POSTED IN iPhone
Supply of plasters running dangerously low? One bad weekend away from total paracetomol bankruptcy? Never fear, Boots is here, with its new Treat Street Trolley Dash app. The Boots app is a cross between an Ocado-style shopping app for Boots products and a saccharine, top-down game in which you pilot some dappy redhead around in a shopping trolley. It's a weird addition to what would otherwise just be a normal shopping app; you tap the screen to jump over obstacles like banana skins and...

Food shoppers seem to be split into two camps: those that love food and scouting for bargains and those that hate it with a passion. Online shopping has been around for a while.

In convenience terms, the next step is being able to order from mobile phone via an app. Here we’re checking out what the apps...

Angry Birds set to invade Singapore Grand Prix this weekend with a crowd-noise controlled game
7 months ago | POSTED IN iPhone
In terms of tenuous Angry Birds tie-ins we’ve heard of, this one takes pole position in the crazy-stakes. We’ve seen political satire, cake making and big budget Hollywood synergies but they all pale compared to this. Rovio along with fellow Finnish company Uplause have, with Singapore Telecommunications, created a huge crowd controlled version of Angry Birds. According to Reuters, the ‘game’ will be played by the noise made by the crowd. This Uplause trailer which we...

Top 10 Augmented Reality Apps
8 months ago | POSTED IN iPhone
Augmented Reality, AR. It means your smartphone uses visual input, and combines it with online data and overlays that onto what you see; this can mean extra geographic information, or a visual representation that adjusts depending on how you move your phone. Smartphones have only recently developed into devices with enough power to deal with augmented reality apps, and combining camera input with streaming data will still sap your battery pretty quickly. But you'll find some of the most...
