Some Apple iPhone Applications

If you’ve got your new iPhone, but have been showing it off to everyone that you haven’t had time to see what it can actually do, here are some simple and fun applications to get you started:

1) Crash Bandicoot Nitro (£6)
A silly but addictive version of MarioCart with a bandicoot instead. Great fun.

2) Truphone VoIP (Free)
Free calls to other Truphone users and great international rates.

3) Brain Challenge (£6)
A slightly cheeky take on a popular game, but just as fun.

4) Pennies (£1.80)
An income tracker that allows you (if you have the time) to track what you spend on what and how much you have left!

5) BeatNaker (£12)
This application allows you to make your own music using simple musical components but can be a bit fiddly to get used to.

With not quite the most child-friendly title, this console game is sure to be a huge hit for the ‘generation 30′ population.

We all remember when the first film came out with squeaky receptionist Janine, and Sigourney Weavers giant hair - and when Bill Murray got totally ’slimed’. We also (sadly) remember the platform game that came out shortly afterwards where you drove their contraption-filled ‘ambulance’ around the streets for what seemed like ‘forever’.

Well this is certainly going to be different!

Apparently Dan Aykroyd is heavily involved with the design and layout of the game, and thinks that this is almost like the third film in the series. But why make a game instead of another film? He said he just liked the idea of the look, and the way is referred back to the first film and had that ‘classic look’.

Available for xBox - PS3 - PS2 - Wii - DS and for the PC - the story details for the game are under tight wraps say TotalFilm, who got an inside interview - but it isn’t due to hit the shops until Christmas 2008.

They did, however, manage to gather the following details:

Rule Number 1 - Don’t cross the streams!!!

• Your character joins the GhostBusters as a rookie in New York
• The first scene is against an old lady in the library
• You get to battle Slimer in the hotel - just like the original movie
• End of section fight out with Mr StayPuft

Go to www.ghostbustersgame.com for some insight graphics from the opening and more details - this includes getting slimed yourself!!!

This months T3 magazine has details of the top 100 gadgets we love to love - everything from chainsaws to swiss army knives and from hovercrafts to inflatable jackets (?)

Needless to say - as with the title here - I’m only going to list the Top 10 - as voted by you:

Number 1 - Apple iPod Touch 32GB
From mapping to music, from weather reports to widgets, this new and 32GB capacity little toy just had to be the best! This beautiful video playing PDA is a must, with it’s sleek features and touch-screen technology to make your life sooo much easier!

Number 2 - Nintendo Wii Console
If you can actually manage to get hold of one - you are one of the blessed. With unrivalled gaming action and wireless control, it is simple to use - even for girls! Not only does it improve some existing games, it comes with a few exclusives……

Number 3 - Sony PS3 Console
Another console - some more amazing features. Although it costs more than the Wii, it have propelled Blu-ray technology further than anything else…..

Number 4 - Asus Eee PC Laptop
Wow - this miniature ’smooth’ white laptop - loses none of it’s pzazz with it’s smaller size - only a 7″ screen. With 4GB of storeage, Wi-Fi and a webcam it is the perfect travel companion so you can stay in touch.

Number 5 - Phillips 32PFL9632D LCD TV
What a name! This 32″ LCD television will have you believing you are inside of your game - whether it’s fast driving action or more mellow movies - you won’t believe your eyes!

Number 6 - B & W Zeppelin iPod Dock
No fancy attachments to this one - just high quality sound from a visually pleasing but un-intrusive iPod dock. No frills - just great sound.

Number 7 - Apple iPhone 16GB
Phone, Internet and iPod - what more could you want? Well for around the same price - why not try it’s big brother - you’ll find him at the number 1 slot!!!!!

Number 8 - Tonium Pacemaker
This 120GB MP3 player is the perfect mixing tool - not only can you listen to great music, you can slice, dice and mix tunes as you will - and all in a package no bigger than a Nintendo DS.

Number 9 - Marantz SA-7S1
This one is for the glamour boys amongst you. A gold plated audio cd player that heaven has blessed mere mortals with - and the hefty £5K price tag shows that you won’t find these at the local youth club! You want exclusive - you want great sound - then you want this!

Number 10 - Sanyo Xacti HD1000 camcorder
With 60 frames per second recording, this little gift far exceeds what you’ll get from it’s nearest HD rivals and at a lower cost (for those who want to save your money for the number 9 slot). Incredibly easy to use and records to an SD card for yet more quality.

PS - The R2D2 home cinema system was at number 17, and the motorised skateboard was all the way back at 94!
