Tozai Announces Lode Runner Classic for iOS and Android

Maybe it’s just a coincidence but . . . the other day I followed a link to an article on The Verge about old video game (and pinball) arcades and how they’ve basically died off.  But then today I got this announcement from Tozai about iOS and Android versions of Load Runner.  Is it the [...]

Super Stickman Golf 2 Scheduled to be Released Early This Year

I fondly remember playing Super Stickman Golf on my HTC Thunderbolt after I got it for free thanks to the Amazon App Store’s daily free app promotions.  It was one of my favorite games on Android for a long time.  I downloaded it thinking it would be an interesting time waster; I never would have [...]

Paramount Pictures and Qualcomm Announce Unprecedented “Star Trek Into Darkness” App

You know, it’s kind of funny for me; I’ve been a nerd for almost as long as I can remember, and crazy about anything space-related.  I was a wee one during the Apollo missions, and I’m sure that effected me strongly. But back then, being fanatical about Star Trek–I wanted to be Mr. Spock–was weird [...]

IK Multimedia Brings Mobile Music to Android with iRig Recorder

For me, one of the deciding negatives regarding Android has been the lack of a low-latency core audio system as is found in iOS. And while that hasn’t been solved at a system level, talented developers such of products such as FL Studio have been working on their own solutions. Now IK Multimedia takes the [...]

Heart and Breath Rate Monitoring App for Android is Now Enhanced with Finger Pressed Feature

Not too long ago, I was overweight.  Not fat–or at least, people kept insisting that I wasn’t fat–but for a guy who’s always been skinny, I felt fat.  Unfortunately, I have a plate in neck and chronic post-surgical pain, so I’m “not allowed” to do anything genuinely strenuous.  No soccer, ultimate frisbee, or even running [...]

Garmin Premium Navigation Apps 50% Off for Black Friday

Oh Black Friday, we can’t quit you! We’ve talked quite a bit about Apple’s mapping app and how lame it was at first.  (I have no idea if it’s gotten any better; I’ve been avoiding it, quite frankly.)  This naturally opes the door for other apps, and if what I’ve read is true, Garmin is [...]
