App Store Review - Fieldrunners

Fieldrunners was just put up for download on the Apple App Store, and it has quickly become one of the highest rated games available for the iPhone. An ingenuously well designed “tower defense” game in which you must carefully and strategically choose from a series of four weapons to stop a group of invaders from attacking your tower. Don’t overspend on the more expensive hardw…

App Store Review - Flick Bowling

There are a few decent bowling games available for your iPhone at the App Store, but the best one by far is Flick Bowling. With fun and easy touch screen gameplay, great 3D graphics, and six characters to choose from, Flick Bowling is a strike right down the middle. The update to version 1.2, free to players who have already downloaded the game, features more realistic physics for the bowling pin…

App Store Review - Harmonica App

There are already a bunch of popular apps available like Pocket Guitar and Pocket Piano that turn your iPhone into a musical instrument, and now you can add harmonica to that list. Harmonica lets you play your iPhone exactly like a real harmonica, using a “genuinely sampled 10 hole diatonic harmonica” that lets you play both notes and chords.

Mobispine intends to deliver MMS to iPhone users

With the new iPhone firmware 2.2 release we expect a lot of changes to be made, one thing Apple will not be giving us is the ability to send MMS. Mobispine has set out to give the iPhone the “world’s first true Multimedia Messaging for iPhone.”

We already know there are third party “hacks” out there like Swirly MMS that kind of provide a fix for some. All of these methods require the users to jailbreak their handset in order for it to even work. Mobispine believes that the ability to send and receive MMS from any iPhone will give mobile operators the ability to drive sales and improve subscriber retention.

“Mobispine continues its strong track record of innovation and is proud to unveil the first true MMS service for iPhones. We are confident that global operators will find Mobispine’s MMS service for iPhone easy-to-use and profitable,” said Dusyant Patel, CEO, Mobispine. “This new offering will help operators generate revenue and differentiate their offerings in a highly competitive market.”

The big hang-up that Mobispine faces is the need to brand the application to fit each carrier and then convince Apple to allow it in the App Store. There have been plenty of MMS applications that have been turned away in the past. Only time will tell if Mobispine will succeed in bringing much needed MMS to iPhone.
