Karaoke is like the one thing we do every time we hold a party with a bunch of friends. I guess that’s because everyone loves singing, but that doesn’t mean everyone knows how to sing well, and that’s where the problems comes. Every time in Karaoke with your friends you might feel a little frustrated for you cannot sing as well as others. So how about to get the score back with the Lyric Lend app for iPhone?

For those of you less musically gifted than your peers, this iPhone app might let you unleash your talents in a karaoke-style game you could actually win.

To do well in the game, all you need to do is learn the lyrics. Called Lyric Legend it’s all about getting the words right and the tune can go to hell. It works like Guitar Hero in that you have to say the right word at the right time to register a hit and ‘burst’ the bubbles. You don’t even need to sing in front of your friends to compete against them, you can do it with just you and your iPhone then rack up the scores afterwards.

Given the vagaries of voice recognition technology (you know.. the sort of thing where your voicemail saying you’re locked out of the office gets transcribed as “I’m in South Africa”) – it actually sort of works.

The app is free but the catch is that you have to pay for songs – three come free with the app but if you want your favourite you have to buy it, there’s only a choice of 60 too.

Sometimes I find these pay-extra-to-buy-songs apps a bit annoying because if you’ve already spend 79p downloading the song onto your iPod, it seems downright wrong to pay for it again. Though the prices a bit more reasonable here: you can get a two pack of songs by a particular artist for a 59p – available for Rihanna and Robbie Williams for example.

This is fun, well maybe not as fun as singing itself, but you have a chance to win this time! The Lyric Legend App really turns your iPhone into a Karaoke device. You should really try it out. Just not in the office

The biggest of advantage of today’s smartphones is the massive app support, and that’s what we enjoy. Then why we are tightwads over apps? The only reason I can think of is that because it comes from the Internet, and things should be always free from the Internet!

Usually if I thought something would set me back 59p, I wouldn’t blink an eyelid. Hell I pay easily triple that for a coffee and that’s just coloured water in a cup.

But we still have a slight reluctance to splurge on apps. Even as a dedicated iPhone user I still hesitate over any app that costs over £1. That is exactly the mental contradiction that the Oatmeal, that chronicler of geek dilemmas, picks up on in his cartoon recently “This is how I feel about buying apps”.

I do sort of know why of course: that’s because at heart I still think stuff on the internet is free, so I don’t compare apps with coffee, I compare them with FREE STUFF ON THE INTERNET. Compared to nothing, 59p is expensive. Still, I’ve got 90 odd so it’s not exactly prohibitive.

The Android store is known for having the most free apps, then Apple’s store is probably next with Blackberry and Window’s mobile apps being pretty pricey – in general. Nokia’s Ovi store prices are moderate but they don’t have many quality free apps.

The Internet has been well developed for the recent decade, and it becomes a most important part of our life. But things become ugly when it comes to shopping for internet resources, we are way more generous when buying real things that we can touch and feel. It’s just we don’t get it that the Internet is real, and so are the apps! We could really become a tightwad when it comes to the Internet, and the Oatmeal comic well explained this, you can check out the full cartoon at their official site.

Well, how do you feel about apps?

Many lazy afternoons lately, so how about playing a little game on your iPhone? My answer’s fine, so I looked around and did a little search work then I found this interesting game – the Knight Defense, it is actually a Tower Defense game with a Twist, and it’s more interesting!

Knight Defense combines action and strategy in a dynamic re-imagining of the tower defense genre. It’s bold, intelligent, challenging & fun. If you have a shiny new iPhone 4, the game takes full advantage of the HD Retina Display.

Well as a game we should first check out the gameplay, right? In this case, the gameplay’s a little complicated but not too quirky, it’s actually great gameplay that you’ll love:

 
- Defeat all waves of enemies without losing your King.
- Your pieces fire at enemies in distinct patterns reminiscent of chess pieces. Each time a piece fires in a particular direction there is a short delay before it can fire again in that direction.
- If an enemy hits one of your pieces it explodes and damages that piece (and sometimes the pieces around it).
- Combos: destroy multiple enemies at once to greatly increase your score.
- Each of your pieces can be upgraded 7 times, increasing health and attack, as well as healing the piece back to full health and allowing it to fire immediately in all available directions.
- Each piece has a unique special ability with a cooldown before it can be used again. Eg. making nearby pieces fire twice as fast or healing nearby pieces.
- Enemies vary in health, speed and attack power.
- Enemies home towards your King, so where you position him determines their movement.
- Pieces can protect each other, reducing the damage they take.
- Tap the skip button make the next wave arrive immediately.

And here’re some special features about this interesting new game:

 
- Move and upgrade your forces in real-time to defeat the waves of enemies determined to destroy your king.
- Each level is a hand-crafted scenario with many different ways to win.
- The levels are divided into easy, medium and hard difficulties. Can you beat the hard levels?
- Unlock achievements and rocket to the top of the global leader boards with OpenFeint!
- Free updates to come – more levels and achievements.
- Resume exactly where you left off when you restart the app.

So generally speaking, the Knight Defense game for the iPhone and iPod Touch is just one of the thousands of Tower Defense games, but what makes it different is that it has a really great twist! Try it, you’ll find yourself love it!

After so many years we still love the Tetris game, it is indeed a very simple game even a kid can understand the gameplay, but it is exactly the simple but genius gameplay made the game so classic and so popular with kids and adults alike. Play games on your iPhone isn’t anything new, and play Tetris on your iPhone still can’t be so called news, but this iPhone game called SquareBusta is something different.

SquareBusta is a fun and addictive game where you must use the pieces that start appearing in piece pile, and build squares and rectangles with them before the piece pile fills up. Beware that it starts slow but, it will speed up, and before you know it you don’t know what to do with all those pieces.

Made a little change, but the core idea is the same, so we can call the SquareBusta a mutated Tetris. Just like the origin one, the game is enjoyable and quite addictive, just with a little more fun. And it is free for the iPhone, so enjoy!

Multiuse is quite an adorable thing in modern life. In order to save some space and to make our desk look cleaner, compact design is a trend in household appliance design today. Therefore I guess iPhone docks are now suppose to have some more functions too, and so here comes the  POD Lamp which brings light to your desk, and also keeps your cords tidy.

The concept of an iPod desk lamp is nothing new. However OttLite’s POD Lamp is even better than the other iPod Lamps out there.

Why is that you ask? Because it can accommodate a cell phone and other Mp3 players besides the iPod and iPhone. The lamp also features wire management, so that you can thread your cords through the bottom of the lamp and charge your phone or MP3 player while it’s docked in the lamp. The lamp is also able to adjust to divergent heights and angles, and includes a 13 Watt OttLite HD bulb which can last up to 10,000 hours.

The round shape looks cute, and the polished color is very clean and shinning, like it! And it is really versatile indeed, it can hold your device, light your desk, and also put away your messing cords! How wonderful! Now available in glossy dark, or glossy white, the POD Lamp retails for $111.98.

Saving the earth is a big and quite urgent subject nowadays; and because almost everyone today has a cellphone, so making more eco-friendly cellphones is a really meaningful effort. Although these electronic things can’t be totally eco-friendly, at least for now, but there’s something we can do to reduce the harm to nature. And this is why I’m here today introducing the Sony Ericsson’s new greenheart phone – the Aspen, an eco-Blackberry.

Sony Ericsson have added a business phone to their line up of eco-friendly handsets. The multi-tasking Windows Aspen joins the Elm and the Hazel in the Sony Ericsson Greenheart range.

The phone’s general features reflect the business niche that Sony Ericsson are gearing their Aspen handset towards: the key point being the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system, the latest version of the Windows phone set up that allows users to co-ordinate their phone with their PCs. And a Blackberry-ish shape with both a touchscreen and a full QWERTY keyboard makes easy typing a priority.

On the entertainment side, there’s also a media player and a 3.2 megapixel camera. The phone has built in Facebook and Windows messenger apps and the “Human Curvature” design lets it fit in the palm of your hand more easily.

It’s not just calling the phones after trees that make these phones eco-friendly. Their green credentials come from the manufacture, the packaging and factors like power-consumption. Green features on the previous Greenheart phones that we hope to see on this one come in three categories.

1. Less energy and raw materials are used in their manufacture and packing:
- Made out of recycled plastics
- Free from hazardous chemicals
- The instructions booklet is not printed on paper but is an e-manual in phone
- Packaging has been minimised

2. The Greenheart phones are designed to be more energy-efficient
- Low power consumption charger (EP300 GreenHeart(TM))
- Clearer voice technology should mean lower volume is required
- A Widget Manager application, which allows users access to their social networking page via the stand-by screen and quickly switch between different social networks, reduces the battery-wasting waiting time.

3. They come with apps for helping you cut down on CO2 and energy use in other areas of your life..
- Walk Mate eco application
- Green calculator

You can also use a special power-saving charger which minimises the power wasted when charging the phone.

The Sony Ericsson Aspen looks beautiful, and it is a tough phone with amazing functions, and it’s quite eco-friendly. So how do you like this Sony Ericsson green heart new phone? The phone’s available in Iconic Black or Silver White.

One great feature about smartphones nowadays is that they can play as a mp3 player too, some even can work as a video player. So to someone smartphones are not just smartphones, they’re also used as multimedia players. Because of that, a portable speaker will be very necessary. For those who have a young heart and love geeky stuff, here’re some cute headphonies to inject some animation into your audio.

Is it just me, or do the Headphonies sound like they should have their own kiddy TV show on Saturday mornings? No, just me then? OK. Well, they’re not a set of crazy looking critters designed to bring joy to littler kids while their parents cash in their lie-ins, they’re actually some kind of moshi monster/mimbot mashup with portable audio playing capabilities. Because the release of portable speakers are so frequent, the creator’s of these cartoon-esque speakers thought they’d bring something different to the table. So if you like to step out the boring and ordinary box, you may want to step into a world where toys and portable speakers collide.

The range consists of five figures, all created by several artists (that I won’t mention as you probably won’t have heard of them) as well as two blank canvas models that you can adorn yourself. You will then be free to plug your little friend into you MP3 player, iPod, phone or CD player and your smartphones too, for around four hours of playback on a full charge.

They’re cute and useful, I would love to have these cute little speakers  accompany anywhere.

Phone bills today is quite a large deal in our daily life now, so choosing the right mobile phone contract is indeed quite important. If we choose right, we will be able to save some money and to make the most of our phone bills. Today, for those who love to text and have not too much calls, here’s the UK’s cheapest mobile phone contract – Tesco’s £6 a month deal.

At a tiny £6 a month Tesco’s claim to have released the nation’s cheapest phone deal. The Sim-only contract gets you unlimited texts and 100 free minutes a month.

Aimed squarely at cash-strapped tweens, teens and students who don’t use calls very much, this is a pretty good deal. It’s a one month SIM only contract so you can cancel anytime after the first month.

Of course, it’s not going to work with your new iPhone or indeed any other smartphones, because it doesn’t offer any internet access but hey if you like to text, this is great.

It is totally great for you if you love texts, other bottom end contract deals cost £10 minimum. It is really cheap, and sounds like the prefect contract for you. But as it doesn’t work for any smartphone, I guess many of you can’t stand it, so this might be only good for the kids, the elders, or work as a second mobile for you. To get it, you can buy the SIM card on the Tesco Website.

We always love Dell for its affordable PCs, and now it has stretched its long hands into the tablet and smartphone markets. Giving consideration to the Dell’s current performance in this new market, the dell new product line has been quite good and quite affordable (like Dell always have), but honestly not strikingly great. However it seems like Dell intends to change this situation with its new smartphone – the Dell Thunder, it is real, and it looks like a rock.

The Thunder, a hard-cornered new Android smartphone from Dell has just emerged from the rumour cloud and proved that it is a real phone in a video preview on Engadget.

Dell is best known for its affordable PCs, but it is flexing its muscles in the tablet and smartphone markets. The Dell Streak, a tablet computer powered by Android went on sale in the States earlier, the Dell Lightening will be a Windows 7 phone, and the Dell Thunder mooted for Quarter 4 will be a top-specced Android smartphone.

Dell has already promised us the Aero, a mid-range Android phone out in the States shortly. With a 2 megapixel camera and only a 624 MHz processor it’s not a game-changer.

The Thunder promises to be a stronger contender in the top end of the market: with a 4.1-inch OLED display, an 8-megapixel camera and 720p video capture, all built over Android.

From the video the Thunder has hard horizontal lines, sharp corners and the screen looks huge. With the dell logo on the back it does feel more like a mini computer than your average handset. It may not be the sexiest one out there, but design-wise it cements the Android preference for macho, hard shapes.

Well let’s just wait to see more details on this new Dell Thunder, hopefully it’ll be really fun.

The iPhone is really quite awesome, and with all these amazing apps out there for it, it is even more attractive. So today we’re going to introduce you a very interesting game – the iHurt! The Loony Tunes smack’em up game for iPhone is really quite exciting, you should try it!

If you’re into goofy action cartoons and watching animated characters getting bashed up, this is the iPhone game for you.

iHurt takes inspiration from Loony Tunes and cartoon violence to create a game where the more you hurt yourself, the more you win. The gameplay? “Steer your character down Mt. Spinebreaker while hitting as many objects as possible in your quest to rack up the largest hospital bill in the history of the iHurt Championships!”

The main idea of this little game is: You’re falling down a hill, the idea is to bash your character into as many trees, rocks and mulitpliers as possible to maximise the hospital bill at the bottom of the hill.

Here’re some great features about this game:
1. The visuals are great, it’s genuinely quite exciting for an iPhone game with the ground rushing below your feet and trees flying past to either side
2. Accelerometer control by tilt is intuitive and easy to do
3. Integration with top scorers from twitter/facebook is a nice

And here’re some weaknesses:
1. Screen reaction is a bit slow to taps
2. Limited choice of character and scene
3. You look like a bit of a twat moving your iPhone around like it’s a steering wheel.

And it’s also important to note that iHurt is only a virtual simulation, a game, and should not be recreated at home in any way. The actions in the game are just what cartoon characters do for a living, they fall down and go boom. They are professionals in the world of slapstick, and also you wouldn’t like the hospital anyway.

It’s not at the level of top games like PocketGod – where the endless variation makes the play really addictive. But this is well visualised and the gameplay flows smoothly. Cartoon link-ins are fun.

All in all, this is a really nice game to kill time with, but you should always bare in mind that it is MERELY a game!
