SquareBusta for iPhoneAfter 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!

Ice Cream Weather for iPhoneWeather condition affects our daily life, so weather apps are kinda essential. As we all have one or two weather apps on our smartphones, and not all of them are good enough, so basically we’re still looking for a really nice weather app to help us making our daily plans properly. So if you love cute cheeky apps, the Ice Cream Weather is worth a look.

 

Score one for the very cheeky app ideas.

 

Ice Cream Weather reports the temperature in your area (US-only — which sucks,since the app is also available in Canada) and displays a handy “melt meter” to indicate how quickly ice cream will melt, given the local temperature. You can customize the main screen to also display a scoop of ice cream, a cone, and your choice of toppings. If you start to crave the real thing (and not the ultra cheesy on-screen cone), you can then call up an ice-cream centric map of your area to find your local dairy bar.

 

Is this app really perfect, or so much more functional than others? Likely not. We’ve seen quite some weather apps more functional than this one actually. However, the idea and execution did, at least, bring a smile to my face, which is a lot more than I can say for most free novelty apps like this.

 

Overall, this is a nice app that tells the weather, and has some really interesting sweet functions, but still far from perfect. If you appreciate cheeky app interface this is really a nice weather app you’ll love. What you’ll love more is that this one is available for free.

BugMe for iPhoneOne reason why cell phones are so popular today is that it really integrated lots of  functions, which means cellphones are really really convenient to our daily life. Communication is one thing and other sweet little but useful functions like alarms makes another. Well, as smartphones getting smarter and smarter today, there’re more and more interesting useful feature on a cellphone, however there’s still some simple functions we need, and today we’re going to talk about alarms, a little thing we use almost everyday.

 

So as busy as we are becoming nowadays, we always need a little remind for doing things on schedule, and a little alarm clock used to do good for the job, but eventually we need more, so alarm apps on cellphone gradually becomes a good choice. Here’s a great one for you: BugMe! Lite for iPhone: three alarms, no down payment!

 

I’m going to tell you how to get an ad-supported, sometimes-watermarked, three-alarm version of BugMe! absolutely FREE. Just visit the iTunes Store, search for BugMe! Lite, and download away.

 

Granted, it’s just the App Store version of a demo and I was being a tad dramatic, but, truth be told, I never really did need more than three alarms — even in the full version of the app. So if you just want to have a taste of this wonderful app, this may be a good chance!

 

It’s totally free now, and three alarms are usually enough to us, and you can buy the full version anyway after having a taste of the free one, so you really don’t want to miss this!

Well, it’s jusr they still haven’t said when.

 

Fella, we’ve got this huge iPhone OS 4 update coming this summer, how about then? Well, we don’t know, but at least there’s hope… :)

Nokia 3711Cellphones today are quite versatile and as a result of that they’re quite expensive too. For someone who doesn’t required much from a phone but still not satisfied with a basic phone, then this Nokia 3711 might be nice. As for the price, it’s quite reasonable, and for T-Mobile subscribers, it’s free! Yes, we’ll see what we can get for free from T-Mobile.

 

T-Mobile subscribers looking for a free flip phone should check out the Nokia 3711—even though it doesn’t look like much. Underneath its drab surface are some pretty powerful features, including a proper mobile Web browser, 3G data speeds, and decent music and video playback. Nokia made a few poor design decisions with the hardware, but even so, it’s worth a look.

 

The Nokia 3711 measures 3.5 by 1.8 by 0.6 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.3 ounces. The hard, rubbery finish features a textured wave pattern. I wasn’t thrilled with the look, but still looks clean. At least the material makes the phone comfortable to hold and resistant to light scratches. Build quality was also questionable, which is unusual for Nokia; the shortcut keys above the numeric keypad were uneven on my test handset, and the plastic frame around the keys felt excessively cheap.

 

The 2.2-inch QVGA (240-by-320-pixel) looked reasonably sharp and bright. Dialing numbers was super-easy thanks to the large, raised keys. The Nokia 3711 is a quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and dual-band UMTS (1700/2100 MHz) device. It supports 3G data speeds, which makes it the first free phone I’ve seen on T-Mobile to do so. Voice calls sounded clear and warm overall. The Nokia 3711 doesn’t get very loud in the earpiece, but it was fine in quieter environments. Reception was average, calls sounded fine through an Aliph Jawbone Icon ($99.00) Bluetooth headset, and the phone’s voice dialing doesn’t require training. The mono speaker on the back was too quiet. Battery life was average at 7 hours and 3 minutes of talk time in EDGE mode.

 

Nokia’s Symbian Series 40 OS was responsive and easy to navigate in testing. The main menu employs a carousel on the home page for T-Mobile myFaves contacts, and another carousel one level down for basic media, messaging, and other functions. One of the 3711’s signature features is Maps, which can pinpoint your current location using the phone’s GPS radio, and then search for nearby points of interest (presuming you sign up for the data plan).  TeleNav GPS Navigation was also on board for voice-enabled, turn-by-turn directions at $9.99 per month. This isn’t really a messaging phone thanks to the numeric keypad. But there were plenty of e-mail and IM options available for all major Web services, even MySpace IM.

 

The 2-megapixel camera lacks auto-focus or a flash. Test photos leaned toward red in the color spectrum, with overly warm tones indoor and out. The phone dealt surprisingly well with light sources and poorly lit interior rooms, though motion blur ruined a few shots thanks to the slow shutter. Don’t bother recording videos; the 176-by-144-pixel, 15-frame-per-second results were too small and pixelated.

 

Overall, the Nokia 3711 shows how much you can get for “free” nowadays. And the phone is admittedly not very good, but then again, still worth a look! And I actually quite like the look, it’s simple and professional. Take this to consideration: it’s ‘free’ after all! So I’m now really wondering: would you like to have this ‘free’ phone?

Classics for iPhoneI know Kindle does its job quite greatly, and I know reading on Kindle is much better than on a phone, but I just don’t want to carry all these devices with me, it’s kind of boring and sometimes just too heavy or just not enough room! So here I am, introducing you the one one eBook reader that is good enough to put the real books down! Well, maybe not absolutely down, I had to admit that I do enjoy reading real books much more, it’s just not very convenient!

 

Classics is not new, and though it’s good.It looks great, feels great and retains as much authenticity of the books as possible on a small screen. The page turn animation even supported by a sound effect. You can almost smell the old paper, admittedly, the paper-like display is something I enjoyed a lot. I read The New York Times on the small screen for the last few weeks instead of a laptop and I must say it is convenient. I do not miss a larger screen and it doesn’t put a strain on my eyes or brain.

 

And here’s the thing: This week, Apple introduced a service called iBooks for the iPad. The interface looks very, very similar to Classics’, which is odd, since Classics has been out for months. Credit where credit’s due, I say! The Classics guys have reduced the app’s price to $0 for the time being, to make it abundantly clear who came first, and to make their plight known, or something. So, enjoy! At least try, it won’t let you down!
