Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk

Has anyone run across an app that adds a little vibration feedback to the buttons/icons? My wife has this feature on her Vu phone. It's quite nice. Kinda similar to the Wii when you scroll over items.

I think the way the apps can't run in the background means it would have to be Apple to add this kind of feature. Sadly.

Seconded. I thought I got a bargain when it dropped to $1.99 a couple weeks ago.

Bought my first RPG the other day, Arvale for $2.99. Really enjoying it, but almost done. Anyone recommend another? The Quest and Dungeon & Hero get high marks, but neither has a free "lite" version.

So far, I've refused to pay for a game without trying a demo first.

I picked up 7 Cities for 99 cents and have been enjoying it. i hate the tower spots that are right under the "menu" button. its annoying to have to zoom in and scroll around to get at them

You can actually remove the menu buttons by tapping your home city, which means you can easily access all the tower positions. When you want to access the menu then tap your home city again. I had the same problem as you until I worked this out .

I have to admit I am addicted to scrabble and can't really pinpoint why.

Metal Gear Solid Touch is out early!!! I can't wait to download it, the theme blaring in the background sold it for me.

[App Store Link, $7.99]

"A scary thought may be that the algorithm being generated by the Chinese could be on an actual $200.00 card on store shelves right now, potentially leaving a legitimate consumer out of luck. If that would happen the consumer may face little chance of ever recovering their money. If this turns into a widespread problem it could spell disaster for iTunes reputation."

^ i clicked on the $10 link (from the above article). It took you to the Chinese auction page, which has the iTune GC picture and it was selling for 40 Chinese Yuan ($5.8 USD), but it was sold...

And yes, definitely a disaster for iTunes reputation. Man, just image the mess... There's no way people gonna turn away from a "legit" $200 iTunes GC for $5-$10.

Actually, the cheap iTune GCs listings are taken down or limited, because when i click on "see similar" items, there aren't any... Also searching iTune on taobao.com doesn't show them either. It could be a fluke... you know, you got lucky guessing the code.

I wasn't suggesting you buy one. Someone posted about it on this thread a long time ago and didn't know what the catch was. That was how they are able to sell $200 cards for $2 or $40 (their price then).

I just realized I had 81 posts in this thread That means more than 1 in 3 posts is mine

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk

second the recommendation for let's golf. i like the "advance" (finger swipe) controls more than the traditional ones. it reminds me of hot shot golf for the nintendo ds.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk

Has anyone else picked up Watchmen: Justice Is Coming? It's an online only multiplayer roleplaying game. I think it's still in beta so it's only 99 cents. I hope it's still in beta as the damn thing crashes on me every time I open it up.

My local paper has posted this article about the iPhone/iPod Touch becoming a major force in gaming.
