Skyfire 3.0

Today Skyfire, maker of the award-winning mobile browser, has announced the release of Skyfire 3.0 for iPhone– its highly anticipated next-generation browser with Facebook Connect integration. This newest version delivers to iPhone users the same highly-acclaimed social media features currently available on Skyfire for the Android platform.

The world’s smartest mobile browser is now also its most social; Skyfire 3.0 for iPhone integrates Facebook’s social graph and “Like Button” into every webpage. With a single click, users can check their Facebook Page, “Like” or share any Internet content, see content recommended by their friends, and view rich multimedia and links posted by friends.

New Features in Skyfire 3.0 for iPhone include:

  • More Video – Enhanced capability to give you more video designed for Adobe Flash Player from more sites. Flash videos will be optimized for your device and network, giving you smooth video playback, and (for users on capped or tiered data plans) saving you bandwidth and money.
  • Popular Content – Our favorite new feature; instantly see what content on any given site is most popular with your friends and within the Facebook community. Recommendations from friends are prioritized and show up at the top of the list.
  • Fireplace™ Feed Reader – A simple but addictive tool that provides a filtered list of your Facebook feed that includes links to web pages, images, and videos posted by your Facebook friends. A great place to start for browsing.
  • Facebook Portal Integration – With a single touch you have access to your Facebook feed, profile and fast-growing location service Places. No need to switch between apps.
  • Facebook Like Button – Skyfire 3.0 puts the Facebook Like Button on every page of the Internet. No scrolling around searching for the button on the page, simply click on the SkyBar™ Like Button to easily “like” or “unlike” the page you are viewing.
  • Skyfire OneTouch Search™ – Enter a single search term and choose between Google, Video (from VideoSurf), or Wikipedia with a single touch without the need to navigate to separate sites

VLC app removed from Apple's App Store

| January 8, 2011 16:47 UTC | 1 comment | source

VLC Media Player iPhone

Apple has decided to remove the VLC app from the App Store. This happened due to the licensing incompatibility between the GNU General Public License and Apple’s AppStore. Rémi Denis-Courmont, a VLC developer, had the following to say:

At last, Apple has removed VLC media player from its application store. Thus the incompatibility between the GNU General Public License and the AppStore terms of use is resolved – the hard way. This end should not have come to a surprise to anyone, given the precedents.

Infinity Blade Receives Its First Big Update

| December 21, 2010 23:12 UTC | 0 comments | source

Infinity Blade was released last week with a massive force to the market. It immediately broke the record of the fastest selling mobile game. Today, it already received its first official update. The update is called Contect Pack #1 by its developers, and it will bring the following changes:

  • Five new swords, five new shields, one new set of armour, and five new helmets. There’s even a santa-themed ‘Holiday Helm’.
  • The maximum character level has been raised to 45 (from 40)
  • A new enemy is now part of the game. The ‘Marrow Fiend’ is big and bad, and devours its victims, removing their bones for blade and shield material. Nice.
  • In-app purchasing. You can now buy extra gold from within the app. If you need to load up with new weaponry and armor, and you’re not afraid to open your own wallet… now you can buy your way to success. Sort of.
  • New audio option lets you listen to your own music within the game.

Apple's Christmas iTunes Promotion 12 Days of Christmas Now Live

| December 13, 2010 21:58 UTC | 0 comments | source

12daysofchristmasApple’s annual Christmas promotion is now open for registrations. Between December 26th and January 6th, Apple will give out one free item a day from one of their stores (iTunes, App Store). This could be a free game, app, music, movies, TV episodes or books. Last year there was some pretty cool stuff, and I don’t think that they will give out total crap this year either.

The promotion is currently at least available in the UK, but last year it worked in most parts of Europe. Head over to http://www.itunes12daysofchristmas.co.uk/ and enter your e-mail address to be informed when the first app is available.
