This is an early review of Ant Raid for the iPhone, it#8217;s released on the 26th January. Originally an iPad-only game, Ant Raid has now been shrunk down to fit on the iPhone by developers Prank Entertainment.  At its heart, Ant Raid is a tower defense game, but with real-time strategy overtones; however the attention to pa href=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kh5D4rJXawJtxeENeOIFBL2tkCM/0/da”img src=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kh5D4rJXawJtxeENeOIFBL2tkCM/0/di” border=”0″ ismap=”true”/img/abr/ a href=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kh5D4rJXawJtxeENeOIFBL2tkCM/1/da”img src=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kh5D4rJXawJtxeENeOIFBL2tkCM/1/di” border=”0″ ismap=”true”/img/a/pdiv class=”feedflare” a href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/iphone-freak?a=emf3pf_vYTA:NYrd3kI0xFc:yIl2AUoC8zA”img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/iphone-freak?d=yIl2AUoC8zA” border=”0″/img/a /divimg src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/iphone-freak/~4/emf3pf_vYTA” height=”1″ width=”1″/

iPhone App Review – Ant Raid

Nissan of all companies has rolled out a new case for the iPhone called the Nissan Scratch Shield . Any scratches to the case will be self-healed thanks to a special gel-like finish. The new Renew SleepClock for the iPhone will be coming this March for $199. The clock has sensors for monitoring user breathing and movement to log your sleep cycle. The Navy is thinking about using iOS devices to allow control of its drone RoboCopters. Having flown toy helicopters that use iOS devices fro control, I hope the Navy has better apps.

The launch of the iPhone 4S in China was a big deal and drew huge crowds to get the new smartphone. The Apple Store in Sanlitun decided the crowd was too large and opted to not open due to fear of customers and employees being hurt. That led to some in the crowd “abusing” store workers. After the Chinese launch issues that went on at the iPhone 4S launch with eggs thrown and violence one analyst said the violence was in part Apples fault . Canalys’ Nicole Peng said that Chinese fans don’t want to have to wait for new gadgets. NASA has launched a cool new app for the iPhone. The app is called Mars Images and shares photos from the Opportunity rover as soon as NASA gets them.

If you are a fan of Star Wars or Lipton Brisk tea, a new app is out for iOS that you might want to check out. Lipton and Star Wars are teaming to advertise the coming Phantom menace flick in 3D. To celebrate the tie up the app is called Brisksaber and it is available right now for download. The app has Darth Maul speaking, which is odd considering he rarely speak in the original. He hops around talking and playing with his lightsaber until he drinks a tea and gets happy. Apparently, Yoda and some other Jedi are in the ads too. I’m not sure what to think of the 3D treatment on the films. I wasn’t a huge fan of the new films to start with. Obviously, any fan will have to see the 3D flicks if for no other reason than to be able to complain about how bad they suck. [youtube LwabxgoSGZY] [ via SlashGear]

Weird Brisksaber app is sort of cool

We have all seen Apple approve some very strange apps, then turn around, and remove them from the app store citing violations of one form or another. Things like that shake the baby app for instance. Apple has a history of not allowing unofficial arcade game emulators on the App Store. One such unofficial emulator is on the App Store right now. It is called iMAME and it has a virtual arcade cabinet with controls surrounding the game on your screen. We suspect the app might not stay on the App Store very long. The app has games called Circus, Side Track, and Hard Hat by default. The thing that is likely to get the app pulled is that you can add your own ROMs, thus allowing you to toss other games on and those games could be Atari classics for instance. Grab the app while you can if you are a fan. The app is compatible with the iCade as well. [ via SlashGear]

The ESRB ratings on video games for consoles and PCs all use letters to warn when a game might not be appropriate for kids. Apple and Google will not use the new mobile Application Rating system apparently essentially making it dead before it launches. I would assume that Apple and Android will have their own ratings system. Apple already puts apps into categories and if the app is too mature in theme, it simply won’t allow the app on the site. In other news, the sales ban that Apple has had on Samsung tablets in Australia has come to an end. The sales injunction in Australia has been overthrown in appeal. The court went so far to call the original sales ban “clearly wrong.” I wonder if Samsung will sue Apple for lost sales at this point.

The Siri assistant app on the iPhone 4S is one thing that many people on Android are jealous of. A new app has launched for the Android platform called Cluzee that promises to be much like Siri. Sales of the iPhone have tripled in the UK for October. The big growth is thought to be thanks to pent up demand for the device. RIM has launched an app for the iOS devices out there. The app offers remote configuration, locking, and secure wiping and connectivity management.

Sources close to the development of future versions of Mac OS X are offering details on new features for the future. The source claims that Macs will get a version of iMessage allowing the computers to message iPhones and more. There are new ads ready to start circulating for the iPhone 4S touting specific features. The first of the ads will highlight iCloud and the camera of the new iPhone. The iPhone 4S has been having battery issues that make the battery not last too long. The issue has been reported to be an issue with Time Zone switching.

Has there been a genre, film, cartoon or story that hasn#8217;t been given its own pinball machine?  From the classic Addams Family machine to ones based on poker, if it could be hidden under glass and a ball rolled around, then it became a pinball machine.  Virtual pinball on the iPhone and iPad is a pa href=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/RrF6qKTG5nIFY2EcOYLwi3FnpNE/0/da”img src=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/RrF6qKTG5nIFY2EcOYLwi3FnpNE/0/di” border=”0″ ismap=”true”/img/abr/ a href=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/RrF6qKTG5nIFY2EcOYLwi3FnpNE/1/da”img src=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/RrF6qKTG5nIFY2EcOYLwi3FnpNE/1/di” border=”0″ ismap=”true”/img/a/pdiv class=”feedflare” a href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/iphone-freak?a=3VQRdJn-WFc:IQo8dUwC7jY:yIl2AUoC8zA”img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/iphone-freak?d=yIl2AUoC8zA” border=”0″/img/a /divimg src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/iphone-freak/~4/3VQRdJn-WFc” height=”1″ width=”1″/
