Weird Brisksaber app is sort of cool

app, game, news, star wars January 9th, 2012

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]

Apple introduced the Smart Cover with the iPad 2 last year, saying that rather than let owners cover their beautiful tablets in unattractive cases to protect the screen, they’d made a good-looking, Apple certified one themselves.  It’s clever too, as it not only attaches to the iPad 2 using magnets, but uses one to activate
