Interview With Epic Games

Uncategorized, , , , , ,



Guys I recently emailed the developers of the demo app Epic Citadel that is currently in the iPhone and iPad App Store that demos Epic Games Unreal Engine on the iPhone or iPad. This is the app was also demoed on the September 1st Keynote at Apple HQ.

But anyways I emailed them to ask them when they think when the app would go live in the App Store.

Here is the entire conversation:

Hey guys! This is the Senior Editor for TechGeec.com Conner and I just had a quick question for you. Can you give us any date to when “Project Sword” will be submitted to the App Store?

Thank you,

Well there you have it! I assume this means that it is still in early development and it wont be released until at least mid 2011.

Review: Inspire Pro

Uncategorized, , ,

Inspire Pro (iPad Version) is very well designed and well thought out. You may have also seen it on the top app charts on Apple’s iOS App Store.

Like I said this app is very well designed and well thought out. This app let’s even the worst drawers (like me!) make master pieces.

It gives you various options to chose your brush size, effects, colors, ect. There is a very wide range of all of those making even the most picky drawer be happy.

I know Apple doesn’t allow it but it actually seems like the harder you push your finger on the screen the darker then paint is and vise versa.

Let me know what you think about this app. What you like and what you don’t like.

This app is currently available in the AppStore for $0.99 but the price is just an introductory price and will normally be $7.99 I believe. So get it A.S.A.P.

Pluse Reader Review

Uncategorized, , , , ,

I’m going to flat out say it…I Love…David!!! (Just kidding David is our system admin) but really I..Love…Pulse!! It is all around wonderful and amazing. Most people (and myself thought of Pulse as just another rss reader but it’s not) Pulse lets you add websites so there articles are right at your finger tips. It’s easier than rss readers because you don’t have to go searching for the websites individual rss link. I tried to count, I think you can have three pages of websites with 12 websites on each page. It app is very visual as well, each website has its own section and the stories are displayed under each section and you can do you normal iOS moments to scroll let and right through the articles from each website.

All in all this app is very visual and well designed.

There are no other apps that come close to Pulse, it is wonderful!

If you want a copy for your self we are giving away two iPad codes for this app and three iPhone codes for this app as well. See TechGeec.com for more info and how to enter.

Emerald Observatory Giveaway and Review

Uncategorized, ,

Giveaway:

The great people at Emerald Sequoia were nice enough to send over three promo codes to giveaway their App Emerald Observatory for you guys. To enter it is just like most of my giveaways, just follow me on Twitter @connerowen or Twitter.com/connerowen and you are automatically entered. At any time I will decide to end the giveaway and go to random.org and put all of my followers in the engine and the top three people will get the codes. It’s that easy!

Review:

This app is all out stunning.

When you first launch it you get your local time in the middle, Then off to the left you have the current position of the moon, the suns altitude, and the suns azimuth clock as well. Then off to the right you have a darkness map, the equation of time clock, and a year clock. In the middle you have UTC time, solar time, and solar time as well. You also have a horoscope part (which I don’t know how to use) (according to them in an email I got recently after the post was up: the horoscopes have nothing to do with astrology; those are just pretty markers for the hours; they’re only very approximately related to the relative positions of the Earth and Sun.  You can also go back into the past by entering Set mode and tapping the units on the left.  The other inner sundial shows sidereal time, which is useful to astronomers (and entirely different from solar time) and clock that tells you how the planets are positioned. There is also a built in alarm clock and you are also able to go into the future to see everything I told you about but further in time.

This app is available in iTunes for $0.99

Pulse for iPad Giveaway!

Uncategorized, ,



If you’ve been following the site since I’ve came aboard my main job was to be in charge of app giveaways (that is not all my job consists of but that is what I love the most :) ) So if you have been following the site, the giveaways that we have are normally not that well know or popular because our website isn’t all well known. But the other day I was looking at pulse because I wanted to buy it (let me give you a quick tip, the apps I want but I don’t want to buy, those are the developers I email first! :) ) and I thought what the (excuse me) he** I’ll email them and see if I will get a response, and to my surprise within an hour I did! Thanks to Cristina Cordova – VP of Business Development at Pulse gave me three codes (one for me to review for the site) and two for you guys! The codes are for iPad only. Once they get more codes for the iPhone version they will email me and I will give those away as well.

So to enter all you have to do is follow me on Twitter @connerowen or Twitter.com/connerowen and I will tweet when the contest is up and I will update this post when the contest it up. Then I will enter all of my followers into random.org and the top two people will get a code for the iPad version of Pulse.

Now don’t complain because there is no end date to the contest. Promo codes only last for four weeks but there’s know telling if I will end the contest tomorrow or in two weeks, so enter A.S.A.P.

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,

PayPal just recently updated their iPhone application (PayPal) with the new ability to take pictures of checks and then the app will automatically deposit them directly to your PayPal account.

Most people use PayPal on regular basis and this is a great addition to the PayPal system. Of course the PayPal app for iPhone (iPod or iPad) is totally free so you can download it from App Store or iTunes Store.

Google Goggles Available for iPhone

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,

Back in December Google Goggles was released for Android T-Mobile smartphones. This allowed users to search in Google Maps using a picture they took. It highlights recognized objects and then all you have to do is click on it to find out more information. Google announced today that Goggles is available for the iPhone.

Quote (via SearchEngineCompany):

Google Mobile’s blog does warn that since “computer vision” is difficult that it’s still a Labs product and that they will continue to work on it to make it work better. Google Mobile App is in the Apple App Store and users need only downloaded the updated version on their iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 devices. Devices must be running iOS 4 or above and Goggles is only enabled for English-speaking users.

You can download it HERE.

Mobile Me Gallery Updated! Now Universal

Uncategorized, , , , , , ,

The Mobile Me Gallery App just received a small but cool update.

It is now a universal app
It has fast app switching integrated
Retna display optimized
And you can view friends galleries without a Mobile Me subscription

Like I said small update but it is mostly news worthly because of the universal app part.

Now all we need it the Apple Store, Keynote Remote, and the Texas Hold’ Em app to be universal and then were good to go!
