The iSnap game for iPhone could be a relative of Tetris and Ping-Pong old good games. The gameplay is simple – touch the ball, pull it back (like an arrow in a bow) and shoot. The ball rises high and drops on the color bricks. If you will hit one in a number of same color bricks – all of them will disappear. You can also get bonuses like clocks, hammers or traditional dynamite.
The game is as sticky as a chewing gum. Run it and spend a day playing it. The only minus is the way to control a ball – it’s too sensitive.
Price: $0.99

Russia based iPhone application developer Rashid (rashn) have decided to prove the lite-version theory, that was described a little bit earlier. To investigate it, he published a lite version of aBalls Lite game, that was previewed on our site about a week ago.
The results have completely confirmed the theory. aBalls Lite is conquering the top-lists of app sales in USA (now it’s on 76th place after 86th and 93rd). As to the commercial version of the game – it slides down from the sales peak.
Thank you for the experiment commitied, Rashid!
Price: free.

On fourth of September the Dinner Dash game – an economic strategy from PlayFirst Inc, was released at AppStore.
You must make a 5-stars restaurant out of the fast-food café, what you’ve got at the start of the game. All you need is to manage your restaurant personal in a way to serve all the clients as fast as possible. If your visitors enjoy the service and environment they will pay tips to you. The more clients are happy – the more tips you’ll get. You can use the money earned to buy additional service machines, hire musicians and additional personal.
On 50 unique levels of the game you’ll come across with 6 types of customers, and don’t think they’ll allow you just sit tight and watch the gameplay. There is a campaign and one alternative game mode included.
The only disadvantage of this exciting and perfect made game is it’s high cost. The $4.99 price could invite much more customers.
Price: $9.99

Here’s a common e-mail from common software user to common software developer.
“Dear Santa Developer, please give me a shareware or uncommercial version of your perfect utility. I really want to try it before I’ll make a decisions to buy it or not”.
The current tendencies in AppStore show, that only 1% of those, who download a lite-version of application, buy it officially. In spite of it, the lite-version of app can be on the top of the ratings, have a hundreds of positive reports. But the full version of the same application will be able only to envy the lite’s popularity…
That totally meets the Arthur Shopengauer’s philosophy. He postulated, that The Happines (an ability to run a software in our terminology) is phantom, because even a man achieves a goal (downloads a lite-version) he doesn’t get a moment of happiness just receiving a satiety and getting bored (leaves an interest to a full-version of app).
Don’t bother the Developers. Let them work in comfortable environment without any stupid requests to give everything and without any charge…

Some days ago there was a post about the Blue Skies game coming. And finally it’s available in AppStore and costs $9.99.
The controls are simple and intuitive – ypu should use an accelerometer and multitouch-scheme. Yor attack helicopter will engage numerous tanks, bunkers, aviation units… All of them should be melted with a storm of fire and steel, coming out of your gunship. That shouldn’t be an easy walk – 30 levels are long enough, the armor is not bullet-proof, and fuel tanks are getting empty just in the most heat!

Buy it or not – that would be the only your decision. But those who have bought it are storming the enemy horde at the moment. And why are you still here???

A new Kill-em-All game were published in AppStore. The gameplay is clear – don’t let the enemy travel from A-point to B-point. You must use different artillery to achieve the goal. Any structure you build you can upgrade for a small (ore huge) sum of money. To collect money you mast destroy as many enemies as possible.
I used to play flash-version of this game, and was really so excited with it, that a week of my life was thrown into a recycle bin.
Now we are able to enjoy the gameplay on our lovely iPhones. The game is saved when a player quits the application. Three difficulty levels, three types of disposition – what else do we need to fly away from this place called reality?

While this review was created a nice and useful application iPocket by Erica Sadun was thrown out of AppStore. As you remember, this is a second occasion of this type, that happened to Erica – recently she was denied to sell a Light app there. But the iPocket app was so interesting and our believe in justice was so strong, so we decided to publish the review.
The iPocket application was announced on many tech-blogs and it was completely impossible to miss the D-Day of release. The main feature of this software is an ability to transfer files to computers/servers using Wi-Fi Interface, or just EDGE.
The following app features were announced:
- A FTP and Bonjour transfer protocols support, and, as it follows, an ability to transfer files to PC/Mac/Linux/*nix workstations and servers;
- An ability to view PDF, text- and mediafiles on iPhone;
- a dedicated HTTP-server to manage files through web-browser.
There are four sections in app:iPocket, FTP, Account и WWW .
The first one displays files, available on mobile phone. You can just look through the list, there are not any operations like rename or modify permitted. If you still want to do that – so use MobileFinder.
In FTP section you can connect to preliminary configured server. After connection established you will be able to list the contents of FTP-folder.
An Account part is responsible of FTP server configuration. Everything is clear – Server, Username and Password fields are standard. Unfortunately you can’t point your FTP client to any port that differs from the default 21.
A WWW-section was not available on the test phone. If there’s anyone who has bought this app please leave a comment, does a WWW works on your mobile or not.
You can do the following in the Viewer-mode:
- examine the file’s attributes;
- send the file by email;
- transfer file using Bonjour or FTP protocol.
The servers for FTP and SMTPAUTH are configured manually.
So, what are the impressions about this software? There’s a lot to do with this app version. We would like to see:
- the properly working WWW-server;
- an ability to manage a number of FTP-accounts on your iPhone;
- in ability to manage files using FTP – moving them, renaming and so on…
- a renewed interface;
- in ability to organize downloaded files in folders in automatic or manual mode.
Inspite of all, the target software looks like a good improvement of MobileFinder и DataCase applications.
Price: $6.99

And now we’ll try to configure the iPocket to communicate with your workstation. Mac owners could take a seat aside, wait while this utility will download another nice movie from FTP and see, how the Mighty Guys will configure an FTP-server on Windows-workstation.
The one of the best open license applications for managing FTP-server is FileZilla Server. First of all, you should download it from the official project site (http://filezilla-project.org/) and install on your PC.
During the installation process the remote administration port was changed by tester. All other settings were left default.
After the installation will be finished you’ll see a Administration account logon window. Leave the Password field empty.
First of all, enter the Edit->Settings->Admin interface settings menu, check the Change admin password checkbox and enter a new Administrator’s password. Yes, of course twice.
After that you must enter the Edit->Users menu and configure the FTP user accounts. If you will experiencing troubles managing them just look at the screenshots.
You can also configure all other application settings if you would like.
That’s all! The installation and initial configuration is finished. Mac-boys can take their iPhones and connect to your brand new FTP-server.
