************************

Take a look at Domino Fall Stick too!
************************

Arrange Dominos in such a way that once the first is pushed the chain reaction will knock all your dominos down to the very last one.

DominoFall uses a state of the art physics engine, so every domino and every obstacle behave physically correct. This means that you have to keep attention where you place your dominos, because if you put them to high or on a leaning ground it may immediately fall down.

Each level has different obstacles like lanes, slops, rotators, etc. which you have to workaround or use to make your way from the first to the last domino. For each level you have to place your dominos before the times over. Once the countdown reaches zero the first domino gets knocked and if you positioned your dominos correctly the chain reaction must knock the last domino in order to win the level.

Level size can be as big as up to four screens in width and the iPhone accelerator is used to scroll through the level.

This game makes rather addicted, as its just cool to watch the chain reaction from the very first to the very last domino in hope that every domino was put correctly.

Features:
- 15 Levels
- New levels every month for free
- Physic engine used for physical correct domino behaviour when placing them and for the entire chain reaction
- Particle systems used for snow, rain as seen in various levels
- Uses iPhone acceleration sensors
- Resumes last level when you quit the game
- Nice sound effects


TIP: Place your dominos right above the ground or obstacle. If you place them too high they will immediately fall (like in real life )

What’s New

- Fixed bug which allowed to cheat by droping dominos right over the last domino before time was up
- Place bottom side of domino at touched position (instead of middle)

Accessing the Bible is what sets this application apart. "Dial a Verse," first in Touch Bible, makes access to scripture and different translations really fast (because before you can read the bible you have to be able to get the verses).

New English Translation + 60,000 study notes

You'll love the readability and information in the New English Translation. It is a newly translated Bible version that is offered for free in Touch Bible, yet has incredible notes that aren't found in most translations.

Feedback

TouchBible.org is the place to find out more about Touch Bible and suggest features.

On a personal note, I have found myself reading scripture more often in Touch Bible than any other media. It is so easy to get lost in the words, and the words are so much easier to understand with the quick access to other translations and the New English Translations Limited Notes. I deeply desire the same to happen to you.


I hope Touch Bible is a blessing to you.

Touch Bible

After a wait of 4 days, FedEx plopped my new iPhone 3GS on my doorstep yesterday. After hearing all the stories about how difficult it was to get one – Apple sold 1 million 3GS phones in the first 3 days alone – I went online and bought it from the AT&T store and figured that I would wait it out.

To my surprise and delight, I ordered it on Thursday and it arrived on Monday. Not bad at all, especially with the intervening weekend to slow things down. I received a black one, which is what I wanted, although I didn’t have the option to order it in white. Word is that Apple will make the 3GS available in other colors once the buying frenzy subsides.

I bought my 2G with 8GB the day after Apple dropped the price on that model from $600 to $400. Although my 2-year contract had a few more months to run, I was able to upgrade for $18, so I jumped on board.

After lovingly unpacking the box, which in itself is an object d’art,  I plugged the phone in for about an hour to make sure I had a fully charged battery (it was already partially charged). Then, I fired up iTunes to activate the phone with Apple and transfer my existing apps and music to my new phone. The entire process took about an hour, which is less than I expected because I also had heard horror stories about Apple having problems handling activation requests.

Once that was done, I went online to activate the iPhone with AT&T, which took all of about 15 minutes, again a pleasant surprise.

The first thing I noticed was everything was speedier — apps loaded faster and I was able to move icons from one screen to the other with a zipadeedoodah. I launched Free Memory, after about an hour of toying around and saw that I had 81.77 MB room left to play with. With my 2G, if I had say, 22 MB, it was a big deal.

I fired up Speed Test-iNetwork to see what kind of download speeds and latency I was getting off 3G and EDGE networks. It was no contest, as you would expect. Now, I’m looking at getting downloads speeds that are almost twice as fast. “You can’t beat that with a stick,” as my friend Howie used to say.

This phone sounds better too. The familiar click, for example, was replaced by one that is “meatier,” which is about the only way I can describe it. The phone is louder for the same setting as my 2G and the ring tone seems more full. All this is purely subjective, I admit, but all I can say is that it rings with quality.

The headphone jack is no longer proprietary like it is on my 2G. Listening to music with a high-quality pair of Sennheiser headphones was a revelation compared to everyday earphones like the one Apple includes with the iPhone and iP touch.

It’s still early, so please give me a little time to poke around with the hardware and report in.

Next up: I’ll answer the question that everyone wants to know: Should I upgrade to the new iPhone 3GS?
