Carter and Blake pontificate about Sonic 4, where it succeeds as a nostalgic return to the classic Sonic games, and where the developers could improve in future installments.
Carter and Blake talk about the potential of Windows Phone 7 as a gaming platform on the heels of Microsoft’s first reveal of actual WP7 phones on Monday.
When it comes to sounds that tickle the eardrums, I would consider myself a mass consumer. Whether it be local talk radio, sports, podcast, numerous music stations or even my 28GB+ of mp3s, it is safe to assume that I have my auditory nerves tingling as often as humanly possible. One way that I have found to mass consume both new and old music that I like is through a little website that many have become familiar with by the name of last.fm. The problem, as you can tell, is that I like to listen to far more than just music.
So what is a podcast, talk radio, news and music fiend to do? Why not download the new app AudioPress and let your entire media world be transformed. Combining feeds of everything that you like from all mediums, along with the latest news that is custom fit to you, might be a recipe for success. But what else does this new game-changing software bring to the table?
“AUDIOPRESS brings you the spoken word in all its forms—old and new—so you can hear all the news, entertainment, and information you want while on-the-go.
And with AUDIOPRESS, discovering content and creating sync-free playlists is easy, and intelligent playback can automatically play current episodes only and skip content you’ve already heard, so listening is ‘start-and-go!’” — VIA AudioPress description in App Store
If there were such a thing as custom designed applications, I believe that this would be the one made for me. I spend hours every week listening to numerous different forms of content that I love. The problem is that finding the type of information and entertainment can take months to line-up. This is where AudioPress could be the personal savior of my free time. Now the trick will be living up to the promises that they make in the trailer below. Give the app a download, because I can assure you that the sticker price of absolutely nothing is not going to break any bank.
So what is a Glif? If it is an acronym, then here is a suggestion of what it might stand for.
The G is for a Great stand for the iPhone 4, which is good for all sorts of viewing opportunties in portrait or landscape mode. The L stands for Latch it to a tripod, as it is perfect for taking photos. The I stands for I can finally use Facetime, as the stand will keep that front-facing camera still. The F is for Freakin’ Good Antennagate insurance, as it blocks that certain trouble-spot.
I’m sure that iPhone 4 users are probably wanting to buy one, but you can’t just yet. The good news is the inventor has about $30,000 worth of seed money from private investors to invest.
Today is the day that T-Mobile has official put their G2 Android powered handset up for pre-order. Of course, for now you’re going to have to be a current T-Mobile customer to get down on the pre-order which runs from now until October 4th. If you’re not a current T-Mobile customer and want to get down on the G2, you’re going to have to wait until October 6th when the device will go up for sale to the general public.
$199 with a $50 mail-in rebate will net you the G2 which features a 3.7-inch screen, an 800MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, 4GB of built-in storage and a microSD slot with included 8GB microSD card.
So, like I said, if you’re an existing T-Mobile customer and want to pre-order a G2, head over to their website and slap one down.
One game has cows in it. The other involves saving Earth from destruction. Take a guess which is which.
