Microsoft recently demoed their Zune HD and its been collecting pretty rave reviews from all over. Its screen and UI is being touted as better then iPod touch.

Quote From Gizmodo which did a Quick Hands-On :

The device is tighter and more physically beautiful than the iPod Touch and it’s got a better UI, the main menu’s scrolling so natural through the swipe gestures. There’s a little note on the side, under the volume toggle—”Hello from Seattle.” The power button is up top. The home button is nice and prominent, a bar rather than a round button on the Touch. It’s smaller. And the accelerometer is more swift in responding to repositioning; images rotate very fast.

Here is the video of the Zune HD in action :

Indeed its impressive, but it faces a uphill battle with iPod Touch, which is having a pretty decent customer score and not to to forget that 40000+ apps store. And as rumored that Apple is coming out with their upgraded iPod Touch model, we will be seeing a pretty good competition between these too :-) .

As WWDC comes nearer, everyday few pictures are being leaked which either claim to be upcoming iPhone pictures or concepts based in the information being shared till now. So, here are 2 are were being circulated currently :-) .

The first one is from link where the designer came up with the concept design based in the leaked bezel for new gen iPhone. Little unlikely but nevertheless impressive.

Second one is the matte finish iPhone picture from macrumors, which is being circulated for long and this might be just a new addition to the pack.

Again I must add that these pictures might not be the real deal, but they sure point to something and letting us know what to expect from the new gen iPhone :-) .

UMPCFever released few pictures which might be of the upcoming new gen iPhone 4G.

It shows all the new iPhone 3.0 OS features in action like Compass, Autofocus feature in camera , CPU Log and more. Although the pictures are blurred but they give the idea on what to expect from new gen iPhone ( if these are real ofcourse :-) ) .

For the complete set of pictures check out the UMPCFever website.

Can this be the new gen iPhone which we all have been waiting for. This mock up picture is made with the new leaked bezel design for iPhone, and considerable change can be seen as ear phone seem to be shifted up, and camera seem to put in that location.

Although new gen iPhone may not look exactly look like this but this new design can be discarded right away. I will update if more details comes out on this :-) .

Having troubles with one-game apps, then try the app from teamphobic which gives you 25 games in one app. So, you start from one game and as you pass that game you move to another game with your score increased, plain and simple :-) .

Check out the video below which shows the app in action :

There are plenty of tower defense gaming apps for iPhone on app store but still TowerMadness stands apart from all those due all the features that it offers. The 3D gameplay is impressive and it enhances the whole gaming experience.

New enemies to beat and new campaigns to conquer and the zoom feature in game-play might not seem much useful to some but personally I do like it a lot. Its a new approach and appreciable which gives users to see the game-play from many angles from the regular top-down view.

Check out the video of the gameplay to see what I am talking about :

Forgot to mention, you have to save your beloved sheep’s from aliens in this game :-) .

Features of the app from developer’s website :

  • High-performance 3D graphics
  • Meticulously crafted and polished gameplay
  • Spatialized positional audio
  • Challenging path-finding enemy AI (no boring predefined paths!)
  • 16 unique enemy types
  • 9 unique tower types with 5 upgrades each, and an ultimate weapon – the Nuke
  • 4 maps in the Campaign with increasing levels of difficulty and complexity
  • Account profiles let you share TowerMadness with up to 5 friends and family, keeping your scores and saved games separate
  • Fast graphics mode option for slower devices and maximum framerates

Online features:

  • Free downloadable maps and game modes to keep the madness going
  • Replays let you show off your strategies, learn new ones, and watch your friends play
  • Compete with global high scores
  • Detailed statistics for each player

So, in all the game will impress tower defense game fans and it surely offers something which is missing from app store. And I am pretty certain that there will more maps added to the app in future updates, as currently the app comes with 4 + 1 extra map for playing. More details about the app on its official website.

TowerMadness costs $1.99 and you can buy the app from iTunes App Store Link .

Day by Day as iPhone reaches more people around the world, its popularity is increasing, hence people will find new ways to play around with iPhone. And Here is a classic example of to which extent iPhone has reached, in Malaysia there is a four member band who only play music with their iPhone’s and nothing else and they are brilliant :-) .

Check out the videos below and be amazed by their skills.

The apps which are used in the band are Bands(iTunes Link) , Bassist(iTunes Link) and Pocket Guitar(iTunes Link)

So if you are looking to start you band, you have a clue where to look out for :-) .
