2011-09-23T00:23:00.000-07:00

Unless you've spent the last 16 years in a fallout shelter underground, or have recently regained consciousness, no need for great introductions. We all remember and, leaving aside some of the recent versions, we love small Worms and their funny wars. To the delight of many, today's news is directly related to the saga, as Team 17 has announced Worms Crazy Golf game for IOS.

As figure out the title, this next release will focus exclusively on a sport that, when combined with different characters on different consoles, has been almost synonymous with success and fun. Worms Crazy Golf is popular and addictive fusion of classical two-dimensional and a crazy golf tournament with 18 holes.

On this occasion, the player must go through a series of scenarios and characters full of obstacles, and guide the little white ball into the tranquility of the golf green and the hole:"The Britannia Field development reveals playful rolling hills and sheep, however, all is not as idyllic as it seems. In the heart of "Sceptre Isle" is a lush green golf course, full of devilish tricks such as cannons, castles, mischievous moles, cable cars, and angry old golfers have a tendency to redistribute his ball. "Judging from the video, this new release sounds very funny and promising. Still, do not think it could surpass the success and popularity of the first and innovative versions of Worms so many hours of our lives have been stolen.

On the other hand, unfortunately, has not yet announced the official launch date, but is expected to be within reach of our fingers before year's end. What we do know is this: This title will be available for Apple devices: iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone.

Best Pay as you Go Mobile Broadband Deals

2010-06-15T04:33:00.000-07:00

Pay as you go mobile broadband deals are even much popular now due to several advantages over traditional contract based mobile broadband offers. Generally, such plans have lower costs in the long range for phone users who do not heavily use Internet and SMS based mobile chat applications. Also ,why to pay more for the advanced features or high bandwidth limits which some phone users will never use? They are also preferred because there are no contract at all or with a very short range like 1 month or even with daily payments. It gives freedom to change a provider without paying an early termination fee. Some pay as you go mobile broadband plans will also enable phone owners buying it without a permanent address declaration, phone line rental or credit card.

By the time of writing this post, I see that offers from O2 and Vodafone are quite attractive. For example, Vodafone starter offer, TopUp & Go with 3GB download limit, without a contract costs you only £25. When you need data, you can at any time buy 3GB package again for £15. I should add that you get the modem stick for free which costs £20 alone. I advice you browsing to this website often to get the latest deal values. Remember that mobile broadband market is very competitive and you can find the best deal by using the tools on this website.

What you will get besides free Asus laptop is 3GB data on a 3.6 mb speed. If you don't need 3GB, you can consider buying only 0.25 GB data.

Internet access on the move

2010-05-07T08:54:00.000-07:00

The answer to pretty much anything is quite literally in the palm of our hands. With the advent of mobile broadband, on smartphones and laptops, plus WiFi access available in most cafes, pubs, trains and even beaches (think Brighton) wherever we are, the internet is never more than a few clicks away.

There’s a wide range of providers and a large selection of gadgets and operators promising to provide access to internet on the move. So, where to begin when choosing mobile broadband?

Get smart

Smartphones have revolutionised the mobile phone, providing an all in one media package to call, browse the web, manage emails, listen to music, find your way home and even make a cup of tea (not quite! – maybe next year...) With new models hitting the shops and online stores practically every day, choosing the best smartphone for your needs is a tricky business.

When deciding on a smartphone, think about what you’re going to use it for. If it’s just checking your emails there may be no point going for something all singing, all dancing – although most offer an exciting range of functionality. The all round king is the iPhone, with its range of fun and usefulapps, good looks and intuitive touch screen.

Apps and emails aside, the most important thing to ensure is that your broadband speed cuts the mustard and your contract accommodates the data usage you require. Do you want to download music and even movies? Some of the best smartphone providers offer good deals for heavy downloaders, so shop around. Many also include impressive add on storage options, which means keeping and backing up the data you access is easier than ever before.

If you really want your mobile to be ‘mobile’, make sure the phone has 3G internet, or HSDPA which is even quicker – 3G can be sporadic on a train. WiFi capability means that you can access fixed-line internet, at home or work, which may be more cost-effective.

Dongle dilemmas

Smartphones are all very well, but for business and watching films you can actually see, making your laptop mobile might be a better option. Dongles are a great way to keep online on the move and while they may have previously had a reputation of being expensive, prices are coming down.

The dongle works like a mobile phone, with a Sim card embedded in a USB stick or laptop that connects to the network of your chosen provider. Like mobile phones, there is now an increasing number of pay as you go or contract deals, with the laptop provided ‘free’. The ‘free’ option can sound very appealing but check the small print and how long you’re tied in for – in some cases 24 months.

What do you want to use your laptop for? Check how many downloads you’ll be allowed a month, measured in gigabytes (GB). Look at this carefully – if you do want to download films, make sure you’ve got enough – 1GB for example, equates to 250-1000 songs, but only one poor quality movie. Speeds are advertised at hugely varying rates, but in reality, there isn’t that much difference.

The downside of all this fun at your fingertips can be the price. Like for like, mobile broadband is more expensive, with fairly low usage limits compared with fixed-line alternatives. If you don’t use the internet on your phone or dongle that often, there are some great pay as you go packages available and for those with higher usage, an all-inclusive contract’s probably the best option. If you’re at home, use your fixed-line broadband – it’s probably cheaper and quicker.

Linkin Park & Gorillaz iPhone Games

2010-04-22T01:14:00.000-07:00

The bands who have huge number of fans like Linkin Park, Gorillaz announced their own iPhone games. Linkin Park game is called as 8-bit rebellion. As the name suggests, it exactly is. The graphic renderings, characters look like from the good old video arcade game days. The difference is that the game characters are Linkin Park personas and fight the evil PixxelKorp to bring the world into happy days. The music is exactly Linkin Park songs .. ummhh just in 8-bits. Wonder the game? See the video review below.

The next partner in the iPhone band games wagon is Gorillaz. Gorillaz' title is called as Escape to the Plastic Beach. It is a 3D game with good accelerometer usage. The first 2 chapters are already in band's website for free to play. The next chapters will be in App Store soon (surely, not free). The game topic is flying Murdoc around the island to dodge pirate ships, dive in thermals, explode mines etc. Check App Store regularly.

Using Wireless Broadband on iPhone 3GS

2010-04-16T09:09:00.000-07:00

iPhone 3GS is a revolutionary device for many aspects. Especially, the ability of huge data download thanks to 3G HSDPA networks, wireless broadband Internet surfing is rather attractive on iPhone 3GS with up to 7.2 Mbps. This is a rather fast broadband connection for a smart phone. Plus, Internet Tethering is very successful at iPhone 3GS. Internet tethering is ability to share iPhone 3GS internet connection with other devices, a laptop being the most obvious one. Internet Tethering also requires that your carrier supports it. For example, O2, Orange and Vodafone supports internet tethering in UK. Overall, iPhone 3GS is the most developed smart phone to enjoy internet at latest HSPDA speeds. I think it is one of the most powerful reasons that active professionals, businessmen and other Internet addicts are fond of iPhone 3GS.

Many famous carriers in UK provides very attractive iphone 3GS deals for customers. You can compare them at Mobile Phone Expert website. Some deal plans even let you require iPhone 3GS for free with 18 to 24 months contract. I will give you some examples as of April 2010. For example, I have noticed a very competitive deal from Orange. You get 3000 minutes, 500 texts monthly with a cost of £75, on a 24 months contract. Needless to say, iPhone 3GS is given for free. If you are using text messages much, consider upgrading this option to unlimited. Just a few pounds will be added to the monthly price for it. If you want real freedom on communication, consider buying unlimited minutes and text. It would increase the price to around £110. If you are an active Internet user like me, you can enjoy getting 1GB and more mobile internet and webmail for free.

Surely, iPhone 3GS is not the only wireless broadband enabled 3G mobile phone on earth. You can compare mobile phones and mobile phone deals with free smart phone offers at Mobile Phone Expert website at http://www.mobilephone-expert.co.uk.

Let's continue talking on wireless broadband deals which are available for other popular device, laptops and internet tablets which become more and more popular. As you know, wireless broadband totally frees a person to search wi-fi point to have internet access. Wherever you are, Internet is at your fingers with an USB modem attached to your laptop.

Like in UK and US, Australian wireless broadband market also increased a lot and this development enables to customers to choose very affordable wireless broadband contracts. You can compare offers from Yes Optus, 3, Vodafone, Westnet and others at Broadband Expert website at http://www.broadbandexpert.com.au. I think that such companies will begin offering free laptops soon to attract customers. So, I suggest adding this wireless broadband comparison website to your favorites.

Catan - iPhone Settlement & Trading Strategy Game

2010-01-31T02:26:00.000-08:00

Many people will remember Catan. One of the classic traditional board games which first released in 1995. During the next 15 years, the game has developed into a huge world with lots of scenario additions, expansion packs, maps etc. It then appeared as an online browser game. Now, it is available for iPhone (no need to mention much that it is available for brother iPod touch every time surely). Settlers of Catan. It is a well-thought version of the traditional board game, actually we can think the iPhone game version as a small sized tabletop game. The iPhone game version allows playing up to four people (or surely bots).

Catan for iPhone, essentially follows the traditional game playing rules of most classic settlement games. You collect resources, build settlements, cities. Every thing you build makes your stronger & stronger and you compete to reach to achieve a pre-defined point total (default is 10) before other players. If you ever have played Settlers of Catan, iPhone Catan game rules will be the thing you will ignore. Just start playing. Otherwise, a digital tutorial section will help you to learn the rules and basic strategies: building, trading, collection resources.

The gameplaying screen is well-thought to fit on iPhone & iPod touch. Every move was clearly shown with different colors and animations. Overall there is much to explore in Catan iPhone version. I would suggest buying it. Link at iTunes.
