How to install any paid or free game or app directly from your iPhone 3G!</h1> <article> <h1>How to install any paid or free game or app directly from your iPhone 3G!</h1> Hi, all Apple iPhone 3G fans. Finally I have finished my First Unofficial Apple iPhone 3G manual. Today I start official sales of this unique manual on my website. Let me explain why this manual is so amazing. This manual is so-called „step-by-step” instructions created for all amateur, newbie and professional iPhone users, so this is a detailed [...]<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=-RJnVeyyckk:85A-9NomDbQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=-RJnVeyyckk:85A-9NomDbQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=-RJnVeyyckk:85A-9NomDbQ:l6gmwiTKsz0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=-RJnVeyyckk:85A-9NomDbQ:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=-RJnVeyyckk:85A-9NomDbQ:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=-RJnVeyyckk:85A-9NomDbQ:7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=-RJnVeyyckk:85A-9NomDbQ:dnMXMwOfBR0"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Apple rejects Commodore 64 emulator app</h1> (Credit: Wikipedia) Apple rejected a fully licensed emulator of the venerable Commodore 64 (C64) based on the SDK rules that specifically prohibit interpreted or executable code. Manomio's application, also called C64 ( c64iphone.com ), allowed users to play classic C64 games, run applications and use Commodore BASIC. "The rejection letter simply stated a violation of section 3.2.2 of the iPhone Developer's Agreement," said Manomio. According to developers we know, section 3.2.2 reads as follows. "An Application may not itself install or launch other executable code by any means, including without limitation through the use of a plug-in architecture, calling other frameworks, other APIs or otherwise. No interpreted code may be downloaded and used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple's Published APIs and built-in interpreter(s)." The rejection is odd considering that there are some apps in the iTunes App Store that emulate programmable calculators . Also, one app called Frotz ( iTunes link ) is a Z-machine interpreter. The rejection makes even less sense when you consider that two games, Gold Axe ( iTunes link ) and Sonic ( iTunes link ), are apps that emulate old game console ROMs, which is exactly what the emulator is doing for old C64 games. (Credit: Manomio) Manomio has to do the following before Apple will accept the C64 emulator . Remove access to BASIC--instead of booting up, the emulator just shows a blank screen and is not interactive until you run a game. Prior to this, you could actually interact with the BASIC interpreter. Remove the RESET button from the virtual keyboard Renamed the "C64 Shop" to "More Games" Yet, Manomio disputes the last point. "It was never officially confirmed from Apple this[C64 Shop] was an issue, but many comments thought this was our own store for selling games," the developer told us. "It now clearly shows that it will link to additional C64 titles in the App Store." It appears as if Apple is concerned that Manomio was trying to circumvent iTunes App Store sales, something that Apple usually doesn't take to kindly to. Granted, we think that it was a poor choice for Manomio to use the word Shop in the app, particular if you consider all the other crazy reasons for app rejections. We'll never know for sure, but that word alone may sum up the reason for Apple's rejection. Indeed, we think that it's a good theory considering the aforementioned apps that already support interpreted or executable code. Hopefully, Apple will accept the C64 app with the above changes so we can enjoy some of our favorite C64 games again. We'd also like to see the return of Commodore BASIC at some point so we can try out some of our favorite POKE and PEEK commands. A YouTube video demonstrating the C64 emulator is shown below: Personally, I'd like to see some if my old BASIC and machine language C64 programs will run under the emulator on my iPhone. The C64 was the first computer that I ever wrote about (for Compute! magazine) and I developed C64 games and applications. The computer even turned a hobby into a career spanning decades which is partially chronicled in my Switcher's Manifesto . Commodore International released the Commodore 64 ( WikiPedia ) in 1982. Originally priced at $595, sales eventually totaled 30 million units, making it the best-selling single personal computer model of all time. The 8-bit home computer featured advanced video and audio hardware as well as a whopping 64K of RAM and a zippy (for its time) 1.02 Mhz CPU.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=Rd03x1o1kYY:-xO_WvR2LxI:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=Rd03x1o1kYY:-xO_WvR2LxI:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=Rd03x1o1kYY:-xO_WvR2LxI:l6gmwiTKsz0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=Rd03x1o1kYY:-xO_WvR2LxI:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=Rd03x1o1kYY:-xO_WvR2LxI:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=Rd03x1o1kYY:-xO_WvR2LxI:7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=Rd03x1o1kYY:-xO_WvR2LxI:dnMXMwOfBR0"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Video apskats | Bloons</h1> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=7p7nhVEbV2I:l3c8C1PmnrM:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=7p7nhVEbV2I:l3c8C1PmnrM:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=7p7nhVEbV2I:l3c8C1PmnrM:l6gmwiTKsz0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=7p7nhVEbV2I:l3c8C1PmnrM:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=7p7nhVEbV2I:l3c8C1PmnrM:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=7p7nhVEbV2I:l3c8C1PmnrM:7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=7p7nhVEbV2I:l3c8C1PmnrM:dnMXMwOfBR0"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Apple releases iPhone OS, SDK 3.1 betas to developers</h1> (Credit: Apple, Inc.)

But Doom Resurrection is more than a port: it's an all-new Doom game written expressly for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Indeed, whereas Id's Wolfenstein 3D Classic merely shrunk the original down to iPhone size, Doom Resurrection offers eight new Doom 3-inspired levels (six set on Mars, the others in Hell). Screenshots don't do it justice; Doom Resurrection looks tremendous. However, don't expect a traditional first-person shooter experience; Doom Resurrection runs on rails, meaning you don't get to roam free throughout each level. Instead, the game moves you from one encounter to the next; the challenge lies in aiming your target reticule (which is controlled by the accelerometer), blasting a familiar assortment of hellspawn, and ducking incoming fire via well-timed taps of the Dodge button. If a zombie manages to grab you, you have to shake your iPhone to get loose before he eats your brains. In other words, Resurrection may look like Doom and sound like Doom, but it doesn't play like Doom. As it turns out, that's a good thing. Touch screens and tilt sensors work well for certain types of games, but they're no substitute for a mouse and keyboard or your garden-variety gamepad. Consequently, in most iPhone-size FPS games, you're battling the controls at the same time you're battling demons. That's a war I don't care to wage. In Doom Resurrection, however, you get to focus on aiming, reloading, and killing--all with a familiar arsenal of weapons (including the beloved BFG). While longtime Doom fans may feel a bit cheated by the rail system, the gameplay ultimately benefits from it. In fact, Resurrection accomplishes its goal of feeling like a game that was built for the iPhone, not shoehorned into it. Whether or not that justifies the $9.99 price tag is up to you, but I think fans of either the genre or the seminal series will be pleased.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=9sDbuaqfP6w:TaywWqfr9_A:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=9sDbuaqfP6w:TaywWqfr9_A:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=9sDbuaqfP6w:TaywWqfr9_A:l6gmwiTKsz0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=9sDbuaqfP6w:TaywWqfr9_A:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=9sDbuaqfP6w:TaywWqfr9_A:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=9sDbuaqfP6w:TaywWqfr9_A:7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=9sDbuaqfP6w:TaywWqfr9_A:dnMXMwOfBR0"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>iPhone Deal of the Day: Five App Store freebies</h1> I love free stuff, and it seems like each day brings a wealth of new free goodies to the iPhone App Store. Here's a look at five notable apps that won't cost you a cent (at least for now--some are free only temporarily, so get 'em while you can). This free, sexist app explains the "20! Top Man Things Men Must Know." 20! Top Man Things Men Must Know If you can excuse the sexist, unwieldy title, you'll find some undeniably useful information here: how to bandage a wound, perform basic CPR, fix a flat, and so on. (Note to developer: Why not call it 20 Top Things Everyone Should Know?) BlueSwap It's not quite PalmPilot-style beaming, but it's close. BlueSwap lets you swap contact information with other iPhone/iPod Touch users. Bluetooth makes it possible, meaning there's no need to use some third-party social network. (I haven't tried this yet, as I'm the only iPhone owner in the immediate vicinity, so if you're able to put it to the test, drop a comment.) C.A.R. - Accident Report Nobody likes a fender-bender, but if you absolutely positively must have one, this app will help you manage the details. It's similar to the iWrecked app I wrote about last month , but a little more robust. Droste Effect This is better seen than described, so I'll just say that if you like eye candy, you'll find this one visually tasty app. Really cool. Space Trader: Moon Madness If you like strategy games of the Lemonade Stand variety , which challenge you to make money rather than blast aliens, you're sure to get a kick out of Space Trader. True to its name, it casts you as a moon-based commodities broker. Buy, sell, profit. Perfect for Ferengi wanna-bes. OK, your turn: What fab freebies have you pulled from the App Store in recent days? Don't keep 'em to yourself--let your fellow iPhone users know about them in the comments!<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=cyang7UPU2c:cfypgQL-gLg:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=cyang7UPU2c:cfypgQL-gLg:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=cyang7UPU2c:cfypgQL-gLg:l6gmwiTKsz0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=cyang7UPU2c:cfypgQL-gLg:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=cyang7UPU2c:cfypgQL-gLg:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=cyang7UPU2c:cfypgQL-gLg:7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=cyang7UPU2c:cfypgQL-gLg:dnMXMwOfBR0"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Photo | iPhone girl #47</h1> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=AXOM_F_-35k:T9BUGdil-io:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=AXOM_F_-35k:T9BUGdil-io:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=AXOM_F_-35k:T9BUGdil-io:l6gmwiTKsz0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=AXOM_F_-35k:T9BUGdil-io:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=AXOM_F_-35k:T9BUGdil-io:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=AXOM_F_-35k:T9BUGdil-io:7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=AXOM_F_-35k:T9BUGdil-io:dnMXMwOfBR0"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Pics | iPhone art</h1> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=TmuRitbqjBI:VKYKhq3w02A:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=TmuRitbqjBI:VKYKhq3w02A:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=TmuRitbqjBI:VKYKhq3w02A:l6gmwiTKsz0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=TmuRitbqjBI:VKYKhq3w02A:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=TmuRitbqjBI:VKYKhq3w02A:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=TmuRitbqjBI:VKYKhq3w02A:7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=TmuRitbqjBI:VKYKhq3w02A:dnMXMwOfBR0"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Video | Mecho Wars iPhone App Review</h1> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=Ckx9LryFhb4:SRsMjjFCFcY:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=Ckx9LryFhb4:SRsMjjFCFcY:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=Ckx9LryFhb4:SRsMjjFCFcY:l6gmwiTKsz0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=Ckx9LryFhb4:SRsMjjFCFcY:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=Ckx9LryFhb4:SRsMjjFCFcY:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=Ckx9LryFhb4:SRsMjjFCFcY:7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=Ckx9LryFhb4:SRsMjjFCFcY:dnMXMwOfBR0"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Video | Star Defense iPhone App Review</h1> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=KObtrqsx7O8:6kcfRmqhuMw:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=KObtrqsx7O8:6kcfRmqhuMw:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=KObtrqsx7O8:6kcfRmqhuMw:l6gmwiTKsz0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=KObtrqsx7O8:6kcfRmqhuMw:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=KObtrqsx7O8:6kcfRmqhuMw:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=KObtrqsx7O8:6kcfRmqhuMw:7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/apple-iphone-europe?a=KObtrqsx7O8:6kcfRmqhuMw:dnMXMwOfBR0"></img></a> </div> </article> </main></body></html>
