]]> It’s gotta be frustrating to work for Samsung these days—where they put out their latest and greatest products and then, like clockwork, the claims from Apple start rolling in… This time, the Galaxy S4 and Google Now are being targeted, and rather than brand new claims, we’re seeing Apple add the device and service to its list of offenders.

s4-130315-2According to the recent filing, “The Galaxy S4 product practices many of the same claims already asserted by Apple… in the same way as the already-accused Samsung devices.” And what exactly are these devices accused of doing? The patents listed in the filing mostly revolve around Siri. The claim against Samsung seems to have been substantially broadened by the implementation of Google Now, which took over for the Android Quick Search Box in some cases.

For what it’s worth, here are some of the patents being held up in court, in full legal speak:

  • U.S. Patent No. 8,086,604—”Universal interface for retrieval of information in a computer system.”
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,666,502—”Graphical user interface using historical lists with field classes.”
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,946,647—”System and method for performing an action on a structure in computer-generated data.”
  • U.S. Patent No. 7,761,414—”Asynchronous data synchronization amongst devices.”

The judge responsible for sorting all this out is Paul S. Grewal, and the proceedings are set to begin on June 25 in San Jose… Got to think Samsung is hoping for a better ending than last time.

]]> Epic-for-iPad-1

What do you do when you’ve played out every game installed on your iDevice? Wait for Wednesday night, of course, and then load up on the App Store’s hot new releases. This week brought a nice batch of games, from a Gameloft movie tie-in to a game set in a fish tank… Read on for more details and trailers.

Epic

Epic ™ (4.5 stars with 41 User Ratings)
Universal App
Free

Gameloft is cashing in on Blue Sky’s Epic. The free tie-in game has us building armies, collecting minerals, and taking care of other managerial duties, we suppose…

Poker Night 2

Poker Night 2 (4.5 stars with 22 User Ratings)
Universal App
$4.99

If you’ve ever wanted to play Poker alongside some well-known game characters, this one from Telltale Games is for you. It’s $4.99 and puts you up against the likes of Claptrap (Borderlands 2), Brock Samson (The Venture Bros.), Ash (Army of Darkness), and Sam (Sam and Max).

Men’s Room Mayhem

Men’s Room Mayhem (4.5 stars with 8 User Ratings)
Universal App
$0.99

Pretty sure we can say this is the first game we’ve seen—on any platform—to be set in a men’s restroom. In Men’s Room Mayhem, your job is to direct  guys with full bladders to empty urinals (bonus points for keeping extra space between them!). It’s a disgusting concept, and one we look forward to playing for 99 cents.

1968

1968 (4.5 stars with 6 User Ratings)
Universal App
Free

This free title is built around the idea that, in 1968, “USA sent a small car to the moon… And all they found was Cheese.” So now that cheese needs to be collected, and that means exciting platformer action for us. This one’s free to play.

Zombie Fish Tank

Zombie Fish Tank (4.5 stars with 22 User Ratings)
Universal App
$0.99

Ever dreamt you’re a zombified fish? This one from Chillingo lets you live out that dream. There are 40 levels, and from the look of things, they’re all super intense. Try it for 99 cents.

Combo Crew

Combo Crew (4.5 stars with 26 User Ratings)
Universal App
$1.99

Fight your way to the evil Mr. Boss in this retro-looking brawler. Sure to please fans of similar games from years gone by, Combo Crew costs just $1.99.

]]> Many of us waited weeks to get through the waiting list when the Mailbox app Mailbox - Orchestra, Inc. was released on iPhone. Unfortunately, the excitement at having your turn come up might have been dampened when you realized there was no iPad counterpart for the Gmail client. Well, today brings good news. Version 1.3 of the app brings iPad support, and according to the Mailbox blog, you can now “swipe your way to inbox zero on all your iOS devices.”

mailboxipad-642x556

While it’s nice to get a uniform experience from smartphone to tablet, I doubt many users found the initial lack of an iPad app to be a deal breaker. Since we were already using Gmail long before Mailbox, most of us probably kept our other systems in tact when it came to email on platforms other than iPhone… That said, we love the idea of using Mailbox in all scenarios, and the availability of the app on iPad should only serve to strengthen our resolve to keep that inbox cleared.

The only thing better than getting an iPad version of Mailbox is the disappearance of reservations. Sure, they heightened anticipation the first time around, but now that Mailbox has affirmed its position as a well-loved Gmail client, new users will appreciate the chance to jump on board without a lengthy wait—whether they realize it or not.

For those who have spent some time with Mailbox on iPad, how does it compare to the iPhone version? The notes for Version 1.3 don’t mention any new features, but we wouldn’t be surprised if swiping to zero on iPad is even more satisfying than it is in the pocket-sized app.

Today’s iPhone app is a great way to test your word knowledge while playing a slot machine-like game to get that Vegas feel. It’s called Word Slots.

Word Slots isn’t like most other word games, requiring you to have an already developed repository of obscure words from various time periods. Like a slot machine, all you do is pull a lever to be given a series of letters that you will then hope match up with the bet you made beforehand as to how many words could be made with those letters. Using your finger, you’ll draw connections between the letters that make words, and if you bet correctly, you’ll reap rewards. It’s as simple as that, and with no need for in-app purchases, you’ll get to keep playing regardless of whether or not you’re winning. There are five different characters you can level up and upgrade with cool gear, along with 70 missions and levels of slot action, and even Game Center achievements. If you’re looking for another game to help stretch your vocabulary, then Word Slots might just be it.

A lot of people are obsessed with celebrity culture, and if you think you might be one of them, then today’s game is just for you.

It’s called In Yo Face, and it’s a fun way to test your celebrity spotting skills. You’ll be presented with a number of photos of celebrities, but the shot is zoomed in on a specific, small portion of their face, rendering them nearly unrecognizable. But if you’re good enough, you’ll be able to put together little details of the face, along with clues from a collection of letters below that contains their name. It’s as simple as that. No sign up. No rules. Just download and get started on seeing how well you really know your celebrities. It even has a social feature where you can ask your Twitter and Facebook friends for help if you get stuck, which is a nice little added touch. If you think you know your celebrities, then test yo self before you wreck yo self with In Yo Face.

]]> In the run up to this year’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference, most of the talk about what iOS 7 might bring has revolved around the flatter UI Jony Ive is said to prefer. Obviously, it will be a big deal if iOS looks drastically different that what we’re used to, but that’s to say nothing of the actual features Apple may be planning to add. Like, how about support for more third-party social networks such as Vimeo and Flickr? Today’s banter points to iPhone getting more socially plugged in through the integration of such video and photo networks.

os-x-integration

If you’ve leveraged such networks as Facebook and Twitter within iOS 6, then you already know how this will likely work—by signing in just once, we’d be able to get full sharing access for our video and photos in places other than YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Messages, Photo Stream, etc… Bringing in Vimeo and Flickr would certainly be valuable (especially after Flickr’s recent upgrades), but we’re mostly interested in how this might indicate Apple’s plans to become more inclusive of third-party networks in the future.

Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac had this to say when dropping the rumor:

“In the upcoming overhaul of its iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch operating system, iOS 7, Apple plans to include an increased presence of third-party social networks, including Flickr and Vimeo, according to a person familiar with the software… Both Flickr and Vimeo will now also be integrated deeply into the new operating system, so users will be able to sign into the respective networks via iOS 7’s built-in Settings application. Like with iOS’s Facebook and Twitter ties, Apple customers will be able to log-in one time into each social network and have full sharing access.”

Would you take advantage of Vimeo and Flickr if they make their way into the final cut of iOS 7? Our could Apple do better by picking other networks?

]]> Dubais-Burj-Al-Arab-Gold-iPadThe blinged-out iOS device is nothing new. You’ll remember seeing such  rarities as diamond-covered iPhones and iPads in the past, some of which carry price tags upwards of $8 million… The latest goodie for those who crave opulent iOS gadgets comes to us from Gold & Co., and it’s a 24-carat gold-plated iPad.

Actually, make that gold-plated iPad(s). The extravagant tablets are being featured at Dubai’s Burj Al Arab—the luxury hotel that stands on an artificial island and is often called “the world’s only 7-star hotel.” It’s also shaped like a sail, if that jogs your memory.

According to reports (I haven’t actually been there), the gold-plated iPads are being offered to in-house guests—and in a way, you’d expect nothing less when getting a room for the night can cost anywhere from $1,500 to $19,000. The iPads—which, when used by in-house guests, feature info about Burj Al Arab’s restaurants and services—are also available for purchase in the boutique, though unfortunately we haven’t heard what it costs.

Burj_Al_Arab_3So there it is—just another reason to finally make that trip to Dubai and stay at the swankiest hotel imaginable. Here’s what Gold & Co. has to say about making the gold-plated iPads:

“The 24-carat Gold Plated iPad is the ultimate in luxury accessories so it’s only natural that we wanted it to be paired with Burj Al Arab, the world’s finest hotel. The symmetry is obvious: Both the Gold Plated iPad and the hotel are unique in terms of quality, mystique and dare we say: Decadence. Quite simply, there is no hotel in the world like the Burj Al Arab and there is no accessory quite like the gold plated iPad. The multi layer 24 carat gold plating breezes past all known quality control checks, just like the Burj Al Arab and soon, we envisage wealthy individuals all over the world clamoring to get their hands on our world class product.”
