We Rule iPhone App is Way More Badass Than Farmville [3 comments]

Jill

Yes, jilici0us is my username.

I am obsessed with this game.

I got pretty tired of Farmville after reaching a level 40 and realizing that I was spending way too much time harvesting, fertalizing, plowing, planting and decorating. Who the hell wants a merry-go-round and a full band stage on their farm anyways? I thought I was done, completely finished with all app games, that is, until I discovered “We Rule.”

We Rule is a lot like Farmville in the sense that you make money by harvesting crops, however it doesn’t take you 2 hours and you don’t have to use 3 different tractors with an annoyingly limited gas supply!

In We Rule, you get to create & rule your own kingdom, buy and sell stuff from medieval shops, and decorate and build your own village. So it’s a lot more bad ass than having some rinky-dink old MacDonald farm and conveniently enough, it’s all on your iPhone!

The game is free, however, there is “Mojo” which like FVcash, you can purchase with real life $$. I don’t recommend spending any money on Mojo. Patience is a virtue and you will get Mojo each time you level up.

Try it out & play it!

Some Idiot Left The New iPhone 4G Model at a Bar [6 comments]

Jill

The rumored iPhone 4G has been talked about for months and months, but we’ve never heard much about it …until now!

Some idiot apparently left the unreleased brand-spanking-new iPhone 4G model at a bar in Redwood City, California. If hes not kicking himself in the ass right now, I bet Apple is!

What do you think of the iPhone 4G’s sleek look?

Things I like about the iPhone OS 4 [4 comments]

Jill

Coming Summer 2010 is the new iPhone OS 4!

This system has some pretty cool features, some of which I’m really looking forward to trying for myself when it comes out! (*Nudge!* I’ve officially decided to dive into the Smartphone pool and buy an iPhone!)

First things first, MULTITASKING!

Holy Slackersville, finally! (Sadly that’s not a real town.. I checked.)
Steve Jobs addressed this addition by saying “Now we weren’t the first to this party, but we’re gonna be the best!” (Steve Jobs obviously is big on parties!)

The multitasking platform will look like this: (Photos via Engaget’s liveblog)

Pretty non informative. I’ll wait to see a video before giving my say on the matter.

Also something huge to look forward to is Game Center! Game Center sounds a lot like Xbox live in the sense that it will have a friend network with achievements, interactive gameplay and leaderboards!

Now, about my decision to purchase an iPhone..

I’ve been an old skool kid. I’ve never had a cellphone with any data plan or had any form of mobile internet ever. Heck, I just got my first iPod last Christmas! I’d say that I’m definitely behind the times and the only thing I like about my Blackberry Pearl 8100 is the R2D2 sticker I put on the back of it.

Now with Game Center and Multitasking finally available to the iPhone, I’m excited to finally be “in” with all the cools kids and their smart phones soon! Now I’ll just need some recommendations on what apps & games I should get!

Apple iPhone OS 4 Reveal Tomorrow! (April 8th) [1 comment]

What the heck?!?! ..So soon?
I wonder what this model must have in store! It’s got to be good if they are purposefully deterring the spotlight away from their iPad so quickly!

My Great Big iPad Adventure! [2 comments]

Jill

So yesterday (& this morning) I got to toy around with an iPad. Despite it’s popularity for being such an “EPIC FAIL!” and the cause for an internet joke phenomenon, I must say that I was thoroughly impressed! The iPad has proved to me that it’s convenient, useful and extremely good for quality entertainment.

*I’m on an iPad!…* Continue Reading…

To iPad or not to iPad?! That is the question! [2 comments]

Tomorrow is the final long awaited release of Apple’s infamous iPad.

Is it the EPIC FAIL everyones been so chatty about, or is it really the start of a ‘new tech revolution?’ It is time to stop the jokes (..I know, I know, the Hitler one is pretty damn funny..) and really take a second to analyze,

‘Is iPad good for me?’

In a previous post, (as well as a video blog I posted up on our YouTube channel), I talked about my disappointment with Apple’s reveal of their new tablet. Now recently, I’ve began thinking about what I *really* want out of the tablet, as opposed to being a pessimist only thinking about all the things it doesn’t have..

..I think this pretty much sums up what everyone felt after the reveal. Yes, the iPad is basically a large iPod Touch. No, it does not have multitasking and I know, it doesn’t even have a camera! (Note: The iPad 2.0 will more than likely come with one.)

I realize that this kind of disappointment is justifiable being that some of these quirks possibly could have been resolved by Apple’s tech team, but let’s face it, Apple was just not aiming to create a miniature laptop!

I’ve been taking into consideration all the details that would be useful to me and all the things that I want out of a tablet.
First and foremost: I already have an iPod Touch. Trying to use it with the idea of it being a mini tablet is excruciatingly irritating. Just the fact of its size being so small is let alone a good enough reason to give up trying anything with it. I can barely read and respond to an email in 30 minutes, let alone accomplish any real sizable work while being away from my computer. Secondly, I want a virtual planner thats convenient, organized and will let me do my every days scheduling, planning and to do lists without having to spend an eternity typing out each little note. Using my iPod Touch for this is like that one lady trying to fit that pizza into her toaster on that Hot Pocket commercial, (*which I can’t find a video of, dang it!*), it just doesn’t make any damn sense! It takes an extremely long time, by the time I’m done typing my first note, I’ve forgotten the other 3 things I needed to buy at the grocery store.

Lastly, a HUUGE factor for me is applications and games. Games, games, *ohhh the games!* The games that will be developed for this thing will be incredible. Imagine games like World of Goo or even Machinarium and not to mention boardgames! Once developers get their trains a-chuggin, I know we’re in store for some sweet, savory goodness.

CONCLUSION: I say that if I can have a portable device thats roughly the size of my planner, thats great for surfing the internet, checking my email, reading my (few but cherished) favorite books, plays my favorite movies in good quality & on a nice-sized screen, is great tool for email, facebook & twitter AND lets me play some amazing games, I say I’m in.

Go ahead, give me your backlash but know that once the iPad 2.0 comes out, I’ll be far too entertained to care or listen to anything you have to say!
