Want a Remote Control Ball you can control from your iPhone or iPad ?

Introducing Sphero is the first robotic ball gaming device that you control with a tilt, touch, or swing from your smartphone or tablet.

If you have a keen eye and hand for drawing, you’ll have at least thought of turning your drawings into animations. What if the sweet can I designed could purr? What if my troll can smash that rock with its fists? Yeah, you have. I couldn’t draw to save my life, but the thought of animations surely crossed my mind. Sadly, an animator’s toolbox includes a bunch of tools not at everyone’s disposal. But with the help of Animation Desk, you can quickly turn your iPad into a full-featured animator’s work station and breath life into your creative drawings. The app is available in the AppStore for your iPad devices.

Animation Desk for iPad provides you with a drawing environment where your main focus is creating beautiful static images and then, with the help of the app, combining them into a kick-ass animation. The app features a multitude of tools that [...]

I don’t know about you, but around the end of the year, I feel a lot of pressure to get everything in order. It’s almost like the world will end on the 31st of December (oh, wait, that was on the 21st). You scramble left and right to put the final touches on your projects. If you’re self-employed, you need to get your financing in order. It seems to me that the holiday season should be more about relaxation, spending time with the family or just sitting on your butt all day long playing on your iPhone, iPad, PlayStation or what have you. If the holiday season frustrates you, then perhaps you need a way to get happy during these “stressful” times. This is where Get Happy comes in as a paid download from the AppStore.

The iPhone app was designed by a practicing clinical psychologist to deliver simple daily tips to its [...]

Mystery games usually require a lot of thinking. Both for the creators’ part and yours, as a player. There are all sorts of complicated puzzles involved, and the story line is so encrypted it just gets you hooked. So hooked that you no longer feel like you’re playing a game. You’re actually finding a way out of a mysterious castle, dungeon or whatever mystical setting, while discovering deep buried secrets. Playing a mystery game gives you a unique sensation. And that’s exactly how playing The Room feels like.

The Room is the classic mystery game. The story unravels as you play, and what seemed like total nonsense in the beginning becomes crystal clear as you solve the puzzles. Every object, word, letter, drawing, everything is more than meets the eye. And, of course, there’s a dark location involved, filled with unsolved mysteries [...]

After reviewing a truly terrific app that Apple, with good reasons, dubbed App of the Year on the iPhone, it’s time to take a look at Apple’s pick of Game of the Year 2012. This is Rayman Jungle Run and, although it’s not my pick for game of the year, fans of the legendary platforming hero will rejoice to see Rayman on their iOS device.

At its core, Rayman Jungle Run is a remake, for lack of a better word, of the console game Rayman Origins, available from Ubisoft. The iOS adventure spans across 40 levels and it’s continuous runnning, jumping, flying and puching experience. It’s fast paced and it’s beautifully designed for the retina displays in your pockets.

In the game, you play Rayman, a funny looking character that kinda looks like Woody the woodpecker, as he dashes into small bite-sized levels divided into four groups [...]

The night before Christmas is definitely the most magical night of the year. The tree with its beautiful ornaments, all those delicious dishes cooking in the oven, the milk and cookies, the smell of apple and cinnamon, the decorations, the carols…all these things make Christmas look like a fairytale.

Now available in the AppStore, as part of Blackfish Children’s Books.

‘Twas The Night Before Christmas is a magical story your child can now enjoy even more than before. Because, with this e-book, the graphics are better, the story is more interactive, and the beautiful message of the story isn’t the only thing your child is going to remember after reading [...]

Years from now, I think people will no longer use actual notebooks, sketch books or planners. Because who needs to carry all these things around when you have all sorts of apps that help you write down just what you need, when you need it, with a single tap on your light, beautifully designed iPhone or iPad. Can’t think of any of these apps that could make your life easier? Well, then let me introduce you to Paper. Apple’s pick for 2012’s iPad app of the year, available on the AppStore, of course.
