Yep, sure can. It’s quite straightforward, but if you have trouble just ask.

Isn’t that what we’re all here for? :slight_smile:

There is something viscerally enjoyable about Fruit Ninja. Don’t expect another Angry Birds, but it is a fun casual game nonetheless. Classic, Arcade and Zen modes for singleplayer, and two multiplayer gametypes. Slice, slice, slice!

I am waiting with little patience for a new Jailbreak so I can JB my iPad. I have the wifi model, and would very much like both the BTstack that allows it to use a Bluetooth GPS as well as the app that allows it to use Retina versions of apps when an iPad version is unavailable.

Oh yeah baby. I feel like a 21st Century Gallagher.

I’ve been getting down with the photography apps lately. Here’s my take on several noteworthy ones:

Perfect Photo: for me, the two big wins here are “Spot Healing” (touch-up tool) and “Red Eye Reduction”. Worth the $0.99 for those two alone.

Photo Studio: tons of filters and effects. You can combine several and save them as presets, and you can save favorites to more quickly find those you use more often. Note: huge application, may require you to kill other apps to run, even on an iPhone 4.

Photo Wizard: decent selection of filters and effects, but the big deal is the masking tool. With this, you can mask a section, then apply filters/effects either to the rest of the photo or only the masked section. Works pretty well, too!

Camera Genius: quick and dirty editing, filters and effects are not as plentiful as Photo Studio or Photo Wizard, but they are effective. Developer is attentive to emails and posts frequent updates/improvements.

Toon Paint: OMG, this is fun. Either choose a pic from your photo album or take a pic and wa-la! You have a basic cartoon that you can tweak and “color by numbers”! Very slick stuff going on under the hood to provide this much fun. Warning: very addictive!

Diptic: Neat way to import up to four photos and display them in a framework within a cube. You can change the color of the boundries, contrast, brightness, saturation and can pinch, pan, rotate and zoom the images. It does one basic thing, but very well.

Photogene: good basic image editing program, big feature being the ability to save in a number of different resolutions. Solid from top to bottom.

This is a small thing, but I noticed I can’t view movies in portrait mode my iPod app except when they’re in a playlist. What gives? :confused:

Do you have rotation-lock turned on? Double tap the joke button, swipe the bottom from left to right to show music controls, and check the button on the left. If it it a circle with arrow, then that’s not the problem. If it has a padlock, then tap it and try the movie again.

It’s unlocked. You try watching a video in portrait, then watch a video within a playlist in portrait.

I have an iPod Touch 4th gen now. Thanks for all of the chatter about cool apps and the like, everyone!

I just ordered my iPhone yesterday on verizon! Sooooo excited :smiley: I’ve been kinda following this thread but now I’m planning to go back and figure out all the fun things that I want to add to my life, well, through my phone.

Welcome to the club, and enjoy! The iPhone is a lot of fun, and is incredibly useful for a wide variety of things.

First and foremost, of course, is three-starring all of the Angry Birds levels! :wink:

Haha. Yes! I love Angry Birds :smiley:

What’s better than an iPhone? An iPhone in space.

If you think AT&T’s international roaming is expensive…

:wink:

Wow, that was pretty freakin incredible!

Angry Birds, by likability.

I have no problems with this ranking.

Came across this game on Reddit: Foursight

It’s pretty clever, and oddly addictive. The instructions seem convoluted, but if you mess around with a game you’ll get it pretty quick. Essentially you have to play a white piece before you can play a game piece on top of it. Oh, and you and your opponent have half of each others pieces to play. Get three or four in a row to score.

Currently it’s one player on the iPhone, although bluetooth and internet head-to-head is coming. On the iPad you have the option of using it like a boardgame for two player action.

White bomb bird gets a raw deal, IMHO. :eyebrow:

Hrm. Yeah, I’d probably swap that one with the MIRV bird.
