Download Temple Run
Cross Indiana Jones with Crash Bandicoot and you get winters most addictive word-of-mouth ISO hit
Run for your life!
The addictive mega-hit Temple Run is now out for Android! All your friends are playing it – can you beat their high scores?!
You’ve stolen the cursed idol from the temple, and now you have to run for your life to escape the Evil Demon Monkeys nipping at your heels. Test your reflexes as you race down ancient temple walls and along sheer cliffs. Swipe to turn, jump and slide to avoid obstacles, collect coins and buy power ups, unlock new characters, and see how far you can run!
The beauty off app gaming is its democracy, Unlike the month of pre-hype you get with full fat , most IOS and android games reach you on the same day as The Media, as so you have the much larger hand in their fates. Temple Run is a case point. Launched last August to minimal fanfare. Harbor Master maker Imagi Studio’s fiendishly addictive touchscreen threat errupted in the wake of christmas - the world seemingly turning to their mobile in unison to zone out unwanted festive visitor – and its belated rise shows no sign of stopping.
A neat, Crush Bandicoot – referencing 3D twist on the “how far you can sprint” ? template jetpack joyride , the games recreate the opening of Raiders Of The Lost Ark - with enough change to avoid legal issue, of course. Choose the adventurer’s route with directional swipe as he legs into the screen through fantastically rendered ruins and undergrowth, collecting jems and fleeing demonic monkeys. Hours and day slip past in an endless quest to top your score and just when you think it cant get any better , up pops and unlockable character that look suspiciously like certain archaeologist.

Games : Great Little War Games
A game that has recently caught my eye in our forums is Great Little War Game from Rubicon Development. It’s a turn-based strategy game similar to Advance Wars or iOS’s own Mecho Wars [99¢], but with a few unique twists that the developers hope set it apart from the rest. As an example, line of sight and terrain will factor into the gameplay, so you’ll be able to hide behind barriers or use elevation to gain increased attack range.
What really stands out about Great Little War Game is the graphical style which has a cartoonish look and uses 3D models for characters and vehicles. You can get a great feel for the game by checking out the following trailer:
Great Little War Game is in the final stages of beta testing, and barring any sort of huge issue will be submitted to Apple sometime this week. There is an active thread in our forums with a lot of additional information, and Rubicon is actively discussing the game there with our members.
Great Little War Game will launch for 99¢ for 3rd generation and above iPhone and iPod touches, and $2.99 for the iPad version. It will contain a 20 mission campaign with an additional 10 mission level pack that can be purchased as a 99¢ IAP. Unfortunately no skirmish or multiplayer modes will make it into the initial release, though they remain options for future versions of the game if sales are strong enough. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for Great Little War Game to hit the App Store in the next several weeks.
Available Device : Android, Ipod, Iphone, Ipad

7 Great iPhone To Do Apps
Managing a to do list can be a real pain, especially if you’re still using old fashioned pen and paper. Fortunately, there are a variety of to do list apps for iPhone that make this process much easier. With alerts, notifications, and the ability to manage multiple tasks, these iPhone to do apps will keep your life organized.
1. Awesome Note (+ToDo)
- Awesome Note +ToDo (US$3.99) is a full-featured list app that offers plenty of customization options. Managing your tasks and to do lists is easy, and the app syncs with Evernote and Google Docs. I also love the monthly calendar view for getting an overview of your tasks for the coming weeks. Since Awesome Note has so many features, it can take some time to figure out how everything works. Overall rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
2. 2Do
- Some people may balk at the price tag, but the 2Do list app (US$6.99) is packed with features and has a ton of functionality. You can assign actions to each task — like phone calls or emails — and the app syncs with your contact list. The tabbed interface is easy to navigate, and 2Do also brings voice recordings, alerts, Twitter integration, and a wide array of customizable features. It can be a bit confusing to use at first, but the 2Do list app for iPhone is a clear winner. Overall rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
3. Wunderlist Task Manager
- Wunderlist (Free) is a stylish to do list app that syncs with a corresponding desktop client for Macs and PCs. Outstanding tasks are clearly noted, and priority items can be starred for easy access later. Although a monthly calendar view would be helpful, the Wunderlist app displays upcoming tasks in various ways. Overall rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars.
4. ToodleDo
- The ToodleDo app (US$2.99) has a simple interface that makes it easy to add new tasks to your to do list. For each task, you can set priorities and due dates, assign it to folder, schedule reminders, and more. Folders are especially helpful for keeping tasks organized. However, the ToodleDo list app has a confusing priority system, and I wish it would set app badges as a default. Overall rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars.
5. TeuxDeux
-
The TeuxDeux app ($2.99) is an iPhone-specific version of the web app of the same name. Its stylish, spare interface places emphasis squarely on your to-dos, but doesn’t offer many features besides syncing with the web app and rearranging items. Its productivity focus will be perfect for some users, but others will require more features to get things done. Overall rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
6. Orchestra
-
Orchestra (free) is a decent to-do list app for an individual. Put it in the hands of a group, though, and it becomes something special. That’s because Orchestra allows you to assign tasks to anyone with an email address or phone number (ideally they’ll also have the Orchestra app, but it’s not required). Users can see who’s taken on what task, when they’ve done it, and chat about it all via the app. While it’s missing some important features, and takes an unorthodox approach to deadlines, some people will love it. Overall rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars.
7. Air To-Do
- Air To-Do (US$1.99) is very easy to use, and I love that the app is integrated with Facebook, Twitter, and email. However, the Air To-Do list app is much simpler than its competitors. You can only create one to do list (although with unlimited tasks), so Air To-Do is worth a look if you only have a few tasks to complete each day. Overall rating: 3 out of 5 stars.

Foursquare Revamps Website To Support Large-Screened iPad Like Devices
Foursquare initially found its niche with the location-based ‘check-in’ model, allowing users to see friends’ hunts, whilst sharing their own locations and places visited. Facebook, with all its might and hundreds of millions of active users, tried and failed with its own integrated version, which has since been scrapped.
Nowadays, Foursquare packs a whole bunch of other great social features, and despite only having 15 million or so users – comparatively minute versus other prominent social networks – it seems to be growing in popularity at a steady pace.
Placing a strong emphasis on helping users discover activities occurring in their locale, Foursquare just updated its website, which is now optimized for use on large screen devices such as laptops, netbooks and tablet devices like the iPad.
It now pinpoints a user’s location, incorporating color coding making it easy to identify interesting goings-on around said area. Trending places are in a yellow font, places on a user’s Foursquare Lists are green, popular places blue, and finally, any places offering Specials or certain limited offers are in orange.
Another useful feature is time-based suggestions. When looking for somewhere to eat, there are many applications to choose from which show location, parking, opening hours and ratings. Taking a different approach, Foursquare will smartly source restaurants relevant to the current time. So if it’s 9am, they’ll point you to a cafe or coffee shop as opposed to a steakhouse, and vice-versa. It’s not purely limited to dining, and will, using initiative, decide which activities are more suited for, say, early in the day, and those that are more often than not afternoon or evening activities.
Close to one million people check Foursquare’s site out on a daily basis, so images and tips will be sharper and more informative.
Trying to deviate somewhat from its very smartphone-orientated service, Foursquare appears to be making that ‘big push’ in order to stand up and be counted. Near-on every web-based company would like a slice of the social pie, and having seen off Facebook, it’s time that Foursquare now went on the offensive – which it appears to be doing.
Head over there now and have a look
– you might even find yourself checking-in!

Upgrade To IOS5 In Five Steps
We’ve been putting the iOS 5 beta through its paces for the past few months. But today, the final release is available to all. Any device capable of running iOS 4 is eligible for an upgrade to iOS 5 — including the iPhone 3GS and third-generation iPod Touch.
If you’ve been waiting for improved notifications and iMessage goodness, this is your chance to see what you’ve been missing. But more important, here’s how to make your upgrade go smoothly the first time.
1. Software Update
Before you begin, run software update on either your Mac or Windows PC. You’ll need iTunes version 10.5 to make the latest iOS magic happen, and the upgrade won’t work without it. While you’re at it, feel free to update your apps as well. While you can certainly do so post-upgrade, you’ll avoid any unforeseen compatibility problems by doing it before.
2. Make a Backup
To start, you’ll want to perform a manual backup of your current iOS device. If you follow just one of our suggestions, it better be this. Should something go wrong during the upgrade process, you’ll have a backup of settings and files to fall back on in a pinch.
Of course, the backup process is a long one to begin with, but there are ways to decrease the amount of time it takes. Pictures and videos stored in your camera roll are often the biggest culprits, so feel free to transfer these yourself. Removing particularly large files or unneeded apps beforehand is another smart practice. But keep in mind there’s only so much you can do. From Safari browsing history to MMS attachements, iTunes simply has a lot of data to back up. Best let this process complete while you’re out to lunch.
Finally, phone calls and text messages have the nasty habit of interrupting lengthy backups just as they near completion. To prevent upgrade issues and untimely snags, try placing your device in Airplane mode before you begin. Or better yet, remove your SIM card completely, if possible.
3. Encrypt Your Backup
You’ll also have the ability to encrypt your iOS backup at this time. This option is visible under the “Backup” header when your device is plugged into iTunes. While an encrypted backup does take longer, you get the added benefit of having your various account and app passwords backed up as well. This might be useful for some, as you won’t have to re-enter your passwords after your device has been restored.
Also, it’s worth pointing out that backups can build up over time — and they do take up a considerable amount of space. If you want to remove past archives of your old iOS devices, and free up a couple gigabytes of space, you can find them in the following folder:
Mac: /Users/Tested/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows: C:\Users\Tested\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
4. Save Your Hashes
This next step is crucial for jailbreak users. If you haven’t already, back up your blobs. If you have no clue what that means, read this post from the iPhone Dev-Team. Simply put, blobs, or signature hashes, allow iOS users to downgrade to previous firmware versions where jailbreaking is still possible. However, it’s suspected this method of downgrading will no longer be possible post-iOS 5.
In other words, if you’re interested in jail breaking, or retaining the ability to downgrade to iOS 4, download a copy of TinyUmbrella and backup your blobs.
5. Update to iOS 5
Finally, there is the iOS 5 upgrade process itself. In most cases, the actual install should be as simple as connecting your device and allowing iTunes to do its thing. This will perform what’s called an in-place upgrade to iOS 5 — in other words, preserving all your file, settings and content as is. However, you also have the option of performing a restore upgrade. This route will wipe your device clean, allowing you to start your iOS 5 experience from scratch.
Of course, you can also do this process manually as well. By clicking Upgrade or Restore with the Option key held down (or ctrl for Windows users), you have the option of selecting a firmware file (*.ipsw) of your choosing. In most cases this won’t be necessary, but it can be useful for performing firmware updates from multiple computers without having to download iOS 5 on each.
