Epic Games' Infinity Blade will be hitting the App store on December 9th

Infinity_blade_16-660x439

Are you guys ready to feast your eyes with the 'eye-popping' new game by Epic Games, Infinity Blade? Well you better be ready, as IntoMobile reports that the game will be hitting the App store on December 9th. Yes this iOS-only game will be released in less than two weeks from today.

If you wanna know why there has been so much talk about this game, well here's two reasons, Epic Games & Unreal Engine. The game will look extremely gorgeous, if you think Rage HD is beautiful, then I think this will top that. This is probably because the game is powered by Epic Games' mobile version of Unreal Engine. Yea you read that right, thats the same engine that Epic's uses to create Gears of War series, only this time its the mobile version. Don't get fooled by the 'mobile' title, because it looks really really gorgeous. Check this out if you don't believe me (crank it to HD version)

Infinity Blade will be available for $5.99 and it also supports both the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.

Apple relaxes iOS development policies, publishes App Store guidelines

Apple has made a dramatic change in attitude towards third party development tools and at the same time, give app developers the clarity that they need to confidently publish apps on the App Store. For developers, Christmas has come early this year.

Apple today released a statement to declare that it has made changes to its Developer Program License to allow other development tools to be used on to create iOS apps. 

In particular, we are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code. This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need.

Earlier this year Apple began to restrict iOS developers to use only authorized tools and said that alternative methods are detrimental to the quality of applications being produced. While this is  certainly debatable, Apple has been sticking to its guns and defending its decisions at any possible opportunity.

With the new policies being put in place, developers are now free to create apps for the iOS using tools they see fit as long as they do not use private programming interfaces. 

Some are saying that the door has been opened for Adobe's Flash CS5 to be used to create iPhone apps although that remains to be seen. This decision does not mean iOS devices will run Flash.

The App Store Review Guidelines has also been published containing very clear, concise, and  straightforward language with regards to what can be expected from developers when submitting applications for review.

Apple released the guidelines specifically for registered developers but Engadget has made it available to anyone who wishes to read through the rather comical document. it is surprisingly easy to understand.

Some of the gems in the document include:

We have over 250,000 apps in the App Store. We don't need any more Fart apps

If your app is rejected, we have a Review Board that you can appeal to. If you run to the press and trash us, it never helps.

Apple showcases iOS 4 apps in App Store Super Room

Ios_4_featured_apps


Apple has highlighted a number of applications that have been optimized for iOS 4. Up until this point, it was a bit difficult to find out which ones have been updated to take advantage of the new features in iOS 4, such as high resolution display and task switching. 

This compendium may not be an exhaustive list but it serves as a starting point for those wanting to check out iOS 4 capabilities with the apps they regularly use. On the Indonesian App Store, there are 27 apps listed at the moment, not including nine that are not available locally such as Loopt, Pandora, iMovie, NPR Music, and a few others. Apple calls the selection the iOS Super Room.

Among the early selected apps are Antimatter, Bejeweled 2, Brushes, Canabalt, DropBox, Eliminate: Gun Range, Flight Control, GodFinger, Plants vs Zombies, Real Racing, Sketchbook Mobile and Twitter.

We expect Apple to expand this list as the number of quality iOS 4 optimized apps increase.

Tumblr iPhone app updated to support iOS 4

Tumblr updated its iPhone app today. Version 1.2 carried plenty of changes and a redesign of its interface. No longer you're faced with three tabs, it's now just two, Post and Dashboard. Settings tab has been relegated to a tiny button on the top right of the screen.

It now supports native reblogging, click through URLs from photo and link posts, has German localization and has been made compatible for iOS 4 task switching.

Send to Twitter still unfortunately does not let you specify the content of the tweet which means tweets from Tumblr look like unfinished thoughts instead of links to blog posts.

iMovie for iPhone

Imovie

Along with iPhone 4, Apple introduced iMovie for iPhone at the Worldwide Developer Conference. Mac users are already familiar with what iMovie is and what it does but others may not be. With an iPhone that is capable of shooting 720p high definition video, it makes complete sense to have a fully functional video editing software that lets you produce a proper movie on the go.

iMovie for iPhone lets you combine newly recorded videos as well as existing clips on the Camera Roll with your own photos and music right on the timeline. It works just like iMovie on the Mac, which may lead one to think that iMovie for Mac was designed with a touch interface in mind.
 
Moving all those clips, markers, transitions, titles, themes, and effects with a mouse pointer doesn't seem to be all that natural after you've used it for a while. On the iPhone however, they seem to feel at home, at least according to the on stage demo and the reactions of those who have tried the app at the conference.
 
There's a good chance that should this app become popular, we'll see more iMovie productions created on the iPhone than on the Mac.

Seesmic for iPhone finally out on the App Store

The big eyed raccoon has finally made it to the iPhone. Seesmic today has released Seesmic for iPhone, its multi-service social networking client which hooks up to Facebook, Twitter and Ping.FM. The long awaited app is available for free from the App Store and weighs in at a meager 1.6 MB.

Seesmic for iPhone presents itself as a panel-based application which lets you assign multiple Twitter accounts, searches, lists, trending topics, Facebook account, and other services on individual panels. Similar to the iPhone's own home screen, Seesmic lets you add panel after panel and will add pages as it sees fit. The panels can be rearranged and removed by holding down on one panel just like managing iPhone apps. On each timeline, the panels are represented on the top left with an identifying icon for easy switching between the views.

This app features Evernote integration to save tweets, notes, and links to the online storage service. If you have Evernote installed, it will immediately send the selected tweet to that app. Unfortunately this means quitting Seesmic. There doesn't seem to be support for Instapaper, however.

If you have multiple accounts setup on Seesmic you can send your update simultaneously even across different services. Official and unofficial retweets are supported and there's an option to choose between using RT and via for the old retweet method from the app's settings which is located in the Settings app.

Twitter for iPhone

The highly anticipated Twitter for iPhone is finally live on the App Store taking the place previously occupied by the award-winning Tweetie for iPhone.

Existing Tweetie 2 users will see the new app as an update, this means it will replace Tweetie 2 but with a new, blue icon. Those who still have Tweetie 1 will continue to be able to use it since Tweetie 1 and Tweetie 2 are separate apps.

With Twitter for iPhone, Loren Brichter and his team have maintained much of what made Tweetie such a terrific app to use and built on it to completely avoid the need to ever go to the Twitter website when you have your iPhone with you.

The app allows anyone to use Twitter even if they have no interest in creating a Twitter account. Users will be able to check out the trending topics, read tweets by popular users, see what people are saying nearby, all without having to create an account. Should you be interested in joining the twittering masses, you can create an account right from the app.

The app resembles Tweetie 2 so much, existing users should have only a few adjustments to get used to it as a few things have been reworked from Tweetie 2, as expected from an update.

The official retweet function has moved from the "more" button to having its own place underneath each tweet. The function area has been slightly reworked and a few action buttons reorganized.

The map area for geotagged tweets have been enlarged to fit the width of the screen and geotagged tweets will also show the actual location name if the area is under the supported list. At the moment only a few cities in the US has it.

Username search has been lumped together under Search, hashtags can be filtered out of the trending list (OHYEAH!), and there's no more RT or /via or quotes tweets.

Just on that last point, there's a Quote Tweet button under the "more" option but it actually puts the tweet as an actual quote, "like this."

Search has been tweaked to reflect the most retweeted tweet and includes the number of retweets on each tweet. Note that this counts only for official retweets.

The app is also fast. Loading tweets is much faster compared to Tweetie especially on slow EDGE connections which is great since networks can't seem to maintain stable 3G connections. Saving photos is really fast, and more importantly it seems that caching tweets work much better as it managed to save tweet positions on multiple accounts after a relaunch.

Speaking of accounts, it's probably the bigest gripe because existing users have to reenter their account details. For someone who runs multiple accounts, this can be tedious. It was probably done in purpose to show everyone that there's something markedly different about Twitter for iPhone. Also, it hasn't yet use OAuth which means the app will definitely see an update before the end of June when Twitter shuts down non-OAuth access. What this means is no more entering username and passwords to sign in to Twitter outside of their oen website.

Accessing Settings and Accounts have been moved to the Search tab on the right rather than directly to the left of the timeline. As far as user interface conventions go, this change is really jarring but perhaps only those pedantic enough about it will be annoyed by it.

Overall, Twitter for iPhone is clearly the best Twitter app on the App Store for the majority of Twitter users. Twitter has definitely made the right move in purchasing Atebits and bringing Loren Brichter on board. Best thing about the app as far as consumers are concerned, it's free.

Twitter for iPhone about to go live?

Yesterday, Atebits' Tweetie for iPhone suddenly disappeared from the App Store which can only mean one thing, Twitter for iPhone is about to go live. A few weeks ago Atebits released n update to Tweetie which includes a notice about the change.

When pulling down the timeline to refresh its content, you'd see a slot machine interface that pops up and displays advertising saying Tweetie for iPhone will soon became Twitter for iPhone. of course, this was by no means a surprise, as Twitter a few weeks ago had bought Atebits and announced that Loren Brichter, the company's principal, will be joining them to develop mobile apps for Twitter. They also announced that Tweetie for iPhone will be renamed and become their official client for iPhone. an iPad version is also in the works.

As Twitter for iPhone is free, it will also be a free update to existing Tweetie owners.
