iPhone 4 And iPad Commercials – If Apple Cut The Bullshit [Videos]

second-camera-svp A couple of “banned” iPhone 4 / iPad promos are circulating the Internet … dry humor at its best – funnier than a fart in a space suit. We love the 2nd Camera Senior Vice President and a few of our favorite lines include …

iPhone 4:
”It’s going to change the way we think about phone sex”
”We invented a new metal”
”The best way to reinvent a product is to add a second camera”

iPad:
”The camera didn’t fit”
”You can’t take photos with the iPad, but you can view and share the shit out of them”

Taito Corp. Launches Seven Space Invaders-Themed Utility Apps, All Free

Gotta love TAITO Corporation! Despite these folks being so old that they fart dust … they have fully embraced the iPhone platform.

Check this … TAITO, the original sellers of Space Invaders back in 1978, have brought their retro magic to the iPhone. No were not talking about  the excellent Space Invaders iPhone games … we’re talking FREE Space Invaders-themed utility apps. Think calculator, flashlight, battery meter, etc. … those boring apps that get released by the thousands and can be described as “same shit, different day”. However today the shit is different … the clever peeps at TAITO have brilliantly extended their Space Invaders brand to FREE line of utility apps …

SI-Timer

SI-Flashlight

SI-Clock

Space Invaders Clock [iTunes FREE] – each minute an alien is blown up
Space Invaders Battery Meter [iTunes FREE]
Space Invaders Business Card [iTunes FREE]
Space Invaders Calculator [iTunes FREE]
Space Invaders Flashlight [iTunes FREE]
Space Invaders Memory Status [iTunes FREE]
Space Invaders Timer [iTunes FREE] – perfect for cooking ramen    

SI-Calculator  SI-Clock-2

Now these apps aren’t exactly the greatest thing since Shazam or Tap Tap Revenge, however considering the FREE price tag and the uber-cool Space Invaders theme, they are all good (although the clock would be even sicker if TAITO updated it with an alarm).

Of the seven apps, our favorite is the Space Invaders Business Card which allows users to make custom cards. These business cards can then be exchanged with other users via a Bluetooth connection … which is cool, but we’d love to see some Bump technology integrated into the app for a more universal transfer method.

SI-Business-Card

SI-Exchange

Once you collect contact information from other Space Invaders Business Card users, phone calls and emails can be launched directly from within the app … and when you tap on a Twitter name, the app displays the contact’s most recent tweets.

SI-KRAPPS

So hopefully these Space Invader utility apps are a start of a new trend. The App Store sure could use some more wicked cross-over apps like Doodle Jump Tip Calculator or Pocket God Sex Positions … we would love to see those cute little pygmies demonstrate oral, face to face and rear entry positions.

Apps Gone FREE Or On Big Sale – World Cup Soccer Edition

soccerfan-butt With the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa upon us (yeah it’s a mouthful – but that’s the official name), developers are taking advantage of the worldwide insanity to promote their soccer / football related iPhone apps. There are a ton of price drop and some awesome savings to be had. We spent our entire Friday night (we know … how pathetic) checking out  every soccer / football deal and below is our “best of” list. And since we are saving our pennies for the new iPhone 4, all of our selections are either FREE or an affordable 99 cents. Enjoy the World Cup … but keep the urine bag throwing to a minimum.

LED Soccer – was $0.99, now FREE [iTunes] : an old school classic dating back to 1979. This retro-style game has been recreated by touchGrove to perfection … throw on some AC/DC for the full 1979-effect. Deal is good today only!

Magnetic Sports Soccer – was $3.99, now FREE [iTunes]: the original version is older than the aforementioned LED Soccer … actually it’s so old it farts dust … but what the hell, it’s FREE. Not sure how long this sale lasts, so jump on it quick!

Coin Soccer – was $0.99, now FREE [iTunes]: this one is a turn-based game that is really pretty fun to play … it was featured in Apple’s “Hot New Games” classification, hooray! Coin Soccer won’t cost you any coin, but only for this weekend.

USAChant – was $0.99, now FREE [iTunes]: not exactly a soccer app, but good for any global sporting if you’re a die-hard Yankee … it just chants “USA, USA, USA” … would be cooler if it farted in between chants. FREE today only, hurry!

ea-gameloft-soccer-apps1

These next two iPhone games are not free, but at 99 cents, they represent an 85% savings which in our opinion is a helluv a deal. These are two of the best soccer / football games in the App Store from two of the best publishers. If you can only pick one to buy, dig a bit deeper in your couch and find some spare change … both apps rock!

FIFA World Cup – was $4.99, now $0.99 [iTunes]: published by EA and at it’s lowest price ever … EA deals don’t get any better than this … just do it. Sale price valid this weekend only – like we said … just do it.

Real Soccer 2010 – was $4.99, now $0.99 [iTunes]: we played Fake Soccer 2010 and without a doubt, Real Soccer 2010 is way better … published by Gameloft, the $0.99 price is good until June 16, so you have four days of couch digging to come up with the coin.

Bonus round … admittedly 110% not related to any of the above, but just in case you ever wonder how pregnant you are …How Pregnant Am I – was $4.99, now FREE [iTunes].

Hershey Throws First Punch In Milk Fight, Files Complaint Against iMilk Developer

In Monday’s WWDC 2010 keynote address, Steve Jobs stated that Apple passed 5 billion total apps downloaded, with over $1 billion paid out to developers. Repeat … ONE BILLION DOLLARS! That’s a shit load of bills and proof that developing iPhone apps can be a lucrative business.

But naturally, anytime there are serious bucks at stake … competition gets intense, lawyers get involved and lawsuits are filed. We’ve already seen a legal skirmish between the two original iPhone fart apps … dozens of memory games forced to change their name due to trademark infringement … and an indie developer sue Coors for $12.5 million!  

129013494971904450

The latest App Store battle involves Hottrix … the same indie developer who sued Coors … and this time they are tangling with another giant, Hershey (as in chocolate).

Hottrix’s claim to fame is that they developed the code to a virtual glass … apps which make your iPhone look like it’s a glass of beer (iBeer), soda (iSoda) or milk (iMilk) that empties as you tip it. Hottrix is a small but fierce company when it comes to protecting their intellectual property … as evident by Coors no longer offering their version of a virtual glass of beer, iPint.

In the same iBeer/iPint vain, Hottrix is attempting to protect their iMilk app from the competing Hershey’s Chocolate Milk application. Only this time, Hershey is the one filing the lawsuit, arguing that Hottrix cannot claim to own “the unprotectable idea of a virtual glass of milk. Hottrix has allegedly sent Hershey a notice of infringement in December 2009, claiming Hershey snaked the iMilk code and tweaked it for their own Hershey’s Chocolate Milk application. The notice of infringement also states that Hottrix demanded that Hershey cease marketing its Chocolate Milk app. So instead of waiting for a lawsuit from Hottrix, Hershey decided to throw the first punch by filing their complaint first.

[editor’s note – gotta love iMilk’s description promoting their “knock off” sale … LMAO]

iMilk-title

imilk-1

The complaint goes on to state that Hershey independently created all the code for its app and gives examples of how Hershey Chocolate Milk app is substantially different from iMilk. Blah, blah, blah …

hershey-iphone-app

The chocolate giant might have met their match with those feisty bastards from Hottrix as we have a feeling the small indie will not back down and fight tooth and nail to defend their intellectual property.

iMilk-tweet

Now an interesting twist to this story is the fact that at one time Hershey contacted Hottrix to develop the code for Hershey’s application and sell it to them for distribution under the Hershey name. The arrangement never materialized … and now Hershey is suing Hottrix, go figure!  

The Hershey Co. v. Hottrix LLC is case number 1:10-cv-01178, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania … and on that note, we are starting to become lactose intolerant.

Inexpensive In-Car Entertainment System With SeatBuddy iPhone Stand

Often times, the best things in life are the simple ones. Like an In-N-Out Double Double (animal style, of course) … a day at the beach … or the Snuggie. Recently we came across a brilliant idea for the iPhone … amazing in its simplicity.

Remember the airsickness bag we featured that converts to a convenient iPhone stand for hands-free movie viewing or music listening during airline travel? Well admittedly, using a barf bag to hold your iPhone is a bit uncivilized. So to help you avoid those glaring WTF stares … check out SeatBuddy.

seat-buddy-iphone-1

SeatBuddy is a really simply rubberized iPhone case … with one ingenious twist … attached is a pair of straps. When seated on an airplane, simply hang your iPhone with SeatBuddy over the top of the seat-back tray table for comfortable eye-level viewing. As the video demonstrates … using SeatBuddy is simple and awesome.

Now it gets even better. SeatBuddy includes a set of Velcro tabs that allow the straps to be attached to each other. With this configuration, SeatBuddy can be secured to a treadmill, a glove compartment, the back of a car seat or anywhere you can secure with Velcro.

We love the idea of using SeatBuddy as an inexpensive in-car entertainment system (just watch out for speed bumps and potholes) … where Brother Bob can watch South Park while Sister Sue enjoys iCarly. Check out the videos below of glove compartment and car seat demonstrations.

SeatBuddy is available from the company’s website (not an affiliate link – we hate those) for $23.90 with shipping … quantity discounts are available.

Hopefully SeatBuddy will release an iPad version soon … which would simply be even more awesome since viewing movies and videos on the iPad’s 9.7-inch high-resolution screen is way superior to the iPhone’s 3.5-inch view.

iPhone Balls – EWWW!

Interestingly enough, penises have played an integral role on the iPhone. We’ve featured an app that turns your iPhone into a penis … an app that worships penis … even a game that’s a real kick in the penis – Ow My Ballls!

But the aforementioned apps pale in comparison to the new iPhone Balls case which literally features dangling testicles. LMAO … WTF … well, at least there not blue.
