Capcom has announced that Street Fighter IV is headed to the iPhone later this year in March. The above picture is how many fans hope it would look on the iPhone but the truth is that the iPhone can’t pull off what the latest generation consoles can do. Another serious question gamers may have is how on earth can anyone pull off Street Fighter combo moves without a D-pad or buttons? With a virtual pad and buttons of course.
I think that instead of this virtual pad nonsense Capcom could have come up with a more creative solution. Look at what Konami did with metal Gear Solid Touch and what Sega did with Super Monkey Ball. It’s definitely possibly to create some unique controls on the iPhone without these silly virtual pads. With the iPhones built in motion sensor and multi-touch capabilities there are endless possibilities of how to pull of a great game.

If you’re looking to get some free demos on your iPhone, your prayers are being answered. Even though $10 isn’t too much to spend on a quality game, companies like Sega are still starting to release lite versions of app games which feature unlimited play of a limited number of levels. The latest lite apps released include some very popular games in Rolando and Super Monkey Ball.

There are many MP3 players out there trying to compete with the iPod so why is it that the iPod still controls over 70% of the mp3 player market? iPods are briliantly designed, easy to operate and generally have fewer problems than competitors MP3 players. They say you can’t buy happiness but you will generally be happier overall with iPods despite paying more money up front. From the Shuffle to the Nano to the newest addition to the family, the Touch, here’s to over 150 million iPods sold.

They should change the phrase to The Way to a Man’s Heart is Through His iPhone. Seeing the colorful frosting on the top of these cupcakes make me want one so much more than just a typical batch. It’s not just the bright colors that attract me, it’s also the meaning behind the icons displayed on the cupcakes. The Apple iPhone is one of the greatest inventions and an awesome device.. when it doesn’t freeze up on me.

If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch and love Pole Position then Prepare to qualify because Pole Position: Remix is now available on your overpriced Apple device’s AppStore for $10. The features include tilt steering, themed levels and a new track. I’m going to read up on the reviews before I purchase this one but hopefully Namco put time into this game unlike the version of Ms. Pacman I have on my cell phone.
More @ Namco Games.

I’m a sucker for a good addictive game so when I heard that MotionX Poker recently dropped in price from $4.99 to $.99, I had to check it out. The game is really well made. Great graphics, unlockable content and addictive gameplay. The game plays similar to Yahtzee. The neatest feature about this game is also its greatest enemy. To roll the dice you actually shake your iPod Touch/iPhone. While it’s fun to shake at first, it loses its joy after a while and I wish there was an alternative ‘roll’ button. The sound and music in the game is top notch. Overall it’s well, well worth the one dollar and I’ve never been able to buy anything this much fun at the dollar store.
MotionX also released a free dice application that’s not really game but just a dice rolling simulation that will give you an idea of how MotionX Poker will play.

The latest version of iTunes, version 8, introduces a new feature entitled Genius. Genius will make song recommendations in your music library based on the song you’re currently listening to. It also states that the recommendations will get better over time. I tested it out with a few songs and while it may not be a ‘Genius’ at choosing similar style songs, it is pretty smart. Hopefully the feature gets better over time with future versions.

Next Tuesday will be a big day for Apple and Apple enthusiasts as Apple is expected to unveil the next generation of iPods. No one except Apple insiders will know exactly what will go down on Tuesday but I’m expecting price drops for the iPod Touch line with new features like GPS, memory bumps and total redesigns for the Nanos and possibly updated Macbooks.

- Remote: Control your iTunes through you iPod Touch.

As a new iPod Touch owner I am very interested in Apple’s latest announcement of Apps or Applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch. All iPhones including both the new 3G phones and older first gen models can upgrade to firmware 2.0 for free which gives them access to the app store. iPod Touch users can also upgrade their firmware to 2.0 for a $9.99 fee. The applications range in function from games to productivity apps to social networking apps and give 3rd parties a chance to develop software for Apple iPhones and iPods. Some applications are free while others range in price from $.99 to $9.99 and more. More App Store information can be found here.

There had been a lot of speculation up to today about what information Steve Jobs would be releasing at this years WWDC 2008 keynote presentation. It was announced today that it was indeed the 3G iPhone which many have been waiting for. The new iPhone will have many new features including, real GPS, faster download speeds, a new service called MobileMe which will sync your computer and phone similar to Outlook and much greater developer support.
The best news is that the 3G phones start at $199 for the 8GB model, a dramatic decrease in price from the $399 8GB model previously released last generation. The updated models are similar in size to the previously released model with new curved edges (a la Macbook Air). Check out Apple.com/iphone for more pictures and videos of the phone in action. The iPhone 3G will be coming out July 11.
