Speed Test

Have you ever wondered how quickly your Apple iPhone or iPod Touch downloads and uploads information? There is an application called Speed Test that tests your iPhone or iPod and tells you this information. It has been on the iTunes store since February!

The app lets you select download and uploads speeds to be shown in kbps, Mbps or kB/s. You can sort history of tests newest to oldest, or oldest to newest. You can select from many different download sites for comparison.


This app give you a great idea of what locations are good or not-so-good for iPhone download speed. This iPhone app is FREE, and best of all there are no annoying ads displayed.

This fantastic app helps you Kick Butt better with your iPhone and iPod!

LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY!!!

Sometimes we get lucky and things just work out, but maybe in this case it was a combination of luck and persistance. I've blogged a few times about some fantastic online games and iPhone applications by Big Fat Simulations, and recently I mentioned that they might be working on an iPhone app for a game they made called Will It Fly?

I've been bugging them for a couple weeks to get some details about the project and I just scored. One of their programmers has kindly sent me a screenshot of the beta version of Will It Fly? I really really really wanted a screenshot of the iPhone game in play, but I didn't expect to actually get it, especially before being released on the iTunes store.


Here's a shot of a cargo plane loaded-up trying to outclimb a mountain!

From the shot above, it looks quite similar to the online game that keeps score and has challenges such as different wind directions and strengths, and the option to load as many passengers and as much baggage as you dare! Just watch out for mountains, volcanos, bridges and iPhone towers!

If they send this in to Apple soon we shouldn't have to wait too long for this iPhone game to be avaible. I plan to write an update when we find out more!

Airport Madness Mobile is an iPhone version of the successful Airport Madness series initially created for the PC by Big Fat Simulations. Soon after the initial Airport Madness was released they made Airport Madness 2, then Airport Madness 3, each offering far more than the previous versions and exponential in popularity also.


Here is a screenshot of Airport Madness Mobile in action.

There is also an Airport Madness Mobile Lite that is FREE at the iTunes store. Downloads of this iPhone app have been explosive!

Developed by the teamwork of Big Fat Simulations and Fluik Entertainment, two companies with proven track records in their own fields of expertise, Airport Madness builds upon an already popular PC game and brings it to the iPhone. Will we see this on the iPad sometime soon??? I hope so!

This was one of the first iPhone games I blogged about and after a year I'm still playing it. Moto X Mayhem is a fun iPhone app where you ride a dirtbike over different terrain, take jumps, go through tunnels and try to reach the end.


Here is an example of completing a jump!

As well as some great graphics, there are some funny sound effects when the biker does a wipe out! You can actually hear him/her grunt! Using Autorotation (rotation transformation) on your iPhone, you can control the pitch of the bike and even complete a loop if you go off a jump.

It's very entertaining!

Part two of screenshots from from great applications takes us to Gunner.

Here are some shots from Funner Gunner:


The game starts at a nice pace and builds quickly


Here's where we get to shop for new items


The game gets quite intense after a few minutes

As you can see from the pictures above, the artwork is amazing - about as good as you could get on an iPhone. Rich is colors and smooth in play, this addictive game has great sounds to accompany some fast-paced action. Fluik Entertainment has again brought us one of the best made iPhone games available today!

I've decided to add some screenshots of some great iPhone and iPad games I've blogged about. There are plenty to choose from at the iTunes store but these in particular are well made with great grahics, sounds, gameplay and run well on your mobile device!

Here are some shots from Pik's Revenge:


Pik starts off here and has plenty of places to go.


Pik collects treasures along the way. Note the fantastic graphics!!!


Here is where Pik improves health and gets tools!

As you can see from the screenshots above the graphics set a new standard for iPhone and iPad games and applications. These are top notch and Kick serious Butt!

Fotopedia Heritage

I'm amazed at how handy my iPhone has been to me on trips the last couple of years. Not only can I use my mobile device to check in electronically at the airport and navigate around a new town, but I can book my hotel and airline tickets with my iPhone too.

I've just found an iPhone application on the iTunes store that has made planning a trip even more exciting. Fotopedia provides you a visual journey across the 890 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. With maps and some incredible pictures, this is a great app to help you plan which places to visit, and provide a huge amount of information once you've arrived.


This great application is free for the iPhone and the iPad, making your travel plans affordable and exciting. So download it today and Kick Butt!
