10 Must Have iPhone Apps for 2011

0 comments

10 Must Have iPhone Apps for 2011Every year brings new Apps breakthroughs for our trusty iPhones, and 2011 is looking set to be no exception. In this list of promising Apps for 2011, I’ve gone for a variety of games, utilities and just outright brilliant Apps that will enhance your relationship with your phone in various ways.

 

1. Instagram – By Burbn Inc, Updated 27th January 2011, FREE Instagram - Burbn, Inc.

10 Must Have iPhone Apps for 2011

Photo-altering app that has effectively become an image-based social network

Spearheading the recent social networking trend of sharing images rather than words is Instagram. This app allows you to take photos, enhance them with a series of effects, and seamlessly share them on social networking sites.

What makes Instagram stand out from other photo-sharing apps is that it has effectively become a social network unto itself. You can build up a network of friends and contacts whose photos you appreciate within the app itself, making it a pure image-based social network.

Instagram is great for those wanting to (literally) share their visions with the world and track down people with similar outlooks. Instagram is certain to continue growing throughout 2011 as the relative anonymity of photo-sharing is proving to be a popular digital pastime.

2. Star Walk – By Vito Technology, Updated 4th January 2011, £1.79 Star Walk - 5 Stars Astronomy Guide - Vito Technology Inc.

10 Must Have iPhone Apps for 2011

A deep but accessible astronomy iphone app

Ok, so not everyone is interested in astronomy, but for those who are then this is a beautiful app to get lost in. Whether you just want to do some star-gazing, travel through time, or look at Meteor showers in deep space, Star Walk has it all.

The great thing about this app is that it is accessible to astronomy beginners while also being useful for those specialised in the field. The Telrad feature allows you to measure angular distances between stars (not that I understand astronomy enough to know the purpose of this), and there is a considerable catalogue detailing objects in both deep and shallow space. All of this presented through an intuitive and sleek interface that never distances you too much from the wonders of space.

Star Walk received design awards in both 2009 and 2010. Its regular updates should ensure that it remains the most comprehensive, visually pleasing and enjoyable astronomy app to indulge in throughout 2011.

3. Schedulicity – By Schedulicity Inc

10 Must Have iPhone Apps for 2011

For the uninitiated, Schedulicity is a web-based service that allows individuals and small businesses to manage their appointments and schedules online.

Now, the popular service has found its way to smartphones and tablet devices, allowing appointments to be managed from the palm of your hand. Edit client accounts, receive appointment reminders and organise you calendar whenever you like! Of course, this could spawn a generation of workaholics who, having their business in the palms of their hands, obsess over their schedules every waking moment of the day, but it certainly makes businesses more manageable. Everything you do in the mobile version will, of course, be streamlined with your web-based account.

Already recognised as an important trend in streamlining business operations and customer services, Schedulicity looks likely to catch on as an integral aspect of managing small businesses.

4. Blackstar – By Spacetime Studios,Release Date: Q2 2011, Price TBC

10 Must Have iPhone Apps for 2011

From the makers of Pocket Legends, Blackstar is likely to be the next big thing for iPhone MMOs

While a Massively Multiplayer Online game a.k.a. MMO is certainly not a must-have App for everyone, there certainly is a niche crowd of geeks who’ll be drooling over this one.

Blackstar is the successor to the popular iPhone MMO Pocket Legends. However, while that was based on a world of elves and pixies, Blackstar takes place in a conflict-filled 41st Century.

Few details have been disclosed so far, except that the developers are promising that it will not be ‘content-light’ and that it will support just about every relevant technology out there (EDGE, 3G, Wi-Fi, 4G). It’s safe to assume that this will address the various issues raised with its fantasy predecessor, and reel in the sci-fi-geek masses.

5. Kindle – By Amazon, Updated 14th February 2011, FREE Kindle - Amazon.com

10 Must Have iPhone Apps for 2011

Will Kindle succeed on the iPhone?

So the Amazon’s digital-book-reading App has been around for a while, but 2011 will be a crucial year in finding out whether it will catch on on Apple’s devices. Its case will not be helped by the recent revelation that Apple have forbidden Amazon from providing web links for purchasing their books.

Politics aside, the Kindle App is probably the best book-reader App out there. It allows you to synchronise all your e-books between devices, meaning that as long as you have a device, you always have access to your books; stick in the mud that I am, I don’t see how carrying an actual book around is such a burden, but then this whole e-book craze seems to be catching on quite nicely so I’m obviously just wrong in my cynicism.

Among the neat features on the Kindle App is the option to look up words on Google and Wikipedia and also tap words into an in-built dictionary. While 2011 seems destined to be a good year for the Kindle device, whether it will catch on with Apple’s devices is not so certain due to the recent changes to Apple’s terms of use. Either way, it will be an interesting year for the Kindle App!

6. Dead Space – By EA Mobile, Released 25th January 2011, £3.99 Dead Space™ - Electronic Arts Nederland B.V.

10 Must Have iPhone Apps for 2011

One of the most intense horror games has arrived on the iPhone

Most gaming enthusiasts will know that Dead Space is probably the most terrifying game to play on the big consoles. Naturally, this fear is hard to translate to the small iPhone screen, but that doesn’t stop it from being EA’s best mobile offering to date.

Dead Space looks and plays brilliantly, utilising the minimal interface of its big console counterparts. There is a plethora of brutal weapons, varied scenery, and the gameplay utilises the touch-screen very smoothly.

At £3.99, Dead Space can be considered one of the more pricey iPhone games, but with a 5-hour storyline and some intense action sequences its price tag (which, let’s be honest, isn’t that high anyway) is perfectly justified.

7. CoPilot Live 9 Release date: Q2 2011, Price TBC

10 Must Have iPhone Apps for 2011

The social-network-friendly GPS App

A relatively unexpensive Sat Nav App for the Facebook generation. The latest version of CoPilot is set to feature an overhauled interface and provides multiple routes to your selected destinations.

Aside from these functional upgrades, CoPilot 9 will also feature an integrated Bing search engine made for tracking local businesses and services. And for those hopelessly addicted to the trivial activity of letting the whole world know where you are through Facebook Places, this App will feed your habit by letting you post updates to Places in real-time; after all, everyone wants to know when you’re stuck in rush-hour traffic in London, don’t they?

Other unique features include the option to save the exact location of your car, driving directions to ‘geotagged’ pictures taken by your smartphone, and a walking mode which helps you navigate cities on foot. Yes, CoPilot is making our dependency on our own sense of navigation a thing of the past.

8. Bear Grylls – Bear Essentials – By Chillingo, Updated 6th January 2011, £3.99 Bear Grylls - Bear Essentials - Chillingo Ltd

10 Must Have iPhone Apps for 2011

Bear Essentials is a functional and substantial app for those interested in their own survival

People often say that their iPhone is a ‘lifesaving’ device, helping you find your way from A to B, work out train times and general assistance with other such urban activities. But with Bear Grylls’ heavily branded ‘Bear Essentials’, your iPhone can save your life more literally.

In the admittedly unlikely case that you find yourself in a Bear Grylls-like scenario of being stranded up a mountain or in a jungle, or shipwrecked on a desert island, this App gives essential advice in surviving these situations.

As well as offering videos and interactive diagrams, there is a whole wealth of extremely useful survival information for you to refer to. At the end of each section you look through, there is also a quiz to test your survival knowledge; granted, you won’t be quizzing yourself while hunting for snakes and making camp-fires using flints and sticks, but it’s good to be prepared. Essential for the more adventurous iPhone owner.

9. Hipstamatic – By Synthetic Corp Updated 10th February 2011, £1.19 Hipstamatic - Synthetic Corp

10 Must Have iPhone Apps for 2011

Hipstamatic allows you to choose from plenty of vintage looks for your photos

Retro is always ‘in’, so it seems natural that an App would come along that lets you take photos with a distinctly retro make-over. Hipstamatic is an extremely fun App that allows you to take photos using various lens, flash and film types to give your photos that Analog feel.

Such is the popularity of this App that it even has its own ‘Hipstamart’, where you can purchase further flashes, films and lenses for your omnipotent analog camera. There is even a monthly competition where the community votes on the best ‘HipstaPrints’, giving you the chance to win ‘fabulous’ prizes.

The fact that Hipstamatic has managed to create a community around itself and even have its own store for additional content suggests that the ball has only just got rolling on this one, and it will be interesting to see how it develops throughout 2011.

10. The Shadow Sun – By Ossian, Release Date: Q2 2011

10 Must Have iPhone Apps for 2011

The Shadow Sun looks tear-jerkingly beautiful

While the iPhone has slowly established itself as a worthy gaming platform, it still lacks an immersive, epic RPG experience. Initially, it was thought that this was due to the technical limitations of the iphone, but The Shadow Sun looks should put that theory to bed.

The Shadow Sun promises in-depth character development, a varied game world and, as you can see, beautiful graphics of the sort rarely seen on the iPhone. Your choices affect the story, the gameplay is fast-paced, and you can even take on party members. In other words, this isn’t the ‘Lite’ RPG experience iPhone users have come to accept, but the full-on thing.

Ossian have delayed The Shadow Sun until Spring 2011, suggesting that they are striving for perfection with this ambitious project. Could this be the RPG that iPhone gamers have long been waiting for?

The Most Wanted PlayStation 3 Games of 2011

0 comments

Most Wanted PlayStation 3 Games2011 is well and truly underway and as we wave goodbye to a fairly varied year, we look forward to a whole bunch of new video games to get us through to the next firework day. But what games are worth looking forward to? We intend to answer that very question by compiling a list of our most wanted games of 2011. This week, we will be showcasing the most promising games of 2011 with a different console each day. Today, we will go through our PlayStation 3 list. Check back each day this week for PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo 3DS and DS and finally XBOX 360!

Most Wanted PlayStation 3 Games

Duke Nukem Forever
Gearbox
2k Games

After almost 14 years in development, it looks like Duke Nukem Forever will finally see light of day in 2011! Will it be good? or will it be overhyped? Time will tell, but at least it’ll see a console release. The story of the game is probably more than enough reasons for you to buy it.

Basically, Duke is playing his own video game whilst having sex with the “Holson Twins” in his “Lady Killer” casino as he waits for his interview to begin on a talk show. As he’s waiting (and playing the game, while having sex), the power goes out. When Duke goes to investigate the outage, a young fan hands him a jetpack for some reason, which he uses to jet to the top of the casino. There’s a giant alien mothership there, presumably kidnapping his various strippers. And so the game begins…

Worth the wait? So far, so good.

Most Wanted PlayStation 3 Games

Silent Hill: Downpour
Vatra Games
Konami

No. We’re not “over” Silent Hill. Sure, there have been some questionable iterations – and the movie was okay – but who can really get over the horror series that made us all crap our pants back in high school?

Downpour is still set in Silent Hill, but it explores the SouthEastern area of the town for the first time. The iconic hospital and/or school are absent, and the game’s story is not connected to the originals in any way. The developers have also mentioned that water will play a prominent role in the game. You’ll also be amused to know that your character will only be using one weapon at a time, and said weapons are prone to breakage.

There’s only one thing we need to fix before this one comes out “sometime” in 2011; the R18+ issue. Sigh.

Most Wanted PlayStation 3 Games

Mortal Kombat
NetherRealm Studios
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment

Ed Boon is back! The man who invented the “totally rad” Mortal Kombat series was one of only four people who worked on the original game back in 1991. Since the age of polygonal 3D, the series has taken somewhat of a down turn in terms of awesomeness. Now, however, a brand new development studio headed by Boon, NetherRealm Studios, has been made specifically to bring MK back to it’s roots.

And the game looks mad. The game has been made with the “casual gamer” in mind, simplifying awesome “fatality” moves and other great looking combos. The team have also invested a lot into the story of the game, pointing out that the series’ plot had been largely ignored in previous games in favor of gameplay.

Oh yes – there will also be bucket loads of blood.

Most Wanted PlayStation 3 Games

Metal Gear Solid: Rising
Kojima Productions
Konami

What happens when you take the immortal stealthy series Metal Gear Solid and merge it with the Havok Physics Engine? You get one of the most frantic “must have” titles of 2011, that’s what.

In Rising, you’ll be controlling Raiden and unlike the other games in the series, Rising will be a fast-paced action title. What’s more, the game is centered around the “cutting”. Cut and take, to be precise. As you power through the levels, you’ll be slicing up cyborgs and robots, taking parts and life from them in awesome style.

Did we mention the game will be rendered in 3D? This will be one of the coolest titles of 2011.

Most Wanted PlayStation 3 Games

Killzone 3
Guerilla Games
Sony Computer Entertainment

Speaking of cool titles, it doesn’t come much cooler than Killzone 3. Guerilla have taken some of the feedback from Killzone 2 and are implementing some changes into number 3. For a start, the developers are focusing on a more “light-hearted” approach to the story.

With the Beta release well underway, we wont have to wait too long. Killzone 3 will be released at the end of February. The game is also being purpose made for 3D, so there will be lots of eye candy to be had!

Most Wanted PlayStation 3 Games

Journey
thatgamecompany
Sony Computer Entertainment America

Journey is probably one of the most impressive downloadable titles we’ve seen in a while. If not for gameplay, then atleast visually. Journey is an online game set in a mysterious world. Players can play alone or with others and one of the most interesting aspects is that you will never know who you’re playing with.

The idea is that you wont know who or where the player is – or their age for that matter – but you will know that they’re another human being. This opens up unlimited possibilites. But perhaps the most intriguing thing is the developers are really working hard to replicate the feeling of sand in the game. Your character will slightly sink into the sand, leaving footprints in it’s wake that will gradually be covered due to the wind. Journey looks impressive and we can’t wait to get out hands on it.

Most Wanted PlayStation 3 Games

Infamous 2
Sucker Punch Productions
Sony Computer Entertainment

Not that I can talk – but what’s with the hero’s names these days? Cole McGrath is back in Infamous 2 this time exploring New Marais, a brand new city. The cool thing about the game is that it seems you can import your earned reputation from the original title, meaning all those hard hours were not in vain.

The team at Sucker Punch are also including motion capture for the character movements and the cut scenes, meaning a more realistic experience is to be had. The open world, mind bending physics-based gameplay is in tact and Infamous 2 sits proudly in our list of most wanted.

Most Wanted PlayStation 3 Games

I Am Alive
Ubisoft Shanghai
Ubisoft

We loved “Disaster: Day of Crisis” for Wii, despite it’s mixed reception. There’s nothing like a post-disaster survival game to inject pure intensity into our gameplay experience. And that’s exactly what “I Am Alive” hopes to achieve.

After a massive earthquake ruins the city, it’s up to you to keep alive, keep hydrated and save survivors who are trapped under various degrees of rubble. For some reason, there are also enemies – and random citizens will try to take your stuff. The game is set from the first person perspective, and you’ll have an arsenal of weapons at your disposal. Adding to the excitement is the ability to drive abandoned vehicles – we think Ubisoft is onto a winner.

Most Wanted PlayStation 3 Games

The Last Guardian
Team Ico
Sony Computer Entertainment

Let’s see… Young boy? Check. Gigantic, man eating eagle monkey? Check. Looks like we have an “action/adventure” title on our hands.

In The Last Guardian, you control a kid who meets a gigantic half eagle, half something monstrous beast whom you’ll have to take care of. As you progress through the game, you’ll have to use the beast’s nature to solve puzzles. In one example, you may have to get the beast to stand on a specific spot, so you’ll have to throw barrels to gain it’s attention to make it move over. Actions will directly effect Torico’s (that’s the beasts’ name) psychological condition. When you are fighting, for example, Torico may not be able to protect you if there is some kind of psychological conflict.

Anyway, it looks mysterious and cool. An epic in it’s truest form. We’ll have to wait till around December 2011 to play it, though.

Most Wanted PlayStation 3 Games

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception
Naughty Dog
Sony Computer Entertainment

Had you worried for a moment there, didn’t we? What kind of PlayStation list would this be without mention of Uncharted 3? An oddly characteristic list, that’s what.

But regardless, we added it in. Because it looks sweet. Drake is back and will be forced to explore real-world locations such as the Rub’al Khali desert in search of the legendary and arguably generic “Lost City”. The gameplay has been revamped to include some new moves, better enemy AI and realistic environments. But the icing on the cake?

You guessed it – 3D. Another late release, though – we’ll be waiting until November 2011 to play this one. From what we’ve seen already, it may well be worth the wait.

That’s our list for PlayStation 3 Most Wanted of 2011! Tomorrow, we’ll be bringing you our list of most wanted PSP games of 2011. Don’t forget to check back every day this week as we present our most wanted from Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS and finally, PC

Getting started and master Netflix for Wii

15 comments

Getting started with your Xbox 360How to stream movies and TV from your Nintendo console Gaming consoles have come quite a way in recent years in terms of adding functionality above and beyond simply playing amazing video games. The Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 have all added tools and programs to further the user's experience and create an added value. One example of this kind of functionality is using Netflix to watch instant streaming movies and episodes of television series right on your TV without the need for any additional hardware aside from the game console. All three consoles have Neflix functionality at this point, but we'll focus on getting Netflix streaming content working on the Wii console.

Getting started and master Netflix for Wii

Getting started and master Netflix for WiiNetflix is one of the most popular media rental services on the planet, so there's already a pretty good chance that you have a Neflix account. However, if you don't, the first thing you'll need to do is create one. There are several levels of service subscriptions that Netflix offers, but the bare-bones, $8.99/month subscription is really all you need to watch all the streaming content you want. You can set up an account online in a matter of minutes, and once your account is active you can begin watching streaming content right on your computer. However, to watch your Netflix content for free on your Wii you'll need to complete a couple more steps.

Getting started and master Netflix for WiiSince you're already online with your Netflix account, simply navigate your address bar to www.Netflix.com/wii. From here you'll be able to order a free Wii Netflix disc with just a few clicks of your mouse. After completing this step you'll be able to relax for a few days while you await your disc to come in the mail. This is a great time to start building a list of content you plan on watching using the Instant Queue tool provided by Netflix. After logging into your Netflix account you can begin browsing instant streaming content using the Instant tab near the top of the screen. All of the content in this category is available to watch immediately. Unfortunately, not all of the content on the entirety of Netflix is available in instant streaming form, but you'll find that the majority of high-demand and popular content is. Once you find a movie or show you want to save to your queue, simply move your mouse over the "Watch" button and another small button will pop up above it saying "Add to Instant Queue". Click this, and your program is now saved to your Instant Queue until you decide to delete it later. After spending a good amount of time building your perfect Netflix library,it should be just about time for your disc to arrive in the mail.

Getting started and master Netflix for WiiPlace the Netflix Wii disc inside your Wii console and boot it up. Click the Netflix icon that now appears in your Disc Channel and wait a moment. From here you'll receive an activation code that will allow your Wii console to work hand-in-hand with the Netflix streaming service. Log in to your Netflix account using your computer and again navigate to netflix.com/wii. Here you'll be prompted to enter your activation code. Enter it and press the "Activate" button. After this your Wii will be authorized to work with Netflix.

Getting started and master Netflix for WiiAlmost immediately your Netflix Instant Queue should pop up on your screen, showing all of the content you've chosen using the computer-based tools you used earlier. You'll also be presented with several huge playlists of content based on different categories like Comedy, Horror and Drama, regardless of whether or not you have built your own Instant Queue, so you'll have plenty of stellar content to watch no matter what. However, if you took the time to build an Instant Queue, or chose to at any time in the future, your Wii will then suggest other content to you based on things you've watched from your queue. This is a fantastic feature that really pushes fantastic content to you that you may have otherwise missed. As of the time of this writing, there is no search feature included with the Wii version of Netflix. This means that whenever you want to search for any specific movie or television program you'll need to log on to your Netflix account using a computer. We can only hope that a full content browser is added at some point in the future, but as of right now the tools in place do a good job of allowing you to find content perfect for you, even if it takes just a little digging.

So there you have it; a fantastic and simple way to watch streaming Netflix content right on your TV, without the need for any hardware besides that little white Nintendo box you have anyway. If you have an Xbox 360 or a PlayStation 3, the process is a bit different, and we'll have guides on how to use Netflix for those two consoles shortly as well so be sure to check back!

We've got 21 tips on browsing better , e-mailing more effectively, and using the Maps and Contacts features with 12 iPhone Tricks You Might Not Have Known iPod Touch Tricks Whether you're an iPhone rookie or a weathered pro, take a look at these quick- and-easy iPhone tips and tricks which not only save you time

1.   Double tap space bar for a period -

When typing on your iPhone, double tapping the space bar at the end of a sentence automatically enters a period followed by a space. No need to press "123" to get to the numbers and symbols page where the period typically resides. I use this trick daily and it heavily increases my typing speed (especially when texting).

Spacebar1

Spacebar2

2.  Tap the bottom corner to navigate home screens

When on your home screen, try tapping the bottom right/left corner to switch between pages instead of swiping your finger accross the screen.

Home_navigation_tip

3.   Take out your SIM card during backup and sync -

We've all experienced it. You're backing up and syncing your iPhone, and the hour long back up is nearly complete. Then all of a sudden you get a phone call, and the whole back up/sync is null and void.

To avoid this happening, simply start the backup/sync, then pull out your SIM card. Do not worry, this does not damage your phone at all. Put it back in once everything is complete. This way, your backup won't get interrupted.

This tip is also useful if you need to make a phone call while your iPhone is backing up/syncing. Since unlocking your phone cancels the process, just take out your SIM card, pop it in your old cell phone, and call away.

4.   Move "dock" icons

You'd be surprised how often this tip is overlooked. The 4 icons located on the grey bar at the bottom of your iPhone - Phone, Mail, iPod, Safari - are movable, just like the rest of the icons. Just press and hold the icons, then drag them while they are shaking. Press the home button when you're done. You can put any 4 icons on your dock.

In the screenshots, note the difference between pic 1 and 2.

Dock1

Dock2

5.   Automatically capitalize and add apostrophes

The iPhone automatically capitalizes certain words ("I" when you type "i"). It also automatically adds apostrophes ("I'm" when you type "Im").

Type_tip_1

Type_tip_2

6.   Double tap a column on Safari to fit-to-page

When browsing the Internet on your iPhone's Safari browser, double tap any column, word, or picture to fit it's width to your iPhone's screen. This is extremely useful for reading blogs.

The first screenshot is the page when it firsts load. The second screenshot is the page once the main text was double tapped.

Width_tip1

Width_tip2

7.   Manually select the icon image for a bookmarked webpage

This one's a little more confusing. When you are browsing a website on your iPhone's Safari browser and want to add its icon to your home screen, press the plus sign and select "Add to Home Screen".

The image in the icon, however, is a screenshot of the page you were on. So if you want the icon to look a specific way, zoom in on a particular item on the page. Whether you want the website's logo, or some picture on the page, simply zoom in on that part of the page before you press "Add to Home Screen".

Note: This doesn't work with all websites. Popular sites like Google have special icons for the iPhone's home screen.

Bookmark1

Go to your website of choice.

Bookmark2

Zoom in on your favorite part.

Bookmark3

Press the + sign and choose Add to Home Screen.

Bookmark4

Name the bookmark appropriately (Digg - Apple).

Bookmark5

Now that exact part of the webpage is displayed in your icon.

8.   Your iPhone's headphones have a multi-function button!

You'd be surprised how many people don't know that the iPhone's native headphones have a button on the microphone.

Just squeeze the microphone together, and the button gets pressed.

The buttons functions:

In call...

  • Press once to answer a call
  • Press twice to send the call to voicemail
  • Press once to hang up a call

In call while second call coming in... [thank you silver0fox]

  • click once to hold current call and switch to new call
  • hold for 2 secs and release to ignore new call

Out of call...

  • Press once to activate iPod and play song
  • Press once to pause song
  • Press twice to skip to next song

Using these 8 tips will not only increase your iPhone IQ, but improve your overall iPhone experience. For more iPhone tips and tricks, check out our older article "12 iPhone Tricks You May Not Know".
