Colorbind is a fantastic iPhone/iPod Touch puzzle game. It’s well designed, has a ton of levels, and is a whole lot harder than it looks in this video. It’s one of those iPhone games that understands and properly makes you use of the touch interface. If you like thinking or puzzle games then go and grab it in the App Store it’s well worth it.

Mimeo, a Super Mario homage on the iPhone
February 24th, 2010
I thought this upcoming iPhone game deserved to be mentioned, it’s a bit of an homage to Super Mario Bros. and the golden era of video games. It has a really cool twist with the game’s power-ups upgrading the worlds and the graphics. The game starts out as a black & white 2-bit game and can be taken all the way up to a 16-bit version.
Adobe stalls HTML5
February 15th, 2010
There’s been a lot of talk about Adobe and HTML5 as of late, and now it’s surfaced that Adobe is trying to put a hold on the HTML5 spec and prevent it from being published.
Adobe along with other big companies sit on the W3C, which is an organization that is organizing and publishing standards to be used in web design. It seems that their objection is to a part of HTML5 spec (canvas) that allows people to create animated graphics similar to effects that can be achieved with Flash. It’s something that has gotten considerably less attention than the video elements of HTML5 which allow websites like YouTube to show videos without using Adobe’s Flash. That’s possibly why Adobe is objecting to it, they can object to it and hope it doesn’t get the same amount of media attention that an object to the video element would raise.

Check out this demo of Square Up, a new service for small business owners to take credit and debit payments with. They don’t call them smartphones for nothing.
Day of the Tablet (Part 2)
January 28th, 2010
So the Apple tablet has come and gone, I’ve had some time to digest and think about the announcement of the iPad and feel that I’m now ready to share my feelings on it. I think like many others I was disappointed with the announcement of the Apple iPad.
After some thought I feel that the biggest failure in yesterday’s presentation was the actual presentation itself. I wrote in my post yesterday that the iPhone was so big that the Apple tablet would need to eclipse that in order for this event to be a success in the press. I referenced Empire Strikes Back in that post and I think it was a fantastic example. The first time you say that film and discovered Darth Vader was Luke’s father, it was Earth shattering, it changed all the rules. It’s how a sequel is done, it washes away everything from the first film and leaves you altered.
