TouchMyApps is giving away 5 copies of Gamevil’s Zenonia, a premier iDevice RGP that needs no introduction. Since its release back in May, Zenonia has been one of the most sought after and well-liked titles at the App Store, with plenty of review sites and gamers alike proclaiming it a “must buy”. Young, TMA’s review guru had this to say about Zenonia:
Zenonia is a must-not-miss game that deserves a space on everyone’s iDevice front page. Gamevil surprised me at how much they can pack into one game in such a small device. I’ll say it here and now, Zenonia is definitely worth its price.

Ten companies who control ninety-percent of the European smartphone market have agreed to standardise in/out ports in order to drastically reduce thousands of tonnes of waste generated each when phones are upgraded. Adamant that such waste was unnecessary, the EU Industry Commissioner Guenter Verheugen says the EU will back the micro-USB standard in an effort that will likely have a ‘knock-on effect’ in the rest of the world.

App programming isn’t all about brainstorming the great idea; at the heart of every great dictionary, mapping, game and productivity app out there, is code that someone wrote. You can hire that person, register with Apple, send your app for approval and hope for the best, or, as Appliya suggest, let them do the work for you. Obviously, Appliya are banking on this interesting service becoming a big success - their tools, marketing and service at your disposal may mean an exponential increase of customers. This development-service offered by the Tokyo-based company is unique indeed.

Oxford is not only a strong name in language dictionaries; its influence extends heavily into reference titles that can be found online or at your local book shoppe in both hard and paper back editions. UK-based White Park Bay Software (WPB), have brought 11 pivotal references to the App Store. The set includes: Music, Law, Philosophy, Politics, Finance and Banking, Concise Medical, Computing, Chemistry, Business Management, Biology and Accounting. Each shares a similar GUI, navigation and content display system and work consistently with the iPhone design ethic, but at the high price of 14.99$ per app, is the content worth the cost?

In light of recent news, it is only fitting that another hardcore app, Firemint seamy, unapproved racer is barred from the App Store. Like Allen Leung’s Hottest Girls which should return armed with beefier bikinis and fewer nipple shots, Firemint have a hard-core version of their racer that likely won’t fit Apple’s stringent approval system.
The skinny? The ‘tech demo’ as it is dubbed, features more rubber, more steam and a greater affinity for crashes and dangerous situations - it is simply that hard-core. (video after the jump)

Google does Canadian!
Every year around the 1st of July, an important holiday struggles for press amidst all the heavy drinking. This year and for as long as I can remember, Canada Day has been 1 July. Well, it is time to break out the firecrackers and Alexander Keith’s, Moosehead and for the soft, Molson Canadian Lager. For the expats, download some Red Green Show, Little Mosque on the Prairie or relive the Billy Bob CBC interview for a good ol’ Canadian refresher course.
If you are not familiar, Canada is a country that sits just above the USA, in between Russia, Santa’s home, and wreckage of the Titanic. We are proud of our land, some of our musicians, most of our actors and nearly none of our politicians. If you are planning to visit, you may want to brush up on our two official languages: Canadian and Quebecan - both dialects grown far from their mother countries across the Atlantic and smoothly accented by salmon and poutine.

I’ll admit to being a little slow. Or perhaps I’ve just made the sad mistake of comparing myself to the nearly wired-from-birth kids of today - a reason that helps me delight in 13-year-old Scott Campbell’s decision to slum it with Sony’s now archaic original Walkman for a few days. My first cassette tape player nearly fit in the overly baggy sk8tr jeans of my 14-year-old self; the fact that one leg of my jeans could swallow my entirep waist unfortunately didn’t help the tape player to comfortably fit into a pocket. Nearly everyone over 20 is likely to have at least held one of these for a few minutes. But a hallowed few have owned and collected cassette tape players, debated their sound quality in forums and still promote the classic portable platform. Scott, on the other hand, had no idea there was another side to a cassette tape!
