Touch ‘n Go: Magic Pictures HD – touching photography
Tobias Thomsch may be an artist, but his business sense is keen. Cervo Media hooked up with Tobias in outing Magic Pictures HD, an entertainment app that gets you in touch with art and the artist. I’ve been playing around with Magic Pictures HD for a few days and have formed a very terse opinion of it as a unique, if quieting digital experience.

WeeMee Avatar Creator in Review – amazingly creative avatar creator!
Everybody uses avatars. Whether you IM, troll forums, or even comment on this review, social networking avatars are everywhere. That little image is your greeting to the world. For some, avatars are just small images of their real selves, for others they are used to show their love or support for various things. Whatever the case may be, we all use them – that is unless you want to blend into the background. The WeeMee Avatar Creator that we announced in February is a great avatar creator that’s been getting some much-deserved attention.
Brushes for iPad makes speed portraits possible
Kudos to DaringFireball for finding this lovely example of how the iPad can be used for content creation. The portrait, which used Steve Sprang’s Brushes, took 3 hours, but this YouTube video has mercifully been sped up to a blinding 10 minutes. While not exactly DIY, the works of artists like David Kassan and Michael Koerbel are inspiring in other ways.
For reference, check out TouchMyApps’ review of Brushes for the iPhone.

Make Coffee with your iPhone – real coffee coming soon
Thanks to the blokes and blokets at Yanko Design, The App Machine’s visions for a darker, richer future have been netted. I’ve only recently turned to lord coffee myself, but already I realise how important the Italian software house’s brainchild is. Today, Make Coffee is just an entertainment app, but tomorrow it could have a real wireless coffee maker to match.

Pocket Devil: Hell Yeah! in Review – Ripping-off Pocket God MUST be a sin!
Pocket God appeared a little more than a year ago and provided users of the iPhone with quite an original pastime – scoffing at a bunch of defenceless islanders, wreaking all sorts of havoc on the island and basically making their lives miserable. Since its original release, the developers have stayed true to their promise and released an update roughly every 2 or 3 weeks with added content. And when I saw Eyedip’s Pocket Devil, I immediately thought – “Hey, this must be a sequel – I have to check it out!” Oh, how wrong was I! Feel free to discuss this review of Pocket Devil in our forums.
Turn your Ex into a Zombie with Zombiebooth
 |  |
MotionPortrait Inc, the bright minds behind the unique and innovative photo apps PhotoSpeak and HourFace, have taken their photo-to-animation technology and created ZombieBooth. With ZombieBooth, you can turn yourself or family/friends into blood-thirsting zombies:
MotionPortrait’s cutting-edge technology takes a still photo and turns it into a living, breathing 3D movie that snaps and bays for brains right there on the iPhone screen.
Once you’ve selected your desired image from the camera roll, your “victim” will soon be turned into a 3D model of a zombie. You can then interact with your new friend by dragging a finger around the screen and even let him/her/it take a nibble or two! If you enjoyed MotionPortraits’ previous apps or always wondered what kind of zombie your ex would make, ZombieBooth is certainly worth a look. Video and more info after the gap.

Top App of the World: Sex Positions Game – 18+ comes up to third place!
Woohoo! Sex Positions, a ‘game’ rife with bathroom-door drawings explaining how to get off with at least one other person has sprung up to 1.99$, a price which is doing well to sell the ‘game’. Its cute drawings have the App Store all up and saluting! How do you do!? Apple’s recent ban-dana targeted then de-targeted anything sexy, innuendo-saturated, or which looks like a catalogue. Then they brought things back and now it is a mystery. MountainDev have a nice little humpy dosh below their silky sheeted covers thanks to Apple’s ad hoc sex conspiracy. Anyway, congrats MountainDev on reaching the upper echelons of Apple’s App Store! Sex Positions Game also comes FREE, so you can take the dare for a little less off the top.

App Store Boner! Sex Positions Game – 18+ Free
It ain't my fantasy, I swear!
After getting a rise out of yanking risque apps such as iWobble, Sex Positions Game – 18+ Free springs onto the scene. Let it be known though, that Sex Positions Game is as much a game as Russian Roulette, except infinitely less final, though that isn’t to say that it too won’t be rubbed from the App Store. Apple have made many horny moves since in impregnating its device with the App Store, but this is one of the most memorable. Right, so maybe because Sex Positions Game doesn’t employ pictures of humans going at it, or real nudity, it is okay. But in the meantime, why have apps which have NOTHING to do with sex been pulled? No need to get all hot ‘n bothered here – Apple have totally boned their own pooch here. Get it while it’s hot!
