TUAW's Daily App: World of Goo

by Mike Schramm (Apr 14th, 2011)

Let's be honest here, ... you probably already know all about World of Goo. You know it's an excellent little physics puzzler from 2D Boy, and honestly, you probably already bought it, considering that it sold better on the iPad than any other platform and has even been seen in the Humble Indie ...

TUAW's Daily App: Drawn: The Painted Tower

by Mike Schramm (Mar 14th, 2011)

A little while back at GDC, I was introduced to a market for games that I'd never known much about before. There is a whole ecosystem of casual game companies out there that make PC games that appeal to an audience outside of the usual gaming crowd (read: usually older and female). Big Fish ...

by Kelly Hodgkins (Feb 24th, 2011)

Along with the launch of its new MacBook Pros, which include FaceTime HD cameras, Apple has released an updated version of its FaceTime application. The new FaceTime for Mac lets you send and receive 720p HD video calls on supported Intel Macs. The standard iSight cameras on previous Mac ...

id games has released the iPhone version of Rage in two different versions, both SD and HD, available right now universally for the iPhone and the iPad. TUAW spoke with John Carmack this afternoon, and he said that the HD version is about twice as nice as the SD version: "All of the user interface ...

TUAW's Daily App: SteamBirds

by Mike Schramm (Nov 17th, 2010)

There are a lot of good strategy games from World War I, and there are some good combat games out there as well. But SteamBirds is an interesting combination of both. It's an air combat game that plays out in a 2D field turn-by-turn, so while you're simulating high-flying air combat, you're ...

Mac has Blu-ray envy in Microsoft ad

by David Quilty (Nov 13th, 2010)

Are Macs envious of Windows 7's ability to play Blu-ray discs? Microsoft seems to think so, as seen in this stop-motion web video highlighting a Windows 7 laptop computer and a jealous MacBook. The MacBook is blown away by the PC's ability to play a Blu-ray disc of Avatar, saying "it feels like ...

Microsoft joins Apple in stance against Blu-ray

by Mike Schramm (Sep 22nd, 2010)

Apple has a surprising ally in its campaign of apathy against Sony's Blu-ray disc format. Microsoft, of all companies, has also stepped out with a passive-aggressive stance against the standard, as UK head of Xbox gaming head Steven McGill says that "Blu-ray is going to be passed by as a format." He ...

TUAW's Daily App: Fruit Ninja

by Mike Schramm (Sep 17th, 2010)

We've covered Halfbrick's later game Monster Dash here in this space (and it's a good one -- I'm still giving it the occasional run-through on my iPhone), but their great Fruit Ninja title has never actually been given this particular spotlight. Let's fix that now. Fruit Ninja is a simple but ...

i(Pad) of the Tiger

by Mike Schramm (Aug 12th, 2010)

This is great! Photographer Jordan Hollender and musician Scott Harris put together this music video that covers Survivor's classic anthem and uses only iPad apps as instruments. The video itself was recorded with a couple of Canon HDSLR video cameras, but as you can see in the embedded version ...

Ducati creates a short film with the iPhone 4

by Mike Schramm (Jun 30th, 2010)

I have to eat my words -- despite my belief before launch that an iPhone 4 wouldn't be hard to find without a preorder, I'm still waiting to get the chance to buy one. But I got to play with another one last night (that screen!), and just like every other time I've had a chance to use it, I've ...

YouTube uploads from iPhone 4 are downsized

by Chris White (Jun 26th, 2010)

Updated 5:50pm: Commenters are right, emailing the video from your iPhone has the same size restriction. The original version of this post had the correct info, but an editing error mixed up the email limitation. Yesterday when we posted that iMovie for iPhone 4 was available on the App Store, we ...

iMovie for iPhone 4 is now available

by Michael Jones (Jun 24th, 2010)

iMovie for iPhone 4 arrived on the App Store tonight, just hours before the official 7:00am launch of the iPhone 4. As promised during the WWDC keynote, the iMovie app brings the ability to edit and share videos directly to the iPhone. From transitions to titles, to adding background music to your ...

Checking in on the iPhone 4's video quality

by Mike Schramm (Jun 23rd, 2010)

When the camera in the iPhone 4 was first announced, I thought sadly of my Flip MinoHD, and how I might never need it again. If my phone can do solid HD video recording, why should I carry another camera around, small as it may be? But can Apple's phone really deliver solid HD quality in video ...

WWDC 2010: Apple announces iMovie for iPhone 4

by Kelly Guimont (Jun 7th, 2010)

Today at WWDC, during the keynote address, one of the things Steve dropped upon us is the new camera in iPhone 4: Yeah, the 3G S did video, but the new camera does "full HD," at a sparkly 720p and 30fps. This means that little handheld video camera that's been on my Christmas list the last three ...

iPad 101: The easy way to get high-def videos onto iPhone or iPad

by Michael Rose (Apr 7th, 2010)

Even though the iPad has that HD feel, there are plenty of HD files it can't stomach -- the maximum resolution for videos to sync via iTunes is 720p, and anything higher (1080i or 1080p) simply won't transfer. On the iPhone and iPod touch, the upper limit is even tighter; those devices can only ...
