Steve Jobs biography gets new title: 'Steve Jobs'

by Mike Schramm (Jul 5th, 2011)

"iSteve: The Book of Jobs" was the title originally ascribed to the very first authorized biography of Apple's head honcho, written and put together by Walter Isaacson. But according to CNNMoney, the title has changed. While the book's Amazon page now lists the title as the much more tame, ...

TUAW's Daily App: Tiny Tower

by Mike Schramm (Jun 23rd, 2011)

I actually played Tiny Tower for the first time back at GDC this year -- the guys at NimbleBit kindly showed me an early version of it while they were in the middle of designing the game. The title itself is now out and finished on the App Store, and after having played it for about a week ...

TUAW's Daily App: Winta

by Mike Schramm (Dec 14th, 2010)

I first covered Winta (styled WINtA on the App Store) back at GDC Online in October, and found it an enjoyable music game from the creator of Parappa the Rapper, Masaya Matsuura. It's a simple title -- different shapes appear on screen, and the player is meant to tap them in order, which ends up ...

iPhone image metadata hints at more cameras on the next iPhone

by Mike Schramm (May 14th, 2010)

Well, this is interesting. Our twitter follower @chenks points out that, hidden in the metadata of a picture taken with his OS 4.0-enabled iPhone, there is a title stating that the picture came from the phone's "Back Camera." Of course, if the phone currently has a back camera, there's a possibility ...

TUAW's Daily App: Raging Thunder 2

by Mike Schramm (May 4th, 2010)

Polarbit released Raging Thunder 2 a while back -- it's the sequel to their App Store launch title that's serving up solid racing on both the iPhone and the iPad. It's not the best pure racing game out there (Real Racing HD has gotten exposure, even in Apple stores, for that), but Raging Thunder ...

Chaos Rings and Sonic 2 out, Square Enix games on sale

by Mike Schramm (Apr 20th, 2010)

Square Enix has released their Chaos Rings game that we heard about a while ago. At US$13.99, it's one of the most expensive iPhone (not iPad -- yet) games you'll find, but the reviews are terrific so far. The game appears to be a classic Square Enix title, complete with great graphics, a deep ...

Flight Control HD live on the iPad

by Mike Schramm (Apr 2nd, 2010)

If there's a breakout game for the iPad already, it's probably Flight Control HD -- the game was announced a while ago (we talked about it with Firemint back at GDC), but the title has stayed in the top 10 pretty consistently since the iPad's App Store went live yesterday. Firemint has finally ...

New Square Enix RPG coming to the iPhone this year

by Mike Schramm (Mar 18th, 2010)

A job posting on a Japanese developer's site has hinted that Square Enix will be releasing a brand new RPG on the iPhone sometime later this year. Media.Vision has posted that they're seeking to fill a number of positions related to building an RPG on Apple's platform in conjunction with Square ...

TUAW at E3: Robocalypse: Mobile Mayhem for iPhone

by Mike Schramm (Jun 3rd, 2009)

I'm spending the week at E3, and while iPhone games are somewhat few and far between (odds are that we'll see most of the App Store's goods next week at WWDC), there are a few gems to find out on the floor. In the Vogster booth, I got to play Robocalypse: Mobile Mayhem. It was originally seen on ...

Tabs in the title bar: a UI design trend that needs to go

by Robert Palmer (Feb 26th, 2009)

Safari 4 Beta's new tab arrangement has me bothered. It seems to be largely lifted from Chrome's user interface that puts the tabs at the very top of the window. Not only is this a departure from Apple's typical UI choices, it presents problems for users with special needs. On your average Apple ...
