We are very excited bringing OpenFeint integration into Touch Attack, especially since many fans have been asking for global leader boards. If you have fast reflexes and a sharp memory let’s see how you rank against the world!

Touch Attack! Games is a collection of mini games that’ll test your reflexes and push your memorization skills to the limit. The gameplay is fast paced, the music is rockin’, and the replay value and level of customization truly set this game apart from any other of its genre. It’s simply the best iphone family game out there. You’ll win in-game tickets that can be traded-in to unlock additional themes, sound effects, music tracks, and last but not least, a third game (Match Attack).

Mac-Chi Announces Two iPhone Apps: WhoPaste and WhoP-G

Mac-Chi is proud to announce two iPhone apps: WhoPaste and WhoP-G. WhoPaste creates records in Apple’s Contact app, which runs on the iPhone. WhoP-G creates records in Google’s Contacts application, which runs in the cloud. iPhone users can copy text from any application and then launch either WhoPaste or WhoP-G both of which recognize company names, job titles, phone numbers, email addresses, urls, and postal addresses. The new contact is previewed allowing for editing any of the information.

When combined with the innovative Dragon Dictation app from Nuance Communications, both WhoPaste and WhoP-G allow iPhone users to create contacts by simply speaking the information. The Dragon Dictation app transcribes the user’s speech into text that can be put on the clipboard where WhoPaste can automatically extract the various data elements and create the contact record.

Both iPhone products are built from Mac-Chi’s desktop application. “Apple’s developer tools made this transition from desktop to mobile just plain painless.” explains Steve Cronin, CEO of Mac-Chi. “Basically we were able to button up the application logic from our Mac product and wrap it in an iPhone interface. Aside from supporting the initial mobile development, Apple’s unified approach allows us to move forward with a centralized application core. So now any improvements automatically flow to both the desktop and the mobile applications.”

iPhone OS 4.0 beta 3 brings new media controls, file sharing, more

iPhone OS 4.0 beta 3 is out, and there are some pretty juicy additions that Steve Jobs failed to mention when he took to the stage last month. BGR has been digging around the new release and has turned up not only an updated multitasking system – tweaked for quicker use – but media playback controls, file sharing with iTunes and an orientation lock.

The media playback controls appear in the new multitasking UI, and can be accessed with a left swipe gesture. Also the track-skip and play/pause there’s also a shortcut directly into the iPod app, together with the new screen rotation lock button. The latter, like the physical lock switch on the iPad, stops the iPhone’s screen flipping with the accelerometer.

As for file sharing, that’s a new pane in iTunes that allows you to copy over documents to your iPhone when it’s plugged in, or alternatively transfer them from the phone to the computer. Right now it’s apparently locked-down, but it does at least suggest that Apple are wising up to the fact that users want more flexibility with their mobile content.

[App Review] Super 7

Adobe today went on the passive aggressive when it launched their new ad campaign. "We Love Apple" the ad says, "What we don't love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the web".

The ad takes aim at Apple's war on Adobe's bread and butter, the Flash development platform and it's exclusion from the iPhone application development process to act as middleware.

Our pal Deb Aoki sent us a pic of the full page ad that Adobe took out in the San Francisco Chronicle today. Adobe also placed banner ads on Engadget. Ars Technica and The New York Times. iPad or iPhone folks probably can't see the ads since they are created in Flash and everyone knows (by now) that these devices can't... ah well you know. Edit: Looks like the ads show up on the iPhone and iPad, but they are just static images and not Flash animated.

But perhaps that's not who Adobe is targeting anyway.

It will be interesting to see if Apple will fire back, or if this ad campaign has any teeth at all. We're not exactly sure how the public will react to this, or if they'll even care. However, we do think that Mr. Jobs won't be pleased with this call out.

Check out a larger version of the ad after the break.
