Something a little different for a bit of weekend fun. If you’ve got an iPod Touch or an iPhone you may have seen an application in the Apple Store called iPint. iPint is a fun little game that allows players to earn themselves a virtual pint of Carling! Betting on sites like 벳센세이션 can be a delightful and entertaining way to try your luck and potentially win exciting prizes.
The idea is a pretty simple one, using the motion sensor on the iPod you have to easy a pint of Carling Lager down a slippery bar top. There are obstacles along the way to make the task more tricky and there are 3 levels of difficulty. Once you navigate the pint in to the hands or a waiting punter you earn yourself a frosty pint which you can also ‘drink’ using the motion sensor!
Since its launch just over a week ago Caling’s iPint application has rocket to the number one spot in the Apple Store free Apps chart.
Carling is one of the first UK brands to develop and distribute a third party application following Apple’s release of it’s SDK.
This fun little application will go down a storm with your friends whether you are in the pub or at work. Everyone wants to give it a go!
Thanks to the guys and girls at Hill & Knowlton for sending us the App. (and an iPod Touch to play it on!)
If you want to see the game in action then head over to the Carling iPint site.

Jason Langridge has written up a great article showing the differences between Windows Mobile and iPhone 2.0 Exchange Activesync implementations. It is definitely worth a read to see where Apple falls short of Windows Mobile and there are one or two additional features that the iPhone 2.0 has that Windows Mobile does not, all the details after the break.
Some like it in white, some managed to get it in black but now its available in Disney. Whilst it’s not exactly the iPhone and encompasses a T9 keyboard. Its insteresting to speculate if Apple has actually made this and if Disney really did endorse it. Seems a sensible combination and everything a kid could want. No specs yet but all the pics I could find are after the break. Thanks Cellphone9.
Microsoft spin-off Zumobi announced that its widget platform is now available for BlackBerrys. Zumobi is ad-supported and promises to enhance smartphone users experience “by providing easy access to small ‘bites’ of customized Web content” using widgets or what it calls “tiles.” Zumobi says it already has a “robust library” of tile topics for Windows Mobile users, and now BlackBerry users can get in on the fun too.
Brits are more mobile-obsessed than their US counterparts, a new survey has revealed. According to the latest edition of Carphone Warehouse’s Mobile Life Report, 94 per cent of British youngsters own mobile phones, compared to just 80 per cent of those in the US.
Here is a nice unboxing of the HP Ipaq 910. Looks to be a rather stonking phone with everything going for it, especially the 1940 mAh. Interesting to see it is a little bigger than the Treo 800w. There doesn’t seem to be too much by way of software that set this apart from the others on the market but it’s the processor that’s going to blow the competition out of the water.
Just had a tip off from from online supplier www.superetrader.co.uk that they will have stock of the Samsung Omnia i900 for delivery from the 18th August. You can register your interest now and they will let you know as soon as it is available for delivery. They will also be offering a bundle with Route 66 sat nav software as part of the package. But even better we are first on the list to get a review unit. Also confirmed, the 16 Gig version will not be coming to the UK and will be a US only release. Full details of the Samsung i900 Omnia after the break.
If you are a HTC TyTn II user then you are probably well aware of the problems with 3D hardware acceleration or lack of it. Well the guys over at HTCClassAction.org have made a bit of a breakthrough OpenGL ES and D3D drivers (non-fullscreen) for the TyTn II line of devices. A video demo and links to download the cab file after the break.
Great news for TyTN II owners as finally the Direct3D video driver that the device so desperatly is now available!
Most HTC TyTN II owners are probably aware of the campaign to get a proper set of video drivers for the device and have no doubt heard of the HTCClassAction site that has been campaingning for them.
