Our long national nightmare is at an end! Trucks & Skulls — Appy Entertainment’s high-octane physics-based puzzler for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad — has been submitted to Apple! We’d hoped to be finished on Friday, but a series of vexing bugs kept us working through the weekend. By the middle of this week, we [...]

Did you hear the rumble of distant artillery this morning? The living room right now is a no-man’s land of standards and cables, universally poor and inconsistent user interfaces, huge numbers of channels, multiple boxes of hardware, hated cable companies, and multiple video game systems, each with its own proprietary hardware and expensive software.

One of our favorite games — the excellent Plants vs. Zombies from PopCap Games — is now available in the App Store. We played the PC version of this title to death and have eagerly followed its progress toward today’s release as an iPhone app. We think everyone should go out and buy Plants vs. [...]

Apple will announce earnings today, and later this week Moses will reveal his latest tablet (actually it’s Steve Jobs, but there’s scant difference at this point), so you’ll be awash in news from Cupertino. Overlooked in the rush, as always, will be the iPod touch, and its importance both to Apple’s bottom line and the [...]
