The Pirata Boat Race from Pirata London on Vimeo . Okay, the award for best use of an iPhone/iPod Touch in an online game goes to Pirata Boat Race by Pirata London. You can watch the video of it in the video here, and it is one of the most unique video games that I have ever seen. What happens is that the user syncs their iPhone with the website via the camera, or a code for the iPod Touch. After that, it is a matter of moving the virtual boat on a PC screen by rowing with the iPhone

An analyst research note Tuesday shed more light on what makes Apple’s iPhone 4 tick, noting that the recently released Samsung Wave S8500 smartphone uses the same central processing unit, or CPU, as the iPhone 4. The Apple A4 chip used in both the iPad and iPhone 4 is manufactured by Samsung, which has a longstanding “foundry” (chip manufacturing) relationship with Apple. On Tuesday, UBM TechInsights added some color to the dynamics of the Apple-Samsung collaboration by claiming that the Samsung Wave S8500 smartphone uses the same 1GHz core as the iPad and, by extension, the iPhone 4–which also uses the A4 processor. In general, this type of processor is referred to as an application processor and is one part of the overall design called a system-on-a-chip or SOC

If I had to guess, I suggest that very few readers of this blog would expect to come across a low quality image of an old Psion Series 5mx at the top of an article. Of course, we should never forget that Symbian, at the heart of so many modern Nokia devices, has its roots in the EPOC operating system running on the Psion palmtop devices, and that’s where this article begins.

The push for 3D may have started in the movie theaters, but it’s definitely a sensation that’s invading our living rooms. Whether you’re a fan or not probably doesn’t matter anymore (outside of your own living room, of course), because it doesn’t look like companies are slowing down any time soon. Sony , in fact, has just announced that they’ve got the largest array of 3D-capable devices on the market, which is bolstered by the fact that you can now pre-order your favorite BRAVIA 3D HDTV from their online store

Take one lesbian nun, a scythe, six upgradeable weapons, hordes of undead, and some of the smoothest visuals I have ever seen on the iPhone, and you’ve got yourself a solid $2.99 action title in the form of Twin Blades . If you’re into mindless zombie destruction coupled with incredibly stylish action (and don’t mind a bit, well, a lot of repetition), then Twin Blades will deliver in spades

Okay, this might be the coolest thing that I am going to see all day. It is essentially the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) running on an emulator, with an iPhone used as the controller. This application is built on ZodTTD’s emulator, the man who gave us the Playstation Emulator for Android devices . Yeah, apparently this is “coming soon” from Cydia . In order to get it, both your iPhone and iPad will need to be jailbroken

Section: Web , Web 2.0 / Social Networking Watch out bit.ly! Twitter announced yesterday that it has begun testing its own URL shortener. The company says it’s necessary to improve security and also to provide analytics for its Promoted Tweets service. A post on their blog explains how the service works: All links shared on Twitter.com or third-party apps will be wrapped with a t.co URL. A really long link such as http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446563048 might be wrapped as http://t.co/DRo0trj for display on SMS, but it could be displayed to web or application users as amazon.com/Delivering- or as the whole URL or page title. As of now the service is being tested on some employee accounts but Twitter plans to roll it out to users later this summer.

(Image courtesy Google) Detroit automakers Ford and GM both announced this week the coming availability of turn-by-turn directions in their vehicles courtesy of Google Maps. Ford will offer this convenience via SYNC technology (using the customers mobile phone) and GMs will arrive a la OnStar. Unfortunately this means the technology is only good so long as a cell signal remains. For those who find themselves EXTREMELY lost, I suggest making sure you bring along a boy scout or homing pigeon before leaving the connected realm. For me, I will continue to trust the latest satellite-based GPS navigation technology offered in most of the new vehicles and handheld devices on the market today
