FaceTime for Mac Demo

Today's post is about FaceTime for the Mac. It was announced on October at Apple's "Back to the Mac" event. Facetime is a video chat client that used to be mobile only. So, only an iPhone 4 and an iPod Touch 4th generation could use the service. But Apple has brought it back to the mac. Unfortunately for the PC users out there, Apple hasn't made the PC FaceTime client quite yet. I predict they will in the future. So, on FaceTime for Mac you can make calls from Mac to another Mac, Mac to iPhone 4, or Mac to iPod touch 4 over Wi-Fi. I think it's a pretty solid video chat service, but I think it has a little ways to go before it reaches it's full potential.

Top 5 Free iPod touch/iPhone Games

At the moment I have about 15 free games on my iPod touch. After playing them all for about two weeks, I will share with you my top 5 favorite free games for the iPhone/iPod touch

1. Backbreaker
Backbreaker is a football game with an arcade style. You use simple controls in the bottom corners of your screen to dodge opponents until you can score a touchdown. You get points for juking, spinning, and showboating when you near the end zone. I am currently addicted to this game and cannot put it down. I highly recommend downloading this game if you are into sports, or if you are just looking for a good game.

2. MazeFinger
Mazefinger is a simple maze game which is connected via the plus+ network. You use your fingers to move a ball through different mazes, and it gets harder as you go on. You are timed so you need to move quickly. You are given a rank after each maze you complete, the ranks you can get include: Awesome, Great, Good, Okay, and Weak. You are also given an overall rank after each level.

3. PapiJump
Simple, yet probably one of the funnest games out there. PapiJump lets you climb to the top with a small ball. You move the device from side to side in order to get the ball to move. Just don't let the ball fall. If you complete this, you will love PapiJump.

4. Paper Toss
Paper toss is exactly what the title says, you toss papers. You can choose different locations to do this, and all  you have to do is simply use your finger to throw the paper in one direction, and land it in the trash can. But there is a catch, a fan will be blowing your paper from one side of the room to the other. So you must adjust where you toss the paper to in order to get it in the can.

5. FallDown!
FallDown! is a simple game just like PapiJump, except it is in reverse order. You are trying to get the ball from the top to the bottom as fast as you can. You just lean the device side to side and try to get the ball to fall through the holes. But don't get too far behind, or it will be game over.

As always feel free to leave suggestions and comments for next time. And let me know your favorite iPhone/iPod Touch games. You can check me out on Twitter by clicking here.

Apple's New iPod touch

Apple's new iPod line has just rolled out today. They have three new iPods. They are the iPod touch, iPod nano and the iPod shuffle. I wll be talking about the iPod touch now. The iPod touch is a bit thinner than the iPod touch 3rd gen and has 2 cameras. With the front-facing camera you can now use FaceTime. The iPod touch also has the same Retina Diplay as the iPhone 4. The new iPod touch also uses the Apple A4 chip, so it can use the multitasking on iOS4. To top it off, Apple managed to get 40 hours of battery life in this thing. The prices stay the same. This is will be pretty successful, from my point of view.

MPMan to iPod. Ten Years of Progress.

The MPMan F10. 32 megabytes of storage. It cost me around 200 Irish pounds back in 1999. It was amazing. No CDs, no cassettes. Nothing. It took me a while to get my head around the concept.

Case-Mate Barely There Unboxing

Case-Mate, a popular case company, is currently holding a contest on FaceBook. This contest is where you refer 10 of your friends to Case-Mate. Once those ten friends become a fan of the page, you are prompted to get a free case. I chose the Barely There Case for iPod Touch 2g. This case was free, and it was definitely asking all my friends to like the Case-Mate page. 

I did not expect to get my case two days later. I got the free case confirmation email Wednesday night and I got it Saturday morning. I was extremely impressed that it shipped and arrived so quickly. That wasn't the only thing that impressed me.

The case included a bundle of extras, ranging from a screen protector, to a microfiber cloth, and a helpful squeegee. I applied the screen protector off camera as I am not that great at installing them, but this screen protector was so easy to install and now you can't see it at all. Its barely there! I will have full coverage of all of the case cons and pros in a future review. Check out more videos on my YouTube Channel.
