App Cube: Geeky cube that combines mobile apps and Rubik's Cube

We already saw that robots can solve Rubik's Cube without any problems, and if you enjoy solving Rubik's Cube as well, you might be interested in this geeky version of this popular toy.


If you enjoy in puzzles, such as Rubik's Cube, and you have a thing about mobile apps, App Cube is perfect for you. App Cube works just like the regular Rubik's Cube, but unlike the standard puzzle, App Cube doesn't use that plain colors, instead, App Cube uses icons of some of the most popular smartphone apps. We have to admit that App Cube looks amazing, and it's the perfect combination of a great puzzle game and technology, but despite its refreshing looks, App Cube doesn't have much to offer, it's just a good old Rubik's Cube with a new skin.

App Cube is looks great, but sadly, there's no information about release date or pricing, but we hope to see this geeky cube someday soon.

Sega Sale: 'Sonic,' 'Monkey Ball,' And Many Others

1:26 PM

Posted by best

One thing about this week: you'll save some money if you're looking to stock up for a big drive or just content to use as "Ignore Family" fuel. The worldwide leaders of Sonic games, for example, is holding a fairly comprehensive sale, so if you were in the mood for a, uh ... more historic afternoon of App Store appreciation, then get your download fingers ready.

The big ticket items, as usual whenever Sega holds a sale, are its Sonic series games. It seems like the general fan audience is mixed on the quality of these, but at prices like one dollar, it's hard to feel too conned by the much-beloved, yet also heatedly criticized publisher. Also, of note? The oft-featured�Monkey Ball games have been lowered to a buck.

'King of Dragon Pass' iPad Screenshot Surfaces; Universal Update Confirmed

Even though King of Dragon Pass [$9.99] is one of the nichiest (is that a word?) niche titles that has been released lately, I just can't get enough of it. It's been over two months since our review, and I'm still working towards ascending to the position of king. I love how different each play through is, too. I've lost count of how many times I've needed to reboot my tribe, but each time I've taken a different approach and was met with a substantially different outcome.

The one exception to this is the duck people. They're always jerks, and a few weeks ago I started a "relentlessly murder all ducks" policy that has been met with moderate success. KoDP players know what I'm talking about. Show no mercy.

Anyway, the one thing that I mentioned in our review that I really wish the game had was universal compatibility. These massive text-based games I want to be playing kicked back with my iPad, not hunched over my phone. In a recent blog post, the developers confirmed that the original game will in fact become universal in a future update. (Previously, they were undecided on a universal update or a separate HD version.) Unsurprisingly, the iPad version of the game is going to feature much less scrolling, and better yet, the crazy art that accompanies so much of the game won't be obscured by so much text like it is on the iPhone.

No word on release yet, as the same post mentions that the update hasn't been through any kind of QA yet, but it's still reassuring to know that it's in the pipeline and that it will be universal. Seriously though, check out our review if you haven't. King of Dragon Pass most certainly isn't a game for everyone, but if it hooks you, it won't let go.

Pico projector prototype lets you have interactive phone calls

Pico projectors are great, and if you're fan of pico projectors and smartphones, you'll probably be interested in the latest concept that allows you to use pico projector for interactive phone calls.

Researches from University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, have designed a new concept that combines smartphones and pico projectors, allowing you to make interactive phone calls and share data while on the phone. During the call, pico projector projects picture onto the surface and one side of the projected image represents your phone's interface, while the other side belongs to the person you're talking to. What makes this concept so special is the ability to share data simply by dragging and dropping files onto each other's screens, and in order to make this process as simple as possible, both screens are updated in real time, so you can see changes instantly.

Although this concept looks amazing, the pico projector that is used looks rather bulky, but we hope that folks behind this project will find a way to make this device slimmer in the future.
