A couple of months ago, Illusion Labs revealed their new upcoming iOS title Touchgrind BMX by way of a very nice looking trailer. Touchgrind BMX is a follow-up of sorts to their� highly popular skateboarding title Touchgrind [$4.99/HD] that made waves on the App Store way back in November of 2008 for it's fantastic graphics and excellent use of multitouch.

Touchgrind BMX is a similar title in that you'll be using multitouch to pull off tricks in object-filled environments, though obviously using a bike rather than a skateboard. Also, the game uses a nice behind-the-bike view, rather than the strictly top-down view of Touchgrind, which is a welcome change and allows you to get a much better perspective on the action.

Another cool feature in Touchgrind BMX will be the ability to create HD replays of your runs and then export them to your computer or upload them to YouTube to share with the world. The developer has put together this little teaser video which shows an example of a replay from the game:

We have learned that Illusion Labs submitted Touchgrind BMX last week, and that the game will be available this Thursday the 26th for $4.99. It will run on all devices except the very first generation iPhone or iPod touch, but it is recommended for 3rd generation devices and up. No word yet on if an iPad version of the game is planned.

Touchgrind was one of the first iOS titles that really opened my eyes to how impressive multitouch technology is on my device, and as a huge fan of that game I'm really excited to check out Touchgrind BMX. There's a discussion thread for the game going in our forums, and we'll definitely be taking a look at Touchgrind BMX when it hits later this week.

Japan's largest telecom operator NTT Docomo just revealed its plans for the summer by announcing 24 new devices. These phones cover almost any kind of usage a person might have or want and gives them unparalleled choice. Android Gingerbread is the operating system of choice on 8 of the devices. The camera phone segment has been pushed up a notch by the 6 devices on offer with cameras ranging from 12 to a whopping 16 megapixels.

Especially for the ladies there is a Swarovsky crystals wrapped phone. �From the 24 devices announced , we think the Galaxy SII , Aquos SH-12C , Optimus Bright , Xperia Acro deserve special mention for bringing extremely innovative features and designs. There is also LOOX F-07C , the world's first phone to dual boot Windows 7 and Symbian. Suffice it to say that NTT Docomo's customers are going to be spoilt for choice.
