We loved the Twitlonger for when we needed to say more than 140 characters to express ourselves. But in an update to Twitter for iPhone last year, support for twitlonger was removed completely. Bigarella has been working on the same idea for the all new shiny & glossy  Tweetbot client for iPhone & iPod touch. Pastie for tweetbot adds an extra button to the user-interface while you compose a tweet longer then 140 characters. If triggered, the tweet is sent to pastie and a link is posted with your partial tweet.

Here are some screenshots:

The tweak has been through all the development stages and the beta version is now in hands of the testers. You can download the beta version from Cydia via the iSpazio repo for free.

Pix’n Love Rush brings a retro style to the iPhone gaming world. Pix’n Love is packed with tons of content including, 125 levels to advance through and 7 skins to unlock as you play though the game. The fast paced game style pulls you in and keeps you interested. The game starts out fairly slow and speeds up as you advance through the levels. Each game session is timed in five minute intervals during which you have to collect as many positively marked dots as you can. Touching the negatively marked squares subtracts points from you total and as you advance through the game you are introduced to enemies which will take small amounts of your life away as you hit them. You also have projectiles that you can fire at enemies. The game moves pretty fast, testing your reaction time as you move up in levels. One of the main attractions of Pix’n Love Rush was the visual style. It’s very attractive to the eyes and is one of the main features of the game that kept us coming back again and again. The games latest update brings support for Apple’s game center allowing you to share scores with your friends. The game is not all perfect though. Small buttons that are positioned rather close to the edge of the screen make the game hard to play at times. Another small gripe was not being able to play in the orientation you like. The game only supports one landscape orientation, which makes it awkward to play when you have headphones plugged in. Other than that there isn’t much wrong with this app. The great music goes along with the art perfectly, and makes for a ton of entertainment.

Pros:

-Amazing art style
-Retina display support
-Great music
-Tons of content to keep you busy

Cons:

-Small Controls
-Locked Orientation

Price: $.99

Final Verdict: 4/5

I recently downloaded the VLC Remote app from the Apple App store, I opened it up and there was no set up required (if you already have the VLC application installed on your computer). So I opened up the VLC application on my computer and my iPod Touch, both have to be connected to the same wi-fi network. So I tried it out and it stayed connected to my computer the whole time and had a fast response time to the controls I inputted from my iPod Touch to my computer.
Bottom Line:
I personally think it worked better than the “Remote” App by Apple. It stayed connected the whole time and had a fast response time from when I inputted the controls from my iPod sent to my computer. Also has a very easy to use interface.

“Project Sword” is the codename of the all-new action role-playing adventure game exclusively for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch developed by Epic’s critically acclaimed studio, Chair Entertainment, creators of the Xbox LIVE Arcade games of the year “Undertow” and “Shadow Complex.” Scheduled for release later this year, “Project Sword” will bring unrivaled visual fidelity and a highly accessible gameplay experience to the iOS platform.

“This is a testament to the sheer power of iOS devices as up until now, Unreal Engine 3 has typically been used to create high-end gaming experiences on game consoles and computers,” said Epic Games President Dr. Michael Capps. “And we’re not just keeping it to ourselves. We’re putting Unreal Engine 3 technology into the hands of game developers all over the world, and we can’t wait to see the apps they make next.”

A small team of Epic’s programmers, artists and testers created “Epic Citadel” in just eight weeks of development time. Unreal Engine 3 is scalable yet packed with the same tools hundreds of thousands of users work with to create games, simulations and animated content. Features include:

• Amazing visuals. “Epic Citadel” pushes the envelope for stunning visuals on iOS devices. Through the latest advances in Unreal Engine 3 technology, the application delivers unrivaled graphics and special effects that immerse players in the kingdom’s grounds.
• Bump offset mapping. Also known as parallax mapping or relief mapping, bump offset mapping enhances the visual appearance of stone walls and rocks providing intricate textures.
• Normal mapped architecture. Brings stunning detail to bricks and ground surfaces within the environment.
• Texture blending with painted weight maps. Refines nuances on roads and terrain, making them rich and lifelike.
• Global illumination. Unreal Engine 3’s built-in global illumination system, Unreal Lightmass, provides realistic lighting and shadows with minimal development resources.
• Dynamic specular lighting with texture masks. Helps create authentic cobblestone roads and vivid reflective marble surfaces, while lens flares and light coronas add dramatic emphasis when panning across light sources.
• Real-time reflections and animation. Environment mapping enables real-time reflections on objects such as the statue inside the cathedral. Dynamic movements of trees and banners are made possible through the use of vertex deformation and skeletal animation.

Windows Live Messenger is Microsoft’s fourth (free) application for the iOS platform and was first shown at The Next Web conference earlier this year. Looks like the Windows Live Messenger app for iPhone has just hit the App Store – but it only landed in certain regions (iTunes link), just like Microsoft’s Bing for iPhone app.

The iOS app brings the new Windows Live Messenger Wave 4 features with it. Integration with Facebook, Flickr, Skydrive and other services.

As promised, Yoshi and I have been working on our future post, iFile 101. We envision it as a guide for those who wish to possess more knowledge and control of their iDevice. It is intended to enrich the understanding of those who have some, and open the floodgates for those who have none. It is our gift back to the community, our way of saying thanks to the all the Devs that gave the “special abilities” to our devices and especially to Carstein Heinelt, the creator of iFile. We wish it to be a trusted resource and intend it to be a work in progress. We will accept written and video contributions from those who wish to add content to iFile 101, upon approval of course, and we will take requests for updates to the guide.

To create this work, and to guide you through the steps to edit your Theme, Ringtones, use your device as a flash drive, etc., many screenshots will be needed, and it always helps to have the ability to point at what you are writing about. iWhiteboard was recently released on Cydia through BigBoss, and it will be used in the creation of iFile 101.

Here’s a few notes and hints about using iWhiteboard. There is no icon for iWhiteBoard, it launches via “Activator” which is accessed in your “Settings” app. I found the default setting of “shake device” to activate a bit aggravating, so I changed the activation method to button presses: volume down, then up. If you change the activation method, you will most likely want to chose “Anywhere” so that you can use this method on the springboard, lockscreen and in an app, otherwise you would have to assign it to a gesture for all three locations. Regardless of activation method, closing iWhiteboard is always done by a press of the home button.

Select "Anywhere" in Activator to assign a useful gesture to iWhiteBoard

To create a video, you can enable ScreenRecorder first, open the app or page and then enable iWhiteboard. To take a screenshot, simply activate iWhiteboard, then hit “Home” and “Power” at the same time.

iWhiteboard does not have many features, in fact there is only 4 color choices and one line size. Additionally, tapping twice to pull up the selection bar, and three times to clear is great, but sometimes the bar comes up when you are trying to write, or the line clears when you don’t want it too. It is just a bit too sensitive in this aspect. Also double tapping will put unwanted dots of color on your image, but it is simple and effective. In a future update, I would like to see the ability to go back one step or have an eraser.

I contacted the author and he just informed me of a future upgrade, here’s a sneak peak of features for version 1.2, coming soon!

–Imageshack 1 click upload

–1 click screenshot

–Dropbox support

–No more stray dot on double tap

–UI change

– thickness changable(possibly)

Look for iFile 101, Coming Soon! If you liked this post, or are interested in contributing to iFile 101 find me on Twitter @xsn0w.
