Free iPhone App: Chess with Friends

We recently wrote about the release of Chess with Friends (App Store, Free), a game which allows you to play Chess against anybody on your contact list, allowing you to make moves whenever it suits you.

When Chess with Friends was first released, it was only available in a handful of countries, due to Newtoy's servers only being able to handle contacts with 10-digit phonenumbers. As of this morning, however, Chess with Friends was added to all iTunes regions.

That's not all, though - Newtoy has also stated that they are changing the price of their Chess app from $4.99 to free, a move they say was motivated by seeing "the excitement that [their] '1000 free download' offer generated", preferring to "set the world on fire" before making a quick buck.

All in all, Chess for Friends is easily the most accessible and elegant form of Chess for the iPhone available, and it's now free. Yes please.

Apple HTML source reveals 'iPhone Extreme'

"This one's a stretch..." reports AppleInsider.

Um, yeah. Reporting on HTML code sightings of product names could be called a stretch, but iPhone Extreme has a ring to it.

Now, that sounds like the product Apple should have released first, rather than the now 30%-reduced, lawsuit-strapped original iPhone.

Let me guess. Extreme will have 3G, a better phone and a user-replaceable battery.

Maybe Apple should call the "iPhone Extreme" the "iPhone Legal".

All fun and games when in rumorville, eh?

Apple Newton to Be Reborn?

Interesting story on AppleInsider today about a new iteration of the Apple Newton rumored to be in the works. The Newton, of course, was ahead of its time--when it came out in 1993, it was still too big and bulky to be true handheld, and consumers weren't quite looking for such a device.

The AppleInsider piece cites insider sources, and provides some specs, too--the fabled Newton device would be 1.5 times the size of the iPhone, and would have a 720x480 display that fills much of the surface (I'm thinking along the lines of how the iPod Touch and iPhone are laid out). And, of course, it would use the multi-touch screen technology we've all become so familiar with since the iPhone's introduction this past summer.
