TiPb Birthday Bash Mothers Day Special: Appigo Apps + Griffin Clarifi Case

Entering this contest counts as an entry in TiPb’s Birthday Bash grand-prize draw for an Unlocked ColorWare iPhone 3G!

This is actually tomorrow’s contest, but since that means many of us will be busy celebrating — or being celebrated — we’re bumping it up to give everyone a little head start. And to help all of us out, those remarkable folks over at Appigo were gracious enough to let us give away a few of their remarkable apps:

• Todo is a powerful tool that makes task management simple and fun. Use Todo by itself or synchronize your tasks to the web or your desktop using a popular online todo list like Toodledo or Remember The Milk (Pro account required for RTM). Todo helps you focus on what matters most and allows you to integrate the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology or your own. ($9.99 - iTunes link)

• Notebook gives you quick and easy access to your notes anywhere. Use Notebook by itself or synchronize your notes to the web using Toodledo.com, a free online service for notes and tasks. Capture your thoughts and ideas anywhere, categorize them, and synchronize them for safe keeping. Later on, you can browse by Notebook or search all notes by entering key words in the search field. ($4.99 - iTunes link)

• AccuFuel™ Fuel Efficiency Tracker makes monitoring your vehicle’s fuel efficiency simple and fun. Is your SUV guzzling gasoline? Is your hybrid saving you money? With AccuFuel, you’ll instantly see how your driving habits affect your fuel efficiency. ($0.99 - iTunes link)

And because the TiPb Store wants to make moms happy too, they’re throwing in a Griffin Clarifi Case:

• Slide the Clarifi lens into place over the built-in lens of your iPhone 3G. Your macro and close-up shots are instantly finer in detail, more accurate in color. With Clarifi’s lens, your iPhone 3G can image an entire business card with astounding clarity. Slide the lens aside for normal photography. Without Clarifi, the iPhone 3G requires about 18 inches to focus properly. Slide Clarifi’s lens into place and you can move in to 4 inches for crisp detail and great pictures.

How to win? Because we know you’ll be busy, we’re keeping this simple. Just head on over to our How Are You Making Mom Happy thread on the forums, and give us your top three (3) to-do’s for mother’s day.

Do that, and we’ll give one of you the case and all three apps. Runner up will still get all three apps. And because Appigo knows how hard it can be to take proper care of moms, four more of you will still get Appigo Todo and Accufuel!

So what are you waiting for, go tell us your top 3 funny, sweet, sentimental, sensational, silly to-do’s for Mothers Day!

• Must have access to US App Store to redeem Promo Codes.
• Must have US mailing address for accessory prize (sorry, no international shipping).
• Contest starts now and ends Sunday, May 10, 11:59pm EDT.
• 1 big prize of 3 Appigo apps + Griffin Clarifi case
• 1 runner up prize of 3 Appigo apps
• 4 consolation prizes of Todo and Accufuel

TiPb Picks of the Week: Need for Speed, Weather Channel, Tiger Woods, MMA Torch, MYST, Star Defense

Every week a few of us from team TiPb, bloggers and forum crew alike, will bring you our current favorite, funnest, most useful App Store apps, WebApps, jailbreak apps, even the occasional accessory, web site, or desktop app if the mood strikes us. As long as they’re iPhone (or iPod touch) related, they’re fair game.

So who’s on deck this week and what are our picks? Find out after the break!

Chad’s Pick: Need for Speed Underground

Wow. By far the best graphics of any racing game on the iPhone. Easy controls, car customizations and different racing scenarios make this one a winner in my book. It may be a little pricey at $9.99 for some, but I consider this to be the FIRST console-quality game for the iPhone; a must buy for any iPhone gamer! [$9.99 - iTunes link]

Chris’ Pick: The Weather Channel

I am currently on vacation at the beach, and have been using The Weather Channel app to keep an eye on the weather. Keeping an eye on rain, heat index, and humidity are useful when planning the day. It’s great to get more information that just the temperatures that are provided with the default weather app. [Free - iTunes link]

James’ Pick: Tiger Woods PGA Tour

I am a golf fanatic. I love video games. I buy Tiger Woods for my Xbox 360 the day each new version is released. I am completely addicted. I purchased Tiger Woods for the iPhone the day it was released and it is worth every penny. Fluid game play with great graphics. The ability to save a game and continue where you left off. You can even customize your player. Quite possible the perfect game for the iPhone! [$9.99 - iTunes link]

Jeremy’s Pick: MMA Torch

Best Mixed Martial Arts application in the App Store. Get all the latest mma news as it’s updated daily. [Free - iTunes link]

Leanna’s Pick: MYST

Who remembers the best selling game Myst from 1993? Well, now you can spend those hours sifting through clues and solving puzzles all over again! The developers remade Myst for iPhone and the sound and graphics are absolutely stunning. This is a game you don’t want to miss! [ $5.99 - iTunes link]

Matt’s Pick: MYST

Having been playing this game for the past couple of weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it. Many of you will probably know this game, some of you may not. For those of you who don’t , MYST is a complex puzzle game in which you must find a way of a deserted island/world. The footprint of the game is somewhat large, but worth it (about 720MB.) I really liked the sound the game provided, as they didn’t go short on sound design. I rarely felt like there was repetition in sound, which can be a drawback for other games. [$5.99 - iTunes link]

Rene’s Pick: Star Defense

I’m not much of a gamer. And I’ve never played any type of tower defense game before. So when ngmoco asked me to be part of their pre-release press tournament for their latest game, Star Defense, I said “no!” Or I should have, since saying yes likely resulted in exquisitely public humiliation. But here’s the thing — I had a blast playing it. It’s gorgeously designed, wonderfully interactively, and joyfully addictive. Even though I got my butt kicked across the Twitterverse in the tournament, now that it’s over, I’m going buy the release version just to keep on playing it. [TBA - Website link]

Your Pick?

You’re part of team TiPb too, so what’s your pick? What app was your absolute fav last week? Let us — and everyone — know in the comments!

Apple’s Ultimatum to Developers: New and Existing iPhone Apps must be Compatible with iPhone OS 3.0

EA releases Star Trek Game for iPhone

EA has just released a Star Trek game for the iPhone/iPod touch and its available now. Star Trek, while nice looking enough in these screens, looks to be a pretty standard shooter. You steer the Enterprise with the accelerometer, tap the screen to fire and, if you live, watch Mr. Spock and Captain Kirk embrace after, [...]

Tip - Rebooting the iPhone sometimes can avoid lots of headaches

The iPhone is a powerful device, running a very powerful mobile operating system. There are over 35,000 apps for the iPhone by now – and many of them offer stunning graphics, effects, and sheer power on a smartphone device. So it’s hard for some people to admit that the powerful, wonderful iPhone sometimes needs a [...]

Missouri School of Journalism’s iPhone “requirement” a clever interpretation of financial aid rules

Here's an interesting new mandate for all of Missouri School of Jounalism's incoming freshman: equip themselves with iPhones and iPod touches. Actually, let's go ahead and clarify what "mandate" means here, as associate dean Brian Brooks has stated that no one will a be punished for not buying / owning one. While noting the audio recording and playback capabilities were motivation for this decision, he explains the reason it's classified as a requirement is because it lets students include it in their financial need estimate -- wholly beneficial when you're figuring out scholarships and loans. It doens't look like there'll be any direct discounts from U of M, however, unlike some other schools with similar initiatives. It's a clever loophole, to be sure, but we'd wager there's more than a few undergraduates who are none too pleased at the Apple favoritism, and to be honest, we love nothing more right now than imagining a large group of S60 and Zune supporters gathering in a field for frisbee, picnic, and lots of protesting.

Dominate the leaderboard on your quest to earn WordFu Belts and become a true WordFu Grand Master. Once no worldly man can defeat you, play Shaolin Style for the highest WordFu challenge!

• Rolando: Rolandoland has been invaded and the Rolandos need your help! Use innovative tilt, tap and Multi-Touch controls to solve physics puzzles, toy with interactive environments, and evade pesky enemies as you lead the Rolandos to victory.

But wait, there’s one more thing!

Apple Sings to NIN’s Tune: Rejected Service Update of iPhone App Approved ‘Unchanged’

T-Mobile provides support, good vibes to its iPhone-using clientele

Despite not being its official US carrier, T-Mobile still seems to wanna maintain an amicable relationship with all those who came over with an iPhone in tow. According to a report by The Consumerist, a recent update to the carrier's voicemail system caused some of the smartphones, including Apple's touchscreens, became unusable, with a volley of blank text messages dated from the future arriving instead. Those who contacted customer service were called later to acknowledge the issue and offered an one month service credit. Said the rep, "T-Mobile, though they do not offer the iPhone, and that they are committed to supporting users on their network who have them" -- not too surprising a stance, but a kind gesture for sure. The problem has since been fixed, and everyone lived happily ever after.
