iPhone Cruncher

When it comes to gaming devices no one does it better than Apple. With the much popularity of the iOS platform the iPhone has certainly made its name in the handheld gaming era. The one great challenge that would likely make games would be the limitations of the device. LastStandStan is a game that makes wonders playing in an iOS device. When you first start the game, you start of in a spacecraft in top down view, reminding you off the old Reagan-era top view shooters like Asteroid. By a simple tap on the screen your space shuttle will fire its weapon on the direction on which you are aiming. Tap the ship and you get to select an armament of weapons, shields and power-ups for your spacecraft. The game is pretty much cartoonish in terms of graphics but it is still fun to play with considering the game utilizes the iPhone’s gaming capacity. The game is illuminated with bright twinkling things with solid fields of color and hues. Each weapon is unique having its own set of fireworks to display with and unique enemy ship explosions making the game more entertaining and pleasure to kill boredom. The only drawback to the game would be the monotonous gameplay it has to offer. While the cool explosions and animations are good moving the ship once in a while would make it seem too repetitive. LastStandStan is still a fun game worth playing for casual gamers who would love retro-style game like Asteroids.

iPhone users can now protect sensitive core components of their iPhone devices, including personal and business contact information. Due to the lack of inherent encryption capabilities on most iPhones and the exposed weaknesses of iPhone 3GS encryption, personal contact information can easily be accessed from a lost, stolen or compromised device.

SMobile Systems‘ ContactCrypt 1.6 is now available on the iTunes App Store. The software application is built to encrypt sensitive personal and business data including contact names, home addresses, account numbers, phone numbers, e-mail addresses and other critical data stored in the Contacts section of the iPhone. While other iPhone App Store encryption applications simply provide a vault mechanism to store user passwords, ContactCrypt is the first, third-party security application on the App Store to specifically protect and encrypt core components of the iPhone operating system itself.

With the recent release of iPhone encryption for 3GS devices proven to be easily bypassed by numerous security experts, the release of ContactCrypt has become all the more critical.
