Tiny Tower fans, Nimblebit has released Pocket Planes! I dare say that this is much more fun than Tiny Tower, and recommend you all get it.

Anyone know if there is a limit to the number of people in a crew in Pocket Planes? Couldn't find anything that said otherwise, and if everyone here teams up it would be easy to win the 1000 bux in the Flight Crew events.

I changed my crew name to Calgarypuck, and suggest you do as well.

I changed mine, but it said it wasn't available. Not sure if it worked.

I'm going to start a pocket planes thread, so we don't clog this up.

Didn't want to start a new thread, and I have only browsed this one so I hope it hasn't been covered!

I've been searching for an app to send songs to other iphone users by bluetooth or wifi. A google search only got me to being able to do it with a jailbroken phone.

I have bump for sending pics and such but I'd like to do the same thing with songs. If there isn't one I can see why but just wondering if there is such an animal.

Firefox Junior for iPad

This actually looks really cool if you can get past the annoying presentation. In fact, I suggest starting at the 3:10 mark if you're interested in avoiding some pain.

Speaking of Tiny Tower, I shamefully think I finished the game. I have all 100 business fully staffed by 300 bitizens all working their dream jobs. So sad.

For any MTG nerds out there... Wizards of the Coast released their Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 for the iPad. I haven't played MTG at all since my AD&D days in Lethbridge 16 years ago, but this is actually pretty cool (in terms of replicating the gameplay).

Do you have to know how to play Magic to play this game or is there a tutorial included?

I don't know how the game works but if it's anything like that card game in the video game "Rage" I think I'll enjoy it.

Can you actually build your own decks in that, or are you playing with pre-made decks? For me the deck-building was always as much fun as playing, and just using pre-existing decks takes a lot out of the game.
nevermind, found my own answer. Just pre-existing decks.

If they're smart, and I'm sure they are, they'll update the game to allow you to build decks and they'll have in-app purchases to buy packs of cards.

It's Atari's 40th birthday today! If you have the Atari's Greatest Hits app, then upgrade to the latest version and you can download all the games for free. This offer is only good for today only (June 27, 2012) and if you delete or reinstall the game, you lose access. So I guess it means you don't own the game but you can play them as long as you keep them.

If it is anything like the PC version for 2011, which I have no doubt it would be, you win premade decks and can add card to that deck from a predetermined selection of appropriate cards, by winning them in matches against the computer.

If you want full customization of decks, you need to play MTG:O.

Chrome is now available for the iPhone and iPad. Seems pretty decent. I never had issues with Safari but I'll give it a try if only for the syncing of my Chrome bookmarks.
