I love uni sudoku on the iPad. On the iPhone it's decent (shines on the iPad though).

You do not need to be a Rogers cust to order either.
Very hot deal for iPhone 4 owners. Griffin Carbon look case, 3 screen protectors, and bluetooth headset for 20 + gst. Free shipping too from rogers. I have the screen protectors and case already, and paid about $50 for them at a rogers store. The case is very robust.

this is worth it just for the bluetooth, nevermind the case and screen protectors. thanks for the heads up

Do NOT update Twitter for iPhone if you use that app for twitter. You will likely hate it within 60 seconds of starting it up.

There's a new ugly bar at the top of the timeline which shows trending topics, specifically featured ones. (ie. Advertising) It's black and really stands out in a bad way.

Also, for those who care, you have to use twitter's url shortening service now. There's no more selection available.

The new photo attaching feature is really nice though.

Agreed. I updated it on my phone but luckily did not on my Mac.

Twizzler (removes the spammy new "trends bar" or "quickbar") is now out for free in Cydia, please RT!

From ChPWN (creator) on Twitter

This fixes the new crappy update to Twitter

Big mistake adding that quickbar. Nobody likes it. Good thing I still have the old version on my PC

Gameloft with a bunch of HD/iPad games for $0.99 each:

UNO HD, Spider-Man: Total Mayhem HD, Shrek Kart HD, The Settlers HD, Iron Man 2 for iPad, Real Golf 2011 HD and Brothers in Arms 2: Global Front HD.

(It'll be less than 7 bucks this time Pylon . . . )

EDIT: Some overlap with what they did previously, I think Settlers, Golf, Spiderman, Ironman are new.

The official Twitter for iPhone app was updated last week to version 3.3. The major addition was the inclusion of the “Quick Bar”, this gave you a quick look at what’s currently trending based on your location. However, some users were complaining that their app crashed after updating… but now version 3.3.1 has been pushed out. The main upgrade is a fix for the crashing issues, security fixes and improved performance for those with several accounts. The total upgrade is 6.1MB and is available in the App Store.

Important to note that the quick bar no longer overlays tweets, which makes it slightly more bareable.

I can take the quickbar now. I've never had a problem with sponsored tweets or the like, but the overlay was a terrible idea. I like how they've altered it.

I downloaded GarageBand for my iPad. Only played around on it for a few mins but what a great app. I could very well see myself wasting a lot of time on it. $4.99 well spent.

Shaw's VOD app has just been updated. Major UX overhaul, much of which has my fingerprints all over it.

I'd love to get feedback on the app, and if there are things you like to see added to it, please let us know via feedback within the app, or call in. It only gives us developers more reason to try and push to add those features.

And to answer the obvious question, no it doesn't control your PVR or stream

Please provide constructive feedback from within the app.. I'm really serious, we can compile the list of wants to help convince others of priorities.
