iPhone UK

Hudson Entertainment has released Aqua Forest for the iPhone, available at the App Store. The game will cost iPhone users $7.99 and users will turn the iPhone to get fluid from one container to the other. The game relies on a physics engine and basic drawing tools. There are five categories and each category contains 10 puzzles. Each puzzle will teach users how the game’s physics engine works and introduce them to tilting puzzles, puzzles that require touching specific areas in order to complete tasks, drawing, warm and cool physics challenges and a set of all capabilities combined.

There has, over the past several months, been skepticism as to the arrival of the iPhone 3G in the UK. Despite the verification of price cuts, many customers are still concerned that they are going to actually be paying more for the new iPhone than they would have paid previously. Comparing the terms of the standard iPhone 8GB that costs £35 a month, many customers feel that they could indeed be looking at a much better deal with the new version. The bill for owning the new 3G iPhone will come to £729 over 18 months. When compared to the £899 that many spent for the first edition iPhone in the same time period, it is a significant price cut.

Neverball for the iPhone and iPhone 3G has been released and appears now in the App Store. The part puzzle part action game allows users to control a ball in an attempt to collect coins that will enable them to pass to the next levels. The ball is controlled by tilting the iPhone. The game features colorful graphics and interesting levels and is available for those iPhone users who have Big Boss apps in the Installer.app Sources. Neverball for iPhone takes up 7.5 MB and it is recommended that users download the application on a Wi-Fi connection.

Although the specifics were not given, wireless carrier O2 has announced that they will offer a “pay as you go” contract option later this year. Per an article in Macworld UK, the lack of this type of contract so far has been cited as one of the reasons that many more UK mobile phone users have not yet purchased an iPhone. Though the option seems to be welcome news for many users, the current priority seems to be dealing with subscription customers first. An official statement from retailer Carphone Warehouse announced that the iPhone 3G “pay as you go” contract will be in place sometime before Christmas.

Apple’s App Store has opened and there are many applications for iPhone and iPod touch users to experience. There are nearly 27 pages of programs with 21 applications on each page. The total application count was 551 at launch. Now the App Store is showing about 800 applications in total. Many of the applications available are games and approximately 200 of the applications are free to download.
Apple has stated that there were more than 10 million downloads in total from the App Store in the first few days after the launch.
Steve Jobs stated that “Developers have created some extraordinary applications, and the App Store can wirelessly deliver them to every iPhone and iPod touch user instantly.”
Jobs also stated that it took 74 days for the first one million original iPhones to be sold. The new 3G iPhone has already sold one million copies just days after its release.
