Geeked-Out: Walking iPhone Robot (sort of)

by Chad Lakkis on October 18, 2008

Do you hate missing a call because your phone is a few feet away and you just don’t feel like getting up to answer it? This man feels your pain.

Silicon Valley software engineer and aspiring inventor, Kazu Terasaki, is attempting to give his iPhone a pair of legs to go with it’s massive collection of apps. The contraption, in it’s current state, is more of a misguided crawl than a walk, but it has promise.

Soon, we’ll all be able to eat Cheesy Poofs and play World of Warcraft without so much as shifting a butt cheek, while our personal robots go to work and cater to our every need. In the mean time, let’s root for Kazu, so we never have to go AFK to answer our iPhone ever again.

Hit the jump to see the walking iPhone robot feet in action. Read more…

Armin Heinrich has created an application for use on the iPhone called “I Am Rich”.  What’s it do?  Absolutely nothing except put a glowing red gem on your screen.  Oh, and it also shows that you are either a total douchebag or a complete idiot because the damn thing costs $1000.

Somebody apparently didn’t think it was all that cool of an app, however, as it is now gone from the iTunes App Store.  So, did the creator make any money? Read more…

iYo: Power Your iPhone with a Yo-Yo

by Dan Landis on September 23, 2008

Swedish inventor and assumed iPhone owner, Peter Huvander, created the iYo to power his phone though the long Swedish winter.  Because of the lack of light during the dark season (really?), Huvander needed to find a solution to his inability to harness the sun’s power.  Mine would have been to just plug it in.

If you want to play Tetris (or a game that looks and plays just like it) on your Apple iPhone for free, then you had better hurry to the App Store and download it soon.

The makes of the real Tetris game contacted Apple regarding “Tris”, a blatant knock off of the classic puzzle game, asking that it be removed. Read more…

Beyond Tetris: The Future of Mobile Games

by Wade Larson on July 31, 2008

Sega isn’t one of the top four mobile developers, but they did have this early iPhone hit.

Mobile gaming is a growing industry. Better phones, better developers, and better quality games are contributing to an upward spiral of quality cell phone gaming. And according to media analyst Screen Digest, the top four developers of mobile phone games are tightening their grip on the market.

EA Mobile, Gameloft, Glu and THQ Wireless saw their collective shares of the global market double from 11 percent to 22 percent in 2007, and the figure is rising steadily. Read more…

Sure it does other stuff … but does the “other stuff” really matter?

Do you long to play World of Warcraft on your lunch break, in the rest room in between meetings, at your desk when your boss isn’t looking … or maybe your boss is the one in his office with the door shut playing it on his new iPhone right now. Read more…
