Angry Birds Star Wars — Gameplay Video

Rovio released the first game­play video of Angry Birds Star Wars. Birds using lightsabers and the force? It seems to change the game­play prin­ciple of the ori­ginal ver­sion a bit. We’ll see how well it fares when it is released on November 8.

Apple Store app on iOS devices

Apple just released the Apple Store app — a new app for iOS devices (though not a uni­ver­sal applic­a­tion). The new app is essen­tially a hub for the Apple Stores busi­ness (be it online or retail). For now it is only avail­able in the US App Store. Update:  It seems you can pre-order an iPhone 4 through the app. Update 2: […]

This is an example of good mar­ket­ing show­ing how the App Store busi­ness is going. No charts and num­bers in sight, just good ol’ time and visual perception. Nice.

A few iPad Apps’ UI

For all of us out­side the U.S.A., here’s a video about sev­eral iPad apps’ user inter­face. We can see how some developers are inter­pret­ing the iPad plat­form user exper­i­ence. Though the video is about a “top 10″ iPad apps, I don’t think user inter­faces are mater­ial for a top any­thing (unless on a per­sonal review like this one) since […]

iPad Apps starting to appear in the App Store

Apple star­ted open­ing the pub­lic gates on iPad apps. Until now some of them were only avail­able to selec­ted press colum­nists that got to review pre-released ver­sions of the device.
