They're an up-and-comer in the online dating space and markets their service as a Social Networking dating site.

    Ivyskin has announced their forthcoming line of T2 Hard Cases for the iPhone. Their goal was to provide the protection of a hard case without interfering with the usability of the touchscreen. The Standard T2 is a simple plastic case that fits snugly around the iPhone leaving only the ports and the button exposed.

    Super Monkey Ball Coming for iPhone on the go | Comments Off
    Sega has announced that they're working on a release of the popular gaming series Super Monkey Ball that is targeted for the iPhone. I can't imagine a better game to make use of the accelerometer built into the iPhone and iPod Touch to help roll your monkey through dangerous levels while collecting bananas and other bonuses. This is also one of the best 'casual games' from the console world, so hopefully it will be well executed on the mobile platform. iPhone gaming might just be a hot trend as developers get a chance to release their iPhone SDK applications. We've already ...

    Touchscreen Gaming: CrazyKart for iPhone on the go | Comments Off
    French mobile gaming developers Int13 have released a preview of their upcoming iPhone touchscreen release CrazyKart which is slated for July. Apparently the game was originally developed for Windows Mobile and Synbian, and they're in the process of porting it to run on the iPhone. This game includes multiple vehicles and characters and the ability to download more options from the web. The interesting thing to me is seeing what looks like a really usable interface for touchscreen gaming. There has been a lot of buzz surrounding mobile gaming on the iPhone since the SDK release. I think the real ...
