This is a sensible move by apple,which will allow parents to know upfront about the app providing such purchases within the apps,in order to avoid accidental purchases in the future.

[Rumored] Next installment of iPad – iPad 2 Plus

A new report from sources familiar with Apple’s iPad line-up says Apple may release a new iPad this year but not the iPad 3. This new model will showcase a new high-res display with much greater pixel density however will not be 3rd generation; it has been called at this time the “iPad 2 Plus”.

FBR Capital Markets analyst Craig Berger stated that based on his watch of Apple’s overseas supply chain, he can conclude that Apple could release an updated iPad 2, an “iPad 2 Plus,” this year. He was tipped that component makers have received quotes from Apple suggesting a device, however no shipment or schedule in this regard has been confirmed.

Berger mentioned that Apple’s migration could fix the iPad 2 Plus with a pixel density of 132 ppi to 250-300 ppi (ppi = pixels per square inch)(the current iPhone 4 is 336 ppi). Despite the certainty in his information, Berger cautions one from believing right off the bat that the iPad 2 Plus is a go. He himself would need to hear more information about the new hardware before “fully” believing Apple was migrating to this alternative.

Berger’s information goes contrary to recent reports about the iPad 3 releasing this year (September-October). If he is indeed correct, Apple may release an expansion to the iPad 2 with a higher-res display. Information regarding other possible features that could be placed on this “iPad 2 Plus” are unknown.

Review:
Priced at $1.99, it might not be appealing to all the consumers who are new to Colloquy’s Mac IRC Client, to go ahead and buy it.
Other than that, this app is the best IRC client out there.

Gold & Chocolate – iOS Game

Leave a reply

Game: Gold & Chocolate
Developer: Sergio Lopez
Publisher: Cocobic
Available for: iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad
Cost: $0.99

Every other week, in the iTunes App Store, we get to see a game or two which exceed the threshold of past games in terms of gameplay and graphics. I was lucky to come across a game just like that.

The Game:
You are supposed to tap on the monsters which you can only see when the comet goes through them. The comet starts to appear once you tilt the device in each level.

Review:
This is a simple concentration game with elegant graphics and a very original gameplay. With a total of 90 levels in a continuously moving, scrolling screen, the game gets tougher and tougher.
The sound track is soothing and doesn’t make you switch it off. For all you iPhone 4 owners, this game is available on Retina Display.
Priced at the usual $0.99, this game is a steal. I didn’t find a reason to give it any less marks.
