Seb Vettel may have already pretty much sewn up the Formula One driver's championship for this season, but for true F1 fans, the fun is only just beginning. F1 Challenge has just made its way to the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users, and with surprisingly few decent titles available to those who love the all-action, adrenaline-pumping nature of the world's most popular motor sport, it's something of a messiah. Catch the details, as well as the download link, after the break.
When it comes to RPGs, Final Fantasy may not be considered among the best like it once was, but the engrossing, almost iconic nature of the original Final Fantasy VII on the PlayStation continues to live on today. In what must go down as the most exciting news for FF fans in a good while now, Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy VI will be heading to iOS and Android later this year. Perhaps not surprising, especially given that Final Fantasy IV and V took their respective mobile bows not so long ago, but if you enjoy playing games on your iOS or Android smartphones and tablets, then you won't have to wait too long for Final Fantasy VI to arrive.
So at this point it's no secret that iOS 7 on the iPad isn't exactly as well baked as it could be. Apple started the beta process for the iPad version of iOS 7 later than it did on the iPhone and iPod touch, and many had expected it to launch later too. Instead, Apple brought iOS 7 into the public domain across all its mobile devices simultaneously, leaving those running the software on a tablet with plenty of bugs to work with.
As well as dropping a tidily updated Infuse version 1.5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users, creators FireCore have also taken the wraps off Infuse 2, which will be a free update for current users later on this year. As detailed in an official blog post on the matter, the app is in the process of being reworked from the ground up, and with an already impressive app that has yielded Infuse a steady army of fans, we sure cannot wait to see if version 2 lives up to the hype.
It has taken a fairly long time for Microsoft's Office suite to reach the mobile scene, and even though the launches for iOS and Android are now official, the Redmond company neglected to bring support for Apple's iPad right off the bat. Outgoing Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has assured iPad users that touch support for the larger displays of Apple's iDevice is forthcoming, adding that work is "in progress," and that users can still access Office Web Apps using their browser.
It had to be the worst kept secret in the technology industry, and just about anyone with even a passing interest in Apple or iPads already knew that it was on the cards, but Apple is indeed set to hold an iPad announcement event later this month according to AllThingsD.
The Beats Music brand has really taken the headphone and speaker market by storm, and while there are plenty of purists who would argue that the entire Beats product line is more about style than substance, there's no doubt that the foundations have well and truly been laid for a streaming music service. Speaking with The Next Web, a Beats executive has confirmed that an official iOS app is in the pipeline, and although an Android version, as well as a Web offering, will eventually become available, the release to the iTunes App Store is at the top of the company's agenda.
Microsoft has become the latest in a long list of large developers to update one of their native mobile apps for iOS 7. The Redmond company's latest update to the Skype app for iPhone and iPad is currently propagating its way through the App Store and brings the revamped and refreshed user-interface that we have come to expect from an iOS 7 app.
When it comes to gaming on mobile devices, there are now simply hundreds of thousands of options, and whether you like casual titles like Tiny Wings, or something more high-end such as Infinity Blade, both the App Store and Google's Play Store are like treasure troves packed to the gills with new and exciting content. Transport Tycoon is a fairly eagerly awaited title for the main two ecosystems, and if the thought of building up your own transportation empire really takes your fancy, then you'll be stoked to learn that it is now available to download for both iOS and Android. Details, as well as those download links, can be found right after the leap!
Google's stronghold in the digital music market may not be as strong as some of its competitors like Apple iTunes and Spotify, but the search giant continues to update and improve its Google Music service in order to compete with the big guns.
