Filed under: iPhone , iPod touch , App Review The idea behind Set , the now-classic card/puzzle game, can be mind-numbingly difficult to explain. Some people just can’t wrap their heads around the “all the same or all different concept.” Of course, some people get it right away. For both types, the new Set app [$2.99] for the iPhone and iPod touch is a fine challenge, even if it’s not perfect in all aspects

Unfortunately, those fans may be disappointed to hear that Iris’ developer, Nolobe, has suspended development on the app . Nolobe’s principal Matthew Drayton says that back in 2007, when Iris started development, there were no cheap yet quality image editors, and nowadays, the app has simply become a “me too” app.

It’s the month where beer turns green , where the road repair crews start taking over the midwest of the United States, and when Apple usually announces its Worldwide Developers’ Conference dates.

Filed under: iPad The Wall Street Journal has written that Apple is scrambling to get everything ready for the iPad’s release on April 3rd — not only has it already “sold hundreds of thousands of the device, [according to] people familiar with the matter,” but Apple is also working hard to try and “nail down” several big content deals with television companies, having put their original drive for print media on hold for the moment.

The inevitable destination of the eye-searing display in the 27-inch iMac has always been a standalone monitor, a bigger brother to the quite lonely 24-inch LED Cinema Display . It’s codenamed K59, and supposedly coming in June.

Filed under: App Review PhotoAvatar (US $.99) is a remarkable iPhone/iPod touch novelty app from the makers of HourFace , an app I liked quite a lot when I reviewed it a few months ago.
