Solitaire!!

If you've checked the Top 100 Free Apps chart in the iTunes AppStore in the past couple days, you might have noticed an app that was slowly making its way up the charts.  This morning it was at #5.  Yes, it is our free Solitaire app, which slowly gained momentum at the beginning of the week before it shot up the charts!

I just wanted to take the time to thank all of you for supporting our app and getting Solitaire to break the Top 5!  When there are over 100,000 apps in the AppStore, all of your support is extremely appreciated and we absolutely could not have done it without you guys!

Here's a screenshot from AppShopper.com of how Solitaire has been doing recently.  As you can see, as of this morning, it's jumped seven spots up to #5.  How high do you think we can get it?


Let's get Solitaire to #1!!

iPad Madness!

So unless you have been living been under a rock in 2010, you have obviously heard of the iPad, Apple's first attempt at developing a tablet computer.  After months of speculation, Apple finally announced on January 27th, 2010 they were indeed going forward and releasing the iPad in a matter of months.

After Apple's announcement, they were immediately met with mixed reactions.  There were those who loved the gigantic interface and software and gushed over the possibilities of how applications, pictures, and videos,s would look on the iPad, while there were others who slammed the idea, calling it just a larger "iPhone or iPod touch," and criticized the lack of a webcam or Flash capability.

Last Friday on March 12th, 2010, Apple officially announced it would be taking preorders.   Needless to say, regardless of what kind of reception the iPad received when it was announced, it sure could sell.

On the first day of preorders, within a matter of two hours, 51,000 iPad orders were received.  In six hours, 90,000 iPad orders were received!  A blogger named Deagol who monitored some of the order numbers estimates that over 100,000 orders were received in the first ten hours!

Is it the very generous $499 price that's grabbing all these people's attention, or do people just want a piece of this revolutionary piece of technology?  Maybe a combination of both?  Are you going to get one?

Anyway, if you decide that a regular iPad isn’t for you, you could always settle for one of these.

Technology these days...

Technology is absolutely ridiculous these days.  I'm sure many of you have realized that already, especially in the past few years, with the introduction of tiny laptops, cell phones the size of credit cards, and electric sports cars.  Is there anything technology can't do?

It's scary to think that if somebody can think up an idea, then there's somebody else out there who has the resources to make it happen.

This past week, I stumbled upon a couple things that I found especially intriguing and to tell you the truth, a little frightening.
