New Word Warp High Score!!

Hello again everybody!  Hope you all have been well.  Looking forward to summer yet? 

Anyway, last month we started a gallery on our Word Warp Facebook page consisting of all of our user-submitted high scores for Word Warp, inviting everybody to send their high scores to us so that we could include everybody.  Also, people have always been wondering what the all time high score for Word Warp is.  For a long time, James Ryan, from Austin, Texas, was the current Word Warp champ with a score of 1,500,000 when he bested his previous high score of 1,000,000 points. 

That is, until Caesar Munene sent his high score in.

Exciting news!

It's fun to be recognized, even better when it's for a good thing. Yes, it's been a while since our last update, but we're back and it's nice to know that a lot of you guys haven’t forgotten about us! So 148Apps.com, a website dedicated to reviews and news regarding iPhone and iPod Touch applications, just came out with their 148 All Time Top iPhone Apps, and we're extremely excited! Why?

Games on the iPad?

So you didn't think with the iPad coming out, we would just kick back and see how it would revolutionize the world, did you?  Well I would certainly hope not!  Of course, we've been working feverishly for the past couple weeks cranking out some of our more popular apps to work for the iPad.  So you may or may not know that all games playable on the iPhone and the iPod touch will be playable on the iPad as well, but it may not look as good because it will be pixelated.

Therefore, it gives me great pleasure to announce that we will be releasing three apps just for the iPad, playable in HIGH DEFINITION on the beautiful 9.7 inch screen.

First, our wildly successful Solitaire game (the free version of which was most recently #3 on the App Store's Top 100 Free Apps) will be available!  Go get "Solitaire for iPad"

Second, our extremely popular Blackjack game (currently #1 on Apple's Top Free Apps in the Casino category) will also be available!  Check out "Blackjack for iPad"

Third, our Freecell game will also be available in high definition on the iPad's beautiful screen.  You can get "Freecell for iPad" also.
 

So when the iPad gets released tomorrow, make sure you swoop in on these apps!  Let us know what you think!

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.

Death Spiral Launch Party Contest

Hey, I just wanted to fill you in on how our Death Spiral Launch Party Contest was coming along.  We saw that Word Warp Xtreme was a HIT at Macworld, and we invited all those who stopped by to check out the Launch Party contest.  I can already tell a lot of you have been practicing!
