These are the applications I like. They contain humour and also offer some ‘replayability’. I’m talking about an application that must have been fun for Apple as well to approve it in the App Store. It’s called “Wind OS”. Even the name is fun (hopefully the developer doesn’t get involved in a lawsuit with Microsoft, because of it). The app costs $0,99, so what does it offer?

It seems the free version of Tap Tap Revenge 3 is a huge success. During the first 24 hours the game was downloaded 300.000 times, Tapulous confirms. The success was so big that Tapulous even had to disable the online function because the servers couldn’t handle the stress. A few days ago Tapulous decided to sell their game for free. It was $0,99 before, but the success of the game was so big that the In-App Purchases were enough to keep earning big money.

If you ride your bicycle a lot, it may be handy to have an iPhone with the application “Pedal Brain”. The app is said to be more precise than tracking-applications like “Map My Ride” and “Runkeeper Pro”. Pedal Brain reads data from special devices that use the ANT+ protocol. It’s not a cheap solution, because you need the ANT+ sensor AND the Pedal Brain Synapse-holder that can be attached to your bicycle. This is going to cost you something between $130 to $190 and will be available in the bike shop March next year. » “Pedal Brain”: A Cycling Computer, Training Website And Coaching Platform

If you don’t want to buy specially made gloves to control your iPhone with your gloves on, you can also get the new application from Cydia. The app is called “GlovePod” and enables you to control the music buttons from your lockscreen. By pressing the volume buttons and the snooze button you can go to the next song, pause or play. When you press the snooze button shortly you pause the music. Press again and the song continues playing.
