AppsReal Racing 2 Now Available On The Mac App Store
Firemint’s hit iPhone and iPad game, Real Racing 2, has launched on the Mac App Store. The game features the same campaign mode, tracks and cars as the iPhone and iPad versions but also allows you to optionally use an iPhone or iPad as a controller, which is pretty damn cool.
The game’s description:
“The most critically-acclaimed iOS racing game comes to the Mac Store! Featuring visually-stunning graphics and state-of-the-art handling, experience the excitement, competition and glory of authentic championship racing with Real Racing 2.
BURN RUBBER ON YOUR MAC!
Take control of the wheel with your iPhone or iPad – or use your Mac to steer your way to first place!”It is great seeing this type of thing finally happening on the Mac. Just a year ago, it was almost unheard of for an iPhone developer to port their app to the Mac. Now it seems to be happening more and more. Games like Grand Theft Auto III, BioShock, and Call of Duty are already in the AppStore.

AppsKindle for iOS updated with magazine, PDF, and newspaper support
Amazon has updated its Kindle application for iOS devices with support for PDF files, newspaper and magazine subscriptions. A Kindle user can now email a file to his or her Send-to-Kindle address and then access it from within the application, or import it from iTunes or Mobile Safari. Amazon also added support for viewing more than 400 newspaper and magazine subscriptions inside the application.
The UI for reading periodicals was completely redesigned for the iPad, allowing readers to peruse the periodicals in an elegant and intuitive fashion. The iPhone and iPod touch app also features a redesigned library for quick access to the Newsstand, Kindle Books and Docs. Ars Technica noticed however, that The New York Times (which is one of the most subscribed to Kindle periodicals) currently limits its subscriptions to hardware Kindle devices only, which means anyone who pays for a subscription to that newspaper may have trouble loading it on an iOS device. This is likely because The NY Times already has an app of their own that they want people to subscribe to.
The update is live now and is available for free from the iTunes App Store.

AppsNetflix brings new UI to its iPad App
If you have been using Netflix on your iPad, you will know that the UI is atrocious. Well that is now in the past. The app has been updated with the same new look that the Android tablet app got a few weeks ago. The entire interface has been optimized for touch, relying on a scrolling collection of movie / TV posters laid out in horizontal strips by genre. The streamlined design is much simpler, which makes browsing much easier. It looks like there is still no option to manage your DVD queue on the iPad, but we need not be too picky. This is better than it was, because it was just a version of the crappy Netflix Web site.

Apple AppsApple Releases GarageBand for iPhone and iPod Touch
Here’s a welcome surprise, Apple has released versions of its popular GarageBand app for both the iPhone and the iPod Touch. When it was released for the iPad, GarageBand was touted as an amazing step forward in touch technology. It was one of the things that distinguished the iPad from the competition, and in fact no other tablet is responsive enough still to run that complicated of an application. The real good news? If you bought it for the iPad, the iPhone version is included as the app is a universal binary. If you haven’t bought it for the iPad, you can get it for $4.99 from the AppStore.

Apps ReviewReview: Twittelator Neue for iPhone
If you didn’t know, I am obsessed with Twitter. I love Twitter more than I love food. I don’t go anywhere without at least one way to connect to my Twitter base. That being said it should be quite obvious that I am obsessed with Twitter apps as well. I’m kind of a Twitter app snob, in that I am very picky. I only like certain things. However, my habits have changed quite a bit over the last year. I used to insist that a Twitter app remember timeline position, have TwitLonger, use Bit.ly, just to name a few of my requirements. That is the reason why for the longest time I hated TweetDeck. I couldn’t stand that it wouldn’t remember timeline position. Now that the iOS version of TweetDeck does remember it, I have started using it both on my phones and the Mac. It really has changed the way I use Twitter. I have TweetDeck open on my Mac and just watch the tweets go by, and use it to post status updates. On the phone I use it to go through and read all the tweets I miss, reply to those tweets, and make sure I haven’t missed anything.
As addicted as I have become to TweetDeck, I still try out every new Twitter app. Twittelator Neue is one of the newest, and it has been met with some great reviews and a lot of hype. Is it good enough to get me off my TweetDeck? Jump past the break to find out.
