Finally, everyone who purchases Tap Tap Revenge: Metallica will be entered to win cool stuff, including the grand prize of a trip to Las Vegas for the show there on December 5, including airfare, hotel, tickets (duh!) and meet and greet passes. Click here for more info about the contest.
Tap Tap Revenge: Metallica is priced at $4.99 at U.S. iTunes App Store.
The second Metallica sanctioned app is Live Metallica app (Metallica news item).
In our ongoing efforts to be of service and give you as many options as possible in the digital era, we asked the brainiacs that help us out with LiveMetallica.com to come up with a super cool iPhone application that creates a streaming interface to your LiveMetallica account. In non-tech talk, that means that any show you have downloaded from the site will automatically stream to your iPhone once you launch the $.99 app. And the bonus is that the latest show on the site will always be streaming for free!

iPhone 3GS: The First Seven Days June 27, 2009
Posted by very in : Announcement, Apple, Applications, Apps, iPhone, Media, Music, News, Resources, Reviews, Tech , add a commentiPhone 3G S officially went on sale on Friday June 19th, 2009. Three days later, Steve Jobs is reported to clock in for work for the first time after his medical leave of absence. Strangely, the iPhone 3G S was renamed to iPhone 3GS on the same day. From this then on, it shall be known as iPhone 3GS.
Things that I discovered after using iPhone 3GS for the first seven days:
- The iPhone 3GS in general is much faster than the iPhone and iPhone 3G.
- iPhone 3GS renders a considerably complex web page faster on 3G than iPhone/iPhone 3G on a Wi-Fi. I was on a fast network. This shows the processing power of the iPhone 3GS CPU. This makes web-browsing a much more pleasant experience on iPhone 3GS.
- I really like the “tap-to-focus” feature. This is one feature that should be implemented in digital camera and camcorders.
- I never cared for recording video using any phones before. Now I can’t stop using it on the iPhone 3GS. OK, I was wrong before.
- The Compass doesn’t work well in the car. Too much electromagnetic interference.
- Battery life is noticeably better than the iPhone 3G.
- There are still some lags when switching from landscape to portrait and vice-versa. Could it be the hardware design that caused this?
- The speaker is noticeably louder.
- Voice Control works well with the phone but not with the iPod function.
- Physically iPhone 3GS is identical with iPhone 3G, so all the cases and screen protectors can be used with both.
