iPhone Apps Announced: Super Monkey Ball, Loopt, Pangea games
During today's Worldwide Developers Conference keynote, Apple showed off some of the applications that have been developed using the iPhone Software Development Kit. We've highlighted some apps of interest here.
Sega Super Monkey Ball
Initially previewed at the SDK launch, Super Monkey Ball now includes over 100 levels. In playing through the last world, Sega demonstrated how they used the iPhone's accelerometer to control the movement of the character.
Loopt
Loopt is described as location-aware social networking. The app displays a map with pins representing where your friends are. User profiles can show a log of where you've gone and its simple to blog, send in a photo, text, or call your friends.
Pangea Games
Pangea Software has ported 2 games to the iPhone. The first game is Enigmo, which is a physics-based game and makes advanced use of the touch controls as well as the CPU. The second game is Cro-Mag Rally, described as a "cave-man racing game." Both applications are priced at $9.99.
Band
Garageband in your pocket? Kind of... An independent developer, MooCowMusic from the UK developed Band that includes a virtual piano, drums, 12-bar blues "instrument", and a bass. All of the instruments sound very impressive and what you play can be recorded.

I can't wait to try these games out!!! I'm a great fan of all of Pangea's game, and played them all since Power Pete. They have so many creative ideas... never since Mario Kart 64 did I play a racing game that was as purely fun as Cro-Mag Rally.

He said: "We're going to talk about iPhone this morning". Bertrand will talk about OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard "after lunch".
I was hoping for a new MacBook Pro but I'm losing that hope now...

There's always the "One More Thing..."
But I doubt a new laptop or desktop Mac.

That was pointless, all those people expecting something to do with a computer.
The only worth while thing to come from that two hours is we got confirmation about "Snow Leopard".
THe price cut is also welcome though.

The Inquirer refers to Apple as the fruity toy maker. Maybe Apple will flog the hardware biz to somebody who is interested in producing a full line of computers for the worlds greatest operating system. Computers that get upgraded with the latest hardware advancements as soon as they are available at competitive industry prices. :rolleyes: Is that really asking too much ?

wait... so when does the app store come out?
I'm wondering the same thing. Do we have to wait until July like we do for the 2.0 upgrade? :rolleyes:
