New App Store Updates for the Week

26.05.2009
Apple's app store has received a couple of new, interesting updates this week ranging from games to a very cool messaging app.'

First up though is the Apple version of the all-time classic adventure game, Myst. The game costs US$5.99 (Rs. 300 approx.) and has been developed by Cyan Worlds, the developers of the original game. The game recreates the entire original experience as players get to explore a beautiful but mysterious island and uncover its shocking past. Take a look at www.itunes.com/apps/myst

Another app to consider is OffMaps that costs $2.99 (Rs. 150 approx.). This application lets you access maps and waypoints even when your phone is without data coverage by giving you the option of pre-loading the areas you are interested in so that they are cached for offline viewing. Check it out at www.itunes.com/apps/offmaps

The final app is something which every person addicted to messaging on his iPhone would probably want. The app is called Email 'n Walk, costs $0.99 (Rs. 50 approx.) and lets you walk and type out a message or an e-mail at the same time without you losing sight of where you are walking. It does this by using the phone's camera to constantly show what's ahead of you, effectively turning the phone 'transparent,' as you are typing out your message. You can download it from www.itunes.com/apps/emailnwalk.
