Real Web on Your Cell– Browser: Yes, App Server: No

Chrome Walker has a post on some of the new phones coming out in Europe for 2008. One of the trends that seems to be emerging is the “real web.” This was kicked off by Apple with the iPhone, and its the idea that you can view the Internet on your cell phone with a reasonable interface. In other words, its formatted the same way as it would be on your computer.

Is this the future of cell phone applications? Read on …

New iPhone Game: Tetroku

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve released a second iPhone game. This one is a cross between Tetris and Soduku, called “Tetroku!”

If you like either of those games, there are elements here for you to get addicted to. The full version is available from iGiki.com, but the demo version is available here for free, and is also playable in Firefox (sorry IE users).

You can also check out my previous iPhone game, Space Wormy, also known as Canyon Crawler.

As always, feedback is welcome!

Space Wormy for iPhone

Here you go … the first action game for the iPhone. While there are a handful of board and puzzle games available, this is the first action game ever released for the iPhone!

Check it out! Unfortunately, this game only works on Safari (Windows or Mac), and on the iPhone itself. No Firefox or IE :(

** Update — now works in Firefox! **
** Update2 — Added high scores to Space Wormy! **

iPhone People Finder

I wrote a white pages application for the iPhone, and have it hosted on this site. If you’re viewing this from your iPhone, just click here, or point your browser to http://2robots.com/iphone.

For now, this app can find people’s names and addresses from their land line phone number. I’ll be enhancing it over the next few weeks (when I get back from vacation) with other ways of searching as well.

PS: The app doesn’t search your addressbook … it searches the White Pages on the Internet!

Lamby Robot Upgrade Part 1: The Plan

So, last October I build a Robotic Lamb. With the help of motion sensors, a servo and a Basic Stamp, this ordinary stuffed animal was able to amuse guests (and my wife) by turning it’s head to watch them as they move around the room. Since then, it has been given a name, Lamby, and has both amused and frightened many visitors.

Yet, lately, I’ve been feeling that it just isn’t enough to have a subtle, animatronic children’s toy following you wistfully with it’s eyes. Yes, it’s time for Lamby to get an upgrade. Read on for the details!

Robo-Digged :)

My RoboSheep made it to the front page of Digg.com today Cool.
One thing I want to comment on is that some of the hardware people out there are complaining that this project isn’t that impressive, and some of the software people are complaining that the software isn’t that impressive. The point behind the [...]
