9 Best iPhone Games Apps 2011

Many attractive games you can find as features in the iPhone 2011. From the easiest to the most challenging one. I am so sure you love and have ever played, at least one of the games. Here is the list of 9 Best iPhone Games Apps 2011. Just play the games !

1. Angry Birds

• Dangerously addictive but deceptively simple, Angry Birds lets you employ cartoon birds as weaponized projectiles in an escalating war against a posse of egg-stealing green pigs. (Don't ask.) Revenge relies on vectors and basic principles of physics, but the gist is to use a slingshot to angle an 'angry bird' at the smug little pigs. The real challenge? Putting your phone down once you've started.
2. Scrabble

• Hasbro's iPhone app version of Scrabble might be even better than Grandpa's board version. You can match wits against the computer, against online opponents, or against your friends via Facebook. Scrabble pros can have up to 50 games going at once, while newbies will appreciate the game's learning tools, including a teacher mode and a cheater option, which allows the computer to choose the highest-score word for you.
3. Plants v. Zombies

• The thought of a zombie attack is enough to keep any sensible person up at night. But you know what's even scarier? Watching waves of zombies trampling your nicely manicured lawn. That national (or at least gardener's) nightmare is realized in Plants vs. Zombies, a perennial best-seller. Game rules? The zombies advance, you bombard them with any number of flora, including ears of corn and frozen watermelons. That's just common sense, right?
4. Doodle Jump

• One of the top-grossing apps of all time, Doodle Jump remains as compelling as ever. Tilt your phone to guide the adorably-long-snouted Doodler as he climbs a piece of graph paper, all the while dodging black holes, shooting monsters, and picking up goodies. Between the game's range of colorful winter, jungle, space and graveyard themes and its lack of a finish line, Doodle Jump is tough to quit.
5. Fruit Ninja
• Who knew that a Ninja's worst enemy could be fruit? Apparently, Halfbrick Studio, the developer of this popular game. Just swipe your finger to cleave flying fruit in two, ideally before they hit the ground. Oh, and keep a watch out for bombs; mistakenly slice one, and it's game over. The app is integrated with OpenFeint (so you can compete with your friends), and it's an ideal app for commuters or for those stuck in a slow-moving grocery store line.
6. Cut the Rope

• Angry Birds dominated the App Store in 2010, but Cut the Rope — an equally addictive puzzle-like game — gave it a run for its money at the end of the year. Featuring Om Nom — a wee green creature with none of the rage of the Angry Birds but all of the aww! factor — Cut the Rope requires players to maneuver a piece of hard candy through a maze of obstacles and rope-cutting, and into the open mouth of an eager Om Nom.
7. Pictureka

• It's either Where's Waldo? for the iPhone generation, or hell for anyone who has ever lost their keys in a messy room. Pictureka presents gamers with a screen cluttered with objects, and a list of things they must find (think five pieces of fruit, or six objects from space). Find them all before the clock runs out and get rewarded with. . . a new list. Trust us, it's more addictive than it sounds.
8. Wurdle

• With Wurdle, users spot then trace words from a grid of letters, acrostic-style, to see how many words they can make in a two-, three- or five-minute period. Stuck? Shake the phone to scramble the tiles, then get back to word hunting. At game's end the app will helpfully shame you with a list of all the words you missed, and also let you compare scores with friends or with other players online.
9. GeoDefense Swarm

• The principle is simple: Stop the creatures by blasting them with strategically-placed cannons before they reach your base. When it comes to the gameplay itself, things can quickly — but entertainingly — spiral out of control. (Before you know it, the casualty count will include your phone battery.) GeoDefense Swarm is easy enough for a child to play, but mastering it takes a nimble mind and even nimbler fingers.

Making Movies on iPhone and iPad

The iPad is a device of content consumption. Macintosh, in all its products- the tower, desktop or laptop - is the creation of content. We know that because Steve Jobs said.

Either he has changed his thinking or iPads 1 and 2 have developed their own ideas and we want to be the building units. And, yes, they are.

The spirit of the iPad, in this sense, the army of developers who are crowded into the iTunes App Store applications with the creative nature.

And Apple did, too.

Last week I talked about GarageBand, the creative application of the iPad, it's great to make music to be used for almost anything, from the background in iMovie to keep the neighbors awake.

Thus we come to the mobile version of iMovie, which appeared on the iPhone 4 and the latest iPod touch. If these screens are small, a remarkable work being done on them, not just record the video, but also for editing in a calendar is only a fraction of the width of a finger.

YouTube has loads of young amateur film made on the iPhone 4, a really nice quality. See examples here, here and here (see in high definition from the London Eye ferris wheel).

But not by Park Chan-Wook, director of one of the most famous films in South Korea, gong to shoot a commercial film, night fishing, iPhone 4 mysterious trailer for this production chilling horror of 30 minutes was also published.

The park used two cameras, a full-time iPhone 4, but after a while 'accessory lenses placed over the phone's camera. Shoot lasted 10 days, had 80 people in crews and pays $ 130,000, and probably will not be edited on the phone. How to make a Movie, we have yet to discover, but should be able to return to its price just out of curiosity value.

Another HD movies and this time Edited in iMovie HD on an iPhone 4 is Ride Hare, created by American Donovan Cook. It was not ordinary, but it was a walk in the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival this month. Watch it on YouTube.

Now if these people to use iMovie 2 iPad, things could have been even better. As apps go, iMovie is really strong. If you have iMovie ($ 5.99 from iTunes), iPhone 4, Update 2 version of the iPad is free.

Given the large screen iPad 2, Apple engineers have developed a new and improved user interface, although not a match for iMovie on a Mac, including Better than the iPhone 4.

Modified by tapping and stroking the screen with your finger is surprisingly accurate and easy, very intuitive. Press an image into the browser screen editing, drag to set the clips you want, drag it to the timeline and press to play in the control panels. If you do not like it, press and drag the clip to the timeline and either returned to the browser or in the trash.

Similar sleight of finger movements used to add video or still images shot on iPad 2 or imported from iPhoto to the browser where they can add to your movie. Music is available from the iTunes library on the iPad (or make your own in GarageBand) and titles and voice over commentaries are also easy to understand.

A fundamental change is automatically added between video clips or images, but can easily be changed via a dropdown menu is selected by pinching the transition.

The video or still images recorded on a digital camera or iPhone can be added using a connection kit aircraft Apple iPad ($ 35).

A help menu available from a button on the screen and another button opens a range of options for the exchange of YouTube, Facebook and other popular "look-at-me" network.

In general, the iPad iMovie 2 is very funny, surprising and powerful, then there is a learning curve is short and mild, mostly using common sense fingers.

White iPhone 4 Finally Released

As promised, Apple has started selling white iPhone 4 in Eastern Hemisphere and European countries as markets tumble in April 28. United States and Canada should follow suit, just a few hours, the clock ticked over to the new day. Although the company is advertising the availability on front page of offices in countries where the clock is past midnight, on-line orders are not yet seem to be available even if a third-party retail outlets seem to be free to open their ports.

Even before the official release, the white iPhone 4 made their way into the hands of customers to choose from some retailers to start selling the device early.

Steve Jobs and Phil Schiller also conducted a telephone interview with All Things Digital earlier today, where they discussed some of the challenges a company faces in bringing a white iPhone 4 on the full market ten months late.

Secret Tracker Set on iPhones to Track Users Location

A site called iPhone Tracker posted a report Wednesday, that Apple devices appear to be tracking their owners' locations and storing data about people's whereabouts without their knowledge.

Two researchers reported, base on their unauthorized surveillance started in June 2010, when the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system was released, they discovered a hidden tracking file and posted it out of concern for users . But, Apple has not responded to the allegations.

A program online has been posted by the researchers that will let any iPhone user see a map of his or her location over time, going back to June, when iOS 4.0 was released.

Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden, the program's developers, say this data is stored on a person's iPhone or 3G-enabled iPad and on computers that are synced with those devices. There's no evidence, they say, that the data is also transmitted to Apple as it's collected. But, it's a BIG POSSIBILITY !
