Today was a fun day on the review front. Why? Because I got to take a look at the new game Paratrooper by 185vfx (aka Rob Bredow). This game follows in the same vein as Topple Ball in that it is an accelerometer game (you tilt your phone to play it). Also like Topple Ball, [...]

Sprint’s Open Developer Conference is taking place this week in Santa Clara, California. I had the opportunity to attend this event, which is sponsored by Palm and HTC.
