Both President Obama’s re-election campaign and Republican contender Mitt Romney’s campaign have adopted the latest tool in political fundraising: Square.  Square allows just about anyone, including campaigns, to accept donations from mobile phones ...]]> http://www.rev2.org/2012/02/06/romney-obama-adopt-square-for-donations/feed/ 1 http://www.rev2.org/2011/12/26/amazing-breaker-for-iphone/ http://www.rev2.org/2011/12/26/amazing-breaker-for-iphone/#comments Mon, 26 Dec 2011 12:39:42 +0000 Craig Agranoff http://www.rev2.org/?p=4434 It’s rare that you come across a game that is a uniquely original take on a relatively standard game type.  We see knockoffs all the time, or games that are basically just the same old game idea with better graphics and maybe different icons.  Unlike those types of remakes, Amazing Breaker is a truly original take on a relatively common game concept.

The premise is relatively simple: you draw back your sling cannon to launch projectiles at an object and break it down – sort of halfway between Angry ...]]> http://www.rev2.org/2011/12/26/amazing-breaker-for-iphone/feed/ 1 http://www.rev2.org/2011/11/14/texas-holdem-poker-on-the-ipad/ http://www.rev2.org/2011/11/14/texas-holdem-poker-on-the-ipad/#comments Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:09:48 +0000 Craig Agranoff http://www.rev2.org/?p=4398 If you happen to enjoy card games, especially online games against real opponents, then you’ll probably love this one.  Poker legend Doyle Brunson refers to this game as “the Cadillac of poker.”

Made by Vaiden Gaming, Texas Hold’em Poker is both beautiful to look at and very fun and easy to play.  I don’t mean it’s “easy mode” poker, I mean the interface is easy to understand.  You can play against the game if you’re not connected or (I recommend) play against other live players from anywhere an iOS device is ...]]> http://www.rev2.org/2011/11/14/texas-holdem-poker-on-the-ipad/feed/ 15 http://www.rev2.org/2011/10/17/dm1-the-drum-machine-for-ipad/ http://www.rev2.org/2011/10/17/dm1-the-drum-machine-for-ipad/#comments Mon, 17 Oct 2011 12:07:47 +0000 Craig Agranoff http://www.rev2.org/?p=4368 This has become one of my favorite apps and I’m not really much of a musician.  It’s fun to play with, allows you to do some really cool mixes, and is simple to learn and understand.

DM1 is an advanced drum machine based on the older vintage style in-studio machines that many musicians are familiar with.  It turns your iPad into one of those machines and allows you to utilize different parts of the mixing board to create beats and changes quickly.

It’s got 29 electronic drum kits built-in and ...]]> http://www.rev2.org/2011/10/17/dm1-the-drum-machine-for-ipad/feed/ 22 http://www.rev2.org/2011/10/03/is-the-kindle-fire-going-to-be-an-ipad-killer/ http://www.rev2.org/2011/10/03/is-the-kindle-fire-going-to-be-an-ipad-killer/#comments Mon, 03 Oct 2011 12:28:24 +0000 Craig Agranoff http://www.rev2.org/?p=4350 There’s been a lot of buzz since Amazon introduced the Kindle Fire last week.  It’s been touted as the next “iPad killer” and crows of the imminent doom of Apple were heard.  Except.. the Fire won’t do either of those things.  In fact, it probably won’t even take much of the iPad’s market share.

Why?

Because it’s not a tablet competing in the same market as the iPad.  Simple as that.  The Fire is not a universal tablet that can be customized into any of a number of roles.  That’s what the ...]]> http://www.rev2.org/2011/10/03/is-the-kindle-fire-going-to-be-an-ipad-killer/feed/ 10 http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/30/new-twitter-hq-to-open-in-ireland/ http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/30/new-twitter-hq-to-open-in-ireland/#comments Fri, 30 Sep 2011 14:57:29 +0000 dave http://www.rev2.org/?p=4348 http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/30/new-twitter-hq-to-open-in-ireland/feed/ 5 http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/30/blogza-%e2%80%93-blogging-start-up-looks-like-a-cross-between-blogging-and-twitter/ http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/30/blogza-%e2%80%93-blogging-start-up-looks-like-a-cross-between-blogging-and-twitter/#comments Fri, 30 Sep 2011 14:56:51 +0000 dave http://www.rev2.org/?p=4346 http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/30/blogza-%e2%80%93-blogging-start-up-looks-like-a-cross-between-blogging-and-twitter/feed/ 4 http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/19/3d-4-medical-ipad-apps/ http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/19/3d-4-medical-ipad-apps/#comments Mon, 19 Sep 2011 12:17:42 +0000 Craig Agranoff http://www.rev2.org/?p=4334 NOVA has created five applications for the iPad under the umbrella of 3D 4 Medical.  The apps are all medical/body/anatomy related and feature some awesome visualizations of the human body at work.  The apps are meant for students, medical professionals, and teachers, but anyone can use them and learn.

The first app is Brain Pro, which gives an in-depth knowledge of the brain, visually.  You can look at an image of a human brain and rotate, slice, peel away, and go transparent to view a map of the brain ...]]> http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/19/3d-4-medical-ipad-apps/feed/ 12 http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/12/trialpad-the-trial-presentation-app/ http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/12/trialpad-the-trial-presentation-app/#comments Mon, 12 Sep 2011 12:02:36 +0000 Craig Agranoff http://www.rev2.org/?p=4324 We’ve all seen the courtroom dramas where the lawyer representing the side of good presents the critical evidence, out of the blue, and cinches the case for the client.  In those shows, convincing the jury always hinges on one crucial bit of evidence that is suddenly presented, at the very last moment, to swing the judgment.

In real life, of course, that rarely happens.  But trial attorneys do spend a lot of time setting up and presenting evidence to juries in order to convince them that their side of the story ...]]> http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/12/trialpad-the-trial-presentation-app/feed/ 37 http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/05/reckless-getaway-make-a-break-for-it-on-your-iphone/ http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/05/reckless-getaway-make-a-break-for-it-on-your-iphone/#comments Mon, 05 Sep 2011 12:17:18 +0000 Craig Agranoff http://www.rev2.org/?p=4317 Robbing the bank was the easy part.  The hard part?  The getaway.

Reckless Getaway is a really cool iPhone/iPad game that puts you in the driver’s seat of a getaway car.  The robbery is done, the money is in hand, but you still have to get away.

The game has a lot of variables going on and is a ton of fun.  You can drive various getaway vehicles including a muscle car, a big rig, and more.  The game has 16 tracks, all with traffic, police pursuit, wrecks, and general ...]]> http://www.rev2.org/2011/09/05/reckless-getaway-make-a-break-for-it-on-your-iphone/feed/ 19
