Lausanne, Switzerland – Nicolas Seriot and Anton Anton today are pleased to announce the release of TweetyShow 1.0 for iPhone and iPod touch devices. TweetyShow shows photos posted on Twitter in real time. iPhone users can scroll through an endless grid of photos coming live from the Twitter-sphere. The result is a strange, addictive and poetic experience. Whereas Twitter communication is traditionally text only, Twitter users frequently post links to photos, using services like Twitpic or Yfrog. TweetyShow’s goal is to put these photos in the spotlight.

TweetyShow has nothing to do with traditional Twitter clients. Indeed, it does not even require a Twitter account, or any kind of registration. People can download TweetyShow and start watching a continuous stream of photos right away. When people using TweetyShow particularly like a photo, they can save it to their iPhone photo library, or send it by email to a friend. They can also display all the photos of any Twitter user, or search by name for a Twitter user they know.

Twitter images grids already exist on the web, but TweetyShow brings this kind of service for the first time on Apple’s App Store. All the photos used in TweetyShow are shared by users through the Twitpic photo sharing service. To celebrate the launch of TweetyShow 1.0, dozens of promo codes for the US App Store will be posted in the next couple of days on the TweetyShow’s Facebook page.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.1 or later
* 0.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
TweetyShow 1.0 is only $0.99 (USD) and available exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.

London, UK – SMEStorage today is pleased to announce that its iSMEStorage iPhone application is live in the Apple App store. The application is the first iPhone application to let users access and manage over 10 storage clouds from their iPhone in one Cloud file view. Clouds from which files can be viewed and managed include Amazon S3, RackSpace CloudFiles, Box, Apple Mobile Me, Microsoft SkyDrive, Microsoft Live Mesh, Gmail-as-a-cloud, Email-as-a-Cloud, FTP-as-a-Cloud, Google Docs, and WebDav enabled clouds.

CEO Ian Osborne states, “We are very happy to add the iPhone to the list of clients that users can use to get access to their files from our platform. This application provides access to an amazing array of storage clouds right from the palm of your hand, and provides sophisticated file sharing, file security, viewing and sync-to-device features.”

“There are number of firsts for this application. It is the first to virtualize storage clouds and make them available from one Cloud File System, and it is the first App of any kind in the App Store that enables access to Microsoft SkyDrive files.”

“Cloud users who have envied the simplicity of direct file sync to their iPhone from other storage platforms, but who did not want to move storage providers can now use SMEStorage and our iPhone application and have the same feature.”

“If users are at all like me they will have files in Google Docs, company files in something like Amazon S3, personal Files stored on MIcrosoft SkyDrive, and files stored as email attachments on GMail, as well as other interesting file information in platforms such as Evernote. I use my own service as I find the ability to access all this information in one location and move files easily invaluable. Couple this with easy ways to secure files, file share and sync, and you have on the road nirvana !”

Osborne finished by saying “The iPhone is the first mobile client we have supported and we intend to roll out support for Android, Blackberry and Windows Mobile over the coming year”

London, Canada – Rocking Pocket Games today is pleased to announce the availability of Puppet Jump 3D 1.2, a game that can be only described as a cross between Little Big Planet and Doodle Jump for the iPhone. Puppet Jump 3D challenges players to jump on platforms as high as they can without falling, while collecting Puppet Points that can be used to customize your character and unlock new background scenes.

In addition to the cute cartoonish 3D graphics and animated characters, when played on an iPhone 3GS there are impressive realtime shadows unlike any other iPhone game, thanks to the proprietary 3D engine developed by Rocking Pocket Games.

Customization is extensive with over a million combinations. Players can change the body type, hair, eyes, mouth, and material of their puppet. A variety of scenes can be unlocked, ranging from blue sky, cliff face, outer space, tropical waterfalls, and even hell. Puppet Jump 3D is the first in a series of puppet games, with Puppet Sprint 3D coming soon and Puppet Labyrinth 3D to be released Q2 2010.

Lancaster, UK – Building on the success of the critical hit puzzle game, Chromixa, for iPhone and iPod touch, Pure Square Go is delighted to announce that update 1.1 is now available. The full list of upgrades are; 22 new puzzles (70 total), new “Time Challenge” mini game (4 total), OpenFeint integration for online leaderboards & achievements, compete for the fastest level completion time and shake to reset. But that’s not all. A Lite version has also been released.

Beginning life as a digital art project, Chromixa 1.1.1 is the enchanting result of designer Simon Watson’s fascination with light. Inspired by noted artists such as James Clar and James Turrell, Chromixa’s first incarnation was a real life installation built from 100s of red, green and blue LEDs, a micro-controller, plexiglass, and one very creative brain.

With the concept of physically interactive light mixing at its core, Chromixa has gone through many evolutions, reaching its zenith as an exciting new puzzle genre on the App Store. The simplicity of blending primary colours and fitting tangram-style geometric shapes together offers a uniquely stimulating and addictive interactive experience.

Arrange colored shapes of light to complete beautifully designed puzzles. Primary colors of red, green and blue are rotated, positioned and overlaid to create new tones as shapes overlap. Like a jigsaw of light, your goal is to arrange the shapes to fill an outline with a single color.

As you complete puzzles, the points you earn can be used to unlock fun arcade-style mini-games. Like all good puzzle titles, Chromixa is built upon a simple yet endlessly expandable concept, that unfurls to create progressively discerning challenges that are fun, beautiful and offer pleasing mental agility exercises for all ages.
