How iPhone apps make our life easier

By now, most of us are aware of the iPhone and it’s ever expanding selection of applications known as ‘apps.’ The iPhone app store currently boasts a selection of over 150,000 apps, many of which fall into the categories of either time savers or time wasters. In this article we will examine some ways in which iPhone apps can help us save time, waste time and make our lives a bit easier in the process.

1)      They ease frustrations – Sometimes all you need in life is a little distraction. Studies have shown that taking small breaks from work or other potentially frustrating activities can result in more productive returns to those activities. The next time you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed or in need of a break, take a browse through the app store. There are many classic games from video game consoles of yesteryear, as well as a wide selection of new and innovative games and applications across all genres and subjects. While a browse through the app store can be as effective as a purchase when it comes to relaxation, with all of the free games and demos available, there is no reason not to download one and start playing!

2)      They solve problems – If you are lost, there is an iPhone app that will get you home. If you are hungry, there’s an app that will guide you to the nearest restaurant. You can even filter the restaurants based on feedback provided by your peers. There are apps that will allow you to log into your home computer from anywhere in the world, shop at one store while you’re in line at another,  and even pay your bills while out at dinner. Multi-tasking and problem solving with the aid of an iPhone has become a way of life for millions of people around the world.

3)      They teach us – There are iPhone apps for learning foreign languages, elevating your higher brain functions, and figuring out geometry. You can even find several apps that are designed to help develop your musical ear. The next time you come across a subject you are interested in learning more about, check the app store for a relevant app. You just might find a game or program that both entertains you and increases your grasp on the subject.

Nintendo Games

In September 2005, Nintendo released a second redesign of the Game Boy Advance. This model, dubbed the Game Boy micro, is similar in style to the original Game Boy Advance’s horizontal orientation, but is much smaller and sleeker. The Game Boy micro also allows the user an ability to switch between several colored faceplates to allow customization, a feature which Nintendo advertised heavily around the Game Boy micro’s launch. Nintendo also hoped that this “fashion” feature will help target audiences outside of typical video game players, much like its new Wii. Unlike the previous Game Boy Advance models, Game Boy micro is unable to support Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles.

Nintendo’s competitors in the handheld market were the Neo Geo Pocket Color, Bandai Swan Crystal, Game Park 32, Tapwave Zodiac and the Nokia N-Gage. Despite the competitors’ best efforts, nintendo maintained its majority market share with the Game Boy Advance.

To date, Nintendo has sold 80,500,000 GBA units around the world. Over half of those in the Americas and 16 million in Japan at second place.

The Game Boy Advance has become the modern flagship of sprite-based games. With hardware superior to the Super NES it has proven that sprite-based technology could improve and live side by side with the 3D games of today’s consoles. The Game Boy Advance not only has one’s typical platformers, but also a huge collection of SNES-style RPGs. It has also become a popular system for old-school gamers due to the increasing amount of games ported from various 8-bit and 16-bit systems of the previous era. Through the use of flash cartridges and emulators the Game Boy Advance can even play NES and TurboGrafx-16 games, as well as AGI-based Sierra On-Line PC adventure games.

Nintendo owners enjoy a huge selection of Nintendo games from Sport, Action and Adventure to Simulation, Strategy and Edutainment.

The best selling game of all times is Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, Released in March 2003 was sold at over 13 million copies.

An updated list of all GBA games can be found on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Game_Boy_Advance_games

Nowadays you can find many websites that sell Nintendo games online, where you can also find rare classics in affordable prices and games that are mostly unreachable in stores.

My personal favorite, “Games – advance” is an online store with, by far, the largest online selection of both new releases and rare classics and both original and 3rd party Nintendo accessories. Prices are very reasonable and the selection is huge. You can check them out at: http://www.games-advance.com
