Spiderpodium, Spiderpodium, does whatever a Spider can. Now in my 70′s commercial voice, it bends, it twists, it hangs, it’s one of the most flexible stands you can get for your iPod or iPhone. It’s Breffo’s amazing Spiderpodium and we have two to giveaway! One for the iPhone and for the iPad!! Remaining in my 70′s commercial voice – To Win is Simple – Follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/eclipsemagazine. Retweet some of our articles. Like us on facebook (facebook.com/eclipsemagazine – yes I know it’s not properly set up, but we’re working on it). Send an email to contests@eclipsemagazine with your full name and address with the words Spiderpodium Contest in the subject. The contest period is Oct 8 – to Oct 18th! I haven’t decided if two winners will receive one of each or if one will receive both. In your email please let me know what your preference is. If there’s a huge response for both, then one winner will receive both the iPad and iPhone Spiderpodium. I suspect not many people are foolish like me and have an iPad AND a iPhone.
Spiderpodium is arguably the best travel dock available on the market today and certainly the most useful accessory suited to smartphone to smartphone video conferencing. The products flexible nature allows for Spiderpodium to position a phone at virtually any angle, in any position, in any location!

A few weeks ago EA Games slashed the prices on a bunch of their classic games including The Game of Life, Clue and Battleship to .99. Battleship is a blast to play (bad pun intended). It’s addictive fun; one minute turns into an hour. The game matches last quite awhile, an average of 10 minutes or more (with the cut scenes) and it doesn’t remember the last position when you quit, so you are forced to play until the match is over. On the one hand it’s a flawless mobile game experience, but the match length means you have to be in a place where you can devote the time to finish a round. There are neat little RPG elements that let you level up your character and rank, doing this unlock new weapons you can use in the Super Weapon mode.

The U.S. Soccer team’s impressive World Cup Soccer run has given everyone the fever. Hoping to capitalize, the folks at Konami have ported their popular console soccer game Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 (PES 2010) to the iPhone/iPod Touch. It’s always amazing how much developers can pack into these ports. The game packs quite a punch with a full list of features including all the professional soccer teams (80 teams) and leagues represented, You can play full seasons complete with stat tracking and set your match length from 3 – 10 minutes. There are 5 different game levels from Amateur to Top Player.

As many of you know the new iPhone update iOS4 is supposed to be available today. Apparently, as of 6:30 EST, it hasn’t launched yet, I’m assuming it’ll go live at some point today. The new update really only affects iPhone 3GS users as people like me who have a iPhone 3G and iPad get screwed. The iPad iOS4 update won’t come until the fall and for iPhone 3G owners a lot of features won’t work including the main draw – multitasking. I’m assuming iBooks and folders will work – ooh…. I have the latest iPod Touch 64 and am not clear on what will and won’t work on that device, I’m assuming multitasking won’t work either. So really this new “update” is pointless for non 3GS users. Way to once again screw over your customers Apple.

So it’s here, the iPhone 4. I’m not sure what I think about it, yesterday I was all set to get rid of my iPhone 3G and going with TMobile but I have to say I love the design of the new iPhone and the camera features are really tempting – especially now that I’m doing a lot of video for EM. I like the idea of having iBooks on my phone and it was funny watching Steve Jobs talk about the new features of iBooks like it was revolutionary when my Kindle App is already available everywhere, keeps track of where I am in my books and has a bigger selection. I do like the idea of being able to read PDFs directly in iBooks. The phone comes will be available in a 8Gig 3GS version at $99, 16-Gig at $199 and $299 for the high-end 32-Gig model. The price is surprisingly reasonable, I’m surprised ATT is letting people out of their contracts up to 6 months early to upgrade to the new phone. Of course my current contract expires next March so it does me no good. I was disappointed that there is no 64 or 80 Gig option, the screen size is exactly the same and the lack of a screen lock button – the constant rotation drives me nuts. So let’s rundown some of the key new features.
