For all you pinball fans, there is good news!

Wild West Pinball is an excellent pinball game with crisp graphics and excellent game play. If you are used to going through a couple of screens before you start playing a game, you will appreciate the simplicity in Wild West Pinball.

As soon the game loads you just tap the screen to get started. I noticed that this game had dropped from $1.99 to FREE at lunch and loaded it up. You can see I didn’t score much but I was really impressed by the way the screen zooms in the area where the ball is and then comes back down just in time so you don’t lose it.

Wild West Pinball boasts of

• Full hi-res 3D graphics
• 40 fps frame speed
• Camera effects
• Live scoring table
• Realistic physics
• Shake your iPhone to shake your pinball table
• Pause/play game play anytime

Wild West Pinball is an excellent pinball simulator game!

Our beloved Amazon.com has launched their own native iPhone & iPod Touch App. This takes shopping or looking up items at Amazon.com a breeze with your iPhone.

Without further adieu, a few features of the Amazon iPhone App

• On launching the app, you see your wish list and your login for Amazon
• With the Search tab, you can search for anything in Amazon
• Search results are shown as a list in descending order of relevance
• You can see different categories by tapping the ‘By Category’ button
• In the Product page, you can see full product description as well as customer reviews
• You can add products and remove products easily from your shopping cart

Amazon Remember’s

Amazon iPhone App has a cool experimental feature - Amazon Remembers tab. With this feature, you can take a picture of any item and send it over to Amazon. In a few minutes to a few hours, you will get a link to the Amazon product page to that item or something that closely resembles that item.

You can see the picture of our cordless phone. The first one is the one I sent and I received an email notification that a match was found. In about 5 minutes. And it rightly

The best thing is the results are saved in Amazon site so you can later review those at home for further research. This can be very useful when you are out shopping and help you remember to look up this item later.

One caveat with this feature is that the results are returned by humans working in the Amazon’s Mechanical Turk service. So the accuracy could be questionable and so is the time period in which you get the results back as this service become popular.

[Obvious plug: We have our own Amazon Store - Shop link at the top, where we feature hand picked deals for iPod Touch & iPhone]

DeviceScape has had the Easy Wi-Fi app for $1.99 for a while. It allowed you to login to a Wi-Fi hotspot without opening your Safari browser on iPhone to enter your login credentials.

Now, Easy Wi-fi for AT&T simplifies your access to AT&T hotspot locations with ATTcellphones. To access a AT&T Wi-fi hotspot, you just imply access the Easy Wi-Fi for AT&T app, and you are automatically logged in.

And you don’t have to wait for a SMS code after registering via Safari. I don’t see this as any different from the earlier Easy Wi-Fi App but this one looks to be for the US consumers and AT&T specific.

One reason to grab this today is because it’s FREE instead of it’s original price $1.99 until Dec 5, 2008.

Devicescape also works on Mac OSX Powerbooks, Nokia N810, Nokia S60 series, Nokia N 800, Windows Mobile & Windows Laptops.
