Solar System for iPad – Review

After having reviewed Touch Press’s app The Elements last year, I was excited to see the release of their latest offering, Solar System for iPad, as the App of the Week on the iTunes App Store. The graphics in Solar System for iPad are just as amazing as they were with The Elements. The 842 MB installation is a testament to the level of detail that Touch Press has put into the application. Installation of the app is lengthy, so much so that I highly recommend that you install by syncing with your computer rather than directly on your iPad via the App Store application.

Review

Nucleus, ‘ala Astroids, is as fun here as it was in the arcade. Rather than green vector graphics of the game that inspired it, Nucleus sports a more modern cell-shaded affair, with terrific audio and controls of your ship.

Elmedia Player- Review

Elmedia provides two versions of their media player: a free version and a $20 PRO version that will allow you to download movies and videos from online directly to your hard drive. I found it noteworthy that even the free version will play Microsoft’s Silverlight format (XAP). Elmedia Player also supports Adobe Flash (FLV), AVI, MOV, WMV, SWF, MPEG, and Real Player’s RM and RV formats.
