The good vs evil battle is an ancient one, and the fact we're surrounded by technological wonders on a daily basis doesn't change anything. Unfortunately, I am afraid that religion will bring us to the beginning once again, and the good vs evil battle will be fought with sticks and stones. Anyway, let's hope that won't happen anytime soon, since today we're going to talk about having fun while fighting the good vs evil battle while on the move...

Good vs Evil 1.1 is a strategy and action game for the iPhone and iPod Touch coming from TAS Games. No, this is not simply a game where you get to kill monsters, because it's more than just "click to kill," fortunately. What about mixing chess and real time battles, huh? It may not be the first game to do it, but it surely is something you don't get to see on a daily basis!

Considering the times we're going through, it's no surprise that more and more people are looking for advice on saving money. Today, it's going to be more than just some advice on saving money - we have such a thing for your iPhone!

If you got it wrong, then let me make it clear - we're not going to learn how to save money with the iPhone, but use the iPhone to get some useful advice on saving money, by managing bills, doing budgeting, reconcile checking account and more, all by using the smartest and only phone from Apple.

The tool I have right here is simply called "Dough," and - according to its producer - is "the result of many months of work studying hundreds of emails of existing iPhone Apps and using a decade of experience with Quicken on the PC."
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Instead of giving you the features list, I think another quote from the official press release would be more suggestive: "In the final result we tried to create something that was easy to use combined with the most commonly used features. We wanted the users to tell us what was missing. This way we would avoid the pitfall of traditional software companies who fill their products with so many features only to make it extremely hard to use."

Dough 1.2 can be purchased via the Apple iTunes App Store, for only $6.99, and works perfectly with the iPhone and iPod Touch. This way, you will get three apps to give you advice on saving money in a single package - Checkbook, Budget and Bill Payment. Do I have to say more? :)

Card games aren't exactly one of my strong points, and I am not crazy about lottery-style games, either. After all, the safest buck you can earn is the one you work for, right? Anyway, if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch and you want to get ready for the real thing without anyone laughin at you, the card simulator I have just found is the right choice!

By grabbing Deckster 1.0, you won't need any real cars anymore. How's that possible? Well, we're talking about a card simulator here, remember? That's what card simulators do, usually!

"Featuring stunning and original artwork, your immersion in the experience is total, starting with the moment you remove the cellophane from the box and break the seal. There they are, all your cards, including jokers, in factory order. And when you're done, and put them back in the box (and you really should put them back in the box!), they come out again in exactly the same sequence you left them in. Real cards don't randomize themselves, do they? If you know of any that do, let us know!"
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
The feature highlights include the following:

- High resolution original artwork
- Custom Jokers, Ace of Spades and face cards
- 2 unique decks: the standard "Deckster 101 Casino" in blue and red
- New decks have cards in authentic factory order
- Decks retain their card order between uses, just like the real thing
- Intuitive gestures to deal, discard/burn, turn over cards and square the deck
- Shake to shuffle, simulating the standard overhand shuffle with random effects: not an inauthentic randomization function
- Place unwanted cards back in the box
- Collect all cards when finished, and rebox them for safekeeping
- Rotate the device to view your hand
- Discard and rearrange cards in your hand

Priced at just $0.99, Deckster 1.0 can be purchased via the Apple iTunes App Store and requires iPhone or iPod Touch running software version 2.2.1. That's it!

For a few long years, I've been absolutely crazy about sims, especially economic simulations like Transport Tycoon. On the other hand, I can't say I tried them all, so maybe there's some other harbor sim available out there, but Youda Marina is the first one I ever bumped into, and since it's also a Mac software, we just got ourselves a new and interesting topic!

According to the official press release, "Youda Marina is a simulation and time management game all rolled into one," and while some sims aren't looking that great, I must confess I love Youda Marina's looks. Of course, most people could say the graphics are outdated, and they may be right, but I always like to keep gameplay and strategy in mind before looking at the graphics and going "WoW" all the time.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
The main features of this harbor sim for Mac are listed below:

- 4 different maps
- Lots of buildings and facilities to construct
- All kinds of ships and boats
- Challenging milestones
- Creativity with your marina design
- Amazing graphics
- Reggae music for the real tropical vibe
- Breaking waves and sea-gull sound effects
- Many hours of great fun
- A fantastic tropical adventure!

Just don't point any fingers at me - that's the features list as given by the publisher, and not my take. I will keep my opinion and say that Youda Marina is more about the fun had while playing, instead of the amazement delivered by astonishing graphics.

Priced at $19.95, Youda Marina is available through Macgamestore.com and Mac Games Arcade as a digital download, and requires Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later.

Software development for iPhone is one of those things you should do these days. The reason? Obviously, it seems like a recession-proof job to me, and since you can do it in your free time at home, while keeping your full time job, you only need some skills to get into it... and countless hours of hard work, of course. Sometimes, all these are not enough, and if you can get some software to help you with it... why not?

VolnaTech is a company that tries to help others, since a software development kit for the iPhone/iPod Touch platform is nothing but pure gold for those in this field of work. The software development tool they are developing is called NimbleKit, and it allows programmers to build iPhone apps much easier, simply by usinh HTML and Javascript! Pheew, that's awesome - you can finally forget about learning Objective-C!
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
This easy to use app will get you started with sofware development for iPhone in no time, also providing the following features:

- Navigation Controllers: upper navigation bar and bottom tabs to allow automatic navigation between your pages.
- Native fixed position controls like buttons with images, slider, activity indicator, etc
- Full control of application appearance including changing main status bar and style of navigation controllers.
- Playing streamed and bundled audio has never been easier, to play streamed or bundled audio you need just 2 lines of code!
- Vibration support
- Address Book support with ability to search for contacts
- Access to bundled files so it's possible to read any amount of data for pages from any location in the file
- Internet availability to know if we can reach internet via wifi or cellular network
- Settings to allow your application save application specific information
- Overall stability was greatly improved

Available for $99.00, the NimbleKit SDK requires Mac OS X Version 10.5.5 or higher, as well as iPhone SDK 2.2 or higher. While you can play with it without registering, the apps created will only run on the iPhone simulator that's part of the iPhone SDK. To purchase NimbleKit, just go here. No, it's not another App Store link... ;)
