Nine-Year Old Develops iPhone App: Doodle Kids



So, what were you doing when you were nine years old? Me, I probably got up early to watch cartoons before school… went to school, then ran home with much anticipation for hot soup at lunch. Yeah, those were the days my friend.

Nine-year old Lim Ding Wen from Singapore looks to be a cut above the rest. Especially when it comes to iPhone development. I can almost guarantee you no one else in this youngster’s class is into iPhone App Development… I’m almost 100% positive

This young prodigy has created a painting program called Doodle Kids, which has been downloaded over 4,000 times from the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) App Store. The downloads have come within a two-week span since the app launched. Not bad at all. That’s 4,000 more downloads than I have in the App Store. The app lets iPhone users draw with their fingers, and then clear the screen by shaking the phone. Go ahead and check out Doodle Kids right here (it’s FREE).

According to Lim, there was a reason he created the app:

    “I wrote the program for my younger sisters, who like to draw…” (His sisters are 3 and 5)

If this wasn’t impressive enough, Lim is already fluent in six programming languages. His father Lim Thye Chean also develops for the iPhone, and in the evening they check their App Store stats to see who has had more downloads for the day. Cool.

A big high-five to Lim Ding Wen and the family. Keep up the good work, I’m sure this isn’t the last we’ve heard of Lim!

Occipital ClearCam is another way to improve your jailbroken iPhone’s camera



If you’ve jailbroken your iPhone, you’re probably familiar with Snapture, the camera application which goes beyond Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s built-in camera app. Now, we have another contender in this game. It’s called ClearCam and it’s developed by Occipital.

Using the technique called super resolution, ClearCam takes 6 photos in 2.5 seconds, and then fuses them together with sub-pixel accuracy to create a sharper, 4 megapixel photo with less noise. You can see the result of this tech in action from the image above.

Alternatively, in the other mode called QuickShot, the application takes 4 photos in under 2 seconds and then saves the sharpest one to your camera roll.

It’s nice to see people experimenting with iPhone’s camera software. If I were at Apple, I would strongly consider acquiring both Snapture and ClearCam, combine them, and update the built-in camera app. Aside from getting the technology, Apple would get great people behind these two projects…

Finally, if you want to learn more about ClearCam, there’s a dedicated website. On the same note, you may want to give ClearCam a try - it’s available in Cydia!

The Sims 3 Coming to the iPhone in June



Fans of the ever-popular ‘The Sims’ series of games will be pleased to know that ‘The Sims 3′ is set to come to the iPhone this summer. The new installment of the game is set to hit multiple platforms at the same time, including the Mac, PC and the iPhone. Very cool. The release date is set for June 2, 2009. A much longer wait for those of us that were expecting a February launch.

If you’re unfamiliar with The Sims series, the whole point of the game is to create a virtual person or ’sim’. You then go out and live their life, help them make friends, start a career, buy a home, etc… I played the original Sims game when it was first released, and it was fun… But I didn’t get hooked. New in version 3 will be the ability to choose up to five traits to create individual personalities. New design tools are now integrated to help you customize the appearance of your sim… And, a new ’seamless’ neighborhood environment lets your Sims wander around area homes, businesses, head out to downtown, etc. I’m sure it will be a powerful and amazingly interactive environment to explore.

Should be interesting to see how gameplay looks and feels on the iPhone. Hopefully most of the features available in the main Mac/PC version of the game can be incorporated into the iPhone version. If SimCity is any indication (great game for the iPhone), The Sims 3 should be a best seller in the App Store.
