More good news PhoneSaber fans!

PhoneSaber 1.2 is now available on the App Store!  Here’s what’s new:

• The most requested feature (and one you’ll all appreciate) - Much louder sound!
• Full screen mode now animates in and out!
• The interface flips when the device is upside down, so you can use the normal view the correct way up, but still have the speaker facing out for even louder sound!

Good news PhoneSaber fans, the 1.1 update with full screen saber is available on the App Store now!

There’s another update on it’s way fairly soon that will boost the volume, fix a couple things, and more.

Enjoy!

Well, the App Store is finally available and getting lots of attention all over the net.

First of all, got to say how truly great the App Store is. Some fantastic apps available - free and otherwise. The remote app from Apple is excellent, NetNewsWire is nice, and the Facebook app is pretty good too.

It’s a shame some developers seem to have sold out and set completely silly prices for apps that really should be free, and there are a lot of clones on there (do I need 10 sudoku apps and 17 tip calculators?)

It’s also great to see our fun little apps doing well. Both NearPics & PhoneSaber are easily in the top 50 free apps, and PhoneSaber is (at time of writing) the 5th most popular free app (beating NetNewsWire, MySpace, Twitterific & The Mobile News Network)! Also, it’s great to see almost everyone taking PhoneSaber in the spirit it was intended - a fun free app. Pointless… but fun.

Getting some attention on the net too, Gizmodo said “Lightsaber application similar to the one on Installer.app. Five choices of iPhone colors and slightly better accelerometer detection for better lightsaber sounds. Free.”  Laptop Mag called PhoneSaber “The best, most useless iPhone app” and posted a moderately amusing video of them playing with it!

Enjoy the App Store everyone!
