I learnt about the Flappy Bird few days ago, when I was looking through the Best Vines Facebook page. Since Vine informed me about it, I thought it must be something. Millions are downloading this game to their iPhone and iPads everyday. The game is also available for Android phones and tablets. I tested it on my Kiano Elegance 9.7” 3G and it ran just fine.
The performance of the game is top notch, irrespective of the platform you use. For instance, my Kiano Elegance 9.7” 3G has a 10-inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, 1 GB of RAM and quad core Rockchip RK3188 with clock frequency of 1.6GHz. You can find the review of the tablet here, in case you are curious about it.
You control a bird in a very simple way – by touching the screen which will make it jump. But soon, it will begin to fall down. We must, therefore control the bird in a certain way in order to maintain or adjust the height. It should keep the spacing between successive barriers.
Here is a video proof that it is not that awkard to play on an iPad.
You can download the game from here. The game is available for free on iOS, Android, and will soon made available on Windows Phone. It takes only 800 KB, so it should fit on the smartphones of all generations.
So you think Apple iPhone screen is too small? Well, Apple is indeed testing an iPhone with a much bigger display that is slated to be released in the month of May 2014. If rumors are to be believed, Apple may not call this iPhone the iPhone 6, and it would be a part of an entirely new product line.
Screen size will reach 5 inches
According to reports, Apple’s big-screen version of the iPhone is likely to reach 5 inches. It is unclear how Apple will be calling this big-screen iPhone.
Apple A8 processor with 20nm manufacturing technology
Taiwan media, Digitimes cites that Apple will be releasing this big screen iPhone in May, and iPhone 6 will be unveiled in October. The next generation iPhone with the larger screen will be using the "TSMC’s 20-nanometer processor", and Apple will be calling it Apple A8. [pconline Chinese]

The $99 is available via ATT Wireless, which is actually a refurb version of the iPhone 3G 8GB. It comes with a 2-year plan which includes both voice and data. If you are ready to shell-out another $100, you can get the 16GB iPhone 3G again with a 2-year contract.
These prices are effective until Dec. 31, 2008. After that, both prices will be $50 higher. So hurry, if you wanted to get an iPhone.
Should you get a refurb iPhone?
According to AT&T, “Refurbished phones are previously owned devices that have been unused or lightly used and returned during the 30-day trial period. Each refurbished phone is independently quality tested and loaded with the latest software to meet current factory standards. Some refurbished iPhone 3G devices will have minor scratches. Refurbished iPhone 3G devices carry a warranty of 90 days or more.”
In the end, it looks pretty much like a safe deal to me.
