Amidst criticism over reception with its latest smartphone, Apple on Friday said it would provide all iPhone 4 buyers with a complimentary case or bumper until September 30.

Users who have already purchased an iPhone 4 bumper will receive refunds, Apple chief executive Steve Jobs said at a Friday press conference, though that won't apply to third-party cases. Apple does not have enough bumpers for the 3 million iPhone 4's it has sold since launch, so the company will source other cases and provide users with a choice.

More details about case options and the refund will be on Apple's Web site next week.

If customers are still not happy with the iPhone 4 performance, Apple will issue a full refund, with no re-stocking fee, Jobs said. When asked if this meant AT&T would release people from their contracts, Jobs said, "I believe so."

An AT&T spokesman said the company supports Apple's decision to provide free cases and waive the usual re-stocking fee. "We're going to do the same," he said, and AT&T will have additional information on its Web site at a later date.

As for getting out of an AT&T contract, the spokesman said the company's normal, 30-day return policy will still apply. Under that option, customers have 30 days in which to return their device and switch to another carrier at no charge or exchange it for another AT&T phone. If users want to turn in their iPhone 4, AT&T will also waive the re-stocking fee, but beyond 30 days, the Apple offer does not affect AT&T contracts, he said.

The white iPhone 4, meanwhile, will start shipping at the end of July.

KungFu-Grip is Out

2010-07-13T19:48:00.000-07:00

Want to be a legendary Kung Fu Master? You definitely need to play Kung Fu Grip. Kung Fu Grip is a very cool game! It captures the essence of the traditional Chinese Kung Fu – the quickness to respond to the environment, and applies the 5 most famous palm styles in Chinese Kung Fu – Tiger, Snake, Monkey, Eagle and Crane.
The game can be played in two modes: Apprentice and Master. In both modes, your goal is to catch the falling objects to achieve a high level or a high score.

The Apprentice Mode has five levels, each featuring one of the 5 palm styles. As the level goes up, the game becomes more difficult.
The Master Mode plays by scores and is more difficult. Different objects give you different scores. You can choose to play with any of the 5 palm styles only after you have un-clocked it in the Apprentice Mode.

Simply click on the screen to play the game! You have 3 lives to start with. Remember, two objects you should avoid catching – sword and dragon-horn knife! You would die once you catch them.
Good luck!

motionGrab is Ready to Go!

2010-06-18T20:56:00.000-07:00

Hi guys, sorry we were busy with the finals and barely had time to update our blog, even though our second application motionGrab has been ready in the App Store for more than a week! Thanks to those who have given us support all the way through.

It has been not easy to keep up with all the courses at school and the work for D2R studio. Yet, we are happy the difficult time is gone. Voila! Nice to embrace the less busy summer season. :)

A brief introduction to our new baby:

motionGrab, as its name indicates, is for taking pictures that are in motion. With one shot, it takes multiple images and combines them to get a more vivid picture with objects in motion. Remember those pictures of the fast driving motorcycles at the turning point, or those of the basketball player perfectly shooting a ball. Yes, here's the application to make it super easy to take those cool pictures.

How to use it?

1. Choose the number of snaps (from 3 to 20). It's the number of images that will be taken and combined in a single shot.
2. Set Snap Interval (from 0.5s to 2.0s). It's the time interval between two images taken.
3. Hit 'Go' and you're ready to take the pictures.
4. After the images are taken, you will be able to edit the picture by setting the decay level and GreyScale.
5. "Save" and it's in your iphone album now!

**Tips**
• Decay level - lower means the images taken earlier in sequence are more clearly shown when images are combined; higher means those taken later will be shown more clearly.
• To get better effect, stabilize the phone by holding it against a firm surface before taking pictures.
• After the images are taken, it may take a few seconds to process and combine the pictures (based on the number of snaps you selected). So, thank you for the patience.

Enjoy it!
