Do you like this story?

Mario Kart DS has been a hugely successful title for Nintendo and we’re just over a month away from the release of Mario Kart Wii. If you’re looking for yet another avenue for cartoon-fueled racing, look no further than the Apple iPhone.

The good news is that this driving game makes great use of the touchscreen display, offering a virtual steering wheel for you to drift around corners and out-pace your opponents. The bad news is that this is only a Mario Kart inspired

Even so, the game looks pretty sweet with its kitchy 3D graphics and multitouch controls. It just goes to show you what is possible with the iPhone SDK. Great times a-coming!

It’s capable of sending out 90db of sound between the 40Hz – 20KHz range, and creating a dynamic subwoofer out of nearly any flat surface imaginable. It has an internal battery with an estimated 20 hours of playtime per charge.

  Boogie Board LCD tablet review Posted 8 days ago. The Etch A Sketch was a small box-like toy filled with aluminum powder that could be scraped off the inside surface of the glass to create a dark line on its light gray screen. Two knobs would allow you to move vertically and horizontally across the screen to create either a mess of lines, or a fantastic image. When you were done, just give it an upside down shake, and you can start allover again.

The Legend also comes with a bunch of other improvements too, including operating off the newer HSPA network.
