You know how it is in the first flush of romance. Or lust. Things get pretty busy, and stay that way until ardour fades and you get to decide whether you’re made for each other or if it is time to move on.

We so wish we hadn’t missed this when it first hit the App Store in January, but given that we’ve found out about it now we figured at least some of our music/movie-focused readers may be interested in taking a look at this iPhone App-cum-movie, ‘The Promised Land of Heavy Metal’.
Flurry has some interesting data on where iPhone developers come from, as detailed in this chart.
Revealing that around 35,000 unique companies across the globe are producing the 140,000-strong collection of applications , Flurry observes that 19 percent of companies building iPhone applications initially came from traditional video games.
Just take a look at this gem, perhaps the most impressive iTunes LP yet and sure to take space in many collections pretty soon (get it here). This is a collaboration between Danger Mouse (Grey Album) and James Mercer of The Shins, and it is called Broken Bells.
