In further extension of the music and iPhone paradigm, Tapulous today announced its Tap Tap Dance game is now available on the Apple App Store.
Tap Tap Dance goes beyond Tap Tap Revenge - the most downloaded free game through the App Store - delivering richer graphics, new lighting effects, more sophisticated game play features, and dance tracks from artists including The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Digitalism, Moby and more.
Wu warns of “stronger than expected” demand for the new range of iPods, observing Apple may have made a more conservative than required estimate of iPod sales during the quarter.

Above is the promo video for new iPhone title, ‘Hero of Sparta’ from developer Gameloft. The depth and quality of what this video indicates can be achieved for mobile gaming once again suggests that developers still have a way to go before they hit the limit of the current technology, let alone the potential for future iterations. (And with a faster processor, you should get even better action from an iPod touch).

Global music organisation, Ministry of Sound, has made its “Anthems II,”compilation available through iTunes, while also joining the dash to distribute an accompanying iPhone application, iDrum.
Created in conjunction with iZotope the application lets iPhone and iPod touch users create music, and is yet another in what’s likely to become a long strand of music-related marketing and lifestyle accessories for Apple’s devices.
“This is a truly unique experience,” said Van Uong, licensing account manager at Ministry of Sound.
The company has migrated its content into QuickTime, and in an attempt to make its shows available to iPhone (and iPod touch) users, Blip.tv has created embedded versions of its content which will play back in the Safari web browser.

Noise Trio is a free iPhone synthesizer from the Noise.io Pro team, offering three instruments including rock guitar, arabic flute and Japanese bells. We can best express how interesting this is in the second video (after the jump) where you’ll see it played in Chemical Brothers’ style.
The DevTeam has released Pwnage Tool and QuickPwn 2.2 Windows users only have QuickPwn.
“If you have a 3G iPhone and want potential soft unlock in the near future do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool,” the team warns.
The team notes that Apple’s new software updated the baseband on the 3G iPhone, which means the iPhone Dev Team are advising unlockers not to use Pwnage, as it will revert to the older (slower) baseband.
