Where Thumbs Rule

Message in a Bottle turned 1 today.

WireFree — Thu, 20 May 2010 11:48:15 +0000

One year ago today we released Message in a Bottle.

Oh what a year it has been! Over the past year we have over a hundred thousand users with our various versions, and millions of messages were exchanged. Many of our earliest users remained active throughout this time. There are 192 countries represented in our user base - does iPhone really sell in that many countries? Any way, it’s been a fantastic fun experience.

It is fun to listen to your feedback, either add new features and tweak existing ones, and receive your thank you notes for the changes. It is fun to see folks become quite adroit at picking and hording bottles - once we have a user collected 80 bottles. It is even more fun to look at the stats every day to find so many people got connected.

We are just started - expect many more enhancements to come. iPhone 4.0 is on the horizon. We are working to making your experience even greater.

P.S. We are running a 3-day sale to celebrate - now is the time to get the friend who is procrastinating into the community.

Happy Holidays, every one！

Message in a Bottle is turning Pro

Can I chat with my friends online?

Can I send my bottle to a specific location?

Can I block out unwanted contacts?

Yes， yes and yes!

Message in a Bottle Pro, the feature laden version of our popular SNS app has been released in App Store. Now members can select background music, target bottle release and create white and black contact lists. We are taking this game to a whole new level.

Oh, did I mention that you start with 20 bottles with Pro?

Aim, shoot, kill

After 5 long month of intense development and testing, we have finally took the wraps off iSniper Online, the first real person shooting game in App Store. Players pick a role of either rebel or police and go on search and destroy missions. Instead of computer targets, you will be entering a choice of battle scenes and face real person on the other end. Your aim, trigger and mental strength will by tested. Armed with a rifle and 10 bullets, players duel out with each other for the ultimate glory.

It is no longer about body counts. It is all about killing your enemy before he kills you.

iPhone is inching closer to China

WireFree — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 10:19:26 +0000

Rumors has long persisted around iPhone’s entry into the Chinese market. With China Unicom continuing its negotiations, now comes the report that 8GB version of iPhone 3GS (Model # A1324) has obtained certification from TENAA, the official certification body of Ministry of Industry and

Information Technology. Left is a picture from their website.

Earlier reports have indicated that A1324 is stripped of Wifi.

So now the question is: given the fact that no carrier offers unlimited data service plans in China, will a wifi-less iPhone have the same kind of attraction?

Too Hot to Handle?

Our new puzzle game, Hot Pipes, was just released. This is a simple looking strategy game, where you select from a set of connection joints to build a pipe to link to points across the screen. Appears quite easy, but remember that you are under a time limit so not too many chances for trial and error.
