“After establishing ourselves in the Windows Mobile, Palm OS and Symbian platforms the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch present yet another promising opportunity for our mobile solutions.

We here at SvenOnTech appreciate the finer things in life, hence the reason you haven’t found things that suck in our Review section. One finer thing we like is good, rich, quality sounding music. We like our bass deep and highs shattering just like those old Memorex commercials (which is kinda ironic since Memorex weren’t that good of tapes anyway.) So of course we really were excited when we reviewed the Axiom Audio M3 v2s last year. Now Axiom is bring those very same speakers to your garage. Or your game room or what ever other room dad “owns”.
In its gray cross hatch look, you’ll be able to mount these bad boys on the wall right next to that big elk head in your garage (’cause we know the wife won’t let us put it in the living room.) We warn you, though, be careful. With the great sound you’ll get out of these little speakers, that elk may start twitchin’ its head to the groove if it’s nice and smooth. Ya, lame joke, but great speakers.
Look for them in time for Father’s Day at a suggested price of $375 for the pair.

Ojom GmbH, a leading creator and global publisher of mobile games, today announced the release of its first game specifically designed for the iPhone; adapted to drag, drop and twist just like the device. The highly successful mobile puzzler, Maya, has been adapted for the iPhone, and its Deluxe version was released in conjunction with the iPhone’s Euro Launch via Jamster and Jamba, where it is currently exclusively available. Maya can be played through the integrated Safari browser and is absolutely free to iPhone users.
As people flock to the shops to pick up the much anticipated iPhone, the team at Ojom has modified Maya Deluxe to utilise the iPhone’s innovative touch-screen technology. Released earlier in the year as Maya - Temple of Secrets, this puzzle game was one of Ojom’s best selling games so far and is guaranteed to find a large group of new fans within the fast growing group of iPhone aficionados.
Just like the iPhone, Maya twists and flips as you make your way through the jungle via a series of mind challenging logic games. In the game you must solve a series of puzzles in your quest to find the Maya Temple hidden deep in the jungle. The story goes that, inside the temple, you will find a number of ‘golden artefacts’ that hold the key to an unsolved mystery. Collect the golden artefacts by solving the puzzles and unlock the secret of the Temple of Mysteries. You will be flipping and twisting the triangles with ease on the iPhone’s touch screen and will be trying to master this game at every possible opportunity.
Thomas Brockhage, General Manager of Ojom GmbH, said: “This is a great opportunity for Ojom to show that we can adapt and innovate to suit new technologies. Maya was one of our most popular games and is perfect for the iPhone’s touch sensitive screen. We are proud to release our first game specifically adapted for the iPhone.”
Maya Deluxe is part of a series of puzzle style games from Ojom and is now available to play online with the iPhone only at www.jamba.de and www.jamster.co.uk.
