Utility ToolBox: Tiger Text All of us can’t be Tiger Woods, but now with a TigerText we can at least try – and no, i’m not referring to being a good golfer. TigerText lets you send text messages that don’t last forever. Basically, send a text, and set the amount of time you want it to stay for. After the time expires the message will self destruct, or in this case, just disapear. Read More

A new iPhone app launched yesterday that allows users to send text messages that won't linger - if you don't want them to. Inspired by Tiger Woods text messaging woes, the app called TigerText, deletes texts from both users phones. When you send a regular text message, the message is sent from your phone, routed through a server, and then delivered to the recipient’s phone. The message you send will live on the receiver’s phone until the recipient decides to delete it. The text message will also reside on the cell phone company’s server for an unlimited amount of time. TigerText is different because, even though it looks and feels identical to a normal text message, the content of your message is never sent to the recipient’s phone and you control when the message is deleted from our server so you control the lifespan of the message! How do I know messages are deleted? Messages are displayed on both users (sender and receiver) phones until they are deleted from our server. All expired texts are cleared from our servers every minute of the day. Once you see the TigerText paws, you know your tracks have been covered and the message no longer stored anywhere.

Browsing the App Store this weekend?  Here are nine new or updated apps worth taking a closer look at if you are: Familiar to PC and Mac gamers, this is the port of the same game over to the iPhone.  Like the removed StoneLoops! of Jurassica, you must fire an orb into a snaking line, match up three colours together and they disappear.  There are power-ups, secrets and three different game modes to enjoy.  Wonder how long this one will last? An iPhone remix of the 80s Mac game Airborne.  As with the original, you must fend off paratroopers, tanks and missiles while conserving your ammunition and aiming well, in order to get a good high score. A streaming radio app which works over 3G, EDGE and Wi-Fi, and supports some 10,000 stations from all over the world.  GPS integration lets you find local stations and the visualizer has 8 different displays.  Future updates include WMA support and background operation. Updated to version 3.2, this free dictionary app for your iPhone features 200,000 definitions, a spell check and a thesaurus.  It may be simple, but it’s great for kids at school. The iPhone version of the hugely popular problem solving TV gameshow.  Play through four zones – Medieval, Futuristic, Aztec and Industrial before entering the Crystal Dome!  Both campaign and challenge modes are included along with OpenFeint support and a soundboard from the TV show.  Look out for an update adding more levels in March. A free game from the space agency.  Guide your electric rover around the surface of the moon as you support the activites of Earth’s lunar outpost.  It’s educational too, as there are images and information on what the actual prototype vehicle does, as well as proposed lunar outpost designs. Got something to hide?  TigerText will cover your SMS tracks by never really sending the message, leaving no record of it on either phone or your network, but you and your recipient will never notice the difference!  It’s free for 100 messages, but the you’ll have to pay a subscription fee. Although the title makes it sound like a weather report, this is the sequel to the World War II FPS.  Graphically, it looks amazing, but there are concerns about the control system, so be prepared for a steep learning curve with this one!  Brothers in Arms 2 has a multiplayer mode over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
