Today's Best Apps: Cactus Player And Brick Breaker Warz
Cactus Player by Daniel Ceballos (Free, 9.2 MB): This private streaming audio service and player puts your songs at your fingertips no matter which iDevice or where. By using your Mac as a host, every bit of that hand-picked music collection you already own can be accessed on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad without taking up mobile storage space. Once setup, selection and playback is quite seamless and very similar to that of Apple's own Music app. Browse by albums or artists, create on-the-go playlists, or search to get exactly what you desire. Playback controls include the scrubbing and volume sliders, play or pause button, next and previous buttons, plus album artwork and song information. In addition, the app supports background playback and lock screen operation. Registration of a free account as well as the OS X compatible serving software is required.
Universal:
Brick Breaker Warz by Zurf Games (Free, 12.2 MB): Find a tabletop and a friend, then get seated for an action-packed head-to-head competition as two classics, Pong and Breakout, meet, resulting in this exciting multiplayer brick-breaking game. With no time to waste, you and your temporary foe will work as quickly and efficiently as possible to bust apart the barrier of digital blocks separating now twitchy fingers. In fact, every hit counts and every miss matters because there are no breaks, those balls just keep on coming, plus plenty of advantage swinging power-ups and power-downs waiting to be put into action. Additional powers can be unlocked via a $0.99 in-app purchases.
