According to the AppleBlogs twitter coverage of the WWDC 2009 conference in San Francisco I had been following today, Apple just announced that it will release the iPhone OS 3.0 on June 17th. There will also be a new iPhone coming out on June 19th, the iPhone 3GS (S for SPEED). They boosted the camera, added auto-focus and video capture. They also claim extended battery life and a starting price for the 16gb unit at $199.
This is great news, we had been holding off on purchasing the iPhone and have been exclusively doing our development testing on the iPod Touch. We are also pleased because our recent releases of Meghan’s Memory Game passed the 3.0 test Apple had began at the beginning of May. Now we need to incorporate some of those new features into our apps! To learn more about Meghans Memory Game view the product page.

Now available on iTunes, Meghan’s Memory Game Preschool for the iPhone and iPod Touch contains over 200 age appropriate words. This edition kicks off with the V1.2 game engine!
The idea behind the game is for your preschooler to remember the position of the words that have been revealed on previous turns. It is a great game to develop attention, learn new words and sharp listening skills.
Meghan’s Memory Game Preschool starts with twelve cards. The player is instructed to find the matching pairs of cards until the board is cleared. To help develop reading skills, as each card is selected a real voice announces the word. As a match is made Meghan praises the great effort with phrase like “Good Job” and “Awesome”. When the board is cleared a surprising splash screen is displayed with sounds of children cheering and some more praises from Meghan. The second level fills the screen with additional cards and the game concludes when the player completes the matches. Both the number of tries and the score is kept during game play.
Features:
- Grade appropriate word matching
- Spoken words
- Two levels of difficulty
- Engaging and educational gameplay
- Sharpens memory skills
- Develops reading and word recognition
Enhancements to Meghan’s Memory Game engine V1.2:
- More time to read the words when non matching cards are flipped over.
- Sound effects during card flips to make the game a bit more fun for the little ones.
As mentioned in our previous post, in the latest update of Meghan’s memory game we enhanced the way the cards flip over. Version 1.2 of Kindergarten should be showing up in the App Store anytime now (our updates status has been changed to “Ready For Sale”).
Here is a video of how it now functions:
