Remember back 6 weeks ago Steve first introduced the iPad? We were thrilled with the news and decided to give away a spanking new iPad WiFi with 64GB!

We’ve asked on how we could leverage the new technology to improve our existing iPhone/iPod Touch apps and develop new apps specifically for the iPad, and we have received over a hundred ideas — Some very cool, some kinda generic. Anyhow, today is the big day to announce the winner of this sweepstakes.

As @stigay has suggested, we used random.org for this random drawing, and here goes!

The lucky winner is…. (drum roll, please)

the entry # 17!

The year 2009 was a fabulous year for Vanilla Breeze. We’ve grown from a group of 3 to 15. We’ve created several dozens of mobile apps that are sold in 90 countries around the world. A number of our apps have been top-rated in many countries, and we’ve won a handful of awards and recognitions from press. All these would have never been possible without your continuing support. We want to thank you all.

The year 2010 is going to be even more fascinating than ever! We’ve got exciting plans for new app ideas, as well as updates of existing apps. So keep coming back to our blog and share your thoughts with us! We try our best to provide answers (though not in very timely manner) to your questions and suggestions, but we wanted to let you know that we do read every single email.

Once again, thank you all.
Happy new year and happy shooting!

The long-awaited i-Gun update has been declined multiple times in a row for very minute reasons.

1. Apple told us the images from the shooting range mode are objectionable.

Well, we can name out at least a dozen games that are now on the Top 100 Action Game ranking that are associated with direct targeting and shooting of human figures, some even with expression of gore and blood. If FPS games like Doom, Modern Combat, or several sniper games are in the App Store, it’s difficult to imagine why we can’t use human targets. Apple, please let us expect some consistency in your review process.

2. Apple thinks i-Gun cash pop-up looks much like In-App Purchase, thus leading to user confusion.

Are they seriously thinking that people will buy the silencer for $1000 Cash? (We can’t be happier if they did.) In any case, we’ve decided to change the symbol for the currency. So, from the next version, you’ll see 1,000G (as in gold), not $1,000. Also, we have made a custom-designed pop-up window to minimize potential user confusion (if there had been any).

3. and some technical stuff…

A line of code which has never been any problem in the past couple updates was detected, and Apple said no-no, even though it only affects those with illegal cracked copies of i-Gun by shutting down the application (no calling home, so don’t worry).

We can’t emphasize enough that we’re very much disappointed with Apple’s continued disapproval of i-Gun update.

In the meanwhile, we have two more updates already being developed for the near future, so stay tuned, and happy shooting!

It’s been awhile since the last update of i-Gun, and thanks to the numerous i-Gun supporters around the globe who rooted and cheered for us. (As you can well imagine, we’ve been getting so many emails we couldn’t keep up answering every single email.)

Why has there been delay in the update?

We’ve had an unfortunate power outrage in August, and we lost quiet a bit of work, so we ended up rebuilding a lot of design works and finally the new update is ready for Apple’s approval!

The new update of i-Gun comes with a required download of i-Gun Promo Pack, which will be available for FREE.

- The gun selection page has been completely redesigned to take advantage of the innovative iPhone user interface.
- Each machine gun now has a 3 selection switch – Safety mode, Manual, and Automatic
- More & Better effects, Cash system update, Minor bug fixes…
- and last not least, a new unlockable weapon

Thanks again to all i-Gun & i-Gun Lite supporter who have been patient with this new update.

We have been recently approached by Apple’s Developer Support Team and was told to remove “broken LCD” references from the product description of iSurprise. A few days after we have fixed the product description, we received another phone call telling us to remove the cracking animation effects from iSurprise.

Why? we asked.

Their rational behind this request was that Apple is getting too many phone calls from their customers telling them their devices have become broken by using iSurprise.

What? (We were speechless)

The cracking stamp from iSurprise is just one of many effects that users can choose from, and it’s not the default option. This means the user has to deliberately select the option. Once the application is shut down by pressing the Home button, all the effects are gone. When you return to the application by relaunching, the full screen setting is automatically disabled  so that the menu bar on top will be shown and the user is forced to set it back to full screen mode again. There is zero possibility that user will come to think that their iPhone has become broken as a result of using this application.

Well, after a long talk, we were given three options.

1) Apple will take the application down from AppStore.
2) We remove the application from sale.
3) We remove the cracking feature from iSurprise and upload the new binary for approval.

We have reluctantly chosen #3 as our choice, and the new binary has been uploaded for Apple’s approval. This week will be probably the last week you can purchase iSurprise, with the broken LCD prank effects.

From time to time, Apple’s app approval policy changes, (for example, iFart was something not allowed in the AppStore for quite some time) so we hope that Apple will eventually open up the gate for these types of prank apps in the near future, but until then, farewell iSurprise!
