Although nothing can really equate to the thrill of watching blocks fall after you pull a piece out of the Jenga tower in real life, the iPhone game that was released today is sure to provide some thrills as well. Jenga for the iPhone plays pretty realistically overall and simulates a real-life Jenga game about as accurately as you could expect on a Smart Device.
Developed by NaturalMotion Games, Jenga for the iPhone has top notch graphics, but does not include support for the iPhone 4 gyroscope feature, which is something that would have went very well with a Jenga game
At only $2.99, the price is fair for the amount of work that obviously went into the game that allows you to play Jenga in multiple different locations with beautiful backdrops. Jenga is something that fans of board game apps for the unlocked iPhone 4 will certainly love, and allows you [...]

Last Friday Rogers announced that they had come to a huge agreement with the Government in Canada that is worth a total of $117 million. At the time, it looked as though Rogers had put themselves at a competitive advantage in signing the contract.

TELUS announced today that they had also reached a 4 year agreement with the government that is worth more than $45 million in total. Bell made a similar announcement today, saying that they had reached a deal that was worth $33.86 million overall.
Although neither company’s deal was as large as the $117 million deal that Rogers reached with the Government of Canada Public Works, it does show that the [...]
