These include two drag-and-drop, single-use "units"--poison gas and an artillery barrage--which are expensive but effective when you used with care. (And since the Germans have access to gas and artillery, too, you have to keep a close eye on your own troop concentrations, because even a second or two of delay can break the back of your advance). Aeroflex 3920 User Manual forces you to keep adapting your strategy on the fly, as you manage your money (which lets you buy more troops), your fortifications (which you can build with your engineer), and the tactical positioning of your units. The game has a smart, adjustable (and at-times brutal) AI to keep you on your toes, and it's difficult to recover once you lose momentum. In addition to the campaign mode, the game also has multiplayer (Bluetooth and Wi-fi) and skirmish modes, with skirmish letting you play single maps with varying objectives and difficulty (including variants like king of the hill and zombie horde). While Aeroflex 3920 User Manual has a lot going for it, it's not perfect: when tested on a 3G, menus were often laggy and sometimes text wouldn't appear (so, for example, you couldn't see your money, score, unit costs, or in-game callouts). The game also slowed down and became unresponsive when many units were onscreen (making the otherwise fun zombie mode unplayable after a few minutes). That said, when Aeroflex 3920 User Manual works--which is most of the time--it's one of the best games of its kind.- We
began testing the iPhone version of MOG, a subscription on-demand music service, as soon as it became available. While it performs adequately, we haven't seen anything that really makes it stand out from the other competitors we've looked at recently, like Rhapsody, Thumbplay, and the still-in-beta Rdio. First, the positives. Sound quality was excellent when streaming over a 3G connection and you can download any song to store in a local cache, so you can play it even when you're offline (like Rhapsody and the BlackBerry version of Thumbplay). You can choose to download songs in
a high-quality (320kbps) version as well. The MOG radio feature works the same way as it does with MOG's Web-based application: it builds a playlist around your currently playing song, and a slider lets you control how much variety you want--you can play all songs from the same artist (a nice touch that free radio services like Pandora lack), or mostly songs from other artists. We were also favorably impressed with the depth of MOG's catalog, which has improved since we looked at it last year--it had selections from a local Seattle band, The Curious Mystery, which we haven't seen in too many other places, and most of the big names (with the usual exceptions like The Beatles) are present, with a full array of songs and albums. Unfortunately, there are some problems with the playback experience. There's no scroll bar for the currently playing song, so you can't fast-forward, rewind, or move to a specific point. There's also no way to add songs to the currently playing queue--as soon as you touch the song you'd like to add, it immediately interrupts the currently playing song and skips to the song you touched. This is particularly annoying, because it does add the new song to the current playlist...at the bottom. MOG says it'll add both of these features in the next few weeks. The search function also failed with surprising frequency on single songs--it didn't find Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" or "Train Kept A-Rollin'" by the Yardbirds, even though both are in the service's library and available when you search by album or artist. Using MOG on your iPhone will cost you $9.99 a month, which is the same as most of these other services. We still find Thumbplay to have the best user interface, and we're intrigued by Rdio's ability to recogniz
