iGevalt Chanukah Dreidel Game For iPhone and iPod
iGevalt is beautiful Chanukah dreidel game with realistic 3D graphics and sounds. You spin the dreidel with a swipe of your finger, or by using two fingers and “spinning” it. When it lands, a popup appears that shows you what you got and what to do with the “pot” when you’re playing the dreidel game. iGevalt is available now for the iPhone and iPod touch for $.99 from the app store.
iPhone App Created In Just 6 Days
It’s a miracle! ArcTouch created iGevalt in just 6 days! And on the 7th day… we submitted it to the Apple app store! Just in time for Chanukah.
Seriously, this app was created in exactly one week, but still has the polish and refinement you can expect from the iPhone apps that ArcTouch creates. We used a 3D modeling tool to create the stunning dreidel graphics, including the shadows and reflections, and recorded a series of audio clips from children playing an actual dreidel game for the realistic sounds during play.
The experts agree, iGevalt is the best dreidel app available for the iPhone and iPod. Here’s some proof:
It’s super fun! My dad doesn’t like me getting chocolate fingers all over the phone’s screen though. (Jason, 5)
Oy vey. This is about as authentic as you can get without the real thing… and I should know! Now can you use that GPS to help me find some good latkes? (Rabbi Abraham Westheim, 62)

For those who were wondering, there’s a wide variety of ways to spell Chanukah and Dreidel. Here’s the most common variations: Chanukah, Hanukah, Chanukkah, Hanukkah, Dreidel, Dreydel, Draydel.
Captain ArcTouch Saves Phonopolis
Meet Captain ArcTouch, digital defender of justice, and his super apps! Captain ArcTouch is an iPhone comic book app developed by ArcTouch.
To Install The Captain ArcTouch Web App:
- From the Safari app on your iPhone or iPod touch, visit the Captain ArcTouch install page (http://arctouch.com/captain). If you go there from your Mac or PC this will not work – you must visit from your phone.
- Follow the instructions you see on-screen to add the app directly to your phone. Web Apps do not need to be downloaded to iTunes first.
Web Apps Delivers Full Functionality In A Browser
Captain ArcTouch is a Web App. Web apps are delivered over the Internet from a web site to an iPhone or iPod touch through Safari web browser. Unlike traditional mobile web sites, however, which are simplified web pages created for viewing over a the browser on the phone, Web Apps are very similar to the graphically rich and interactive “native apps” delivered through the iTunes App Store.
For example, Web Apps can contain complex animations and transitions through the capabilities of modern HTML5 and CSS. Web Apps can also take advantage of unique functionality of the hardware device, such as the GPS, acceleromoter and swipe and pinch/zoom gestures. Web Apps can store data locally on the phone, and can even be launched right from the phone’s home screen into full screen (without Safari’s navigation buttons) like our very own Captain ArcTouch web app. Best of all, Web Apps can be deployed quickly and easily right from your own web site and can be updated just as easily too.
Web Apps are also more portable to other platforms, since the Android, BlackBerry and the Pre all have some support for modern HTML5 and CSS.

Tip ‘em! Selected By Palm For App Catalog
We’re pleased to announce that Tip ‘em! – the tip calculator and check splitter for the Palm Pre – has been selected by Palm to be one of only 50 apps included as initial members of the Palm App Catalog. Starting today, Tip ‘em! is available through the App Catalog app on the Pre. Tip ‘em! helps you quickly and accurately determine the tip amount on a check and split the bill between multiple diners. It makes it easy to exclude items from the tip calculation, such as drinks and tax.
The Official Palm Blog writes…
Tip ’em! not only crunches through the calculations you need to figure out the appropriate tip, but adds some nice coffee-stained touches of realism to the experience.
Fun and Functional Design
Tip calculators in general are nothing new, but this one raises the bar on both functionality and design. ArcTouch developed Tip ‘em! for Azoombi and combined a custom background graphic (a retro “diner” check complete with a coffee stain) and seamlessly blended in the native touch controls of the Pre for the “picker” lists for tip amount, rounding and split amount.
Key Features Of Tip ‘em! Tip Calculator For Pre
- Easily enter the total bill using the numeric keypad
- Select a tip amount between 0% and 30%
- Split the check between 2 and 10 people (optional)
- Exclude tax and drinks from the tip calculation (optional)
- Round the tip or the total to make splitting the bill easier (optional)
- Rich retro graphical interface
Beam It! Now Available In App Store
Today Beam It! was accepted into the app store and we couldn’t be happier. Now you can effortlessly beam your contact info to another iPhone or iPod Touch user. Those “oohs” and “ahhs” that you’re hearing today are not from the July 4th fireworks, but from Beam It! users marveling at the simplicity of the spontaneous peer-to-peer contact sharing over wireless Bluetooth.
Spread the news and tell everyone to get Beam It! today.
Beam It! Source Code Still Available For Game Kit Developers
ArcTouch is still offering the full Beam It! source code with free usage rights for iPhone developers to add Game Kit peer-to-peer capabilities from iPhone OS 3.0 to your own apps.
Early Access To Palm Pre webOS, Mojo Application Framework, and Mojo SDK
Palm has accepted ArcTouch into the early access Palm Pre developer program and given us the Palm Pre Mojo SDK. We’re thrilled to be part of this exclusive group of Palm Pre developers who have early access and are well underway to developing great Palm Pre software applications for our clients.
Palm Pre webOS
Palm webOS, the next generation operating system from Palm, integrates the power of a window-based operating system with the simplicity of a browser. The user experience is designed around multitasking, and makes it easy to run background applications, switch between applications in a single step, and handle interruptions and events without losing context. Using webOS, we’re able to develop fast (and beautiful) apps for our customers.
Palm Pre Mojo Application Framework
Palm webOS applications are easy to program using Mojo, a new application framework based on the HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript standards. WebOS applications are installed and run directly on the device at native speed and have access to a wide range of device services.
Mojo allows us to:
- Program apps with gesture-based navigation, transitions, and scrolling
- Use the webOS notification system to alert users without interrupting them
- Leverage the local storage capabilities of HTML5 so that data is available even when users are offline
- Use a JSON-based message bus to tap into a wide range of device services, including contacts, calendars, and location
Palm Pre Mojo SDK
Besides the Palm Mojo Application Framework, the SDK includes an Eclipse-based IDE, sample code, documentation, and development tools.
Application Development For Palm Pre
There’s currently a limited number of apps in the Palm App Catalog so there’s plenty of opportunity for new applications. If you’ve got a brand new idea for an app, or you’ve got an existing iPhone, Android or BlackBerry app that you want to offer on the Palm Pre, contact ArcTouch to learn about our custom application development and programming services for the Palm Pre.

ArcTouch Releases First Application To Use iPhone OS 3.0 Peer To Peer Game Kit APIs
New “Beam It!” App Sends Contact Information Wirelessly Between iPhones
San Francisco, California (June 4, 2009) — ArcTouch, developers of custom software applications for the iPhone, today released Beam It! This is the first generally available application that uses the new spontaneous peer to peer connectivity features of the iPhone OS 3.0.
Beam It! allows you to wirelessly “beam” your contact information to another iPhone or iPod Touch, and features automatic discovery of other handheld devices near you running Beam It!
“The original Apple Newton and the Palm Pilot had the ability to beam contacts between devices. Now, with Apple’s new iPhone OS 3.0 and Beam It!, we have brought back this fun and useful feature,” said Adam Fingerman, ArcTouch’s VP of Products and Solutions. “This is simply the fastest and easiest way of sharing your contact info with friends or new business associates.”
Truly Wireless with Zero Configuration
Beam It! automatically discovers other nearby iPhone and iPod Touch devices running Beam It!, and then uses Bluetooth to spontaneously create an ad-hoc peer to peer network to share contact information. The automatic discovery and connection is handled seamlessly by Bonjour, without any need to manually set configurations or pair devices.
Free to iPhone Developers
Beam It! is immediately available to iPhone developers at http://arctouch.com/beamit. With over 5000 developers expected at Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) next week, these developers will be able to easily exchange their business card contact info wirelessly – without the need to retype names into their iPhones.
“If you’re a developer and planning to attend WWDC, you should download and install Beam It! before you go. At the conference, with everyone running Beam It!, you won’t want to be the only person left out carrying a bunch of business cards,” said ArcTouch’s CEO, Eric N. Shapiro. “We’re excited about the peer to peer connectivity and other new features in iPhone OS 3.0. We’re glad to offer Beam It! free to developers in advance of WWDC so they can use it to easily share their contact information.”
ArcTouch is also providing the full source code with free usage rights to members of the iPhone Developer Program so they can see how to use the new peer to peer APIs in the Game Kit framework. Visit http://arctouch.com/beamit for more information and download instructions.
Availability
The Beam It! source code and Xcode project are available now to iPhone developers at http://arctouch.com/beamit. Consumers will be able to get Beam It! for the iPhone and iPod Touch directly from the App Store soon after iPhone OS 3.0 is released by Apple.

BlackBerry Storm App That Looks Like An iPhone App
Tip calculators in general are nothing new, but this one raises the bar on both functionality and design, showing that BlackBerry apps can look just as good as any iPhone app. ArcTouch developed this BlackBerry app in Java. We combined a custom background graphic (a retro “diner” check complete with a coffee stain) with the built-in handwriting font (which our engineers figured out how to write at an angle for realism – no small feat!) and seamlessly blended in the native touch controls of the Storm for the numeric keypad entry and “picker” lists for tip amount, rounding and split amount.

- Easily enter the total bill using the touch numeric keypad
- Select a tip amount between 0% and 30%
