iPhone Application Watch: PlasmaLite, Adrenaline Pool Lite, Wal-Mart site, Snocator

PlasmaLite

PlasmaLite is a free version of the full-blown Plasma game which tests your reactions by getting you to tap on blue plasma balls while avoiding red ones.

Sounds very simple, and indeed it is, but it could provide some amusement. Just don't hit the screen too hard.

Adrenaline Pool Lite

Adrenaline Pool is probably the first pool and snooker game which allows you to play against live opponents, much as you could on Yahoo! Games.

The Lite version is a free and cut-down version of the full game. It's easy to automatically play against other people connected to the servers, on either 8-ball or 9-ball pool or snooker.

The game play is fairly easy, though manoeuvring the cue around the edges of the full-screen table can sometimes be tricky. The snooker balls are probably a little on the large side, too, but for sheer enjoyment, it works.

The advanced, pay for version allows solo play and proper naming of your character, among other things. However, the lite version doesn't seem to be restricted in any other way, so you can get a good feel for it before deciding whether to pay for the full version.

Wal-Mart custom iPhone web site

Not an application, but Wal-Mart joins a long list of organisations created iPhone-friendly web sites, with automatic redirection (which I hate) to a site that allows for browsing products and services. The only part of the service which isn't optimised is purchasing, which redirects to the standard Wal-Mart site.

Snocator

Snocator is an iPhone application from Useful Networks which utilises GPS to allow users to plot their mountain trails, plan runs, check snow reports, mountain cams, weather forecasts, and so on.

"Built for snow sports addicts by snow sports addicts, Snocator is the only iPhone application to use location-enabled ski maps to show snow sports enthusiasts where they are on the mountain, with all nearby lifts, runs, lodges, terrain parks and more pictured in detail."

Currently mapping only works well in the US and Canada, so those heading to Europe or further afield will have to wait to see if there's a localised update.
