Solar Walk is available in the Mac App Store at $2.99. There’s even a 3D mode that will require you to wear cyan-red glasses – too bad I don’t have them here right now. The app also allows you to move in time to see the position of planets and satellites in a certain day, month and year. The 3D graphics aren’t breathtaking but they get the job done, the popover menus with descriptions seem to be taken out of the iPad app. Pretty much like Star Walk for the iPhone and iPad (which Cody originally reviewed here), Solar Walk for Mac is a full-featured 3D solar system model that allows you to move between stars and planets with your mouse, zoom in to check on the planets’ details and read accurate descriptions about them. You can zoom out to view the entire galaxy (well, at least through what’s known of this galaxy), see a planet’s inner structure and learn about its history of exploration. Winner of an Apple Design Award in the iPad category in June 2010, Vito Technologies today released a Mac version of Solar Walk, available now in the Mac App Store at $2.99. IGotYa will cost you 6 buck, but it’s that sort of investment you will not regret. And he won’t know while attempting to unlock the stolen phone. So if you ended up losing your iPhone because of someone you took it, not only you’ll know where he is, you’ll also get to see his face.

The app requires a front facing camera, meaning that it will only run on the iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4th gen. ![]() We all want to keep an eye on our iPhones, right? iGotYa, combined with Apple’s Find My iPhone remote functionalities, is the ultimate tool to make sure you know who’s trying to mess with your iPhone. Available in the Cydia Store at $5.99 (Big Boss repo), iGotYa can take a picture of whoever tries to unlock your phone with the wrong passcode, using the front facing camera. The iGotYa app is one those utilities you don’t know you need until you try it and see its potential. This, however, should not affect most of the cases currently on the market, and we’re sure Apple will provide CDMA-ready solution come the official launch. So, the Verizon iPhone’s volume buttons and mute switch are in a different position than before. Plus, many cases have a larger opening for the aforementioned buttons than necessary – meaning that even in the new “location”, the cases will be just fine. While Apple’s own Bumpers may have problems to work with the slightly new design, it’s likely that Apple has already teamed up with accessory makers to provide a variety of CDMA iPhone-compatible cases at launch on February 10. ![]() Should you worry and start thinking about signing petitions online for Apple to revise its position on the buttons? Not really. Namely, the mute switch and volume buttons have been relocated to a lower position to make room for the new antenna design at the top. The Verizon iPhone has, in fact, relocated buttons that will make it impossible for some accessories to fit in properly. Amidst the excitement for the finally-announced iPhone 4 on Verizon, here come some interesting news for owners of an iPhone 4 on AT&T willing to switch to Big Red: some cases for the non-CDMA iPhone won’t fit with the new unit.
