In my... weekly ode... to... Star Trek.. I must...
focus on... an injustice. Okay, I'll stop. What is
this injustice? It appears our own Captain, Paul
Forecki, is getting to attend a sneak peak of the the
new Star Trek film. While Paul and I both battle for
ultimate geek supremacy here at VOXUS, he has been
invited to this private show... and I'm left feeling
like Tuvok in Voyager's episode 13 of season five (oh
yes I did). But alas I must let this go and focus on
some real news.
According to Wired: With J.J. Abrams’ flashy new Star Trek landing in theaters this week, Apple’s iTunes Store is brimming with Trek-themed apps for iPhones and next-generation touchscreen iPods.
Here are a few of the coolest Star Trek iPhone apps, which draw from the sci-fi series four-decade run on TV and movie screens.
Star Trek Phaser: Originating at Paramount Digital Entertainment, the free Phaser app turns your phone or MP3 player into the handy weapon that the youthful Enterprise crew use in Abrams’ flick. Both a game and a simulator, the app comes packed with images and trailers for the movie’s May 7 release.
Star Trek Wisdom Quotations: A less flashy, but more inspiring, entry comes from CHS Systems. The $1 Star Trek Wisdom app offers insightful quotes from Spock and the gang (or the folks writing scripts for them, anyway).
Star Trek: Alien Spotlight: Quickly brush up on the Star Trek universe’s alien races with the Star TrekAlien Spotlight series. Released by iVerse Media, these $1 graphic novel-style apps present the background data on various Trek aliens, including the Gorn, the Andorians and those pointy-eared bastards the Vulcans.
Star Trek: Countdown: Also from iVerse comes the $1 app version of Countdown, the official comic book lead-up to the new movie. The movie prequel is only one title in an ever-growing collection of Trek comic apps.
