Scott McFly released an update to his Blackjack game for Nintendo DS.

Changes:

* A basic stats page has been added to help you keep track of your win/draw/loss record and how many blackjack’s you’ve racked up. These reset when you return to the main menu.
* The background has now been extended over both screens, so the top screen is now no longer just black, which makes it look a lot better IMO.
* The buttons now fade-out when going to the next page to add a bit of polish to the game.
* If the player gets blackjack, the dealer will no longer take any cards (as there’s no point!) unless they’re on a 10 or an ace in which case they take one more card to check if they have blackjack too.
* General tweaks to the split card system in regards to giving you new cards and how they appear on screen.
* And finally a nice sound effect on button presses, the first piece of audio to make it into a release, hooray!

http://weisms.googlecode.com/files/isms-1.0-rc1.zip

iSMS 1.0-rc1(PXL) is available for download! The installer source is still waiting for STE’s update and I know he’s busy recently, so please be patient.

READ FIRST
– To 1.1.3 Users
1.1.3 is is not supported yet. So please don’t install if you’re. It will not work. Why ? well I have only one iPhone(phone and toy as well) I don’t want to take the risk of upgrading it to 1.1.3. That’s it.

– To 1.1.2 Users
Some advanced/cool features is not working on your phone, such as SMS black list, badge update… Why? same reason as above.

– To 1.0.2 & 1.1.1 users
Congrats, I’m sticky on 1.0.2, so sure it will work without any problems. Also I have the chance to debug my app on my friend’s 1.1.1 phone and all features should work also on 1.1.1

– What’s new since 1.0 RC1 ?
* A new helper module(dylib) is introduced and by injecting it into the SpringBoard process, iSMS now can take over the default apple SMS application! (Currently only support 1.0.2/1.1.1)
* Simple but True SMS BlackList?, yes it’s true! No pop up, no daemon! Message will be deleted silently though.
* New recipient UI. after several days’s hard reversing, I finally managed to use the system UI components to display the recipients. More apple-ish Now!
* Save to draft
* Template customization
* Could remove the 1000 message capacity limit.

iSMS 1.0RC1 is not perfect, but it has been tested by 10K chinese iPhoners during the lunar chinese new year. So it should work for most of you. If you have any problems, please submit issue ticket at http://code.google.com/p/weisms/

Last but not least, Thanks for your interesting and please consider donate if you think it’s good. With your help, I believe I can make a killer SMS app for you.

iMapIdle is an iPhone application that simulates “Push Email” with your IMAP server. It’s in its early stages but the current features are:

– listens in the background waiting for new IMAP mail even if you are in sleep/standby mode
– notifies you via a popup and/or sound. You choose how to be notified. Sound notification should use the same method your mail client uses (ie: if you have vibrate on, it’ll vibrate as well)
– popup notification allows you to choose whether the mail client should check for email right there by forcing the mail client to check the server (it doesn’t launch the mail client but just forces it to check the server). NOTE: Don’t choose this if you are in the mail client as it will exit (you’ve been warned). The popup will disappear after 20 seconds and if you miss it the iMapIdle icon will show you how many popup notifications you have missed
– supports SSL connections and special support for GMail IMAP
