We’re not smart enough to predict Apple or the iPhone in 2010 — obviously. But we know you, our magnificent readers, just might be. Check out the polls below and let us know what you think Apple and the iPhone, as well as iPod touch, Apple TV, iTunes, iTablet, and more will bring us in 2010. Note, this isn’t what you want them to do, it’s what you realistically think Apple will do.

Polls after the break!

Hills and Rivers Remain — Square Enix Real-Time Strategy Game for iPhone

Posted: 01 Jan 2010 06:30 AM PST

Hills and Rivers Remain Main

With Hills and Rivers Remain [$6.99 itunes link] Square Enix has created another intelligent, intense, beautiful real-time strategy game for the iPhone and iPod touch. If you loved Final Fantasy Tactics and Galcon then you will love Hills and Rivers. It brings epic music, great graphics, and challenging gameplay to your multi-touching fingertips.

Join us after the break for more screenshots and descriptions.

In the game you control an army and try to take over neighbouring lands by moving soldiers from one base to another. You also can find power-ups that can allow your troops increased speed, offence and defense.

Your troops travel along a grid with various bases which may be either ally, neutral or foe. When your army reaches a neutral or opposing base you each fight, with the winning army taking over the location. You tap on the base to which you would like to move armies and then use a slider to choose how many men you would like to move. You can only choose to move your army to a neighbouring base and need a linking road.

This game is played in real time and requires you to think fast. Various bases will give your army different possibilities, including cannons, stables and mines.

The storyline is typical for a Square Enix RPG and may at times seem overdone but it is entertaining and not overly verbose.

Hills and Rivers Remain will no doubt be enjoyed by those who like turn-based strategies and has enough versatility to be both challenging and entertaining.

There is also lite version [itunes link] if you want to try before you buy.

Either way, let us know what you think!

Following too many people on Twitter? Can’t separate the friends from the freaks, celebs from the geeks? Reportage [$1.99 - iTunes link] for iPhone and iPod touch takes an innovative “radio tuner” metaphor and uses it to cut through the Twitter chatter and let you stay up to date on just who you want, when you want. And thanks to developer Wherecloud, we’re giving away ten (10) free copies to kick the New Year off right!

If you want one, head on over to TiPb’s iPhone Forums and let us know who you want @reportage to help you tune in to. In other words, who’s the funniest, most entertaining, savviest, most illuminating, all-around awesomest Twitter account you want to keep up with in 2010. (And yes @ nobody! Get Twitter off my lawn! is a perfectly fine answer, and so is @theiphoneblog — but neither will help ya win!).

Note: Promo codes are only valid in the US App Store, so make sure you have a US App Store account if you want a chance to get a code! We’re picking 10 at random on Sunday night, 12 midnight ET. One entry per user. Etc.
