Pusoy Dos, ZZips and other Pinoy iPhone Apps

The number of iPhone Apps for Filipinos (or the Philippines) are growing. Two of my recent favorites are Pusoy Dos (Big2 Poker) and ZZips.

ZZips is an area code/zip code locator which could be pretty handy especially if you’re the type who frequently sends out greeting cards and snail mail letters.

Pusoy Dos (Big2 Poker) is a popular Filipino card game — one that I’ve been waiting for to be posted in the iPhone App Store.

These two are also currently on the top 10 most downloaded in the iPhone App store (for the Philippines). There are a couple dozen other iPhone apps out there specific to the Philippines/Filipinos (just search using the keyword Philippines) in iTunes. Check out the Classical Philippines Radio, SpaceBlaster Puzzles, Philippines Offline Street Map, SabiNila, Coversational Tagalog and iManila.

Pusoy Dos frequently crashes. BTW, I got it for free via FreeAppAlert.com

Pusoy Dos crashes a lot so i deleted it. ZZIPS on the other hand is very stable and i find it using almost everyday :)

Developer of that app is also the founder of applei.ph site. The filipino iphone community

Hey guys! Speaking of games on cellphones, I just read in the Phillipine Star (Aug 14 page 16)that there’s another mobile game from SMART. It’s a reverse auction game where the lowest and unique bidder gets to purchase an item for his winning bid. I know Globe and SUN already did this before…must be really fun kase it keeps coming back into the mobile gaming scene. But this one, it seems, offers bigger items (MacBook MB 467, Sony 32″ LCD with Home Theater, Sony Handycam HDR-SR12).
