The Low Down: Palringo is a chat App that allows you to log into and chat on almost all the different chat networks. It is a very handy app if you love to chat on your phone. The only problem we found about Palringo is the fact it does not make a noise when anyone signs in so if you are waiting to talk to someone you have to continuously check back over and over again to see if they have signed in. The IM and social networking services you can use with Palringo are:

The Low Down: Who would have known throwing a virtual piece of paper into a virtual garbage can could be so addicting? Well it is because the Paper Toss app as become one of the most popular apps and we can see why! Paper Toss is by far the most addictive game we have found for the Iphone. It has five different levels, Easy, Medium, Hard,, Airport, Basement.
The object of the game is to toss a piece of paper into a garbage can and the harder the level is the further away the garbage can is. All that sounds easy but their is one catch to the game, they throw in a fan that blows air across you at different speeds pushing your piece of paper in different directions so you have to account for the wind and throw the paper in the opposite direction of the wind.
We aren’t very good at it so we play it on easy and the top score for the Epic Media office is 33. Let us know what you guys think of the game and what your high scores are!
