Remember what we told you about the Apps for Healthy Kids, the competition for designing apps, games and other tools that help children make healthier lifestyle choices announced by Michelle Obama?
The competition is now closed and you can browse and test all of the applications submitted (some to download, some to be played online and some to carry on your smartphones) on the Apps for Healthy Kids website. Get ready to vote your favorite app from July 14th to August 14th!

An 11-year old boy wrote an application for iPhone, then decided to donate some of the proceeds from that app to a children’s hospital (the Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA in Westwood and Santa Monica) where he was receiving care at the moment. Cameron learned how to programme watching Stanford University professors on iTunes and managed to create an app called iBrush, a drawing and painting programme which also allows you to send your drawings via email. Visit Cameron’s blog for more info.

You can now carry Marvel Comics (as well as comics from nearly two dozens publishers) in your pocket as several of them will be available for purchase for $ 2 via in-app purchase from the Comics iPhone Apps (free). Select the comic you wish to read, than watch the panel flows as it simulates your eye’s movement across paper pages. You also get to zoom, rotate and get the best fit for each panel. Fun!
The Marvel comics available initially are Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men, Robert Kirkman’s five-issue Marvel Zombies miniseries, first 30 issues of Captain America, and two other X-Men-related books, X-23 and X-Men: Age of Apocalypse, each six issues long. But many more are on the way…
