Koloroo releases MystikBall for iPod

Koloroo has released its first free application designed for any iPod with a color screen. The software, titled MystikBall, is designed to offer answers to life's hardest questions right on an iPod. "Should I quit my job? Should I eat another Twinkie? Should I turn myself in? Just ask the questions and leave the hard work to MystikBall." Users simply ask a yes or no question, close their eyes, and spin a finger around the iPod's click-wheel to produce an answer. The software features animated bubbles, dark liquid, and a glowing theme. MystikBall 1.0 is available for free as "Careware," providing users who download the software perform an act of kindness.
