There is a brewing controversy between beers simulation applications for the iPod Touch/iPhone, iBeers’ s creator Hotrix sued Coors Brewing Co. for stealing its application concept and apply it to a advertising campaign, iBeer cost $3 while iPint is free.
Hotrix requested Apple to remove the iPint application from the AppStore because of the legal situation and similarities between both Apps and legal woes.
But what I find interesting is who will buy these kind of application that only serve to show you how cool the iphone is. This kind of app can be run once, when played more than once it losses the joice. It is wise to say that the iPint is a totally ripoff of a useless application, Coors better solve this out of Court and helps Hotrix to make more drinking apps for the iPhone/iPod Touch. We all need them, duh!.

Now to create a bigger mess is dBeer, the same app concept with a different name, the dBeer application fills the screen with a synthetic beverage complete with rising bubbles and a foamy head that oscillates when the device shakes. To enjoy, simply tap the screen to fill, pour, and repeat. Users can choose from a selection of glass logos and beverage choices including light beer, dark beer, and an extreme green soda. dBeer is a free application.
Another drinking application is iMilk, using the same concept of iBeer Hotrix created the iMilk, an application that demonstrates the accelerometers in the iPhone and nothing else.

But if too much drinking get you drunk, you can buy RU Drunk, an application that will let you know if you are totally drunk, you will be asked to solve 5 different tests serie in order to know your alcohol level. RU Drunk cost $2.99 at the AppStore. RU Drunk is a usable application because it provides a real solution to a increasing problem in the U. S.
