Unleashed your Jedi's Lighsaber into your iPhone/iPod Touch

Either you're a Star Wars fan or not, you must have guessed what this app is about when you read its title: Lightsaber. Yes sir, my good master Jedi. It's about Star Wars.

Some of you might also have noticed the first version of this app, when it first came out it's called PhoneSaber. But soon after its first release, PhoneSaber dissappear from App Store. The mystery quickly resolved, after the official Star Wars the Force Unleashed game for iPhone/iPod Touch was released, it's turned into Lightsaber Unleashed.

The main difference between PhoneSaber and Lightsaber Unleashed, is that the latest one has the official go from Lucasart and it's now legally licensed. Aside from that, some reviews have say they're dissappointed by the upgrade version instead of the first release. Here's one good review from Macenstein:

"Once you load the app, you are given a choice between 5 different Star Wars characters to do battle as. At first you might think these 5 would correspond to the 5 colors of lightsabers you had in the original PhoneSaber app, but you’d be wrong. Sure, you still have the choice of 5 colors, but 3 of them are RED. That’s right, they have 3 characters who have the exact same colored LightSaber, so no yellow or purple saber for you. I might also be crazy, but the accelerometer’s sensitivity to shaking seems somewhat less responsive than I remember the original PhoneSaber’s being."

Although, personally, I don't quite get it why the Lighsaber Unleashed doesn't include Luke Skywalker or Mace Windu with his purple colored lighsaber. ;-p It would be cool though...
