If you ever watched a professional automotive racing event, whether it was NASCAR or something else, you undoubtedly noticed that the cars tend to bump into each other a lot. The more the vehicles bump into each other, the more their performance is degraded. Griffin has unveiled a new iOS controlled racing car called the Moto TC Rally that brings the “rubbin’ is racing” mentality to the toy world.

The Moto TC Rally is a remote control car that uses an iOS application for control. The coolest part about the car is its Bump n’ Run feature. That feature uses impact sensors around the car to know when your competitors run into you. You can score points for causing damage to competitors and the more virtual damage your vehicle sustains, the worse your car handles and drives.

You can also just race the cars and the app has a built-in lap counter. The app also offers a number of power ups allowing you to repair your vehicle and add virtual armor. You can also deploy attacks on your opponents including the ability to mix up their controls and make them go slower. The Moto TC Rally is available now for $99.99(USD).

Is your phone’s home screen getting too cluttered for your taste? You can either sort the icons into folders or get an app like Cover.

Cover is especially useful if you only use some apps at certain times of the day. For most of the day, while you’re at work, you probably use work-related apps the most. When you’re home, that’s the time you probably check sports scores or read random articles on Flipboard. Then there are the apps you use most frequently when you’re on the road, like maps and GPS.

Cover automatically changes homescreen and device settings depending on whether you’re at home, work, in the car, or somewhere else, and learns which apps you use most often in each of these locations. The app is also smart in the sense that it can identify whether you’re driving in your car or working on foot by using your device’s gyroscope and accelerometer.

Cover’s unique ‘Peek UI’ feature lets users check out certain apps as well without having to unlock their phones. You can also quickly switch between apps, sort of like the “ALT-TAB” key combination from Windows.

Cover will be launching for Android devices soon on the Google Play Store. In the meantime, you can check their website for updates.
