Sigh. I finished Touch Physics too quickly! I accidentally discovered I could overwhelm it with rapid displacements and bully the poor ball to the star in almost every level

I now spend much more time at night with touch physics then I ever did in the app store.

It's very addicting and makes you feel that you're exercising your brain

@Steve LMAO good point. If it’s in your favorites then it’s just a double click of the home button and tap your choice. Done. The google mobile app searches your contacts too and all you have to do is raise it to your ear, one less tap.

To use the Voice Dial app when driving, you still have to push the home button, slide to unlock, then launch the app. That's three touches to the phone before moving it up to your face to speak into it. Then you often have to move the phone away from your face to view the choices of results if the app isn't sure (or even just to confirm it's calling the correct person). Then a fourth touch to choose from the results (if necessary), before having to move the phone back up to your face again.

I'd rather continue using the Contacts app at traffic lights, but that's just me. Usually five to six quick touches and no moving the phone back and fourth.
