If you’ve been looking for a good image to use as a wallpaper on your iPhone or iPod Touch, look no further. Appledeco is a neat website where you’ll find nearly 5,000 free wallpapers spanning across 34 categories such as sports, cinama, tv, architecture, nature, animals, art, and babes.

Bare in mind that some of the wallpapers are not of highest quality, but I’m sure with the sheer number of images available, you’ll find something appealing…

Enough said. Here’s a link to the Appledeco’s website.

We’ve already talked about the futuristic Nokia device found in the new Star Trek movie. To further bank on the publicity, the Finnish giant has launched a dedicated Star Trek mini site, where it promotes its current touch-enabled flagship device – Nokia (NYSE: NOK) 5800 Xpress Music.

The new site is visible both on desktop computers, as well as on mobile screens (there’s an optimized-for-mobile version), offering free Star Trek mobile content (screensavers, ringtones and wallpapers) for various Nokia devices…

Enough said, here’s Nokia’s Star Trek page. You should be able to find your way around it easily.

Timestream (purveyors of the Notescast apps for the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) family of devices) have just released the Disneyland Park app!

Now guests of Disneyland Park can access a powerful new vacation planning and in-park guide on their iPhone or iPod touch.  At over 120 pages of information with rich in-depth content, they now can have all of Disneyland Park in the palm (NSDQ: PALM) of their hand wherever they go and whenever they want.

With over 120 pages of information with rich in-depth content, the new Disneyland Park Notescast is a comprehensive vacation planner and in-park guide covering nearly every aspect of the entire theme park.

The Disneyland Park Guide Notescast for the iPhone and iPod touch is available at the App Store, and is also available for the iPod Classic, iPod 5^th Generation and iPod nano at www.Notescasts.com.

A company called LiveCast has unveiled their latest offering called Lightning, which is “poised to revolutionize the television news industry.” Sure, we’ve heard such claims in the past, but LiveCast may actually do something about it — this is not to say we approve using the word “revolution” and its abbreviations in the press releases.

Their idea is to enable newsrooms to go live with real-time video from mobile devices without any delay in transmission from the field to the studio.

When breaking news hits, high-impact on-air interviews with field reporters can be conducted in real-time via mobile devices. As live video from mobile devices now reaches the performance standards of satellite trucks – both in delivery speed and high definition visual quality – the stage is finally set for live video from cell phones to hit prime-time. Many organizations, including NBC Universal, already rely upon LiveCast to transmit live video instantaneously from the field to the television studio as well as to websites, social media outlets and direct to decision makers.

So, basically they are not pitching their technology to the end users, but to media companies. In that sense, I’ve no doubts it will work better than let’s say Qik’s free solution. Qik is designed for the masses and we love it for that reason.

vufone is brand new service, designed to help users share, manage and unify all the social content between their mobile devices and the Internet through a single interface.

Launched in the UK, the service allows users to automatically synchronise and share their mobile content across the spectrum of popular social media websites such as Facebook, Flickr, Gmail and soon YouTube and more — all from one location.

Among the vufone features are:

• Share – ability to automatically upload and send images and videos from a mobile phone to social networks like Facebook, Flickr, Picasa and soon also YouTube and Twitter with one update. (Note: other services such as ShoZu can also do this.)
• Synchronise – Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) Outlook or Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Calendar meetings, tasks and contacts can be automatically synchronised with user’s mobile phones.
• Backup – once its on vufone’s servers, all your data is safe and secure, ready to be restored to your mobile phone on demand.

Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE)’s popular Themes Creator tool has been recently updated to make theme creation process easier than ever. Thanks to the simplified three-step workflow, just about anyone can make professional-looking themes for Sony Ericsson phones. Moreover, the application features three editing modes (Wizard, Advanced and XML Editor), and a brand new user interface.

To illustrate how easy is to make a theme, let’s go through the mentioned three-step process:

1. Select color scheme using automatic color combinations, color wheel tool or import saved color palettes (Adobe Kuler support is included!)
2. Import background images for standby wallpaper, desktop and navigation screens
3. Select style using predefined shapes and screen areas

…And you’re ready to go!

Finally, in an effort not to piss users of the old version of the tool, Sony Ericsson made sure backwards compatibility is on place. What this means is that you can still use Adobe Flash Lite animations as wallpaper elements (Standby screen)…

Interested? The Sony Ericsson Themes Creator v4.0 is available in English and Chinese and you can grab it from here.

L.A. Times can’t miss the boat, hence the company is joining the “iPhone wave.” As a matter of fact, the popular paper released two applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch users:

• L.A. Times News Reader – offering latest news and information for citizens of Los Angeles.
• L.A. Times Sports Reader – highlighting top stories in sports with score updates of your favorite teams.

I guess at the end we’ll have an iPhone app for virtually every media outlet. Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) certainly succeeded enticing companies to join the AppStore. Hopefully, the same will happen with the Android Market, Ovi Store and other mobile marketplaces. We’ll see…

In the meantime, our very own Will, who lives in L.A., just got a new app to enjoy on a daily basis. Like it buddy?

Today we’re presenting you with a neat theme, obviously created by the Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Pre fan, MMi forum member “balderson.” You’ve probably guessed correctly, the idea is to make the iPhone look like its Palm’s highly anticipated smartphone. In that sense, the theme features 21 icons, although balderson wowed to add more in the future.

If you dig the idea, you’ll need a jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch to proceed. If that’s on place, simply search for “Pre” in Cydia. As far as I’ve understood, it should be there. Alternatively, you may want to read more details, prior to pushing the button, and you can do that from this thread on MMi forums…

The new Star Trek movie is about to hit the theaters and if you wanna show off just how dedicated fan you are, you could Star Trek-ize your iPhone or iPod Touch. It’s not an official theme, though, but it does look decent. Scrap that I love it, or that’s just a Star Trek fanboy in me talking.

Anyway, like with all themes, you’ll need a jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch to install it. So, if you ever needed a reason to go the “jailbreak way,” now you may have one.

Finally, in case you’re wondering, it’s the work of MMi forum member “Imagine09.” Look for it in Cydia…
