We’re not sure whether to classify this as a deal or not, but getting an iPhone for 100 EUR (about $155) sounds tempting, nevertheless. Not all is sweet, though. In order to take advantage of the “99 EUR for the 8GB iPhone” deal, interested Germans will have to sign for the “Complete XL” plan which…
iPhone OS 2.0 firmware sports YouTube plug-in – possible Flash future for iPhone?
Full-featured Flash support on the iPhone is just too enticing to ignore.

iPhone SDK beta 2 now available
I’m not sure whether to classify this as a good or a bad news for iPhone developers. On one end, the SDK beta 2 adds new functionalities and developers should be able do much more.

GeoPedia – location based iPhone application that has Wikipedia following your iPhone
Now this is one of the coolest third-party, native iPhone applications that I’ve yet to see. GeoPedia is basically a location-based Wikipedia interface for your iPhone. With the iPhone’s (v1.1.3 and up) Google Maps My Location feature, iPhone users can hone in on their approximate location. It’s not GPS accurate, but it can usually find…
