Spider is a cool-lookin’ iPhone app that certainly won’t make you more productive — quite the contrary. Actually, it’s cool if you like spiders or at least find them interesting, otherwise you’ll find it gross. The simple application shows the movement of a spider on the iPhone’s screen. You can’t much interact with it, except…
Custom iPhone Updates for AT&T en Route?
Word has it AT&T and Apple are working together on some custom updates to the iPhone operating system that would allow push notifications to warn about approaching overage charges, and voicemail options that would bypass or eliminate default voicemail greetings. These are apparently in a bid to raise customer satisfaction that has taken a beating…
Commodore 64 App Makes it to iPhone
For all of you old-school gamers out there, Commodore has launched a C64 app for the iPhone that comes preloaded with Dragons Den, Le Mans, Jupiter Lander, Arctic Shipwreck, Jack Attack, and more on the way.

Age of Curling: ‘Hurry HARD’ on the iPhone!
I’m Canadian. I live in Canada, and come winter time, there’s a certain sport that seems to distract us from the cold weather and early, frigid evenings. No, I’m not talking about hockey (that’s a given), I’m talking about Curling. The game of rocks and brooms and double take-outs and raises and freezes. Yep, it’s…
iPeePee iPhone game tests your real-life aiming skills
Can you imagine what’s the iPhone game called iPeePee all about? You’ve probably guessed correctly. Using the iPhone’s built-in accelerometer, it’s designed to test your real-life aiming skills. The first level sees you “doing your thing” in Joe’s Bar, and you slowly progress towards the hardest level – Hawaii-bound boat. Along the way, you’ll need…

JotNot iPhone app comes with Evernote integration
Boy how I love Evernote. If you still haven’t tried it – you should! It is — and I can’t emphasize this enough — the best note taking tool out there. That said, I’m glad to see other companies realizing that, and integrating some of Evernote’s functionality into their own apps and services. In that…
Quickoffice for iPhone adds Office 2007 editing support
Quickoffice has updated its iPhone app and now you can… drums please… edit Office 2007 files! As expected, they don’t hide the fact that their app is the first one to allow this, enabling users to change their Word and Excel 2007 files while on the go… If a lack of the proper (i.e. edit)…
UK: I’ve got Tethering
Tethering sounds like a nasty affliction, doesn’t it….. So after somewhat of a kerfuffle, I got Internet Tethering setup for my iPhone 3GS today. I say kerfuffle, because I didn’t get any notification (of any kind) that it was working – oh no, hang on, they sent it to the wrong email address, that’s it…
TomTom iPhone GPS car kit delayed until October
TomTom’s iPhone GPS Navigation app went live on the AppStore recently, drawing criticism from early adopters over the app’s less-than-stellar GPS performance. Part of the problem, said TomTom, was that they didn’t expect to have their iPhone app launch on the AppStore before the TomTom iPhone GPS car kit was ready to delivery. The thing…
