This app is well worth the 99 cents. You can shake the iPhone to feed your koi fish! If you put your finger in the middle of the pond and leave it there the koi fish will come nibbling your fingertip. Give it a shot! Available now from the App Store.

That’s right you shoot pool against various oddly modeled opponents (interestingly enough) but the game is a treat indeed. The three dimensional multi touch interface applied to pool makes playing a snap. Vegas Pool Sharks features intuitive controls and 3D camera controls and for the casual iPhone gamer there’s even a free version. Available now from the App Store from clickgamer.com.

You can grab Everytrail from the App Store and use it on your iPhone to gather your altitude, latitude, longitude and speed.. It tracks your trip progress from start to finish and continues to track your progress by utilizing an in-program Lock button to preserve your iPhone battery life. To get the best experience I’d recommend using a car charger while running Everytrail. You can upload your trip statistics to Everytrail’s web site if you create a user but you can still use Everytrail without having a user account for their website. Everytrail provides fun statistics for any road trip.

The procedure to rank songs in the iPod is rather simple really. On your iPhone tap iPod and then start playing any song. Tap on the cover art of the song or on the default cover art musical note icon while the song is playing and the cover art will flip over, exposing the album playlist. Above the playlist you will see a white star. Just tap the star and drag it to the right and you have just ranked your music using your iPhone. Happy stars!

Phonesaber has been unbanned from the Apple iPhone App Store and has been re-released by the original developer The Mac Box in association with THQ and features legitimate Star Wars licensing. This free app is loads of fun if you’re a grade A geek like myself. In essence this app has been re-designed as an advertisement for The Force Unleashed, which is a fantastic gaming experience in it’s own right. You get 5 vivid lightsaber colors and bios of the main characters from The Force Unleashed. If you have Lightsaber Unleashed on your iPhone the force will be with you always.

The slow text messaging bug has gone away. I’ve noticed that they have removed the box surrounding the 3G and the E in the status bar. This update seems to have fixed the annoying bug where the contact list would not respond to touch instantly after launching it. The iPhone 2.1 update is crucial to improving battery life and dropped calls on the iPhone 3G.

How to update:
1. Download and install iTunes 8 and connect iPhone to computer.
2. When iTunes opens click your iPhone under devices under the left.
3. Click Check for Update on the Summary tab.
4. Click Download and Install and leave your iPhone connected until the update is complete.

This product is awesome! I had my original iPhone in the Speck Toughskin and it kept my iPhone in mint condition following many, many drops on asphalt, concrete, basketball courts… You name it and my original iPhone probably got dropped upon it. The Speck Toughskin held up like a rubberized shock absorbing armor and my original iPhone is now my backup as I have upgraded to the iPhone 3G.

The new Speck Toughskin for iPhone 3G is even *better* than the original Toughskin. It’s massive rubber corners are sure to make the iPhone bounce like a ball should it get dropped. It’s literally like wrapping your iPhone in a Z-rated sports tire. I highly recommend the Speck Toughskin for your iPhone 3G to help keep it looking good as new if you should ever accidentally drop your iPhone. The bottom flips open to allow access to the dock connectors so you can dock your iPhone or use an FM transmitter as I do without having to remove the Toughskin from the iPhone. My only complaint is that the sticky rubber pulls your jeans pocket inside-out when you remove it, no big deal, just don’t carry your money clip in the same pocket as your iPhone 3G if you keep it in this case. Overall, a great product with a good chance of protecting your iPhone screen from getting cracked if it gets dropped.

Free Blackjack from MobilityWare is fun and the ad support is unobtrusive. The graphics are decent and you watch the deck get shuffled which is pretty cool.
