    1. Crappy shoot-’em-up MetalAngel now available - MetalAngel is a new shoot-'em-up for the iPhone, but it looks like it's crap anyway.
    2. Enigmo for iPhone to 1.1.1 download content - Be sure to sync your iPhone and complete the backup process before updating Engimo, as the saved game deletion issues continue to be a concern. Pangea has officially acknowledged the issue, and offers backups as a solution. You can download/buy Enigmo from the App Store (iTunes link).
    3. Fragging on the Go - Doom for the iPhone (hopefully)? - id Software (of Doom and Quake fame) + iPhone = greatest mobile game ever? The iPhone really may be the next big handheld system, if it's pulling people like John Carmack to its ranks. Speculation and pants-messing after the cut.
    4. Kidnapped iPhone - A harrowing chronicle of a kidnapped iPhone - A gripping crime story that ends with a twist.
    5. PhoneSaber No Longer Available on App Store - I tried to look for the PhoneSaber to install on my wife's iPhone. Looks like it was taken down by request, so says it's creator.
    6. The goings on behind the iPhone application blacklist - iPhone forensics expert Jonathan Zdziarski was examining his iPhone while preparing for an upcoming iPhone forensics seminar next month, but what he found hidden deep in CoreLocation surprised him: an application blacklist. Some believe this could allow Apple to remotely disable apps on their phones whether they like it or not.
    7. Why not to buy the new iPhone 3G - By restricting the sales on few networks, I think Apple helps the mobiles black market, which is making big bucks for that only reason. Money which will fund other illegal activities, like guns, drugs and modern days slavery.
    8. iBiblia - The Ultimate iPhone Glossary - As an iPhone user, you've probably found yourself in lots of "iPhone" conversations, especially lately with the release of the App Store and iPhone 3G. If throughout those conversations you've found yourself thinking, "Wait, isn't jailbreaking and unlocking the same thing?" or "What does he mean by Pwnage", then this glossary is for you.
    9. iPhone 3G Price, August 22 - Globe will be releasing this August 22, 2008 the pricing for i Phone 3G. I can say that from the pricing, its way to high for an introductory price. Well you can judge from the list below.
    10. iPhone to remotely access iTunes media library - Apple's latest patent filing may be an indication of a new iPhone feature that could allow the smartphone as well as the iPod touch to remotely access the iTunes library stored on a Mac or PC.
