Won’t somebody think of the Children?! 32 Excellent iPhone Games for Kids
While it may sicken many of us, the fact is that many young children (we’re talking as young as 3 and 4-year olds) have iPod touches and iPhones – MY kids included. And as disappointed as I am in myself as a parent for giving them such an expensive gift, I’ve actually found that my 4 and 6-year olds both take excellent care of their iPods and (so far) treat them with an appropriate amount of reverence. This is likely due to their coveting my iPhone when... Read More

I’m not sure why Jenny McCarthy feels the need to make a “funny” face every time the... Read More

iPhone breast jiggling war illustrates “Double-D” sized problem for iPhone developers
An iPhone breast jiggling battle is quietly brewing between Tod Baudais of iJiggles and Jon Atherton of Wobble, and as it escalates, it threatens to tear apart the very fabric of breast jiggling on the iPhone. I can only hope we can stop it in time. Above: Wobble and iJiggles. Aren’t there enough breasts to go around? Both apps launched within days of each other, with Wobble hitting the store two days before iJiggles, but both obviously being developed independently. Both... Read More

Latest iPhone clone boasts unique feature
Currently one of the most watched items on eBay the $108.88 I68+ TOUCH SCREEN UNLOCKED I9 for T-MOBILE AT&T PHONE is one of the best iPhone clones we’ve seen, even if it IS a 1st gen clone. Above: Well, at least they took the Apple logo off, which is more than some clone makers did… Aside from the upside-down back and odd camera placement, you might think it was a real iPhone, except of course, like all iPhone knock-offs costing 1/4 the price, it appears to...
