iPhone Modem App Promises 10 Second iPhone Tethering
Just
released yesterday, iPhone Modem for the Cydia jailbreak application
repository promises tethering your laptop to your iPhone in just 10
seconds. We haven't gotten around to jailbreaking our own yet, but this
one is supposedly even easier than the official NetShare
tethering app in the official App Store. ModMyiPhone forum says it
works just fine on both the MacBook and MacBook Pro. Careful using this
on AT&T, since too much tethering data usage you're not actively
"paying" for will get you neutered. [modmyiphone]

Crashing problems aside, I am loving the App Store.
I have no problem spending money on an app, but there are definitely a
surprising number of quality freebies out there. With that in mind, I
am kind of curious to know how much money iPhone owners have been
willing to drop on apps given all of the free choices.

Installer 4 Beta For iPhone 2.0 Leaked
The folks at InstallerApps claim that they've come across a leaked early version of Installer.app 4, the version that works with the iPhone 2.0 software. The download link works, but the installation process requires SSH and command line work to install and is apparently still an early rough beta. So, install at your own risk if at all, but it does match the screenshots we've seen and looks to be working in the video. [InstallerApps]

Apple Releases Push Notification Services Developer Kit, Background Apps FTW

I think it’s safe to say that iPhone OS 2.0 is far from perfect and
anyone saying otherwise must be on Apple’s payroll. Other than the
horrendous battery life (on the iP3G), what else do we all hate about
the OS? The inability to run background apps! Sure, Apple’s argument
against a Windows Mobile-like task manager makes perfect sense, but the
ability to run background apps is something we’ve all grown accustomed
to and it would be the ‘killer app’ as they say around these parts, right?

Oh, and is anyone’s white iP3G starting to crack?
iTunes 7.7.1 is Out
No word on what it does besides "improve stability and performance". Keep in mind that this comes a few days after iPhone app DRM was cracked,
so if you're dabbling in the black arts of app swapping, you probably
want to wait til someone else reports on whether this affects that or
not before upgrading.
Beware iPhone App Scams
If you Google "iPhone apps,"
the first thing that comes up is iPhoneApps.org, a site selling a
bundle of "top 10" iPhone applications for $25 using "safe PayPal."
Friends, there's nothing safe about this site. It's a scam. The iTunes App Store is the exclusive distributor
of official iPhone apps, period. Don't get your apps anywhere else.
Tell your friends and family. If you're savvy enough to use
Installer.app, this PSA is not for you, obviously (I mean, you know you
can get all this stuff for free, right?). [Thanks Blake!]
iPhone Apps We Like: Aurora Feint The Beginning
Aurora Feint
is the first strategy/RPG game that I've played on any system for more
than five minutes, and I'm addicted. The main focus is a Bejeweled-like
game of matching tiles, and you earn points and power to increase your
abilities. You rotate the phone to get all the tiles to line up, which
makes it super challenging.
The points are used on blueprints and magicbooks, just timed versions of the mining game. They are supposed to enhance your power, but so far I haven't noticed any difference. Still, the game is fun and I'm hooked.
As the name implies, the makers claim this is is just the beginning of a complete iPhone MMO, and I'm looking forward to what games and interactive features will be added next. [App Marathon]

iPhone Apps We Like: Twitteriffic is Best Twitter App
Over at the still-going Apps review marathon,
we've touched on three Twitter apps that bring the service to iPhone
2.0, with varying degrees of success. Twitterific's version for the
iPhone is as good as their OS X desktop client with a beautiful
interface, and it's free if you don't mind the ads ($10 to make them go
away).
By comparison, the other main free app Twittelator is a bit more buggy (can't connect to server errors, etc) and is far less pretty. Neither can notify you from the background, though, so for timely updates a lot of people will still be using good ol' SMS to let everyone know when dishes are being washed, meals eaten, etc. One thing: Twitteriffic still not quite as good as the free jailbreak app Twinkle, which allows you to filter tweets by people who are within a certain distance of yourself.

iPhone Apps We Like: Mocha VNC Lite
Mocha
is a VNC client that supports full QWERTY and Safari-like zooming as
well as landscape mode. Double click works, but right click doesn't,
but there is no official App store equivalent so this is your desktop
remote client of choice. [iPhone App Marathon

Apps We Like: Box Office is the Best iPhone Movie Theatre App
This is why people get excited about iPhone apps.
With Box Office, if you want to see a movie and don't know what's
playing, you just open it up. It'll detect where you are, find theatres
around you, and list movies playing by their RottenTomatoes score. Want
to get tickets? Click on the time you want and it'll toss you to
Fandango to buy them. You'll get the whole process done in no time. If
they added streaming trailers in to this app somehow, it'd really be
taken to the next level, but even as is it's one of our favorite apps
so far that we'll definitely be using all the time.
