I created a list of all the third-party iPhone apps that I have installed right now. Contact me if you have suggestions for additional apps that fit my taste.

Erica Sadun has tried Pwnage for iPhone firmware 2.0.

iPhone developers are complaining that Apple has not figured out a way to allow them to have others beta test their software. This is, as expected, making it hard for the developers to fix issues with their applications. As a result, users are giving apps bad reviews, harming the reputations of the developers and making the apps less attractive even after they have been fixed.

Last week, I wrote about the possibility of third-party Web browsers appearing on the iPhone when the AppStore launches next month. It seems that Apple beat me to it, including a few lines in their iPhone SDK agreement that may make this impossible, at least when it comes to plug-in support and rendering engines not based on Apple's own WebKit engine.

Adobe President and CEO, Shantanu Narayen, responded to a question on the F2Q08 Earnings Call regarding Flash Lite on the iPhone.

BigBoss issued a warning regarding the use of ZiPhone to jailbreak and unlock Apple's iPhone. In a nutshell, he says, "Don't use it", and points to several reasons for his position.

I was checking my Twitter updates today via Twitterrific and an ad for Swift appeared in the stream of tweets. I clicked the ad because it promised a quick setup of a mobile Web site using RSS feeds. I've been looking for a Drupal theme that "mobilizes" my site for handsets (and iPhone), but none are completed yet, or able to do what I need right now (iUi is close though). So, I figured I'd give Swift a try and see what could be done in a few minutes.

Since today is Firefox Download Day 2008, I began thinking about the possibility of other Web browsers appearing on Apple's new AppStore when the 3G iPhone is released next month.

This is my iPhone app list for firmware 1.1.4. Each app is tagged as either "must have", "nice to have", or "not needed" for the upgrade to firmware 2.0. This list will be updated throughout the months of June and July 2008. The apps are listed in no particular order.

It would appear that Zibri has done it again and managed to get his iPhone unlocking and jailbreaking application working with the new firmware 2.0 that is due to be released on 11 July. The status report is located here: status.ziphone.org.
