iPhone Buzz Week in Review - Week 47 2008

Pocket Jockey may sounds a little perverse but in reality it’s one of the weirdest games we have found on the iPhone. The game itself is your typical horse racing game, but it is played by shaking your iPhone vigorously. whether you’re in a Wi-Fi area you can plus play your friend to see who can shake it harder.

The iPhone Dev Team advised not to blindly upgrade to the iPhone firmware 2.2 without first knowing all the hidden changes that it will have on your iPhone. Recently Apple has taken more steps to prevent the jailbreaking and more importantly unlocking of iPhones. There is another application out there that helps users get an edge on the law by showing locations of red light cameras and speed traps NMobile is nearly always up to moment through users input an moderators confirmation. While there are free versions of such an application out there, that one seems to be much more dependable.

Rovio owners will be happy to know that there is a new way to control your new Rovio.

Apple is the victim of yet another lawsuit, big surprise there. that date it additionally includes the cracking of iPhone 3G units that were reported shortly after the launch. Apple reportedly has continued to disregard the odd issue and customers would like to be by compensated by Apple’s wealth.

Attention all Wal-Mart customers, the iPhone 3G is soon to hit store shelves. That’s right, looks like they will be getting the unit shortly after Christmas (December

More iPhone backup batteries are coming to market, trying to cash in on the untapped additional battery market that Apple has decided not to get involved with.

Apple’s new iPhone firmware 2.2 came out that week and is certainly pleasing the masses.  Those who do not know what is included in the update are having somewhat of a problem finding what the features are. It turns out just about every feature that was previously leaked has made its way to the iPhone that instance.

Apparently that update can render the baseband permanently locked preventing a later iPhone 3G unlock. It appears that when the iPhone Dev Team speaks, they mean business.
