The number of games on the App Store is amazing. It is currently the most populated category and is only going to increase as developers unlock the power of the device. The “What’s Hot” grouping also shows that they are among the most popular apps (based on whatever algorithm Apple uses).
I am still waiting on some solid RPGs to be published for the iPhone.
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is the Gold Box offer.
0900 EDT: Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII for the PS3
13:00 EDT: Playstation 3 Logitech Driving Force GT Racing Wheel for $89.99
15:00 EDT: Save the galaxy and figure out why Cragmites hate Lombaxes. Sounds like Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction.
17:00 EDT: El Dorado beckons. Sounds like Drake’s Fortune to me.
19:00 EDT: Nero vs. Dante in the demon-filled landscapes of Fortuna. Definitely Devil May Cry 4
21:00 EDT: Engage in online battles and furious four-player co-op action in 2048. Sounds like Haze

MobileMe Update
We have already made many improvements to MobileMe, but we still have many more to make. To recognize our users’ patience, we are giving every MobileMe subscriber as of today a free 60 day extension. This is in addition to the one month extension most subscribers have already received. We are working very hard to make MobileMe a great service we can all be proud of. We know that MobileMe’s launch has not been our finest hour, and we truly appreciate your patience as we turn this around. Read this article for more details.

Firmware 2.0.1 is downloadable via iTunes now. Applying the firmware as I type this. It’s a hefty 249MB and is filled with “bug fixes”. More to come.
NetShare was released, pulled, and re-released on the iTunes Application Store. In one line - you can set up your iPhone as a proxy server and share the connection.
So, everything you eat and drink is bought in the airport or on the plane with cash that the TSA can seize as a paper item at any time. I’d like to get in on this business, please.
Firefox 3 has a two-line format for bookmark/history titles which makes good use of screen space:
OmniWeb 5.8 puts it all in one line:
My request is for OmniWeb to use a two line method of displaying so we can better see the link title.
Side note is that Safari does not do it at all:
I am posting from the Wordpress app for the iPhone! Very easy setup, very easy to use, and free. I have used some of the admin plugins but they never worked well. This app allows me to comfortably type and offers a very simple method for me to save drafts in progress - local draft storage is very cool. Adding tags, categories, and publishing are also easily done.
Adding photos is likewise simple. You can take a photo live or from the library - this means no uploading and linking later.
Preview is very slick - you get to see how your post will appear within your blog.
Highly recommended if you have an iPhone and a Wordpress blog.
