OK!! here are some simple fun games that you can play on your iPhone to while away the hours we spend on:…. commuter transport…in meetings…in class….on the toilet. At least here are some games that are available if you know where to go!!

Here are a couple of old favorites:

Can you cross the road without getting killed?

How Good Is Your Memory? Can you match the faces?

We are keeping where you can get these and over a hundred other iphone games, a secret - for now!

If you are looking for something a bit different then you might try this iphone game that iPhonegizmo found!

Some may find it disturbing! Some may find it downright scary!

Others may find it connects to something deep in their soul …

Because here is where you get to “assassinate” other iPhone users!!

Well…..If nothing else it may be the best excuse you have to meet that cute gal or guy that travels on the same commuter transport as you do (so long as they also have an iPhone!!)

iPhonegizmo discovered that this is just one of a hundred or more games that iphone users can play if they join the right download site. We will be doing a review of download sites so wait for more news on where to get these great games.

Now your iphone can get even more usefull! Want to know what song is playing on the radio? With this great hack, you can find out that and more. Put your iphone near the radio speakers and check out the iphone screen. Admitedly, its currently in Beta. But if it works, then you will see the song, artist, and album all listed. (It samples the music for 5 seconds and then attempts to contact the id server).

Makes it easy to find that great song again - whether just to listen to or to download, right!

You can download it HERE. If you like it then let us all know how well it works for you.

iPhone Gizmo got it right! No iPhone Nano in the lime light at the MacWorld fantastic this year. And, as predicted the spotlight was on a new design drama - the thinnest laptop in the world has now made its debut!!

The “Air” is well and truly being buzzed about all over the web, so iPhoneGizmo will move on to other Macworld announcements:

More importantly, what did we iPhone users get? ……..TA DA!!

For a mere $3-$4 a pop we can watch some great DVDs .

But wait, there’s more..

“A pop” turns out to be 24 hours. Now I am guessing there are some serious commuters out there who like to spend some of their travel time (like me) watching movies, videos, listening to music …. That $3 is going to add up real fast to a LOT of dosh! If this were the only way to get movies then I would get excited about Steve Job’s big …TA DA!

BUT, frankly, whilst it IS going to be great for Apple - it is a POOR deal for us!

There are already several membership sites offering ten times as many movies for a minimal joining fee (about two weeks worth of Apple rentals) and you get to KEEP the movies! (By the way Apple skims over this little nugget by selling users on the “don’t need a computer” con. Oh, don’t get me wrong. You DON’T need a computer because you don’t get to KEEP the movie!

So, conclusion? The Air is exciting and desirable (and our next laptop!)

The iPhone movie deal is a steal - from us!!

iPhone Gizmo is not impressed!!

iPhone Gizmo Design Contest!

In the previous post we included some “mockups” of what the iPhone Nano might look like.

Were you inspired by either of them? Apple is maybe the top designer of communications gadgets. But can they be beaten?

We iPhone users are in probably the best placed to come up with a winning design - ie one that looks good and does what we want.

So iphone gizmo has decided to issue a challenge and see who can come up with the best design for the iphone Nano. With the Macworld Conference about to start, this is a good time to get your creative juices going.

What would you like the iphone Nano to look like? Send in your images and we will post the ones we think are the coolest (Remeber, humor is always appreciated!)

NB: Just post the links to the images in “comments” The best ones will be published in the blog with links to the image url.

OK, OK! So the conference is still two days away. But rumors are flying around the internet about whether Apple will or will not announce the much anticipated iPhone Nano.

All Macworld has to say is:

iPhone: The sequel: The next-generation iPhone will be released in the second quarter of the year. AT&T will prompt customers to upgrade by sending them frequent text messages informing them that their original iPhones are no longer cool…

.

Not the kind of prediction we are really wanting to hear!!

Check out these two “mockups” of the iPhone Nano

AlleyInsider reckons:

Apple’s six-month-old, $400 iPhone is still the phone to beat in the wireless business. Would Apple want to broaden its appeal even further with a smaller, cheaper phone — say, around $200? We have no doubt that Apple’s phone lineup will grow this year, including a faster, “3G” iPhone. But we don’t think you’ll hear about an iPhone nano on Tuesday.

.

Ben Reitzes (Market Analyst for UBS), predicted in December:

Perhaps at Macworld or shortly thereafter, we expect Apple to announce a lower-cost (or ‘nano-like’ option) along with a 3G option potentially coming later in 2008….

.

iPhone Gizmo predicts that

the Nano will be passed over at the conference and that Apple will be aiming to keep the market hyped with novel “leading edge” product designs. iPhone was 2007!!

.

We will keep you posted on the latest from the conference!
