iPhone App News Roundup: June 24, 2008

w00t! Another batch of iPhone App Store pre-announcements:

Jeff at TrouserMac Industries sent a blurb about an upcoming iPhone app that's right up my alley. Brewing Buddy will be free from the App Store after launch and consists of a tool for calculating and refining beer receipes, a brewing helper, and a social recipe sharing application. Bottoms up! [Our esteemed colleague would like to remind everyone that pants-based computing is a registered idea of Erica Sadun Enterprises. -Ed.]
TheBarCodeProject is readying TouchWord, an iPhone Holy Bible with sections for notes and an included RSS reader for Christian learning resources.
Meanwhile, over in Oxford, Mississippi, Deepak Mantena and TapeShow, LLC are getting ready to release Chores for Mac OS X and a companion app called Chores mobile for iPhone. Deepak says that "all the unnecessary fluff that's in existing productivity tools is eliminated."
While it's not an announced app, I loved reader Jack Chance's idea -- "Will someone write some software that turns the 3G iPhone into a bike computer? It should give speed, distance, and store the route so that you can sync with your Mac at home..." A lot of bikers would love this app idea -- go for it, developers!
Long-time Palm game developers Seahorse Software are bringing Blackjack Run to the iPhone and iPod touch in July.
Advenio, makers of MacGourmet, are bringing a yet-to-be-named recipe application to iPhone.
The amazing ApolloIM app will be going legal for all of you IM addicts.
Michael Howard at Midnight Martian Software is bringing his 3D OpenGL-based Midnight Mahjong Solitaire to market soon!

Send us your announcements of upcoming iPhone App Store goodies, and we'll try to get 'em posted.

Wouldn't it be cool if the iphone could turn into a gaming remote like a PS3 remote or something.

I for one am giddy with joy that ApolloIM is coming soon.

I'll third (or fourth?) the bike app. Please make it work with 1.0 and not just the GPS on 2.0

I get excited each time I see an iPhone app roundup too, but I actually have been finding myself disappointed - the *idea* for a bike app is the first thing I've seen that actually looks valuable to me so far. Of course, I'm not offering other ideas, and I'm not a programmer, so take that for what it's worth, but while games are fun, I was hoping for more productivity related apps - similar to what used to come out for the Palm.

I'm sure they will come - and maybe it's just as well, since I don't seem to have much extra room on my 8 Gig...

Jack Chance is a brilliant man! I give a HUGE plea for someone to do a bike app as well. (Heck, if I had the technical prowess, I would, but I don't. Maybe some day)

Then of course we also need someone to make a good handlebar mount for the iPhone too. Then I'd be in iPhone-biking nirvana!

I hope to see many more of my favorite Palm game developers jumping to the iPhone.
