iPhone App News Roundup: July 9, 2008

BattleAtSeaAhhh, there's nothing quite like the sweet flow of iPhone apps coming into an overstuffed Mail inbox.
  • These aren't in the App Store, but if you want some alert sounds or ringtones for any iPhone, check out rcptones.
  • Chopper is a helicopter side-scroller game from Majic Jungle complete with guns, bombs, and tilt-to-fly action. This $7.99 app has a Mac OS X demo for free, although all it did for me was let me watch the helicopter idling on the ground...
  • Pentaho is bringing a Business Intelligence extension to iPhone. While it's a server extension that provides full access to the reporting and dashboards of Pentaho and not a native app, this is going to be big in enterprises that use Pentaho's Open Source BI Suite.
  • MyStreets is a free native app that displays contacts by city, street, and address. See the video here.
  • The iLoveControl iPhone interface for Crestron home automation lets you control your home from iPhone or iPod touch.
  • Pelted Software's BattleAtSea (Battleship game - see screenshot) has been accepted into the App Store. Expect to see it on Friday. There's a LAN multiplayer mode.
  • Another game, StarSmasher, will be available from EspressoSoft soon.
  • Jerry Beers is announcing the release of Pocket-Bible. Pocket-Bible will be available via the App Store for $4.99
  • Of course you want to make cartoons out of your photos. That's why Standard Widget Corporation is developing iToony ($4.99).
Stay tuned to TUAW for all of your iPhone app news.

One of my first mac experiences was in first grade, 1993 i believe, playing BOLO over lan in the computer labs. I couldn't understand how I could be doing something and it was showing it on the other computers. I for one REALLY hope someone can port it for the iPhone.

Doesn't this seem like the sort of thing the "Continue reading" cut tag was made for? Why force everyone who doesn't have a 3G iPhone -- which to the best of my knowledge is currently EVERYONE IN THE FREAKIN' WORLD* -- to read a list of apps they can't get?

* Except Walt Mossberg, David Pogue, and that guy at BoyGeniusReport, but I doubt any of them will make their app-buying decisions based on these posts.

@atthecross that is a web app, not an actual application that is downloadable....and to boot it's a monthly or annual subscription vs. $4.99 one time

there's bugs with the site sometimes... use this page for a master list of the tones:
http://rcptones.com/master-list/

the iPhone ringtones from the itunes store cost .99 per track (with 4-8 ringtones each) but the rest are free under creative commons.
