In pictures: iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond

The iPhone phenomenon is well and truly in force since the launch of the iPhone 3G in Australia last month. With this in mind, competitors are clamouring for a piece of the pie and are set to begin launching potential 'iPhone killers' in a bid to derail the Apple machine. We’ve been fortunate to have two of the newest iPhone competitors in the office, along with the iPhone 3G. RIM’s BlackBerry Bold and the much anticipated HTC Touch Diamond are two smartphones that are set to compete with the iPhone 3G in Australia and around the globe. Check out our slideshow of these hot smartphones side by side! iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs B

Games preview: iPhone Games

Mobile games fall into one of three categories: 1) over-complicated versions of well known console games in no way suited to the small screen and unresponsive phone keyboard. 2) 1980s arcade games - the sheer ennui threatens to overwhelm. 3) Joyously new and inventive titles that bear in mind the staccato usage and simple controls necessary to work on a phone. So few fall into the last camp that mobile games are near worth ignoring. Will Apple's promised 160 iPhone games change that? Early signs are at least positive, with the iPhone remix of that megalith of galactic evolution, Spore, shaping into something intriguing; Bomberman, while unproven on a touch screen, is normally pretty reliable; LocoRoco-alike Rolando promises some cute tilt-based gaming and Super Monkey Ball already has punters forming a virtual queue round the block.

iPhone better than Nintendo DS and PSP combined

If id Software co-founder Carmack can be believed, iPhone might emerge as a major force in the mobile gaming industry and trounce many rivals. He expressed regret that his company still has not released any games for the iPhone. According to him, iPhone with it’s great graphics and a large screen can support advanced games which other portable devices can’t. He said id Software is already developing two games for iPhone, a normal mobile game and the other, an advanced game that would test iPhone’s graphic abilities. Though graphics may let down iPhone, he feels it is more powerful that Nintendo and PSP combined. Though iPhone may not be the definitive answer to mobile gaming, it sure is a great device, at least for now.

Gabe Jacobs made this video of dragging and dropping iPhone apps, which proves conclusively that you can drag and drop iPhone apps you download from the internet into iTunes.

Beware iPhone App Scams

If you Google "iPhone apps," the first thing that comes up is iPhoneApps.org, a site selling a bundle of "top 10" iPhone applications for $25 using "safe PayPal." Friends, there's nothing safe about this site. It's a scam. The iTunes App Store is the exclusive distributor of official iPhone apps, period. Don't get your apps anywhere else. Tell your friends and family. If you're savvy enough to use Installer.app, this PSA is not for you, obviously. [Thanks Blake!]

Apple iPhone 3G Review

(Review) - We’ll get right to the chase. Apple’s iPhone 3G is very similar to the original iPhone.

That’s of course to prevent a lot of folks from unlocking their iPhones.

Fable II Pub Games (Xbox 360)

Fable II Pub Games is a collection of three games of chance popular throughout Albion, the world of Fable. The games themselves will feel familiar to anyone with a passing knowledge of common gambling games, and on balance, they're mildly entertaining. Their real appeal lies in their eventual integration with your Fable II game. Any gold or items that you win (or debt you accrue) can be passed on to your hero in Fable II, for better or worse. If you're not excited about Fable II, these games aren't anything special. But for those counting the days until October, the thoroughly Albion-esque presentation and the two reasonably engaging games make Pub Games an appealing purchase.

iPhone App Blacklist Isn't For Remotely Disabling Apps

An "informed source" at Apple has told Daring Fireball's John Gruber that the mysterious iPhone app blacklist striking fear in the hearts of iPhone-toting privacy nerds everywhere actually isn't for remotely disabling apps. Nope, it's actually a CoreLocation blacklist—in other words, a list of apps not allowed to access CoreLocation (which would be why it was buried there). So actually, it's protecting your privacy by keeping naughty apps from knowing where you are. Or something like that. [Daring Fireball]

iPhone review

Apple24 carat Gold Apple iPhone review by LetsGoMobile : The large amount of patents Apple applied for on behalf of the iPhone makes you expect that this should lead to an exclusive device. However; Continental Mobiles are not satisfied with the exclusivity of the Apple iPhone, and that's why they have their own version of the much-discussed iPhone; a special 24 carat gold iPhone. Even though the Apple iPhone in itself is already a unique device, the combination with the additions of Continental Mobiles ensures that you, as a user, are guaranteed not to meet a similar device.

IPhone 2.0 Jailbroke

dch24 was one of many who noted that the iPhone 2.0 software has already been unlocked writes "If you were wondering how I was doing push email tests on iPhone OS 2.0 and Vodafone UK, this is the reason why. The code wizard commandos at the iPhone Dev Team have been working on this non-stop since the early days of beta testing. In fact, I had iPhone OS 2.0 running on my iPhone since last week. That was version 5A345, two below 5A347, but identical in functionality." Still no word on an iPhone 3G crack.
