PhoneSaber Strikes Back, Returns as LightSaber Unleashed
After being voluntarily retired from the iTunes App Store, following a call by THQ Wireless, the most useless yet completely obligatory iPhone app—PhoneSaber—is returning to the store as LightSaber Unleashed. The lightsaber simulator will tie in with the new LucasArts's game, including completely new graphics, "dueling music," and characters from the game:

Lifehacker covered the web version of PageOnce already, but think of it is as a web portal that displays all your various utility, credit card and shopping accounts in one page for easy glance-ability. This is the exact same thing, except on your iPhone. We love it. More »

iPhone Apps We Like: Twinkle, the New Best Twitter App
So, we were a little premature when we declared Twitterific the best iPhone Twitter app—Twinkle, the hugely popular Twitter app with location goodness for Installer.app, just came to the App store. Its killer location features are totally intact: Tweets are lojacked with your current location (Twitterific just updates your profile's current location), and you can check out who's tweeting within one, ten, or up to 1000 miles from you.

DataCase App Brings File Browser & Wireless Data Transfer to iPhone & iPod touch
Being able to use the iPhone or iPod touch for basic data storage and file browsing has been a missing feature for over a year now. But an app called DataCase, available July 28, claims it will finally turn the iPhone or iPod touch into a "handheld wireless drive." DataCase uses Bonjour in the same manner as Air Disk—which means the iPhone's drive will automatically appear in a Mac's finder. Once you have files on the iPhone, you can browse, view and even delete them. Since the app works with any "wirelessly capable computer," PCs and Linux are also supported. For only $7 bucks this apps sounds way too good to be true. Let's hope it isn't. [DataCase]

iPhone App Store: eBooks for 99 Cents a Pop
Clever: Taking novels in the public domain, re-boxing them, and selling them in the iTunes App Store for a buck a pop. It's mostly stuff you had to read in high school, like Dickens and Edith Wharton, but there's also a whole mess of Tarzan novels in there too. The text looks crisp and readable, even if the book itself isn't necessarily. It's no Kindle, but not a bad start to the iPhone eBook industry. [iTunes via BoingBoing Gadgets]

iPhone / iPod TiVoRemote App Makes Telnet Control Easy
Remember when we showed you an iPhone controlling a TiVo over IP by means of Telnet? Well, over at the TiVo Community Forum, a user named Duckfin has compiled a "quick and dirty little program" that gives the iPhone and iPod touch a proper TiVo Remote. The app which is named TiVoRemote, no surprise there, actually makes practical use of TiVo's Telnet control feature. But as with most apps these days it does require a jailbroken iPhone / iPod. For installation and info hit the jump.

Twinkle, the iPhone Twitter Client, Adds Location Features
Twitter Fans: an iPhone client called Twinkle was just released on Installer.app. What's the difference between Twinkle and other apps? It's true that you can let the world know that you're getting a haircut or some taxi zoomed past you without stopping on any client, but Twinkle lets you use the iPhone's location feature to add location data to your tweets. Not only that, there's a "near me" feature that can show you tweets from people within X miles of you, which is good for organizing a meetup or party. Location information is only visible from Twinkle and not on the Twitter website, unfortunately. Hit the link to see how you install it on your jailbroken iPhone, then follow me (diskopo) for some good times. [Just Another iPhone Blog via Tech Digest] More »

The lack of extraneous features on the iPhone's Camera app is great for most people, but heavy-duty cameraphone aficionados want to be able to adjust stuff like digital zoom, greyscale, auto-rotation and burst mode. Snapture is the solution. If you've got a jailbroken phone just install the app from Installer.app's Utilities section and you'll be able to do all the things we listed above, plus even silence the shutter sound without having to silence the entire phone in case you want to take some "covert" pictures.
