Lightning Review: iPhone Tetris App
The App: Tetris with excellent touch implementation. In a matter of seconds anyone will be comfortably rotating, placing and flicking blocks around the screen, and the block placement preview is a welcome addition. More »

A few Apple App Store developers have apparently taken a page from the line cutting Steve Wozniak today, and are using a loophole in the service's naming conventions to shoot their apps to the top of the list. The story goes that certain developers are cutting to the head of the class with sneakily inserted spaces and quotation marks. One "offender" is Jirbo, Inc., which put a space in front of all of its games’ titles. All Jirbo games now appear at the top of the alphabetical App Store games list.

The line outside of the Apple store on 59th street in NYC is definitely an event. There are about 100 people wrapped around the block, patiently waiting for the iPhone 3G. We'll be up all night checking out the scene and talking to the diehards who can't wait to get their hands on the new phone. We've got games, blankets, and provisions (liquid and food), so if you're in town, stop by and say "Hi". Otherwise, keep checking back to see all of the madness going on—you never know what could happen. Update: Greg Packer showed up!

For those of you just crawling to your computers, here's what's been going on this very busy AM:
• First, the App Store opened its doors on iTunes 7.7 (available for download), and we did the first video walkthrough of the App Store featured on some early iPhone 2.0 firmware.
• MobileMe, the service that replaces .Mac, suddenly went live, and then suddenly went dead again. Fortunately, we were in long enough to post the first live screenshots.
• The free 2.0 firmware update for iPhone leaked out, so now anyone with an iPhone can download it—iPod touch owners still have till it's for sale, though. ($9.95, last we checked.)
• Sales of actual iPhone 3Gs began amid the hullabaloo—some dipwad named Jonny won this year's Greg Packer award.
• In our morning-long comb through the over 500 apps in the App store, we've found some interesting little gems, and shot the first video of the iTunes Wi-Fi remote for iPhones.

First iTunes Remote App for iPhone Hands-On
One of the first apps I downloaded while doing the App Store video walkthrough today was the new iPhone Remote for iTunes. There's only one word to describe it: perfectomfgthisissocool. As you can see in the video, it just works, giving you full control of all the music, video, podcasts, and movies stored on your computer or AppleTV. The applications show you the art, your personal playlists (including the smart ones), all in real time. Updated: second part of the video is up, plus some more impressions. Verdict: download it now.

It's App Store launch day, so there's bound to be a few bits of fun... check out To Do versus Todo in the image there, spotted over at BoingBoing. Different logos. Different spacing. And ... different pricing? Wonder if item #1 on both developer's list is "Fight!"? Updated: We've spotted some more amusingly duped apps. Check out the pics below.

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 App Store Launch Details: 25% Free Out Of 500+ Total
Steve Jobs gave the NYT a bunch of details on the upcoming iPhone App Store. It's opening Thursday with "more than 500 software applications," 25% of which will be free, and 90% of which will be $9.99 or less. If we're talking software developers, they get 70% of the revenues while Apple pockets 30%. Jobs compared the split favorably to game development companies, saying that Apple was going to "provide distribution and marketing." Somehow we don't think arrangement of apps on a virtual iTunes shelf with a few web banners on Fark and Digg can compare with, say, the Grand Theft Auto IV ad blitz. [NYT]

Friend Book App: Shake Two iPhones Together to Share Contact Information
A company called Tapulous is planning on delivering an iPhone app called Friend Book for the Friday launch that promises to turn your boring old address book into a "super address book" with features like a "face dialer" that allows you to place a call through your contact images. But that functionality pales in comparison to their "Handshake" feature that allows two iPhone users running Friend Book to share their personal contact information by shaking their phones in close proximity to one another.

iPhone Apps Can Be Dragged and Dropped Into iTunes Without Going Through App Store
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. What it doesn't prove is whether or not it will work on your iPhone—it almost certainly won't—since apps from the App Store are wrapped in DRM. More »

The guy grinning in this photo is called Jonny Gladwell, and he's from Auckland, New Zealand. Why's he grinning? He's first in the queue at the Auckland Vodafone shop. And due to the timings involved, that should make him the first person in the World to buy an iPhone 3G. Lucky bastard. [Image credit: Darryl Carey]

Apple Store is Down
As a large bunch of readers have noticed, the Apple store is down everywhere. If you consider the timing of the iPhone 3G's and MobileMe's launch (which has to hit New Zealand nearly a day ahead of the US) some preliminary setup kinda makes sense. We'll keep you posted. Update: the store's back up. No obvious changes, so it was likely maintenance to set things up for later in the week.

Apple Sets July 7 Cutoff Date For iPhone App Store Launch
If you want to get your iPhone App into the App Store in time for the July 11 launch, you'll have to submit it by July 7. That's next Monday. If you're one of those kids who always does their homework at the last second, we suspect there's going to be less BBQ and more "OMGWTFBBQ we're not done!" this weekend. And there's no copying off the smart kid now either, so we don't want to see Super Monkey Ball and Super Orangutan Ball turn up next Friday. Of course you don't absolutely have to be there at launch, but there's a much higher chance of more press coverage if you are. Don't forget to look at our App Contest as well. [MacRumors]
