    Hey, John, ever consider a "This Week's Best Android Apps"? Us Android users need some love, too.

    Also, can one of the Gizmodo Powers That Be(tm) remove these spam posts in red from "pengzi1990"? #theweekiniphoneapps

    Even if it is slightly different, and even if the developer thought of it on their own, I'd still like to take credit for having inspired ARGH when I wrote "I want to see an augmented reality application based on 'They Live.'" back in July. Now all the developer needs to do is add the option to blow them alien/ghost's heads off - I'd pay $2 for that. #theweekiniphoneapps

    The google wave iphone app seems really useless. If you visit google wave through the iphone, it anyway launches into web app mode.

    So why do I need to buy an app that does just that?? #theweekiniphoneapps

    @PorkPie: Well, there are two kinds. A basic, new parent is normally associated with the father. A "gullible, flush with cash for ridiculous baby purchases new parent " is often associated with the mother. Of course, this is only my experience, as when both of mine were born my wife had registered for every single piece of "new baby" paraphernalia available under the sun.

    Does a baby really need a stroller for the car AND a stroller for the house? #theweekiniphoneapps

    @surfer88: I mean, we have a jogging stroller and an umbrella stroller, and each serves a purpose, but I'm not spending $30 on a cry translator. If the dev had made it $2, I might have picked it up as a lark, but $30? Thats for those that don't know about the cry-method and are completely addled from sleep deprivation. #theweekiniphoneapps

    Tower madness (either version) is flat out one of my favorite games for the iPhone.

    I've downloaded a lot more since then, played the hell out of them, but I still go back to tower madness again and again.

    Part of it is that the maps are constantly updated and they usually have a contest each time which is kinda fun. #theweekiniphoneapps

    There is a major issue with the NBA league pass app that's not mentioned in the description, but check the reviews. Say you're a Lakers fan, you live in L.A., but you're out and about a lot and want to be able to follow the game. Sounds like the perfect app, right? It would be except the app blacks out the games for local teams in all areas. So the app is useless for following your favorite team if, which is probable, you live in the area your team plays. #theweekiniphoneapps

    @KBeat: I would think that would be solvable by checking the GPS location at the time you request the stream (or check the wifi estimated location, if the device doesn't have GPS, such as a Touch).

    If you're not within X miles radius of the game you're trying to watch, you get to see it. Otherwise, blackout.

    Simple. #theweekiniphoneapps

    @Zanzan42: But that doesn't really "solve" anything.

    Yeah it would work if you were traveling and wanted to watch your favorite team (when you weren't in x miles) but most people would want it for just when they're on the town. Going out for drinks at a bar that doesn't have TV, dinner at a nice restaurant with the wife, those sort of things. That is the kinda stuff that would get blacked out and is pretty silly. #theweekiniphoneapps

    @tande04: If you're out for drinks at the bar, they're probably paying to carry the game.

    If you're out for dinner with the wife at a nice restaurant, are you seriously going to break out your device and watch the game? I suppose that solves the problem, because you'll be seeing the next game alone at the bar... #theweekiniphoneapps

    @Zanzan42: They're probably paying for the game in the bar with no TVs? Thats silly. That bar isn't staying in business long.

    The over all point being there are tons more situations that come up where it would be handy to have in the town where the team is than the flip situation of a person using it only in travel situations. #theweekiniphoneapps

    I wish the graphics on zombie babes were a bit better. with those disjointed heads and arms, the developer might as well have hired an ugly chick and saved a couple of bucks. (no offense to ugly chicks out there) #theweekiniphoneapps

    Two things.

    1) Settlers of Catan is indeed an awesome game.
    2) The NBA hardly resembles basketball. #theweekiniphoneapps

    @soggy_cheerio: After reading the review I thought perhaps that Settlers of Catan was for me, and then you also said it was awesome, so I became excited.

    And then you said that other thing, and I realized you were not to be trusted. #theweekiniphoneapps

    I'm diggin' the Nikon app. Does it need Wi-Fi to access the info/photos, though? Not so great for the lowly iTouch users.

    Also, that damn Disney "D" still looks like a backwards "G". Still making me feel dyslexic, after all these years. #theweekiniphoneapps
