iPhone App News Roundup: June 24, 2008
w00t! Another batch of iPhone App Store pre-announcements:
- Jeff at TrouserMac Industries sent a blurb about an upcoming iPhone app that's right up my alley. Brewing Buddy will be free from the App Store after launch and consists of a tool for calculating and refining beer receipes, a brewing helper, and a social recipe sharing application. Bottoms up! [Our esteemed colleague would like to remind everyone that pants-based computing is a registered idea of Erica Sadun Enterprises. -Ed.]
- TheBarCodeProject is readying TouchWord, an iPhone Holy Bible with sections for notes and an included RSS reader for Christian learning resources.
- Meanwhile, over in Oxford, Mississippi, Deepak Mantena and TapeShow, LLC are getting ready to release Chores for Mac OS X and a companion app called Chores mobile for iPhone. Deepak says that "all the unnecessary fluff that's in existing productivity tools is eliminated."
- While it's not an announced app, I loved reader Jack Chance's idea – "Will someone write some software that turns the 3G iPhone into a bike computer? It should give speed, distance, and store the route so that you can sync with your Mac at home..." A lot of bikers would love this app idea — go for it, developers!
- Long-time Palm game developers Seahorse Software are bringing Blackjack Run to the iPhone and iPod touch in July.
- Advenio, makers of MacGourmet, are bringing a yet-to-be-named recipe application to iPhone.
- The amazing ApolloIM app will be going legal for all of you IM addicts.
- Michael Howard at Midnight Martian Software is bringing his 3D OpenGL-based Midnight Mahjong Solitaire to market soon!
Send us your announcements of upcoming iPhone App Store goodies, and we'll try to get 'em posted.
