Ahhh, there's nothing quite like the sweet flow of iPhone apps coming into an overstuffed Mail inbox.
- These aren't in the App Store, but if you want some alert sounds or ringtones for any iPhone, check out rcptones.
- Chopper is a helicopter side-scroller game from Majic Jungle complete with guns, bombs, and tilt-to-fly action. This $7.99 app has a Mac OS X demo for free, although all it did for me was let me watch the helicopter idling on the ground...
- Pentaho is bringing a Business Intelligence extension to iPhone. While it's a server extension that provides full access to the reporting and dashboards of Pentaho and not a native app, this is going to be big in enterprises that use Pentaho's Open Source BI Suite.
- MyStreets is a free native app that displays contacts by city, street, and address. See the video here.
- The iLoveControl iPhone interface for Crestron home automation lets you control your home from iPhone or iPod touch.
- Pelted Software's BattleAtSea (Battleship game – see screenshot) has been accepted into the App Store. Expect to see it on Friday. There's a LAN multiplayer mode.
- Another game, StarSmasher, will be available from EspressoSoft soon.
- Jerry Beers is announcing the release of Pocket-Bible. Pocket-Bible will be available via the App Store for $4.99
