iPhone App News Roundup: July 9, 2008

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
  • Of course you want to make cartoons out of your photos. That's why Standard Widget Corporation is developing iToony ($4.99).

Stay tuned to TUAW for all of your iPhone app news.
