As for the games,Star Wars is a torture at least for me.I have always hated RPGs. Graphics are quite commendable though.Good for RPG fans.
Spore,EA makes de decent enough games.A must try for all iPhone owners.
Real Soccer is the best game for iPhone yet.Go get it!
2 little scratches on the screen.Nothing serious.

I'm so addicted to iGolf and Blue Skies at the moment. I'm done with Blue Skies Lite, wondering if I should go for the full version.

Uh… it’s not happening, mate. They’ve been saying this ever since the SDK was first announced.
Thanks, specially for providing a direct link! Bought it.
I don’t know any freeware but there’s VisualHub. It’s $25 and totally worth it.Can anyone recommend a good video conversion software for the iPhone ? Preferably freeware

Re: iPhone3G owners discussion thread
Sorry for being off-topic, but is it still possible to buy a Macbook under the student discount scheme or anywhere else that I can get a good deal ?
Thats right. I tried "MediaCoder iPhone Edition", but its quite slow. Took about 30 mins for encoding a 75-min video. How fast is VisualHub ?

Re: iPhone3G owners discussion thread
if you guys tell me the exact video specs recommended for an iPhone, maybe I can help with an app. So,
1. Whats the native iPhone resolution for video ?
2. How many channels audio ? 2 or 1 ?
3. Which format should video be ? mpeg4 or h.264 ?
4. Which format should audio be ? HE-AAC or LC-AAC ?
5. What is the max bitrate iPhone can handle ?
6. Does it use the mp4 container or the mov container ?
7. Is it 25fps or 30fps ?
If you answer these, I can find you an encoder with the right settings which can encode files for the iPhone.
If you are being charged 25$ for an app to do the encoding, you are being SERIOUSLY RIPPED OFF.

No, I’m not. I believe that software is more valuable than hardware and don’t expect a Linux user to understand. I consciously made the decision not to pirate software (and that doesn’t mean giving up on paid software and using crappy free alternatives instead) just because I wanted to show my respect for the efforts that go behind writing a good application that does what it promises to.
), check out this post on Daring Fireball. It’s absolutely irrefutable logic.

And just in case you’re one of the few paranoid people who do not take my word as the final word of God (really, you aren’t? That’s surprising!
