Here’s a pretty cool web app for the iPhone that lets you input a message of your choice and by turning your iPhone horizontally, will scroll your LED message across your iPhone. Just perfect for showing how cool you are with your iPhone. Or not. Point your iPhone at http://38i.biz/ledmessage/ to try it out.

An interesting video of Edward Tufte’s opinion on the iPhone’s UI. I’m not quite sure I agree with him though regarding his opinion of the weather application. In this case, I believe that less is indeed more.

The main objective of this word game is to spell the 6 letter word to qualify for the next round while trying to spell as many other words with the given letters for added points before time expires. Tap a letter to insert or delete from the word and double tap to submit the word. Tilt clockwise, counterclockwise and back again to twist the letters. Jiggy Runtime, which is available on Installer, must be installed in conjunction with this game. Download here. Now available on Installer. Add: http://byooi.com/iphone/digicide.plist as a source.

Fsaint has posted up a native iPhone shopping list application at modmyifone. The application is bare bones but provides a nice and simple way to check off items on the list by toggling the “have” and “need” buttons. This could invariably come in handy for items you consistently buy. Download here for manual install or wait for it to show up on Installer add http://mazinger.cs.yale.edu/iphone-apps/index.xml as a source in Installer and look under productivity.
