A few weeks back I posted about a web app that allowed you to input a message and have it scroll across your iPhone’s screen and my first thought was how awesome it would be if it were a native app. Masayuki Akamatsu has made my wish come true. This developer has programmed a native Led Banner app that you can download by adding: http://akamatsu.org/repo.xml as an Installer source. Check out this developers website for more native iPhone apps.

Mirrorscope is a native iPhone application developed by Masayuki Akamatsu, which gives you a nice kaleiodoscope effect using the iphone’s camera. Add: http://akamatsu.org/repo.xml as an Installer source to download this app and many more.

iAno (soon to be renamed Pianist) developer, MooCowMusic, will soon be releasing Drummer, a new 15 sample Drum Pad for your iPhone / iPod Touch with the following features:

The following kits come pre-installed: Rock, Dance, Jazz 1 and 2, and Electro.

Drumkits are fully expandable to allow you to add your own samples (Visit MooCowMusic For More Info).

Look for it soon on the http://modmyifone.com/installer.xml Installer source. Now available by adding: http://www.touchrepo.com/repo.xml as an Installer source.

Now how about working on a Vocals app that makes me sound less like s#@t when I sing along to my favorite tunes, mmmkay.:)

It seems the issue with Scrabble not working when Tetris is installed has been resolved. Download the latest version of Jiggy Runtime by adding: http://jiggyapp.com/i as a source in Installer and download Jiggy Runtime version 0.26 along with Scrabble that has been updated here.

Caterpillar brings to the table some nifty little customization apps that make the iPhone more useful and enjoyable. Programs included in the bundle are Smart Dialer, µCalendar, Privacy, Reminder, System Font and Facelift. My personal favorites are µCalendar, which allows you to look at a cursory glance at the lock screen providing the current month’s calendar along with the events for the current day. System font is also another favorite which allows you to *duh* change the system font of your iPhone and lastly Smart Dialer, which in case you have a ton of contacts will let you search by name or number with the keypad and vibrates with each key press. The only thing I don’t like is the fact that Caterpillar is distributed on a subscription basis but if you find most of the apps useful, it could very well be worth it. Prices start out at $20.00 for 6 months, $35.00 for 12 months and $45.00 for an unlimited subscription. *The fine folks at Caterpillar have been gracious enough to donate five 6-month subscriptions to their applications. To win, just leave a comment on which application you’re most interested in and what they can incorporate to make it an even better feature. Five winners will be picked by March 3, 2008.*

The following winners are: Julio, Brett, Bryan, Rob and Angel. Your email addresses have been forwarded to Caterpillar to receive your 6 month subscription. Thanks to everyone who participated. I only wish I could give all of you a subscription.
