MobilePet myPhone

One of the first game launched for the iPhone is Cellufun's MobilePet myPhone that is a virtual pet game, only that the pet is actually an iPhone. And like any pet it has needs, you have to feed him, but what does a petphone eats, you ask? Tunes and videos, of course!
The mini iPhone also plays by browsing the web and using mobile games, but sometimes it get's sick and needs to visit the virtual computer store to get well.

MobilePet myPhone is available online from your iPhone and also from other 566 handheld devices.
The game has a scoring system, that gives you points when you take good care of your pet and also when your friends visit your pet's page on Cellufun's site, and at the end of the month, the player with the highest score wins a real IPhone!

iPhone Customized Google Home

Even though some people see in Google and its Android mobile platform a competitor for iPhone, our favorite search engine seems to know once again that the best way to succede is not to fight competition, but to take advantage of it.
Adding to the native implementation of Google Maps and YouTube on the iPhone, Google now comes with a customized home page, designed for mobile Safari of the iPhone and iPod Touch, this way targeting the milions of iPhone users around the world.
The new redesigned home page comes not only with a perfect sized search box, but also with a top navigation bar that allows easy access to all popular Google sevices, like Gmail, Reader or Calendar.You can have access to this new version of Google by simply pointing your iPhone Safari to Google.com

Services.app for Iphone - Disable Edge, Turn ON/OFF bluetooth, WiFi and SSH

Services.app - Disable Edge, Turn Off Bluetooth, Wifi, and SSH

This Application is used for easy accessing to the different running services for the iphone such as Wifi, Bluetooth, EDGE, Calling, and SSH.

Currently the Application only supports turning on/off Edge, Bluetooth, Wifi, and OpenSSH.

Requirements
In order for this to all work, your system must have BSD Subsystem installed or at least the BSD/Unix tools grep, launchctl, sh/zsh/some shell, and ifconfig.

Installation
Install through Installer.app, how simple could it be, or to do it manually; copy the unzipped Services.app to /Applications and chmod 755 as usual.

If anyone has some suggestions for things that would also be nice to control from Services, let me know.

Download Here Services.app

Lockbox - Password & Information manager for iphone


Lockbox is a password & secret information storage program for the iPhone. It stores passwords for websites (or any system), credit card info, or any secret information you need to keep ready at hand, encrypted on your iPhone.

Download here LockBox

Installation via Installer.app

Lockbox is available via Ste Packaging, a repository in the Community Sources. Sometimes the maintainer is busy and takes a while to update the package, so I have made my own repository for your convenience.

From Installer, go to Sources, and click Edit. Then click Add, and enter:

http://iphonelockbox.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/repo.xml

You should see the latest version of Lockbox available to you. I've noticed when there is another version available on another repository, Installer thinks you need to upgrade to this, whether or not it's a lower version.
Alternate Installation

You can download the .pxl and install it via iNdependence (Mac) or iBrikr (Win).
Donations

You can send PayPal donations if you wish to lockbox-donations@nathanblack.org
Version 0.5 Released

I highly recommend installing the BSD Subsystem before upgrading or installing - if you do, you will have Lockbox's password authentication background become the same as your iPhone's background. It is the automated process I described here.

Features
Tags - apply multiple tags to items, and filter view items by multiple tags
Option to hide secret items in the list view
Option to edit items upon selection (ie tap the item anywhere)
Change password
Lockbox locks when iPhone locks
