The day of celebration has arrived for porn-loving iPhone owners. Sultry stars Sunny Leone and Aria Giovanni have officially made their Apple-approved iPhone app debuts, according to CNET. The apps, courtesy of GrindHouse Mobile, feature photos, blogs, and videos, but, in news certain to crush the hopes of adolescents everywhere, reportedly contain no actual nudity. GrindHouse had to compromise ...

No doubt the biggest news at today's Apple event is the triumphant return of Steve Jobs. Out of the spotlight due to health issues, the perpetually black-turtleneck-clad Jobs took the stage (video), proudly proclaiming his gift of life. Brand new liver aside, it was the same Steve everyone has come to know and love, including the first "One more thing..." we've heard in quite some time. Head ...

Many online services have tried to drag online one of the last hold-outs of desktop software: the music manager. But the hurdle upon which Last.FM, Imeem, Slacker, and Pandora all stumble is their inability to offer users access to whatever music they want, on-demand, especially in the mobile sphere. Most of the mobile versions of these apps have been relegated to streaming, predetermined ...

For a culture that feeds ground-up, dead cows to living cows in the name of economics, we sure do get paranoid when it comes to disease. And there's no better sign of that paranoia than the Outbreaks Near Me iPhone app, which allows users to access disease outbreak information. The app is based on the free HealthMap Web site, but improves upon it by letting users add to the knowledge base. ...

We told you about the Dunkin' Donuts iPhone app. QSR told us about the Burger King app, and TechCrunch told us about the Pizza Hut app. Well, we've now gotten word from Gizmodo that Chipotle -- the Nick Nolte to Taco Bell's Gary Busey -- has an app of its own, as well. With the app (which can, of course, be gotten at Apple's App Store), anybody with an iPhone or iPod touch can locate the ...

Are you a clean-freak, on-the-move, not-entirely-struggling artist? If so, 'Brushes,' a new art application for the iPhone, could be for you. Eliminating the need for cumbersome (and messy) brushes, paint tubes, pencils, sketchbooks, and other supplies, the app allows aspiring iArtists to create miniature oeuvres with the tips of their fingers. According to The Daily Mail, many digital artists ...

High-end jeweler Cartier garnered itself a bit of (perhaps unwanted) attention this past weekend when it filed a trademark infringement suit regarding a small time iPhone app developer -- Digitopolis Game Studio. The company created a pair of apps, called Fake Watch and Fake Watch Gold Edition, which featured recreations of Cartier's "Tank" watch. Oddly enough, Cartier didn't sue Digitopolis, but ...

Even though smartphones have been around for years, the exploding application scene (started by Apple's App Store) has transformed what was typically a business communication device into much, much more. Despite the surge in mobile entertainment apps, it's not all games: According to the Washington Post, roughly 64-percent of doctors in the U.S. use a smartphone, and many are using devices like ...

It's no secret that the iPhone App Store's approval process is ambiguous at best and fundamentally flawed at worst. From the iFarts of the world to questionable baby-shaking apps, no one really knows why an app gets accepted or rejected from the store. But, in the case of the once-rejected Peekababe, developer Alan Bigio suspects that slapping an adolescent-friendly, '12+' rating on the app may ...

While certainly not the most expensive iPod we've ever seen, the limited edition Prince Opus iPod touch is definitely amongst the priciest. Sold only as part of an ultra rare kit that includes a luxurious book of Prince photographs from Kraken Opus, this touch (of unknown capacity) comes preloaded with 40 minutes of "exclusive" footage along with a live soundtrack from 'Indigo Nights.' Of ...

It's legit; Skype is coming to the iPhone on Tuesday, BlackBerry devices in May. While we've seen plenty of Skype-capable apps on the iPhone, the poor, often echo-infected calls should be easily bested by the official Skype App that doesn't need the extra audio transcoding workaround required by the existing crop of unofficial apps. The Skype app works over Wi-Fi only (not over EDGE or 3G data) ...

My, my -- now isn't this something? Shortly after narrowly avoiding a dastardly collision with bankruptcy, Sirius XM is looking to connect itself with profitable enterprises in an attempt to build market share and regain interest from budget-conscience consumers. Just weeks after hearing that the sat radio company could be preparing a few Sirius / DirecTV bundles, CFO David Frear has now ...

If you measure the success of a gadget by its available number of juvenile, gross applications and accessories then the iPhone is a huge hit. We've already seen an iPhone-compatible vibrator, but that is nothing compared to the slew of repulsive, albeit less sexually explicit, games available at the App Store. A girl we once dated really enjoyed popping people's black heads. A tad gross, we ...

digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/Trully_the_amarican_dream'; We're trying... we're trying real hard to cling to our pacifist ways. But damn if the fusion of this US Army M110 Sniper Rifle and mounted iPod touch running the BulletFlight external ballistics calculator (available via the App Store) doesn't make us want to kill. Tap in the variables such as weather conditions, ammunition type, ...

Coby calls this iPhone and iPod touch dock the "Vitruvian," for Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawing of the perfect human form. As a design piece we expected the price to be a little high but we were pleasantly surprised to learn it will carry a $79 tag when it hits store shelves sometime this summer. The dock rotates to take advantage of the iPhone and Touch's position sensor – so if you're ...
