Yesterday was the first day of the Apple-Starbucks partnership to bring iTunes integration to your local Starbucks. If you haven’t heard by now, the idea is that when you walk into a Starbucks and you have a laptop, iPhone, or iPod Touch, you will get a special Starbucks store with specific Starbucks music and a “now playing” option so you can check out what you are hearing over the speakers in the cafe. So, how does this work in practice in New York, one of two cities slated to have initial support for this integration?

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve released a second iPhone game. This one is a cross between Tetris and Soduku, called “Tetroku!”

If you like either of those games, there are elements here for you to get addicted to. The full version is available from iGiki.com, but the demo version is available here for free, and is also playable in Firefox (sorry IE users).

You can also check out my previous iPhone game, Space Wormy, also known as Canyon Crawler.

As always, feedback is welcome!

Here you go … the first action game for the iPhone. While there are a handful of board and puzzle games available, this is the first action game ever released for the iPhone!

Check it out! Unfortunately, this game only works on Safari (Windows or Mac), and on the iPhone itself. No Firefox or IE

** Update — now works in Firefox! **
** Update2 — Added high scores to Space Wormy! **

I wrote a white pages application for the iPhone, and have it hosted on this site. If you’re viewing this from your iPhone, just click here, or point your browser to http://2robots.com/iphone.

For now, this app can find people’s names and addresses from their land line phone number. I’ll be enhancing it over the next few weeks (when I get back from vacation) with other ways of searching as well.

PS: The app doesn’t search your addressbook … it searches the White Pages on the Internet!

Along with 500,000 other consumers in the United States, I went out and bought myself an iPhone this past weekend. While by far this is the best phone, iPod, and mobile Internet Browser I’ve ever used (just like Steve Jobs said), there are plenty of reviews on the web which can tell you all about that.

What I am more interested in, is “Can I use it to replace my Blackberry?”

The press seems to be infatuated lately that the keyboard on the iPhone isn’t as good as other smart phones like, say, a BlackBerry. This obsession comes mainly from the fact that the press is desperately looking for something negative to say about the iPhone, and really this is the only thing they can come up with.
