I would have to say the trench run at the very end of Star Wars makes very little sense. After all, why should a Death Star have some weak spot, and why is there a convenient trench leading up to it? Of course, the final battle scene is so cool that you forget this.
Inspiration from these scenes has now been put in an iPhone for Star Wars: Trench Run. Not only can you get into Luke Skywalker’s piloting outfit and “use the force”, but you can even play on the Empire’s side and get rid of those pesky X-wings.
It is available now for $5 at the iTunes app Store, you should know that it has special graphics features for the iPhone 3GS.

Apple really has to get its act together. This concerns policies on approving apps. Take the case of the Bobble Rep-111th Congress Addition app. Supposedly under the developer license agreement, Apple forbids ridiculing public figures. This caricature app was originally rejected but later on approved since they deem caricatures as harmless. So there are loopholes as you can see in their policies but if this was the case, why didn’t they consider that in the first place before rejecting this bobble-head app which you can now get for $0.99 at the app store? A little consistency could really save them the criticism!

Before you go on and pass checking out the mobile device in the image above, this is not an iPhone. It carries the same looks and can deceive you in a sec, but it is really a PinPhone, another copycat to the famed Apple iPhone. It may cater to all the physical attributes of the iPhone but when it comes to accessing the iTune store, don’t bet on it. The PinPhone 3GS is living proof how the Chinese love to come out with their own imitation products and perhaps this gadget is meant to cater to people who can’t afford to get the authentic iPhone 3GS…for now of course.
