Digital photo frames and iPhone accessories have been simultaneously gaining ground as far as demand and popularity is concerned and now it seems that these two devices can be rolled into one with the Appstand. With the Appstand, you can now turn your iPhone into a classy digital photo frame. The Appstand seems to take the innovation brought about by docking stations only that you can dock, recharge and then showcase images while your iPhone or iPod is idle. The Appstand costs only $20 to own.

It was just a matter of time before a virus would finally make its way to iPhones and apparently first reports of it have now been revealed. Called “Ikee” the said virus changes the iPhone’s background to the picture of 1980’s singer Rick Astley. And it doesn’t stop there. Apparently it looks for other iPhones where the device is networked and spreads its dirty work. It makes use of the pre-installed SSH which is perceived to be unintentionally activated in jailbroken phones. Infection seems to be confined to Australia at the moment, though there are unconfirmed reports of Ikee in Thailand and Japan. There has been no word yet on how to remedy this Ikee virus though it has not been categorized as destructive for now.

As a parent of three children, I suppose I would have loved to have the Cry Translator during my kids’ infant years. This Cry Translator iPhone app is somehow able to interpret a baby’s cry to determine whether he or she is hungry, sleepy, stressed, annoyed, or bored.
Apparently, this works because baby crying is essentially a universal language. Believe it or not, the makers of this app say it is 96 percent accurate. If you want to test that out for yourself, go to the website and spend $30 on it. If you purchase it by November 11th, you can get it for $9.99.

I am amazed at all the new uses for augmented reality, especially those that make their appearances on iPhone apps such as Layar. There is now another augreal app with the Car Finder. (By the way, augreal is just an abbreviation that I just made up for Augmented Reality. I’m hoping it will catch on.)
Car Finder relies on an iPhone 3GS camera and digital compass in order to “overlay the direction of your car and how far away it is”. So now you have a way of remembering where you park. It is available at the App Store for about $0.99.
