To many PC gamers, Turbo Subs may be remembered as an addicting PC game where players have to create and maintain efficient sandwich shops just like you would in real life. The key is to address the growing demands, customer complaints and other factors such as robberies to put up an efficient restaurant in New York.

Put your management skills to the test in the food industry. Take all the factors to be considered and see if you can be a successful food joint tycoon, similar to other games like Lemonade Tycoon and related games. You just need to balance and see if you can be successful, something that many find challenging and of course rewarding if their tactics prosper.

Serving hungry customers has never been more fun with gameplay perfectly tuned for the iPhone’s flawless touch screen controls. Players open up shop in whimsical locations all around New York City throughout 60 challenging levels. Sub shop masters can fire up the kitchen hustle and unlock expert objectives in each level to keep the challenge alive and the sandwiches supplied.

This new app is now available at the Apple App Store for a MSRP of $1.99.

Depending on how you look like it, the bottom-line is that Japanese students are getting iPhones for free. The intent for this is not to be charitable but to keep track on the attendance of students, most of which have been skipping classes.

Now if an iPhone would be used, you would think that these kids could still skip class. With an embedded GPS, the school can easily track the attendance of students who are unlikely to lend it to their co-students due to the stored information and private e-mails stored in it.

Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo is giving Apple Inc.’s iPhone 3G to 550 students in its School of Social Informatics, which studies the use of Internet and computer technology in society.

As a student, you would love to be among the lucky students who would be given a free iPhone. But if you are the type of student who would love to get into mischief and make it a habit to skip class, then perhaps you would pass.

Either way, you got to hand it to Aoyama Gakuin University for adapting technology. Blending technology with disciplining students is a good move considering the iPhone craze has gone beyond just being a simple handset or gaming device as we see it today.

Bands and instrument playing artists are going to love this new app for the iPhone. The need to make sure that your guitar or any stringed instrument that needs tuning just got a big lift as the ToneTuner v1.1 for the iPhone can assist you.

Here is a software that is bound to put your mobile phone cameras to good use. Today, phone cameras have become an important add-on for mobile phone seekers. And taking note of that trend, Touchnote has released an app which allows mobile users to take shots of actual real time images and add a message which eventually produces a greeting card that can be sent via Wifi.

Raam Thakrar, CEO of Touchnote, explains: “Touchnote for Mobile takes the best of both worlds, combining the ease of use, speed and personalisation possible in the virtual world with a physical memento. With our service on their Nokia phones, people will be able to easily create their own personal greeting cards on the move by taking photos, adding a personal message and postal address and then simply uploading this to us for next-day distribution.

Now how neat is that? With this new idea, you can simply find the right scene to shoot and then you can perhaps brighten another person’s day with it once they receive it. Touchnote for Mobile is available for free download from the Nokia Ovi store.

Touchnote is offering a free photo card credit to every customer and users can top up their credits through the Ovi Store. The greeting cards will be available in credit bundles, with 1 card available for £3, 2 cards for £5 or 5 cards for £10.

Nokia’s own app store, the Ovi Store, has been soft launched in Australia, Ireland and Singapore.

Here comes a unique and different type of a game, something that may be of interest to novice hackers wannabe out there. The game calls for a user to try and hack a network of computers using arsenals that include viruses or bounce your connection through hacked servers to avoid being caught. In short, it is similar to any strategy game only that the setting is perhaps a hacker’s haven.

“Hacker Evolution is the first step from a series of innovative and unique games that we are designing and bringing to the iPhone and iPod devices.” said Robert Muresan, Founder and CEO of Exosyphen Studios.

Hacker Evolution is available at the Apple App Store for only $0.99.

Now the iPhone becomes a paint brush. What could possibly be next? Well if you have seen a copy of the New Yorker lately, don’t be surprised if you hear that it was all done with the use of an iPhone with a certain application ironically called Brushes.

Though it seems hard to believe how you can make a miniature device create such graphics given its small screen, one person was able to do it. The person is Jorge Colombo, a recurring artist who got his iPhone just last February and installed the Brushes application.

Make way for another game for the iPhone. The new game is a 3D racing game which promises to provide fun and test just how good you are at skiing in the snow. The game is from Imangi Studios titled the Little Red Sled.

The controls are simple, you just tilt your iPhone or iPod as you would with any steering wheel. For tricks you just shake it (but be sure not to do it too hard like crazy). The game totally relies on the motion or the stature of your iPhone although sensitivity level adjustments are sure to be around.

The game is made up of 15 levels, each varying in difficulty. The goal is to achieve the instructions which include that of retrieving certain gifts or amassing a certain number of points. Either way, you can expect a crazy ride trying to figure out this game and what is in store in the end.

Little Red Sled is compatible with any iPhone or iPod touch running the iPhone 2.1 software update.

For a game that has built on its reputation from the Gameboy Advance and WiiWare, the new Toki Tori puzzle game for the iPhone should be among the top apps people will surely look into at the Apple app store. The game is developed by Two Tribes and published by Chillingo.

Toki Tori is no chicken. The little yellow bird must brave 80 stages of increasingly treacherous puzzles and enemies to rescue lost eggs. Each stage has a set number of eggs that must be collected. To rescue an egg, all he needs to do is touch it. However, reaching these eggs is not going to be easy. For one thing, Toki Tori can only climb short ledges and ladders. If he falls into a pit or off a ledge with a high wall, there is no recourse but to start the stage over again.

Simple yet challenging is what this app is and for sure, iPhone owners will be looking into this game which has really done well on the other game consoles. This puzzle game is certainly something for the witty and boasts of great graphics that really help set the mood for an enjoyable game.

It does seem like this new app for iPhones can relate well to the phrase, “Second Time is a Charm”. At least that is the story of this app called the Eucalyptus which was initially rejected due to some issues surrounding the type of materials that users could get once installed.

The e-book reader for the iPhone and iPod touch was rejected because a person could get sexually oriented books like the Kama Sutra, even though the book is in the public domain and freely available on the web.

However, it seems that after the developers have explained their part on the confusion surrounding this app, Apple was convinced of the actual intent of the app and really had no malicious intent involved. After showing the rebuilt version, Apple representatives finally gave the go signal for the app, setting the lines straight as far as what the app is really all about.
