Comics have become the next focus of attention as far as apps for the iPhone or iPod Touch these days and it looks like a marquee comic label will be joining the ranks of Comixology, iVerse and Panelfly. Last August, the lack of known comic brands was brought up here on Mobile Whack and it looks like the developers of the app heard us.

Several new and classic comic book issues will be added to their roster which should get the fancy of people who have started using their iPhones for their comic book collection and reading needs. Prices vary among the three developers though but if you want the cheapest one, then Panelfly should be it with a $0.99 price tag although you may want to consider the comic issues before deciding to purchase the app and from whom.

The Apple App Store hits another milestone today. While everyone knows how hard it is to get an app approved, hitting the 100,000 mark is an achievement in itself. While only 93,118 of these apps can actually be purchased, there are minor discrepancies such as sudden pullouts of apps due to some issues. In short, the list may not be up to date.

If you want the actual count, there are 101,847 approved apps to date. Audited or unaudited, tip your hats off to the App Store for achieving these numbers and feat. Another testament to the growing success of the app store for the many iPhone and iPod Touch owners looking for specific apps for their mobile device.

Novell has announced the release of the MonoTouch 1.0, a new solution that should become an ideal alternative for iPhone app developers who have been limited to using C and Objective-C in delivering apps for the iPhone and the iPod Touch. With the new iPhone app solution, the MonoTouch 1.0 allows programmers to make use of the Microsoft.net framework and other .NET programming languages.

As the number of iPhone and iPod Touch owners continue to swell, the same holds true for apps needed for various use. This number could very well balloon further with this new iPhone app solution, broadening the programming languages needed by iPhone programmers to come up with new apps that can possibly be included in Apple’s iTunes store. To date, there are over 50,000 apps available and over a billion downloaded apps thus far.

For individuals only building applications for the Apple Apps Store, MonoTouch Personal Edition is available for $399 per developer for a one-year subscription.

Don’t you just hate it when you have a difficult time finding the right app or pages to access on your iPhone or iPod Touch? While there are no definite means of organizing them the way we do on our regular desktop or laptop, perhaps an app can aid us in doing so.

Such is the intent of the AppButler for the iPhone or iPod Touch. The AppButler aims to put some organization on our Apple handsets. The app marks the screens with page numbers. Additionally, it can also set up an app register with the 20 official app categories right on the screens to organize your apps.

The app is now available for free at the AppButler website.

They are controversial and of course lavishing. Perhaps TOO lavishing thus making their app, the iPorn app for the iPhone and iPod Touch, has not yet been approved for inclusion at the iTunes store. But 5 iPorn girls aim to change all that as they pay a visit to Apple headquarters to try and convince the top Apple execs on the current state of their iPhone application.

At the moment the app can only be accessed via the iPorn website. While most iPhone and iPod Touch owners can always use Safari to access them, the effort is still different if it could be done via the Apple Store. Apple has been known to make controversial approvals on certain apps and it seems that will be the case once again. But this early, iPorn seems to be in high spirits as far as approval for their app is concerned. The approval of the iPorn iPhone app would be Apple’s first step in the right direction - NO MORE CENSORSHIP!

Check out the gallery of the iPorn Girls from their last visit.

If you think the Apple App Store is taking all the heat for its controversial manner of approving submitted iPhone apps then guess again. Palm’s App Catalog made it first official app rejection by thumbing down the NaNplayer, a music player app.

Apparently the folks over at the App Catalog camp found some inconsistencies for the NaNplayer and this was traced to the undocumented use of a webOS API call. The said app was using the same API the built-in music player uses to index files so it could make playlists.
