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.

The Jibbigo app should be something handy to have along especially for travelers who have to deal with some language barriers.

However it can only record and translate one sentence in a time which may still need some effort on the iPhone owner’s part. But it is better than not understanding one another at all!
The Jibbigo app is now available and retails for $24.99.

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.

This may not necessarily be an app for the common iPhone owner but if they are quite particular about the level of sunlight that falls on a particular part of the home (or prospective home), the Sun Seeker should be a useful iPhone app to have.

Knowledge is key and getting information from various modes of references is indeed important. However, considering that the Internet provides a lot of potential alternatives that will not even cost you a dime, this is one app for the iPhone which has good intent but sadly, a ridiculous way of sharing information. The app is called a high end graphic calculator but being sold for $50 is something that may lead to its downfall. It’s practically an almanac, a currency converter and stock analysis tool for you iPhone and even comes with features that are not available at its official site. But seriously, who in his right mind would throw away $50 for this kind of app?
People need apps for their iPhones. But at $49.99 that is a bit too steep and seems like the developers did not consider consumer preference when they priced this app!
