The Jibbigo app should be something handy to have along especially for travelers who have to deal with some language barriers. Translation is a key necessity for some people and with the use of their iPhone and this translating app, live could be easier and clearer for them. The app is the Jibbigo app which can translate spoken English dialects into Spanish and vice-versa. 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.

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!
