I Am Rich
Tech Buzz A $1000 iPhone app that does absolutely nothing. While the application itself does nothing, the act of buying does a lot: Removes $1000 from your bank account, proves to the world you are an idiot, embarrasses your family, and much, much more. Update: It's been taken down.

Shazam
Tech Buzz Our favorite iPhone app: using the phone's mic, Shazam can listen to any song and tell you what it is. How many times have you been in the Gap and wondered, "What's that awesome song they're playing in here?" Wonder no more! With the magic of Shazam, you'll never be left out of the game again. Just hold your phone up to the music for a few seconds and it will name that tune.

Tap Tap Revenge

3G iPhone Reviews
Tech Buzz As usual, the big dailies get to review Apple's newest phone before anyone else. No surprises: They like it! Beyond the fact that the two-year pricing is actually more than the earlier version of the iPhone, the only other big downside is that the GPS isn't powerful enough to provide step-by-step driving directions, which is kind of a bummer.

Holographic Text Messages
Tech Buzz The technology isn't quite there yet for the 3G iPhone, but holograph messaging may eventually replace voicemail, email and texting as the favorite mode of communication among the tech-enabled. Like videoconferencing, holographic messages would have an appeal limited to those rare people who don't mind seeing themselves on camera. But it's still a neat trick.

iPhone Porn
Tech Buzz Will porn be the secret engine that drives 3G iPhone sales? Cellphone pornography still hasn't become big in the U.S., but Time writes about "the coming pornucopia" of mobile porn via the new iPhone. 3G plus multi-touch, hello!

3G iPhone
Tech Buzz Rumors of the next-generation iPhone started a-swirling online again yesterday. Current guesses: A slightly thicker, all-black case, 3G, GPS, and no more stupid recessed headphone jack! We'd buy it for that reason alone.

My Touch Keys
Tech Buzz A possible solution for iPhone users who miss the tactile touch. A totally clear plastic layover that creates a touch feel for the keys, and doesn't seem to interfere with the touchscreen. It's the new pocket protector.

Dope Wars
Tech Buzz Dope Wars, a turn-based strategy computer game in which the player simulates the role of a drug dealer, is now available for the iPhone. You may remember this classic game from your TI-83 days (some of us unfortunately never quite made it as far as advanced calculus).
