The more exposure I have to iPhones, the more I think I'd like to have one, just for all the fun and useful apps you can get for them. Reader Ben Kosmina let me know about Bebot, a music synthesiser cleverly disguised as a cute little toy. Look at this thing:

It's like two dollars. If I had an iThing of some sort, I would have bought it just then.

You know, the new DSi, with the DSi shop, could be this cool, if Nintendo really wants it to be, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. You know how Nintendo is.

Ben also wanted me to plug his own iPhone game, Neonscape, which I am happy to do because it looks like fun. If you happen to buy it and play it, please tell us what you think about it on the forums, because why not.

And while I'm on the subject, don't forget about Kenichi Nishi and Kenji Eno's Newtonica 2, now available in a FREE demo version, so you can scrutinise and evaluate it before committing to spending a whole freaking dollar.
