Rotation Inhibitor: SBSettings Toggle Allows you to Disable Accelerometer

Though the accelerometer is one of the coolest features of the iPhone, I find it annoying everytime I move around in bed while reading on the iPhone, as the screen keeps rotating.

I finally got fed up the other day and had to figure out a way to disable the accelerometer/screen rotation.

Luckily, I stumbled upon a SBSettings Toggle aptly called Rotation Inhibitor which allows you to disable the accelerometer on the fly to stop the screen from rotating.

iXpenseIt: iPhone App that helps you Manage your Finances on the Move

Budget, in general terms, helps you plan expenses by making you more aware of your saving and spending patterns. iXpenseIt does that and more with its latest version 2.4.1 available in the App Store.
 
Well, the world economy isn’t still back on its feet, and it’s less likely that it will be, by the time I finish my review.
 
I am going to cover the paid version of the iPhone app in this article. The idea behind creating iXpenseIt is fairly simple. It is supposed to help you track your expenses as you go.

Jailbreak App - biteSMS for iPhone: Feature-Rich, Easier and Cheaper way to SMS

I send and receive a lot of SMS and have always missed the feature of forwarding messages. I was also looking for a cheaper SMS service (cheaper, not free :)).

I thought that carriers would not allow any other SMS app that competes against iPhone's native SMS app. Surprisingly though, the App Store does have number of iPhone apps that claim to send free SMS. Unfortunately, none of these apps deliver and have barely managed to get past the single star rating in the App store.

Email ‘n Walk iPhone App makes it Easier to Write Email while Walking

iPhone app Email ‘n Walk developed by Phase2 Media is focused on a simple requirement, ‘facilitate e-mail writing while you walk’. Interestingly, the idea started off as an April Fool's day iPhone app that lets you see where you're going.

I personally think it’s a very clever use of iPhone's camera and even though it has some limitations, I think it’s cool.

iPhone App - Mover: Sharing Photos and Contacts has never been so much Fun

There are a number of iPhone apps available on the App Store that allow users to send photos and contacts over Wi-Fi.

Yahoo Messenger - Popular Instant Messaging App comes to iPhone; Allows you to Send Free SMS

My favorite instant messaging application for the desktop is Yahoo Messenger. So I was quite keen to check Yahoo Messenger for iPhone when it was released on the App Store earlier in the week.

SwirlyMMS is a native iPhone application that brings the missing MMS feature to the jailbroken iPhone (at least until this summer as Apple has finally included the MMS feature in iPhone OS 3.0).

Monopoly for iPhone: Most Played Board Game comes to iPhone [iPhone Game Review]

Monopoly, one of the most played board game in the world, has been made available for iPhone. It is a colorful game with an interface that is very simple to understand.

Monopoly Here & Now, as its called on the iPhone involves negotiations, resource management and some amount of luck with the dice.

Electronic Arts (EA) has managed to neatly squeeze the board game of yesteryear onto iPhone's 3.5-inch screen.
