As you can see in the video, MobileMe push mail is now active, fully operative, and perfectly armed. My iPhone is now getting all email in real time, both over a Wi-Fi connection and using a cellphone network. I even use EDGE—not 3G—and a non-official carrier on roaming. So far, not a single problem. Bad news, RIM: BlackBerry is dead, dead, dead. Dead

The iPhone 3G may be here, but what we're really excited about is the iPhone 2.0 software update. Only some people really need faster browsing and slightly better location services, but everyone can use the new features in the OS. Now that we've gotten chance to go through all that updated functionality—as well as a good chunk of apps, MobileMe and Exchange—we've only got one question left. Is iPhone 2.0 so good that you don't even need to upgrade to an iPhone 3G? It depends. But if I was forced to choose between an iPhone 3G barren of apps and the slower original with them, I'd go for the apps.

Macrumors has a useful post on how you can upgrade (downgrade, technically) from the leaked "iPhone1,2" firmware to the official "iPhone1,1" firmware issued early this morning. The leaked firmware was intended to only for use with iPhone 3G before it got out to the masses. In short, you need to download the correct firmware, and hold down the option key when you check for firmware updates in iTunes, allowing you to pick the file you want to install.

Hudson Soft Co., Ltd. today announced three of its key gaming titles, BOMBERMAN TOUCH - THE LEGEND OF MYSTIC BOMB, AQUA FOREST and SUDOKU will all be available on the Apple App Store when it launches today. All these exciting games fully leverage the unique and innovative features of iPhone and iPod touch, including the Multi-Touch screen and accelerometer. These three games are only the first in a series of applications that Hudson Soft plans to release for the iPhone OS platform.
BOMBERMAN TOUCH -THE LEGEND OF MYSTIC BOMB- is Hudson Soft's flagship title on the Apple App Store. Classic Bomberman gameplay is melded seamlessly with the innovative Multi-Touch user interface using motions such as flick, tap and tilt in a story set amongst ancient ruins.
Players can also control Bomberman's moves by touching any location on the screen to bring up a directional control pad.
AQUA FOREST powered by OctaveEngine Casual has two modes in the game - Puzzle mode with a water and ecology motif and Free mode in which users can create anything they wish using the game’s tools. Puzzle mode has five levels, each of which has ten stages, for a total of fifty stages. As each puzzle is solved, the tree in the background will grow gradually. In Free mode, users will experience a whole new world of drawing. Using real physics, graphics created using the game’s tools will come to life as soon as they are drawn on the touch screen.
SUDOKU Vol.1- in collaboration with Nikoli, the inventor of this globally popular logic puzzle and Hudson Soft introduce Sudoku for iPhone and iPod touch. Gameplay is designed specifically for the touch screen so players can easily enter numbers in boxes as smoothly as writing with a pen.
Apple's new App Store will provide iPhone users with native applications in a variety of categories including games, business, news, sports, health, reference and travel. The App Store on iPhone works over cellular networks and Wi-Fi, which means it is accessible from just about anywhere, so you can purchase and download applications wirelessly and start using them instantly. Some applications are even free and the App Store notifies you when application updates are available.

Hudson Soft Co., Ltd. today announced its ground-breaking game AQUA FOREST will be available on the Apple App Store at launch today, priced at just $7.99. AQUA FOREST is the first commercial product to use OctaveEngine Casual, the 2D multi-physics engine designed by Prometech Software, for the development of casual games. The App Store will be available tomorrow on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/
There are two modes in the game: Puzzle mode with a water and ecology motif and Free mode in which users can create anything they wish using the game’s tools. Puzzle mode has five levels, each of which has ten stages, for a total of fifty stages. As each puzzle is solved, the tree in the background will grow gradually. In Free mode, users will experience a whole new world of drawing. Using real physics, graphics created using the game’s tools will come to life as soon as they are drawn on the touch screen.
All puzzles featured in this application have one common theme: moving the water on the screen of the iPhone or iPod touch. The gameplay is easily accessible so that a wide range of users will be able to enjoy the puzzles. For example, in one puzzle, users must figure out how to catch water drops falling from a tree using a container. To move the water, users must use two of the unique features of iPhone: the accelerometer and the innovative Multi-Touch user interface. Using the accelerometer, users can tilt their devices to move water, and using the touch screen, draw with the game’s tools, including a pen, knife, eraser or more, in order to eliminate the obstacles or to draw walls to direct water to the goal.
In Free mode, users can choose from physical properties, such as water, fire, gel and rubber, to draw using various tools, such as drag, move, brush, pencil, and an eraser. Based on the physical properties used, drawings will move in real time as water splashes, fire burns, and so on.
Using the abilities of OctaveEngineTM Casual combine user actions with simultaneous physics calculations, AQUA FOREST provides ingenious interactive entertainment never seen before.

In Super Monkey Ball, players control one of the four monkeys from the Super Monkey Ball franchise – AiAi, MeeMee, Baby and Gongon. With each monkey inside of a transparent ball, players must tilt the device to roll the monkey through 110 different stages, all while overcoming a number of obstacles such as gaps, slopes, narrow ledges and moving platforms. With a pinpoint control mechanism, players will simply tilt and turn the device to maneuver their monkey, accelerating and decelerating as they make their way through the colorfully animated world. With five different worlds and three gamplay modes – Main Game, Instant Play and Practice Mode – Super Monkey Ball brings next-generation console gaming to the iPhone.
Super Monkey Ball, a highly anticipated application developed by Other Ocean Interactive, will carry a price point of $9.99 and be available on all worldwide App Stores. For more information about Super Monkey Ball and other SEGA Mobile products, please visit www.segamobile.com.

Capybara Games, a Canadian mobile and handheld game studio focused on the creation of innovative games, announced today that its award-winning mobile puzzle game, Critter Crunch, is now available on the Apple® iPhone™ 3G and iPod® touch. Critter Crunch is being released on the new Apple gaming platforms by Publisher X, a publisher focused on digitally downloaded titles.
“Bringing our game to the new Apple iPhone 3G and iPod touch is a fantastic next step in the evolution of Critter Crunch,” said Capybara President Tom Frencel. “Critter Crunch’s exciting levels and addictive nature will have millions of iPhone users struggling to put the game down.”
In Critter Crunch, players assume the role of Biggs, a friendly, furry forest dweller with an unending hunger for tasty critters. Using his long tongue, Biggs must set the food chain in motion by launching smaller critters into the waiting mouths of larger ones, clearing the screen and filling his belly.
Critter Crunch game features:
- Multiple award-winning “Food Chain” puzzle style: Feed smaller critters into larger ones and watch them pop! The longer your chain, the larger the jewel!
- Tons of levels and four amazing game modes to unlock: Adventure Mode, Puzzle Mode, Time Trial and Survival.
- Cute critters, lush hand-painted background and catchy tunes keep the game bouncing!
- Lots of Power-ups and special critters keep things fresh by providing new challenges
- Intuitive tutorials teach you every aspect of the game: Learning to play Critter Crunch is a snap!
- Slick touch controls make playing Critter Crunch a breeze: Simply drag Biggs to move from column to column, and tap him to grab the critters above. Tap again to spit a grabbed critter into the waiting mouths of larger critters above and help the food chain along. Critter Crunch’s drag and tap controls are intuitive, precise and perfectly suited to the iPhone’s touch screen.
This innovative “food chain” mechanic created by Capybara Games helped make Critter Crunch one of the most well received mobile games of 2007, winning two IGN Best of 2007 awards (Best Puzzle Game and Biggest Surprise) as well as the Independent Games Festival 2008 Best Mobile Game of the Year and Best Audio Achievement.

There it is, the new freebie from Apple which turns your iPhone or iPod touch into a remote control. It works with Apple TV and iTunes over the WiFi network to play, pause, skip and shuffle your songs stored in your iTunes library. You get access to playlists, album art (displayed in the Remote app), control over AirTunes speakers, and the ability to search your entire library. No video support apparently but free is free and 1.0 is 1.0.
Update: Looks like Apple has updated Apple TV to 2.1 with support for the new remote app, along with support for MobileMe. Get it via your Apple TV's Update Software feature.
Update 2: You can control playback of iTunes videos on your PC or Mac well -- a sceenshot of the video appears on the iPhone.

So we can't help but notice that Apple still hasn't officially released iPhone software 2.0 for first-gen iPhones, even though most self-respecting gadget freaks have pulled it from the direct download links that popped up earlier. Since the file was hosted and available on Apple's servers around the time it was expected for release, it seemed safe to assume that it was legit -- and indeed, it (for the most part) works fine and plays well with the newly-live App Store. But a few of us here have had persistent problems on our first-gen iPhones: interface lag, crashing apps, hard resets, you name it. On top of that, we're hearing whispers that the .ipsw in question was meant only for 3G phones and not first-gen units -- and bizarrely, the build number of what we've got is 5A347, while our launch iPhone 3G is running build 5A345 on them. So until Apple stops being, well, Apple, and clears this all up, we're putting it to you: how are things going? Any problems, or smooth sailing? Happy you took the early plunge? Let us know in comments!

Listen up children, we've got a story to tell. It's scary and exciting and might just turn your iPod touch to fairy dust if you're not careful. The 2.0 firmware is reportedly leaked (and thus cash-free) to those of you daring enough to try. We've been contacted by a dozen netizens who claim to confirm the authenticity. However, at least one tipster reports their iPod touch getting "bricked doing it from pc but mac restore worked fine." What's more, we can't find the file in Apple's XML. Still, most say it "works like a dream," installing goodies from the App Store without problems. While the original download source is now 404, we're sure you can figure out other ways of locating "iPod1,1_2.0_5A345_Restore.ipsw." Ready, go. One more pic after the break.

It's hard to think of any other device that's enjoyed the level of exposure and hype that Apple found in the launch of the first iPhone. Who could forget it? Everyone got to be a gadget nerd for a day; even those completely disinterested in technology seemed to come down with iPhone fever. But the original device was still far from perfect: its limited capabilities (especially in the 3G department), high price of entry, and the small number of countries in which it was available kept many potential buyers sidelined. Until now -- or so Apple hopes.
The wireless industry is a notoriously tough nut to crack, and it's become pretty clear that the first iPhone wasn't about total domination so much as priming the market and making a good first impression with some very dissatisfied cellphone users. With the iPhone 3G, though, Apple's playing for keeps. Not only is this iPhone's Exchange enterprise support aiming straight for the heart of the business market, but the long-awaited 3rd party application support and App Store means it's no longer just a device, but a viable computing platform. And its 3G network compatibility finally makes the iPhone welcome the world over, especially after Cupertino decided to ditch its non-traditional carrier partnerships in favor of dropping the handset price dramatically. $200? We're still a little stunned.
So now that Apple finally stands poised for an all out war on cellphone-makers everywhere, will the iPhone 3G stand up to the competition -- and higher expectations than ever? Read on for our full review.
Update: Updated with some more battery tests. So far we're not that impressed.

It's only 4pm ET and the iPhone 3G has already had a pretty rough go of it, with most customers forced to wait for Apple's activation servers to get back online and render their devices operational. AT&T just told us that the servers are back online, though, and that activations are occuring for 3G customers -- we're guessing that means first-gen upgraders are seeing things work as well. Lines are still killer right now, but now that the servers are back up, let's hope the chaos subsides a bit. We'll be filling in stock / line situations worldwide after the break as they come in, let us know what's up by you in comments or email iphone AT engadget DAWT com!
Update: Most AT&T stores are out of stock -- if you must have an iPhone today, it looks like an Apple store is the only way to go. Have fun in line!
NYC:

Soho, 4:18pm ET: Line is three hours long, stock situation is looking good.

North Carolina:
Crabtree Valley Mall, Raleigh, 5:05pm ET: 300 - 400 deep, 3-4 hour wait, "might" have enough for tonight.
Southpoint in Durham, 5:05pm ET: 200 - 300 in line, 2 - 3 hour wait, should have enough for those in line right now, but could sell out tonight.

via Washington Post
The gaming industry came out early and strongly in favor of the new features the iPhone brought to the scene just over a year ago. Developers constantly chatted about how eager they were to build applications for the device, but had to wait seven months before Apple ( NSDQ: AAPL) announced plans to offer its software development kit and launch an App Store where publishers could sell their work. mocoNews caught up with Sega Mobile VP Linda Chaplin today to talk about the iPhone's impact on the mobile gaming space and what it could spell for the future from other device makers. Here's some highlights from the interview:
-- Impact on wireless industry:"We refer to the iPhone as the first version of mobile 2.0 ? I just think it's going to change our industry," Chaplin said. "It's been fantastic for the mobile industry as a whole. I think it has awakened the other hardware partners to want to do something more innovative. It's fantastic for us."
-- Evolution in mobile gaming capabilities:"We're thrilled we can make more unique and exciting games." Most mobile games in Sega's catalog have four or five levels, while the publisher's first title brought to the iPhone, Super Monkey Ball, has 110 levels of play.
-- App Store as sole distribution point and Apple's revenue share model:"We were a little bit limited with the type of value chain that we have been subject to in the past and it's tough. This is a much more fair revenue split ? we look forward to a much more publisher positive revenue split."
More thoughts on content discovery and features yet to come, after the jump?
-- Discoverability on the iPhone: The device has brought content providers an entirely revamped opportunity to be found in the gauntlet of mobile content floating around. "It's fantastic for discovery of content." It also opens up the playing field. "Let's face it, it's been really tough on discoverability and the ability to find content on the carrier deck ? we just weren't able to tap into the masses because they couldn't find the content."
-- Still to come:"I think that we can still make it even better." The iPhone's accelerometer, for instance, "it's good for some types of games, but not great for others ? that's not something you can use in every type of game." What Chaplin would really like to see from the next leapfrog device is a physical d-pad: "There are so many unique things we can do ? there's so much out there that can be discovered ?there's nothing but excitement."

CubicMan Deluxe is a fun and addictive puzzle game. The aim of the game is to roll a cube to stand upright on the destination point. It sounds simple but the 80 unique puzzles will give you hours and hours of challenge and good fun!
CubicMan was first released for the Jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch on ModMyiFone's repository and the response was overwhelming! We made lots of improvements to the game and brought it over to the official SDK. We are very excited to see it finally available on Apple App Store today.

Nearly five million users have already played the web app version of Bejeweled since its debut last summer, and hundreds of millions more have played the PC, online and console versions. Consumers have enjoyed more than six billion hours of the Bejeweled franchise across more than a dozen platforms from iPods to seatbacks on leading airlines.
“With the launch of Bejeweled 2 for iPhone, PopCap further strengthens its relationship with Apple to support the world’s most popular handheld devices,” noted Andrew Stein, director of mobile platforms at PopCap. “We’ve developed a winning strategy of taking our most popular, top-selling titles and optimizing them specifically to take advantage of a range of next-generation mobile devices like the iPhone. In launching PopCap’s first iPhone-native game, we continue to deliver the best mobile gaming content on any platform.”
With Bejeweled 2 for iPhone, PopCap is bringing all the addictive gameplay of the original in an iPhone-native version that has been fully optimized and enhanced to support iPhone 2.0 software and iPhone 3G. The game will be available for just $9.99 from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/
Tuned specifically for the iPhone, Bejeweled 2 offers touch screen support with intelligence to determine which gem a player meant to touch (select), even when the player hasn’t used precise finger strokes to “hit” the second gem perfectly. Additionally, the game will use the accelerometer to detect orientation and automatically shift between vertical and landscape modes depending on how the user is holding the device.
PopCap’s leadership role in mobile gaming is underscored by its growing line-up of popular titles for the handheld market, including Chuzzle™ Mobile, Bookworm™ Mobile and the upcoming Peggle™ Mobile - the first mobile games that PopCap developed and is distributing directly. Bejeweled and Zuma™, two of PopCap’s most popular games, have also been runaway successes on game-capable iPods since their introduction on those devices last year. Peggle, introduced for iPod in late 2007, has also enjoyed critical and commercial success, and is the highest-rated game for iPod based on customer rankings at iTunes.com.
