Who needs a real iPhone when you can get an AIR iPhone?
For those of you out there who haven't been lucky enough to get your hands on a new and coveted iPhone 3G, let alone the original iPhone, there's always the AIR iPhone. We're not sure whether to be amused or horrified by this Adobe AIR app but, either way, we had to download it to see what it has to offer. The answer is sadly, not much. At the end of the day, it's simply a desktop app for Ribbit, which we mentioned earlier this year. The AIR iPhone's only connection to Apple is the opportunistic use of the iPhone's interface - and we're not sure how long Apple's legal team is going to let this one slide. As for the app itself, according to its developer, you can make and receive calls, check your voicemail, add contacts and send voice messages, as long as you have an account on Ribbit. We weren't able to actually test it out as Ribbit hasn't opened its doors to the public just yet.
You can also rotate the AIR iPhone at a 90 degree angle and mess around with a few buttons that all lead you to dead-ends, so until Ribbit launches it service, the AIR iPhone is just AIR iCandy.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I built the app at first to play with Adobe Air and then Ribbit wanted me to integrate some of the functionality. So yeah this project has been around for the last year or so and I don't have to much functionality working yet as this is just a fun little side project. You can see some more of the functionality of the AIR iPhone in this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUFI7FEMJQQ
