Mahjong Solitaire v0.8 (iPhone Game)

This is an implementation of Mahjong solitaire for the iPod touch and iPhone. The aim of the game is to pick matching tiles, removing them from the board. You win when there are no tiles left. You lose when it is impossible to pick up any more tiles. If the application crashes, it counts as a draw. You can only pick up tiles that are not overlapped by another, and can be freely moved either left or right. You probably already know how to play. This is released as Free (as in Freedom) software, under the terms of the GNU GPL Version 2. Graphic design by Sarah Gleeson.

SpringDial v0.995 (Beta) (iPhone Application)

SpringDial puts speed dials of your contacts on the SpringBoard of a jailbroken iPhone. The advantage of this is over using the Webclip method is that it is more of a true speed dial. Safari doesn’t have to load, and you are not asked to confirm the call. If you happen to have a photo for the contact in your Address Book (don’t know what Apple is doing for windows users, so this is probably only available for Mac OSX users, but you can edit the contact on the iPhone to add a photo), then it is what is used as the icon for the contact.

1Shoot (iPhone Application)

Shoot a single photo quickly!

How it works:
Tap 1Shoot icon in SpringBoard.
Point to what/who you want to capture.
Stay calm.
Done, no further tap required.

As soon as the accelerometer inside your iPhone thinks is stable enough 1Shoot will capture the picture without any further tapping. The application will close inmediately after the shoot. Your new photo is saved in the Camera Roll photo album.

Not very useful, unless
* You care taking the photo as fast as possible
* You like self portraits
* You have kids or pets (not comparison intended)
