NES.app lets you play Nintendo games on your iPhone. It is a fully functional, feature-rich Nintendo emulator.
NES.app uses an emulator core we call NESCore, which we’ve forked from pNESx and InfoNES and re-engineered as a highly-portable and high-performance Nintendo emulator core.
In order to use NES.app, you will need ROM images of Nintendo games. ROM images are files containing the dumped instruction code from a physical cartridge. In many cases, you are legally entitled to posess a ROM imageof any game that you presently own. ROM images for NES are widely available online, or with the appropriate hardware, you can dump them yourself directly from the cartridge.
NES.app started as a fork of iPhoneNES v0.01, but has been completely rewritten to run very fast, and with many additional features including sound, multitouch support, full-screen, landscape mode, game genie codes, saved games and much more. It now contains zero code from the original iPhoneNES project.
Changes:
[jordan] CPU clocking tweaks
[nervegas] All games appear to work well with clock 339 now, new default
[nervegas] Removed palette B (vivid), all shift left

Dallas Brown, coder of Mobile RSS is giving us more information about the upcomming Mobile RSS release:
For those of you Mobile RSS fans out there, I just wanted to let you know that even though things have been quiet on the Mobile RSS front, that things are not standing still. In fact it is the complete opposite. Things have been moving so quickly that I haven’t had the time to post a lot.
Mobile RSS v2.0 is underway. v2.0 is set to be the biggest release of Mobile RSS since, wel.l.. ever!
With version 2.0, Mobile RSS will go from a decent mobile RSS client, to a full fledge desktop like RSS reader in your pocket!
I am extremely excited about this release. Unfortunately I do not have a timeline for the release yet. Just know that I am moving as fast as I can.
My current GUESS, and trust me it is only a guess, is it should be ready in 2 weeks. Do not even try to hold me to that date though.
I will try and give you all some sneak peaks in the next little while, so be looking for that.

Here is a small but nice article, which you should read before considering any update to your iPhone with the recent v1.1.1 Firmware.
In a probably vain attempt to clarify and stop iPhone slaughterings, as well as repetitive questions, here’s the facts about updating to 1.1.1. as of today, 28th September 2007.
1) If you have unlocked your phone at all, regardless of whether it’s to use another sim / carrier or even just for fun and you’re still using the AT&T sim, DO NOT UPDATE to 1.1.1 unless you want to render your phone useless. It will not work afterwards as things stand at the moment.
2) If you haven’t unlocked your phone and you haven’t jailbroken it and want to update to 1.1.1, you will not be able to jailbreak it afterwards as things stand. Until someone does Jailbreak 1.1.1, this will not change.
3) If you are still using Firmware 1.0.2, you can still synch with iTunes. If iTunes suggests you update your iPhone, just say no. In Preferences, you can turn off the setting to look for updates automatically so iTunes won’t even bother asking.
4) Your 1.0.2 Phone will not just brick itself. Apple can’t beam an auto bricker to your phone….You have to help them by trying to update to 1.1.1 after you’ve hacked it. Apple warned you, there’s countless tales of woe on these forums that should serve as a warning….JUST DON”T DO IT!!!
5) If you haven’t hacked your phone in anyway whatsoever and you want a cute Starbucks logo to appear everytime you’re near one (as well as the other updates) then you should be fine, as long as you’re aware of point 2.

Pushr is a native iPhone application that will take the images in your Camera Roll album (in other words, pictures that you’ve taken using the built-in Camera application) and upload them directly from your iPhone to your Flickr account.
It doesn’t recompress the images, it doesn’t strip the EXIF data, and it doesn’t do any fancy mangling.
Pushr 0.6 includes the following features:
Showing a list of the photos that will be pushed
Allowing photos to be removed from the list
Providing better feedback about the photo currently being uploaded
Warning the user when they’re connected via EDGE and not WiFi
