Planet iPhones —
Touchgrind 101208    The multi-touch interface of the iPhone has been taken advantage of by many game developers; up there with the best is Illusion Labs  and their finger-boarding game, Touchgrind .

iLounge | All Things iPod, iPhone, iTunes and beyond —
This week’s edition of iPhone Gems is one of the most diverse in recent memory.

Unusually, we’re also calling out Capcom’s Mega Man II for special scorn this week, as it’s one of the very worst iPhone ports of an excellent classic console game we’ve ever seen from a major developer—enough that we ...
