What can you win? ( no particular order )

Pushme.to iPhone and iTouch app (iTunes link)

Pushme.to is the free instant messaging service from web to iPhone/iPod Touch and between registered users.Now you can receive free instant messages from anyone, delivered like an sms, even if they don’t have an iPhone.You can also use Pushme.to to send free instant messages to your friends with iPhones, without any per message or international charges.

It takes seconds to send a  free message to an iPhone  or iPod Touch:

  • directly from the address book of your iPhone if you have the application
  • typing your message at http://pushme.to/nickname. No registration is  required for sending and it’s free.

Benefits

  • No charges per message, international or not
  • Super fast sending and instant delivery (on the screen, like an sms)
  • No need to reveal your phone number or email
  • Read and write messages online using your computer or iPhone/iPod Touch

Dice Pile iPhone and iTouch Game (iTunes link )


MistleYo! iPhone and iTouch app (iTunes link)

So the holidays are right around the corner, and nothing says Christmas party like some sweet smooches under the mistletoe. But what to do If you show up to that holiday party, work function, random place, and you see someone, who you definetly want to get some smooches from? And there’s no mistletoe in site? Just fire up your trusty iPhone/iPod touch and the mistleYo! App, give it a shake and hold over your head and get those smooches you need. Hubba hubba.

PayUpSucker! iPhone and iTouch app ( iTunes link )

Owe somebody big? Like I mean really big. They owe you something big? And I don’t mean money…I mean something big like a favor, or a poke in the ribs, or maybe just a hug, or…..maybe money.Then this is all you need to remind them. You can quickly make an I.O.U or an U.O.Me and show it to them or save it an send it as an e-mail MMS or post it on your social network site. The note will be in your camera roll to do with as you please

LogMeIn Ignition iPhone and iTouch app (iTunes link )

QuickWidgets Cydia app

This app is actually free, but to get the real cool widgets you will need to buy some apps like qSMS Secure, qBirthday and qCalendar. That is what you will actually win.

biteSMS Cydia app + biteSMS credits

biteSMS is the best alternative to the built-in messaging app on your iPhone.biteSMS comes with lots of extra features like smileys, Quick Reply, Quick Compose/Quick Call, Privacy, a character/SMS counter and much more!

You can use biteSMS as a replacement to the built-in Messaging application, and send messages via your mobile carrier as you normally do. Or, if your mobile carrier charges a lot for sending SMS messages (say texting to overseas), you can buy credits and send them via the biteSMS network instead, which can be much cheaper.

OverBoard Cydia app

Multifl0w RockApp app *New


My New iPhone: 52 Simple Projects to Get You Started (Paperback) (our review)

This is a massive 500 pages book perfect for people who just bought their iPhone or iTouch. Wallace Wang’s ( author ) approach to the book is much more practical because by the end of each project you learn something about your iPhone and how to actually use it. At the end of each section the author suggests related iPhone apps from the App Store that can extend your iPhone’s functionality even further. This way you’ll get introduced to the wonderful world of the appstore as well. ( NO Jailbreking )
