Tsumineko Mew Mew Tower
This charming game with a hand-drawn look is from B3 United (a Japanese iPhone developer) and is very simple for anyone to play. The Jenga-like stacking of as many cats as possible is made more realistic as you lean your iPhone to keep the tower from falling over (I've gotten to 3 meters, 15 cats so far). This .99 game is a really good example of creativity and simplicity in game design ;)

Ustream.tv Viewing App *
Get your puppy cam kicks, mobile style. This free app came out just in time for the Inauguration; you can view live video in portrait or landscape mode. In the app you'll also see the streams' chat threads, and if you login you can participate too. Video frame rate (of puppies, so far) looks pretty good! If anyone viewed the inauguration using the app, how well did it work? Caveat: Requires WiFi, iPod Touch compatibility questionable...

* Over the holidays I mentioned hopes of seeing Hulu on the iPhone in 2009. As you can see with Ustream, the tech exists - but other business constraints might prevent it from happening. I still have my fingers crossed!

Rock Skipper
As long as you're careful not to throw your iPhone across the room, this .99 game is also a fun demo of the iPhone's accelerometer, which is used to create the physics of throwing a rock for the maximum number of water skips. The users who are giving this a top rating must be more forgiving than me - I wish the 3d hand and animation looked a little better, along with the hard to read typography. Still, pretty cool for the price of a cookie!
