We were tired of Apple's silence about the problems with the App Store, so I decided to write a letter from Steve Jobs.

Whether you're hiking, biking, surfing, skiing, birding, skywatching or doing basically anything outdoors - it's on our Applist.

So you're going out for a night of drinking. Good news, you have an iPhone! You can track just how drunk you are with a BAC calculator. But Is DrinkTracker the app to go with?

Our definitive Push Notification Applist has become a monster of a list with well over 50 apps on it and more being added almost every day. To help manage the insanity we've launched a separate Twitter Push Applist with all the Twitter apps featuring Push Notifications.

It's time to hear from Steve Jobs himself about Apple's policies for rejection and whether the iPhone should be an open platform.

Chillingo game should be submitted to Apple within a few weeks.

Adaptunes, TuneWiki and more make our newest Applist for apps that help you make the most of the iPod in your iPhone and your iTouch. We'll be on the lookout for more great apps as they debut to add to the list, but if you know of any good ones that aren't on the list now, let us know in the comments.

Google developed a native app but didn't release it at Apple's request because people would confuse it with Maps.

We did our best and formed a nomination committee. I was on that committee. But there were still apps we missed. So let us have it. Tell us the biggest app travesty of the first-ever AppAwards.

If you're missing any Push Notifications, a simple fix may be all it takes to solve the problem.

I've kept my eyes on all the new apps featuring Push Notifications and this week I'll tell you about the ones I think are worth downloading. But first, I want to share with you an app disorder I've developed.

iTwitter appears out of nowhere and upends the iPhone Twitter community by beating every other Twitter client to deliver the first true Push Notification tweets - for free. Unfortunately, the developer, based in China, is barred from using Twitter because the Chinese government has it blocked.

There's something for everyone when it comes to porting classic board games to the iPhone.

iTwitter shakes up the Twitter app landscape by beating out Twittelator, Tweetie, Twitterrific, Tweetdeck, Twitterfon and all the other major iPhone Twitter clients to become the first to deliver Push Notifications from a dedicated client. There is a catch though.

Add taxis to the list of things you'll never use the same way again now that you have an iPhone (sorry iPod Touch users).

Have you ever missed one of those extra scenes after the credits when you're going out to the movies? Have you ever wasted time hoping the movie would have a scene and it didn't? Never again.

Apparently Apple has a new trick up its sleeve that may block jailbreakers. Whenever you restore your iPhone, which typically happens when you jailbreak an iPhone, iTunes now obtains unique signatures for your device from Apple's servers.

SportsTap beats out ESPN ScoreCenter to bring Push Notifications for game updates. The app joins MLB At Bat 2009 to keep fans informed about games with as much or little detail as they desire.

As Apple airs a new set of ads to highlight the features of iPhone 3GS, Microsoft has one heck of a viral campaign to promote Internet Explorer 8.

The 88 recorded "Love Is The Thing" using an iPhone and the $9.99 FourTrack app. The song is now available in the iTunes Music Store.
