If you spend time with app community “old timers” you may hear stories about the iPhone gold rush, a time when anyone with an iPhone and a dream could make a million dollars. In fact, some people might tell you, back in the gold rush days you didn’t even need to know how to program to make money with iPhone apps. Unfortunately, as many people learned, the reality of getting rich quick with apps was rarely as simply as it sounded.

While the initial App Store Gold Rush may be over, there’s no denying that there is money to made with the right apps. And, in some cases, you still don’t need to know how to program a single line of code. Take, for example, this list of money-making apps. These apps turn the tables on how to make money in the App Store. Instead of you paying for the app, how about letting the app pay you! If your philosophy is “show me the money,” read through this brief i-Ch-Ching to cash in with iPhone apps.

Earlier this week we talked about 3DBoard, which is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that adds a 3D effect to your iPhone’s Home screen. DeepEnd works in a similar way, altering your wallpaper’s orientation based on movement.

DeepEnd is from a staple in the jailbreak app community, and one of our favorite developers, Ryan Petrich — the same guy behind ActionMenu.

Want to see how DeepEnd works in action? Check out our video inside as we explore this nifty looking jailbreak tweak…

How many times have you been embarrassed over the years when you’ve been in a meeting, and your phone starts screaming at the top of its lungs that someone wants to talk to you?

Hey, I’ve been there; no doubt you’ve been there too. It gets even worse when you start fumbling with the phone while struggling to find a way to shut it up, making everyone aware that you’re the culprit.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just shake your phone and it would shut its mouth? That’s the premise behind Polite Silencer. Check out the full video walkthrough inside…

AbbleDabble is Words With Friends with a twist. To put it bluntly, if you are a fan of Words With Friends, or Scrabble for that matter, you will be entering very familiar territory.

The twist in AbbleDabble is that the game types (there are a few of them) range from slightly different than the traditional game of Scrabble to very different. The most common game found, in my play testing, was a version that moved the bonus squares around randomly after every turn. Maybe I’m too much of a traditionalist, but I generally prefer the strategy that comes with a normal Scrabble game than the crazy randomness of an AbbleDabble word-fest. The variances in the gameplay seem to be a hit though with many gamers though, so it’s hard for me to criticize the game for having more game options. Variety is the spice of life, or so they say.

What I can say definitively is that the interface of AbbleDabble definitely falls below the quality of both EA’s Scrabble and Words With Friends. It’s not bad per se, but it just doesn’t have that silky smooth polish of the competition. My least favorite thing about the interface, by far, is the leaderboard, which indirectly ties to its online gaming woes. When you start the game, you have to sign up for Coresoft’s own independent game server. With a great option like GameCenter available, why make people re-add all their friends to another game server? I’d love to just pop in and invite some friends that are already in the system, but instead I have to send them invites. Yuck.

The leaderboard itself, in theory, could be great. At the end of each match you get a point score and some stats that could make for some great gameplay matching. “Could” is the important word though, as you are limited to only viewing people in the top 100, and can only see them as name only. It would be fantastic if you could click on a user, view their stats, and instantly invite them all on one screen, but you can’t. The leaderboard has a ton of game type options to flick through, but I really just want to use the leaderboard to scout the next player I want to play.

As far as the game interface goes, it’s like Words With Friends on crack. Along with the typical features of a Scrabble type game, you get a button for a dictionary (which lists all the acceptable two letter words), a stat button that tells you what tiles are left and what both players have played, a shuffle button, a trade button, a chat feature, whew. Some people will be turned off the the mass of buttons, but people like me greatly appreciate the fact that I have something to do with my time between turns.

In the end, Scrabble/Words With Friends fans who are looking for something a bit different will really love the variety of the Abble Dabble game boards, but traditionalists would do better to stay still. I know, it’s very possible to play a fairly normal game of Scrabble in AbbleDabble, but I genuinely like the interfaces of the competition more than this offering from Coresoft.

GangofDodge –
Time to dodge a few bullets and hope you can stay alive. You will have to be fast though, as this is some frantic tilt-based action. There are three modes to play, with one taking a page right from Fat Princess. That’s right, you dodge bullets and eat cake, all while turning into a blimpified princess. This maybe worth playing just to see how well fat royalty can last against a barrage of bullets.
