Boxcar is a nearly-flawless notification app for Facebook, email, and Twitter, and I love. What else is there to say?

Facebook 3.0 Hits App Store

Facebook 3.0 has finally been approved and is in the app store, much to the delight of Joe Hewitt, the Facebook engineer who submitted the update to apple. I won’t go into his issues with the app store, but needless to say, he’s not a fan of the review process. Regardless, after a solid two week wait, Facebook 3.0 is here, and it’s quite nice.

It has quite a few small but worthwhile fixes, but the major thing, at least to me, is the inclusion of video from the iPhone 3GS. It’s a pretty logical inclusion to me, but I’m sure AT&T is peeing themselves due to what I’m sure will be ridiculous bandwidth usage.

If you don’t have it yet, go ahead and download the Facebook app from the app store. It claims that it is version 2.5… but it lies… you’ll get a shiny new copy of 3.0. Apparently you just can’t handle the truth.

An App to Help Make the World a Better Place, DoGood

I think I’ve found my new favorite app.

DoGood from Mobil33t is a simple little app, well designed, and single purpose. DoGood presents you with a single task every day, a task that does a little bit of good for yourself or someone else.

Once you complete the task you can post a comment about what you did or the task itself. You can also read what other people have posted. Also available is an archive of previous task comments. Once you do the daily task you can post it to Twitter or Facebook via Safari Mobile.

See, I told you it was simple.

The app was developed by 3 Univerisity of Michigan students and is the first project of the company they started to develop iPhone apps, Mobil33t.

The app is free, so why not download it and do a little good?

Docked on a nightstand or desk, your iPhone makes for the perfect digital photo frame. DreamStream greatly enhances viewable photo sources by accessing pictures from MobileMe, Facebook albums and Flickr tags among others. Even your friends’ photos aren’t safe!

I thought that the notion of a Mafia app with a cutesy pet theme sounded pretty dull—until I tried it. Epic Pet Wars is a quick, free, mindless MMO that’ll bring out the animal abuser in all of us.

Scrabble’s most recent update—the full-fledged integration of Facebook Connect—adds some competition to what was already a great word game. While the port does have plenty of flaws, it’s still the same amazing game of strategy, luck, and knowledge that’s been an incredible success for decades.

With Flixster you can watch movie trailers, view listings for your favorite theaters or check DVD release dates. Now you can also rate movies and share information with friends through Facebook. And they say there’s no such thing as free popcorn.

With Jetset: A Game For Airports, the author’s intention was to create a game that air travelers could pick up and play while waiting at the airport for their flights. It makes good on its intentions by using location services that allow you to unlock location specific souvenirs, which can then be shared with friends via Facebook. The game definitely has broader appeal than just for travelers though, with fast paced game play that is humorous and interesting.

Facebook for iPhone is the child prodigy of it’s web based social networking parents.

Facebook iPhone OS App has 1 Million+ Users

Facebook reported today at the Mobile Web Wars that their Facebook iPhone OS application has 1 million users.  This is totally amazing, if true.  Considering that it has never been the most popular free application in the store there must be other applications with even more users.

Hopefully Apple will release some statistics soon on sales in the App Store. The first couple days of the App Store being open stats could be gathered in the mobile App Store.  That was cut off by Apple, quickly.
