Quite frankly, I’m actually quite surprised I haven’t seen any app like this one out on the App Store yet.

Have you ever been tempted to just take your iPhone and chuck it? Maybe even into a lake? Now there’s an app for that!

It’s called Skipping Stones. Not the most original name on the planet, but it gets the point across effectively; this app is all about letting you throw stones out into a lake and see how many times that stone will skip.

The game features 3 possible landscapes, 3 play modes (various difficulties?) and the ability to compete online via OpenFeint. Just submitted to Apple yesterday, it should be available soon for $.99.

Check out the trailer on this Facebook page.

And also enjoy some screenshots.

Frankly, this certainly won’t be the first horoscope app on the market and it definitely won’t be the last. But what caught my eye was the title. And in a sea of 90,000 apps in the App Store, the catchier the better.

Cute Horoscope just got submitted for approval.

Instead of saying any more about how cute an app really is, I’ll let the app’s website do the rest of the talking.

Everyone likes to be told a nice story but this app goes beyond that. It fetches predictions written by professional astrologers. You’ll learn everyday what planet affects you as well as how and why.

Unlike other horoscope apps this one gets its predictions all at once both for today and tomorrow and you can access them at anytime even without a connection. You only need access to a connection once a day.

If you like this app though and wish to show your support do not hesitate to get the paid version (which is the same without any ads).

A few months back I wrote about Grooveshark prepping an iPhone app, and we went a long time without hearing any updates. Finally we have heard the pleasant news that Grooveshark’s iPhone app has been submitted to the App Store.

Now, this doesn’t mean that Apple will actually approve the app. There are a couple roadblocks in the way, especially given Apple’s history of rejecting similar apps for whatever reasons it decides to reject them. First Grooveshark is on shady legal ground until they can reach a licensing deal with the record companies, and also Apple could reject it due to having a negative effect on iTunes revenue.

So we wait with our breath held and our fingers crossed to see if it will show up. Perhaps if it doesn’t get accepted, Grooveshark could always go the path of Google Voice and offer it on Cydia. And it doesn’t stop there; Grooveshark also has plans to put the app out on other mobile platforms, as it well should.

If accepted Grooveshark would be available for a monthly subscription fee. Given the service’s immensely large selection of available on-demand music I imagine this will be a very attractive offer for music lovers with iPhones.

The concept behind Power On is so simple I wonder why I didn’t think of it myself. It allows you to remotely turn on or wake up any of the computers in your network.

How could this be of any benefit? With Power On you can wake your sleeping Mac and then play iTunes music using Apple’s Remote App, all without leaving your couch.

Here’s a screenshot:

Setup will be quite easy. To learn more about the process, visit PowerOn’s website.

I suspect that the computers can only be woken up if your iPhone is in the network as well, meaning you’d have to be within the same WiFi zone and it would not work on 3G. I will keep you updated if I find out differently, however.

My other suggestion for future updates is to add an option to Power Off (or put to sleep) these same devices once you’re done using them.

Power On is still a great idea and I hope it can be implemented flawlessly. It was submitted to the App Store on July 16, so we should be seeing it in less than 8 days.

The app is actually now available in iTunes for download, and you can get it here.

PowerOn’s Twitter Account

Submitted to Apple for approval today, Birdbrain gives you an overview of your friend and follower counts and shows changes to these counts over the last month (on a daily and weekly basis). It will also handle multiple Twitter accounts.

Tap on a user to load more information, to follow/unfollow, view each person’s timeline or even block them. Birdbrain allows easy management, which can come in handy when you have a large account that requires frequent attention.

It’s an interesting idea and I’m eager to check it out. No word on pricing yet, but I’m not sure if I’d personally be willing to pay much more than a buck or two for it. Follow the Birdbrain Twitter account to get all the latest updates and find out when the app will hit the App Store.

Check out all the screenshots at the Birdbrain site.

Birdbrain is now available on the App Store for $1.99. Get to it from here.

How it works: Upload a photo on your iPhone and try on true-to-life makeup, including eye shadow, mascara, lipstick, blusher, and more. Email your new makeover or publish it to Facebook or Twitter.

For more information on the process, visit aBeauty’s website and follow them on Twitter.

Comic Studio, created by ZenPress, has been submitted for approval in the App Store, so we imagine it will show up in around a week and half, if not earlier.

It will be a paid app, but keep an eye out on promos to get the app for free, most likely which will show up at ZenPress’s site.

Here are some examples of the work.

Months in the making, DataViz finally broke the news that its biggest product, Documents to Go, has been submitted to the App Store. This means we should expect to see the document-editing application available “very soon”; in other words, within the next week if everything goes well.

But let’s not get too excited until it actually makes its way out. No word on pricing yet, so keep your eyes peeled.

UPDATE: Documents 2 Go is now available in the App Store. Check out below to find more information (and buy it, if you’re interested).

$4.99 version:

$9.99 version:

Since the game has been submitted within the last couple days, it means we should be expecting to see it out and downloadable sometime near the end of this week. Typically the process takes from 4-10 days before it’s approved.

The Terminator was made by Big Head games and Dark Horse comics, and will be available on sale for 99 cents for the first 72 hours of release before it goes up in price.

You will be able to choose Story Mode to go through all the levels, or Quick Play mode which sounds as though it will just let you go as long as you can until you die. Terminator should also have an update coming out a while after the app is officially approved, which will offer extra levels.

Now for the action. Check out this video of The Terminator.

UPDATE: Terminator Salvation is now available on the App Store. Check out this link below to download it via iTunes.

What is a Slingbox, you ask? Slingboxes enable you to view your home’s TV programming remotely from your computer or mobile device (in this case, watch your favorite channels on your iPhone even when you’re on the road). This is already available on Windows Mobile devices as well as Blackberrys and Symbian OS.

Check out what Sling is all about at their home website.
