Rumors that AT&T’s iPhone tethering plans have stated that they will cost anywhere from $30-$50, but now rumors are stating that it may cost as little as just $10 per month.  Data plans for the iPhone alone cost $30. We managed to get a good hands-on with the new Wilson Electronics' iBooster for the iPhone. His system charges your iPhone while boosting your cellular signal.

If you’re interested in iPhone development training there are now a few classes that you can take to get a good head start. Qantm College has launched a game development course and Edison Labs University has started a 4-day course in software development for iPhone. Those of you who remember Bubble Bobble will find Bubble Town for the iPhone and iPod Touch very familiar.

More rumors are coming about with the new iPhone Nano. Apparently someone out there is dying to have this device become a reality. Coolgorilla has launched a new talking phrasebook with language support for French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. Apple has now given the go ahead for 3rd party browsers on the iPhone. The browsers that have already made it include Edge Browser, Incognito, WebMate and Shaking Web.

Slacker Mobile has finally brought the Slacker radio application to the App Store for a nice alternative to Pandora radio. If you have not already tried it out we suggest that you pick it up today. When the US Airways flight went down this week in the Hudson River one iPhone owner "Twitted" a photo from his iPhone earning the name “citizen journalist.”  Skype is also creating their mobile application just for the iPhone. The reason it is still being worked on is because the engineers are trying to cut the amount of power this application consumes.

Cisco makes on-the-go web conference calling possible for businessmen who cannot be in the office. The best part is the application is available for free with no subscription costs. iFlyz is a very interesting mobile version of a car mount that can be placed virtually anywhere without a huge phone cradle. This makes it perfect for bus rides and plane flights when you are watching a movie on your iPhone.

Sometimes watching videos or movies on your iPhone or iPod Touch can be tedious, especially when you’re sitting at home, on a plane or riding the bus. Awkward neck positions and tiring hands tend to take away from the overall experience of watching a film.

Now thanks to the iFlyz you can rest easy with your media player in a fixed position wherever you are. The device actually looks like a portable hands off car mount with a very small patented suction cup rather than a huge rack to hold the device.  The bottom of the rig has a clamp that can attach to a desk, counter, coffee table, you name it. Bend and shape it to just the right position so you wont have to be hunched over to view your media.

Though this mount doesn’t appear to be compatible with devices that have a rough texture, it does claim to be iPod friendly so smooth surfaces should be no problem. Best part is this will only cost you $30 when car mounts cast a great deal extra.

It appears that Apple has finally caved in a bit to their treatment, and will be allowing a handful of 3rd party ‘browsers’,  to set sail in the App Store starting this week.  The fab four include:

Squeaky - a browser that leaves behind no trace of your presence.  It’s history, cache, and bookmark free.

WebMate - Let’s you view sites on different tabs, so you can queue up multiple sites and switch back and forth as you view them independently.

Quick Surf - Takes out the non-sense and gives you a basic page for faster viewing.  (Gets you around waiting for photos to load up)

Edge Browser - Lets you view pages with out taking up the precious space where the address bar is normally planted.
Such as Safari, these apps are based on WebKit, and rather than being full on alternative browsers, they are more like add ons or extensions.  In conclusion it seems that there is little hope for iPhone versions of Firefox, or Opera to be approved.
