InstantAction are actively working on the next Galcon project to enable iPhone gamers to take on PC users who play the popular strategy game. Developed by Phil Hassey and originally appeared on desktops version before finally making its way to the iTunes App Store last year.

“Galcon” is a popular planet capturing strategy game already on the iPhone that already includes some robust multiplayer, including Internet-based play with other iPhone users, but like “Scrabble,” it requires access to a Wi-Fi point.

With “Galcon” now on the PC, however, one of those restrictions will be lifting. The InstantAction guys told me they’re actively working to allow InstantAction “Galcon” players to go head-to-head with “Galcon” iPhone users in a future update.

The Galcon iPhone version costs only $4.99 --instead of $9.99 that it previously used to cost-- through the AppStore.

The passPORT Home Dock passes through audio, video, and data functionality to the iPod docks, making it fully compatible with the older iPod docking stations. Keep in mind this convertor is not a stand-alone dock and does not add audio/video functions by itself.

According to the 's Scoschesite, the passPORT is specifically designed to fix the charging error associated with several iPod docking stations.
