Mobile Apple Me

One of the games that I never really found interesting was marbles. I know some people like the game; it just doesn't make sense to me. If you are a marble aficionado, a new game app for the iPhone is now available for you.

The app is called Play Marbles and you can even put your face or other images onto the marble. The developer promises that the game is simply to learn and play. While the game is simple, it promises to be challenging as well.

Regular updates to the game will be made available and new play modes and custom features will keep the game fresh. The marble design phase is intended to be robust and the developer is running a contest for the most interesting marbles to be included in the game. The app is available now for $1.99 on the App Store.

With the iPhone 3GS hitting the market last month the prices on the iPhone 3G tumbled to $99 for a brand new device with a new 2-year contract. Before the 3GS hit the market you could only get a refurb phone for $99.

Now that a brand new 3G sells for $99 AT&T has cut the prices on its refurb fleet to woo customers willing to take a chance on a refurb. The iPhone 3G refurb now sells for $49 online with a new two-year contract. That is a steal if you can live without the 3GS.

If 8GB at $49.99 isn’t enough storage for you, the refurb 16GB iPhone 3G can be had for $99 online. That is a cheap price, and for some the $149 saved compared to the iPhone 3GS will seal the deal. For others, the new sexy 3GS is well worth the extra green.
