 Not too sure what Steve Jobs has to say about this, but Playboy has already made available its iPlayboy downloadable interface (and it’s free to boot!) on the Playboy website for the iPhone which will hit the streets tomorrow. What you get includes 12 sexy but non-nude wallpapers for the iPhone, in addition to another dozen photos of Playmates, a single episode of Playboy’s Sirius Satellite Radio show, and a customized video that suits the iPhone’s interface. I guess you had better be careful when picking up second hand iPhones on eBay for your kid(s) in the future as there might still be adult-only content inside.

The iPhone might not be out yet (just…one…more…day), but it is never too early to come out with accessories for it just like how Plantronics has done. The three headsets are known as the Upgrader UHS 302, 206, and 307. All three come with inline microphones with volume control as well as a switch that flips between music and calls. The 302 employs an over-the-ear design with clips, whereas the 306 and 307 use in-ear tips instead. Why not prep yourself for the iPhone onslaught by picking up one of these? After all, Plantronics does have a pretty good record when it comes to audio devices. Pricing details have not yet been determined.

Looks like Westerners are on the losing end again, with the iNavi G1 coming with everything but the kitchen sink. Not only does it look easy on the eye, the iNavi G1 comes with GPS navigation capability, rendering maps in 3D including the buildings, night sky, and mountains in the background. A geomagnetic sensor steps in whenever GPS signals are weak or nonexistent. Entertainment options include a DMB receiver, Picture-in-Picture capability, and support for a wide range of audio and video formats. The lack of a hard drive is compensated with an SD memory card slot and a USB port. Just when you think those are more than enough to keep you occupied (and happy), the iNavi G1 is also equipped with a karaoke machine - truly making this one of its kind in the world.

iRiver has certainly not let down consumers lately in terms of design, and the T60 is yet another example. Featuring a design that reminds me of a Tobleron candy bar, the T60 boasts a mini-joystick knob for music controls as well as a lovely display that is sized just right. Amazingly, the T60 is powered by a single AAA battery in an effort to turn it into a lightweight portable audio player. Unfortunately, the lack of USB power is cause for concern. Data transfer is achieved via a miniUSB port. The iRiver T60 retails for £99.00 - a price that could get you players with more features. Form over function? You decide.

I find it amazing that Apple’s products seem to generate the most hype these past few years, and the iPhone is no exception. On paper, the specifications aren’t anything to shout about, but it is the experience of an iPhone that counts I guess. More news from the grapevine shows that Nintendo will be working with Apple in order to release Nintendo games on the iPhone. How true that is, I’m not sure, but anything goes at this moment. Said rumor also claims that these Nintendo games will be sold via iTunes for $29 a pop. If so, they had better not be rehashes of what you can get on the Wii VC! Perhaps ports of certain DS games would do well, such as Brain Age and Phoenix Wright? What’s your take on this? Fact or just wishful thinking?
