Enigmo (iTunes link) $4.99
The ADA-winning game had a price drop from its $9.99 debut, as if you had an excuse good enough not to download it now. Enigmo basically is a port from the amazing Mac physics puzzle game, which may actually play better on the iPhone because of the intuitive touch controls the platform offers. Also available from Pangea are many other fantastic games available at low prices, so check them out.

Texas Hold’em (iTunes link) $4.99
This game is a heavy download at around 129MB, but once you play it you’ll notice why: it has videos of real people as your card-playing opponents. Also, this game features online gameplay, so Apple definitely came up with a great game for the App Store’s launch date.

Trism (iTunes link) $2.99
The developer made a lot of money with this game, and no wonder why: it’s fantastic. While it may be a Bejeweled-esque game, it makes use of the iPhone’s accelerometer for some clever puzzle solving.

Toy Bot Diaries (iTunes link) $3.99
This one is a fun platformer game. Here, you guide the little robot hero through the levels as you move him by tilting the screen, and use his grappling hook by using the touchscreen. If you’re eager to try it out before you buy it, Toy Bot Diaries Free is basically a demo version of the game that anyone can download.

MotionX Poker (iTunes link) $0.99
Perhaps the most addictive game — poker being played with realistic-looking dice that you roll by shaking your iPhone. While the computer may look as if it’s cheating at times as it comes with a fantastic hand at the last minute to beat yours, I cannot stress out how addictive it is. Compulsive gamblers: beware!

Bonus! Five great free iPhone games.
Tap Tap Revenge (iTunes link) – Dance Dance Revolution for your fingers.
Dactyl (iTunes link) – Game where your reflexes will be your best weapon in defusing bombs.
Sudoku Free (iTunes link) – Free Sudoku, need I say more?
Aurora Feint The Beginning (iTunes link) – An artistic puzzle game with RPG-like game elements.
Cube Runner (iTunes link) – Use motion to steer away from the incoming cubes.

After much anticipation by the development community, Apple has finally revealed its plans on how they’re going to promote the design of applications within their successful mobile devices. Some were pleased at what was outlined, but certainly others were disappointed with the limitations Apple imposed. Here’s a general overlook of the strongest points covered today.

The SDK. It will be a free download, now available via Apple’s website, but will require an Intel Mac running Leopard. Within the SDK, you’ll have access to anything you may need to make an application work within Apple’s devices, as well as a simulator to test the apps within the Mac. Some impressive demos were already shown — more on that below.

The App Store. Apple will be releasing a new application in the 2.0 update (scheduled for a June release) for accessing the app store. While the SDK may be free, Apple will charge $99 for publishing your apps, and keep a 30% of profits for the maintenance of the store. Also, developers will be required to do as requested with an electronic certificate in order to protect the platform of malware. And, of course, there will be no apps of some kind allowed, such as SIM unlockers and ones that display pornographic content. But, apparently, free software will remain free all the way.

Game demos. The iPhone and iPod touch apparently make great gaming platforms, as EA demoed a mobile version of their upcoming PC/Mac game, Spore. Just as well, another demo that stole the show was Sega’s adaptation of their successful series, Super Monkey Ball. A lot of emphasis was placed under the achievement of coding these demos in just two weeks.

AIM. The first official IM client was demoed, also.

If you want to read a more in-depth transcript of what happened at the press conference, Engadget’s live blogging session is a great place to start. Now the question is, are you interested in developing apps for the iPhone and iPod touch?
