Sorry it took so long to get this out, but I hope you enjoy my in-depth review on Real Racing. It’s a really great game, right up there with Galcon in my opinion. Although it really is great, you may want to hold up and wait for a price decrease, it’s up to you.

This is part two in my short video series going over some of the new features in iPhone OS 3.0. I apologize for how late this is, as certainly by now anyone who has 3.0 will know this, but I knew I had to finish it up and not just have a part one hanging around.

I do recommend that you upgrade to 3.0 regardless of what device you have or whether you want to jailbreak or not. Feel free to check out my videos, where I have tutorials showing how to both upgrade to 3.0 as well as jailbreak it.

This is a video on a couple of places where you can pick up some very nice deals on various iTouch and iPhone cases, as well as various accessories such as headphones and screen protectors. Generally the stuff you will find on Amazon is name brand stuff at nice discounts, and on DealExtreme you will find much cheaper, lower quality stuff. Don’t let that necessarily deter you, though. For only a few dollars you can snag some decent stuff, so if you’re willing to take a risk you might be surprised.

And the knockoff iTouch is awesome. You know it.
