Macs may not play games, but the iPhone does.

Is an iPhone refresh imminent?

CNet is of the opinion that it is…and I concur. I’ve been advising anyone who asks me to wait until June - which is the most likely release date given the launch of the AppStore and v2 firmware.

The most likely plan of attack is that Apple is getting rid of stock (witness the ATT $250 refurb special of a …

Review: Caterpillar for iPhone

Caterpillar is a new iPhone program from some of the guys at Unsanity (the same group that brought you such apps as FruitMenu, ShapeShifter, APE and LabelsX). The new company is RipDev, out of Russia.

Caterpillar adds numerous features to your iPhone - be sure to see the gallery below this feature review:
FaceLift is a major new feature that allows you to use Summerboard themes without having Summerboard actually installed, which saves some memory and even adds some features to those themes - see this page for more info. You can see some screenshots of this below.

uCalendar, which puts a calendar/event list on your iPhones ‘Locked’ screen - basically allowing you to see your agenda with a single click of the home button. Those of us who have used Palm or Windows Mobile devices can certainly appreciate having this little feature back.

Uninstall allows you to remove any program that has been added to your iPhone as if it were a web shortcut - meaning that if you hold down the icon until it wiggles, you will see a black ‘delete’ icon, which will remove it from your system just as if you had used the Installer.app program to remove it. Very, very convenient and cool.

System Font let’s you change the font used by everything from your Dock icons to system menus. While some items don’t display properly using specific fonts, most do and it certainly adds a little more personality to your iPhone.

Reminder will do just that - remind you via repeating vibrations or sounds when you have received a message and not yet viewed it. You can also specify the sound set to use and use pre-defined profiles (see the screenshots below).

Smart Dialer adds yet another feature many switchers will be quite familiar with. When in the iPhone dialer, you can hold down the # key and as you type a number (letter), a popup list of contacts whose information matches is displayed. So much better than constant scrolling…

ScreenShotter turns on the hidden iPhone API call that let’s you take a high quality screenshot of the iPhone by holding down the ‘home’ button while toggling the ‘mute’ switch. The screenshots below were done using this method.

Privacy, last but not least, gives you the option to turn off that annoying SMS preview that always interrupts me when I am I the middle of something else, or shows a message from my friend Andy which usually contains some sort of graphic and vaguely unsettling homo-eroticism. I like this new option.

(Review and screenshots after the jump…)
