After a premature release and pull earlier this month, Capcom has officially released Resident Evil 4 for iPhone [App Store]. The game takes place six years after the destruction of Raccoon City and chronicles Leon Kennedy's mission to rescue the president's daughter.
It's available now for $7.99 in the App Store. We haven't had a chance to play it yet, but we highly encourage you to check out the video below!
Anyone who's ever attended a major music festival knows how tough it is to keep track of all the bands you want to see. Thankfully for iPhone users, the Lollapalooza guys have come out with their own free app to help you get the most out of this year's lineup. The Lollapalooza app [App Store] lets you see each day's lineup, create a schedule of bands to see, and even look at a map to see where everything is. If you've already signed up on the site, you can sign in on the app and continue tweaking your schedule on the fly. Best of all, the lineup is stored in the app in case service dies during the festival.
I'll likely be headed to Lollapalooza, so let me know in the comments if you plan on going!
Toki Tori is likely one of the most adorable little games you can get for your iPhone today. The game puts you in control of Toki Tori, a newly born "chicken" who's on a quest to save his unborn siblings. Because you can't fly, you're given items and weapons along the way to help you traverse the various worlds and defeat baddies that stand in your way.
If you haven't been sleeping in iPhone class lately, you'll probably remember the turn-by-turn navigation app that AT&T released last month. The app is free, but to make it work you're required to pay another $10 a month on top of your current AT&T bill. Most of you were less than impressed with the idea of giving AT&T more money and didn't bother trying it. If you're still itching to try it out, we've got an awesome trick for you!
Simply call AT&T (611 on your AT&T iPhone), press 0 to speak with an operator, and tell them that you want a free trial to AT&T Navigator. They'll set you up with a free 30 day trial which will auto-renew. To avoid being charged actual real monies, simply call back to cancel before the last day. And that, ladies and gentleman, is awesome!
Here's a nifty, new feature for those folks who are always concerned about their battery life. New for the iPhone 3GS, you can now display a percentage meter right next to the traditional battery life indicator. To enable it, head to Settings>General>Usage and flip the "Battery Percentage" switch on. Now you'll see the percentage of available battery right next to the battery icon!
Personally I don't leave this on because it makes me think the battery is draining faster than it used to. But hey, give it a try! If you don't like it, just turn it back off. Enjoy!

Sauce Digital has just released a new game called Nano Rally [App Store], an addictive top-down racing game with a twist. Because it's a nano rally, you play as a tiny car that must race through the clutter of the kitchen table, bedroom, office, garden and more! With a total of 6 environments, 25 different tracks, and TONS of obstacles, this game looks awesome!
We haven't had a chance to try it out for ourselves, but from what we've seen $0.99 seems like a steal. Check out the video below!
Incase has informed iLounge that current models of the Incase Power Slider have been discontinued and are no longer available from their site. Although third party retailers may still have them, Incase is planning to release a new version of the Power Slider. Current models have reportedly been known to decrease 3G reception for some users. Incase plans to address the issue with the new version. A specific release date is unknown, but it will be “around the holiday timeframe.”
The Power Slider is a combination case and battery based off the design of the Incase Slider.

Recently, we reported that developers were not able to request promo codes for their iPhone apps if the app had received a 17+ rating due to having an embedded web browser, unfiltered 3rd party content, or contained excessive violence or sexual content. This restriction severely limited the ability of the developers to distribute promotional copies of their software to generate publicity and awareness of the app.Update: Promo codes again allowed for 17+ apps originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sun, 26 Jul 2009 18:15:00 EST.

Techcrunch reports sources claiming Verizon is racing to get 20-40 markets up and running on their 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) network by Q1 2010 to coincide with an iPhone and iTablet launch.
Verizon is getting 60Mbps in 4G tests which is admittedly ZOMG fast, and since they’re going with LTE, this network will be theoretically compatible with AT&T and other GSM carriers also moving to the same technology.
And yes, it does sound too good to be true, but we won’t go all Leo Laporte on them just yet…
We know you want your iPhone on Verizon. But what about your iTablet. And are you willing to wait for LTE to get it? Let us know in our poll!
[Thanks Icebike for the tip!]
