In this week's mildly paranoid<\/a> iPhone app roundup: Prices, slashed for the holidays! iPhones, recklessly tilted! Amazing classic games, handily ported! A decent camera app, sold for nothing! Cheap tickets, booked! Dictations, taken! Movies trivia, two ways! And much, much more...<\/p>

Honorable Mentions<\/h2>


• Google Mobile<\/a>: This update keeps the app from launching into Safari as much as it used to, and widens its voice capabilities. A minor but useful upgrade.<\/p>

• My Name<\/a> and Head Shoulders Knees & Toes<\/a>: I suspect most of you don't reader these roundups to find ways to entertain your children. But if you do<\/em>, My Name, which will teach your tot how to spell whatever is on his birth certificate, and Head, Shoulders Knees and Toes, which makes a simple touch game out of the children's song, will distract them long enough for you to gobble up enough Zoloft to keep the gears moving without anyone noticing.<\/p>

• Wolfram Alpha<\/a>: Once a comical $50, this mega calculator app is now a slightly less comical $20.<\/p>

• Monkey Ball 2<\/a>: Last week, I noted that this app seemed to have a widespread crashing problem, and therefore couldn't recommend it, despite the fact that it's a worthy—if not revolutionary—followup to one of the iPhone's best launch titles. The bug has been identified: If you have a jailbroken phone, avoid this one. If you don't, and you loved Monkey Ball numero uno, give it a shot.<\/p>

• iClassic<\/a>: Replaces your music interface with a faux-clickwheel. Jailbreak-only.<\/p>

• Voltron<\/a>: A name and a concept worth getting excited about, let down by mediocre execution.<\/p>

• Aqua Forest 2<\/a>: Same deal as above: A game with a pedigree and a soild concept, but on which the developers didn't quite follow through well enough.<\/p>

This Week's iPhone News On Giz<\/h2>


• Mega-iPhone Dorks Who Idolise Rambo, Strap This On For Size<\/a><\/p>
