Best Buy has announced that they will begin selling the iPhone on September 7 at their nearly 1,000 stores, becoming the first retailer besides Apple and AT&T to do so. Apple cited the good relationship with Best Buy, who currently sells Macintosh computers, iPods, and accessories, as one of the main reasons for allowing Best Buy to sell the iPhone.

(Note: This is the first in a series of reviews of weather applications and webapps for the iPhone, which will culminate in a head-to-head comparison)
The weather application that most iPhone owners are familiar with is the one that comes with it. And while it can satisfy the need to know the most basic forecast details (sunny, rainy, etc), it certainly leaves many people wanting more information to help them better plan their day. Several web applications and iPhone applications have been written address this need - both for the casual user and those more meteorologically-minded. Today, we take a look at MyWeather.

Today, a new version has been posted that addresses the security concerns and improves the stability of the game, fixes several bugs, and adds a few new features and levels to boot!

The concern surrounds the fact that Aurora Feint apparently uploads your entire Contacts list — unencrypted — to the developer’s server.

And I’ve got to say - considering that this was not designed or promoted as a "GPS Navigation Tool" - it’s not terrible at it — if you give it a chance. No, it won’t tell you when to turn, and no, it won’t re-route you when you make a wrong turn - but it does do the majority of what you’d want a GPS Navigation system for, and a few things that a proper GPS system doesn’t.

Many people, myself included, have experienced “turbo battery drain” - leaving them with seriously discharged batteries much earlier than expected based on 2G iPhone experience. I have begun a “reasonably scientific” study of the battery life and have some basic, preliminary findings and tips to share.

I’d noticed a few apps over the last few days that I was pretty sure hadn’t been posted before. Today, however, I confirmed it. “Who Is Hot?” just showed up in the Weather category - one I have been watching quite closely as an avowed weather buff. It most certainly was not there yesterday, yet its release date is July 11th.
Similarly, “Sol Daylight Clock” appeared today with a release date of July 13.

Ah, springtime! That time of year when a young man’s fancy turns to…. Baseball! As we pause briefly in the regular season to give the venerable Yankee Stadium a fitting tribute during this year’s All-Star game, MLB.com has delivered to the App Store an application to keep track of your favorite teams as they play the second half of the season.
OVERVIEW
MLB At Bat can best be described as a heavily stripped-down version of MLB.com, providing the basics of games in progress and completed games, along with video highlights from each game. For $4.99, baseball fans can view all of the games for the "rest of the season" - bringing to mind the question of whether or not this will prove to be a yearly charge.
