Finally, an iPhone app/game I really, really want
If you’re looking for a game that makes the most of the iPhone’s touch screen and accelerometer, then you will want to check out Aqua Forest from Hudson Soft and Prometech Software. This awesome 2D game allows users to “…manipulate on-screen water and various other substances by touch.” With five modes in each of the ten stages, there are a total of fifty rounds for you to play in this game.

And this suits well with the 3G feature of the new iPhone since using the application would require a lot of bandwidth.
Earthscape hasn’t given out too many details about the iPhone Earth, but if you want to see how it works, here’s a short video demonstration of the iPhone Earth in action, courtesy of the Google Earth Blog.
