Apparently there aren’t enough slobbering babies teething while biting down on an iPhone. That must be why a developer in Colorado created an iPhone app that caters to babies specifically. The iPhone Pacifier 1 application.

The app teaches kids aged 1-3 basic cognitive, vocabulary, and counting skills while keeping their attention with “stunning visual effects” and classical music. Hmmm. Sounds just like adults. The difficulty settings can be adjusted should you have a smarter than average baby.

This simple cardboard stand makes capturing document images with your iPhone super easy. Typically if you try to scan a document by holding your phone, what you will get is a blurry image. This is a simple and low-tech solution.

The stand/dock was created by University of Cincinnati DAAP student Kyle A Koch. It holds the phone and the document in the perfect position to get a good picture. Like all good cardboard things, it arrives to you flat packed for just $16. Not bad.

iPhoto’s face detection may be better then we thought. Who could blame it for pointing out an adorable face in this batch of unbaked cookies. After all it has ears, eyes, a nose and a mouth. It looks like a delicious mutant teddy bear.

It’s nice to know that iPhoto isn’t prejudiced against non-human faces. I think I also see one that looks like Winston Churchill. In fact many of them look like lumpy fleshy old men. What will iPhoto spot next?

This is a pretty neat application. It allows iPhone users to plant a virtual tree from their phone while simultaneously activating the planting of a real tree. Originally showcased at TED, the app is now available to the masses on iTunes.

The real trees are planted by the Conservation Fund, and they will begin with the restoration of a vulnerable wildlife habitat along the Gulf Coast. It’s sponsored by Ecolife Apparel, makers of cotton “green” underwear, and was developed by iPhactory.

LED vision peripherals have been on the market for some time. ‘Light Writer – POV Effect’ from Laan labs allows you to write in thin air using your iPhone. A few thousand years ago you would have been hailed far and wide as a wizard. Today, people will be amused by such displays for about 5 minutes, before telling you to knock it off.

Just type in your message or select a piece of clipart, wave your arm in the air and do your thing. It’s available for $1 at the app store.

LEDit is a led screen ticker emulator app available for both the iPhone and iPod Touch. It seems pretty silly at first, but when you think about it, it’s a pretty useful tool to have. Whether you’re in a noisy place like a nightclub or a silent place like library, you can use it to send others a message instead of yelling or whispering.

Just type in the message and hit the “display message” button and LEDit will scroll the message on the screen. It even vibrates to tell you when message has finished scrolling. You can customize text color, speed and set it to repeat.

If you already own a Kindle, now you need to download the Kindle app for your iPhone so you can keep reading on your iPhone. Amazon has announced the Kindle app for the iPhone and iPod touch, which gives users access and read Amazon’s ebooks. The app is a free download from the Apple App Store.

You can also use the iPhone or iPod touch Safari browser to buy new titles from Amazon as well as synchronize what you’ve already bought. Amazon’s new WhisperSync technology will keep your ebooks bookmarked across both devices.

Most iPod docking stations don’t support charging capability for your iPhone 3G, iPod Touch Gen 2, and iPod Nano Gen 4. It’s because of USB voltage differences. Scosche has come up with a converter named the passPORT Home Dock, that allows users to charge their iPhone 3G on these iPod docking stations.

The passPORT Home Dock makes it fully compatible with the older iPod docking stations. To clarify, this converter/adapter is not a stand-alone dock and will not add audio/video functions by itself. You can find one at Scosche.com and Amazon.com for $39.99.

Since you spend so much time already looking at Apple product screens, why not incorporate the theme into your skateboard? When you wreck you can crack both in half as well as some bones. Only $59.95.

Of course it’s not really cool unless you can actually use it like a real iPhone, controlling it with your feet as you do tricks. And that would call the ambulance super fast.

Whenever there is controversy regarding an iPhone app, it’s usually Apple who has the problem. In this case it’s Vegas who has a bone to pick with an iPhone app. Nevada gaming officials aren’t happy about a card counting app for the iPhone and iPod touch. Obviously it gives Blackjack players quite an advantage.

In fact using any device to count cards is considered a felony under Nevada laws. Good thing for cheaters that the app has a “stealth mode,” which makes it harder to spot unless you’re really looking for it. Individual casinos have their own policies on cellphones, so you better check first and make sure you know the rules, unless you plan on an extended vacation.

The latest iPhone battery pack from Mophie is probably the most acceptable battery extender yet for your iPhone 3G, the Mophie Juice pack Air. The Mophie Juice Pack Air is a case for the iPhone 3G with a built in battery pack, and judging by the images, it doesn’t harm the look and feel of the iPhone too much, unlike others.

The Mophie Juice Pack air will give you up to 270 hours of standby time, 4.5 hours of talk time on 3G or 9 hours on 2G, internet usage comes in a 4.5 hours on 3G and 5.4 hours in WiFi.

A while back we told you about the iFlyz iPhone holder, designed to hold your iPhone during long flights. It’s a great idea for sure, but you have to question the whole suction cup idea. You don’t want to trust your expensive gadget to a suction cup.

That’s where the In Your Face iPhone holder comes in. It does pretty much the same thing, for the same price, just in a much safer way as there is no suction cup involved. Instead it uses a much stronger spring-loaded iPhone clamp. I’m happy to report that it does it’s job well and has multiple uses while you keep your hands free.

We’ve all been there. Sometimes you get so frustrated and mad that you want to break something. Anything. I’m sure some of you have even smashed your iPhone, which you must have instantly regretted.

Well, here’s an app that will help you relieve some stress by simulating the smashing of your beloved iPhone screen with the sound of shattered glass as your icons explode. It will be available soon in the app store. This way you can blow off some steam and still have a nice pristine iPhone in your hand.

I ask you, have you ever seen a cuter little flash drive? It’s a tiny gumby-looking iPhone thing. It looks like it’s doing a sit up and working out. This guy must have been what all those iPhone nano rumors were about.

Not sure how much data it will hold and it will likely fall apart in your hands after one week, due to shoddy quality and the fact that it’s made from cheap rubber. I think. But just imagine how much fun you’ll have with your little friend before that happens.

Here’s something you don’t see everyday. A stick figure with an Apple head. It’s the latest 3G iPhone case from GoGo. The Applehead iPhone Case is made from polycarbonate and is available only in white.

In case it isn’t obvious enough, it’s a scratch proof iPhone case with stick man on the back. The hole where the Apple logo goes, is his head. Kind of a symbolic representation of the Apple fanboy. No word on pricing yet, but a case like this will make you stand out from the crowd for sure.
