One of the major complaints you hear about the iPhone is the lack of consistency with things such as landscape keyboard mode. You can go landscape keyboard while using Safari, but landscape SMS is not possible. That was until SMS Touch launched on the App Store, offering the ability to landscape keyboard messages that get sent via email and can be responded to in SMS. There is also a cost saving element here. Since the app costs $5, you’ll be able to use it and avoid paying for unlimited text messaging services which can run you an extra $15 depending on the carrier.

It looks like NBC is now streaming free episodes of 30 Rock and The Office to iPhones and iPod Touches. They’re both shown without ads, which is nice, but come with a catch: if you exit Safari while watching, you’ve got to re-download the very large files again. Not a huge problem in the US — as long as you’ve got Wi-Fi — but might cause some headaches for Canadian users when the iPhone hits there, due the high price for bandwidth up north.

PopCap Games has announced that they have launched a custom version of Bejeweled for the Safari web browser in Apple’s iPhone.

Bejeweled was first released in 2001 and its incredible popularity spawned a host of clones as well as a new genre–the match 3 puzzler. This latest version makes use of Web 2.0 features available in Safari, and has been optimized to take advantage of the unique display and controls on the iPhone.

“We’re excited to be providing the most popular puzzle game of the 21st century to users of the most advanced mobile device yet created,” said Andrew Stein, Director of Mobile Platforms at PopCap. “We wanted to give the hundreds of thousands of iPhone users a fun, fast gaming fix - and at no cost, no less.”

The game is freely available to play by visiting PopCap’s website via the iPhone.
