Check out these great drink coasters, based on those ubiquitous iPhone menu icons.

Created by the guys over at Brazil’s Meninos design (the same guys who make these awesome hard drives), these icon coasters are a great gift for any iPhone addict. All your favorite applications are there, from Maps to Calculator, from iPod to Settings. Ah, Settings.

Each coaster measures 85mm square (about 3.34″) and is made from sturdy MDF plywood, then wrapped with a premium vinyl decal and durable varnish to protect the design. A thin rubber layer on the bottom keeps the coasters from slipping around.

Sets of 16 coasters retail for $60 USD over at the Meninos online shop.

According to reports originating from Russia, Apple is due to launch a localized iTunes Music Store in Russia on the 21st of April 2008.

Billboard ads that could be seen around Moscow, as well as a banner on the website itunes-store.ru, owned and operated by Apple, all state that Apple is currently in the process of preparing and launching the iTunes Music Store in Russia.

Ha, the best viral marketing i’ve ever seen

Hey, nowadays everyone has iPhone. We use it everyday and everywhere. We are discussing latest rumors about iPhone 2.0. Turn back to the year 2006.

Mythical hybrid from cell phone and mp3 player from Apple. The most awaiting device of the year of 2006 which release was postponed a lot of times. It had to roll over all electronic gadget world as iPod rolled over musical industry. Geeks were in expectation line. All internet had a lot of rumors about that gadget and full of unbelievable pix.

It’s sounds funny but i can’t imagine my life without iPhone now and I come up against a little bit difficulty when i try to use regular push-button cell phone :)

If you’ve ever wanted a good excuse to take your iPhone into class, how about using it to record your lectures? That’s what iPhone Recorder offers, together with the ability to directly record audio to ringtones without any computer necessary or any conversion processes in-between. Dynamic volume adjustment, channel and bitrate control, and a choice of mp3, mp4 and aac file formats round out a decent range of options; you can also directly attach them to an email from the app itself.

Now for the bad news: developer DreamCatcher is asking $29.95 for iPhone Recorder, which seems a bit steep for an audio recorder, even one as fully featured as this one is. It’ll be interesting to see what happens once the Apple App Store opens for business; right now iPhone Recorder requires a Jailbroken handset, but when people start finding their software the official way it’ll be far easier for developers to get freeware apps into the catalogue. Will there be a market for thirty-buck voice recorders by then?

iPhone DevTeam PRESS RELEASE

The “DevTeam” would like to announce the immediate withdrawal from the iPhone development arena.

It was anticipated that the DevTeam would be releasing a tool for the iPhone sometime this week, unfortunately it has been decided to withdraw all development activities on this tool.

Criticism of the validity of the tool has been reported in the press and certain actions were taken to prevent the release of the tool on the 30th March.

Due to these actions, certain developers ceased their work immediately, with others reconsidering their position.

On Monday the 31st of March the DevTeam was approached by an unnamed party to sell all of thei intellectual property and related applications.

After much consideration the offer was accepted and work has ceased.

The name of the company that has made this offer is private, and the details of the deal are confidential.

Our only comment is that Pwnage Tool and other such applications will not be seen outside of the lab.

We would like to thank our users for their support over the last 10 months.
