Game developers are announcing lots of new stuff at the E3, and it’s good to see so many of them are planning to release games for iPhones and iPads. We’ve seen Final Fantasy Tactics being ported to the iPhone. Now, Sega and Capcom have announced that Sonic 4 and 1942: First Strike are coming to the iPhone.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of Lions Coming to iPhone
Square Enix announced yesterday that Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of Lions is coming to the iPhone. Final Fantasy Tactics is a departure from a the usual mechanics of the Final Fantasy series, featuring an isometric view of the battlefield and many, many customization options for your characters. The original game first appeared on the Play Station in 1997, and War of Lions is a remake Square Enix launched on PSP 2 years ago.
Square Enix hasn’t announced a release date yet, or whether this “remake of the remake” will carry along some exclusive features for the iPhone. Check out the promo video after the break.
Apple Suggests You Should Open Presentations In…iBooks
Right after the iPhone 4 was announced, Apple updated its website with screenshots of the new features. Mail.app has a dedicated page on the website, and we noticed that Apple posted a screenshot of Mail allowing you to open a presentation attachment in Keynote. Too bad Keynote for iPhone hadn’t been announced at the keynote, so we all wondered whether that might mean that iWork suite was on its way to the iPhone.

iDroid Shows Off iPhone’s Portly Side
Good god sir, what are you doing? Not only have you taken my precious iPhone and turned it into some Debian abomination, but it looks like Windows 95! This is all wrong!
Tripmix, Music Blocks made Easy
In North Carolina, my respective radio station is 106.5 The End (link might contain NSFW content). And while I don’t know too many people who still listen to their local radio stations, I’m a huge fan, thus the shameless plug (and the window sticker). Occasionally they’ll have a block party weekend, where they’ll play two or three songs by the same artist in a row, and it’s a format I really love. But now when I travel, I can have a block party weekend wherever I go with Tripmix.
Geohot’s Next Jailbreak Tool To Be Called Limera1n?
It seems like popular hacker George Hotz is already working on the next version of his popular jailbreak tool for iPhone and iPod Touch, currently called “Blackra1n”. According to Redmond Pie, the next iteration should be called “Limera1n” and it turns out that a website is already online and the Whois record points to the same credentials Hotz used for Blackra1n. We’re embedding it after the break.
I think Hotz is indeed working on this Limera1n tool, but it’s the one that will jailbreak OS 4.0 devices, so it’s not going to be available soon, like next week. As for the jailbreak of the current iPad, we heard that it’s near completion - so I guess that should come anytime now. Hopefully, we’ll be here in two weeks discussing Cydia for iPad.
Jailbreak for iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 1 Available
Dev Team’s Musclenerd has just announced the first public jailbreak of the iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 1. Aimed only at developers of jailbroken apps, this jailbreak is done using RedSnow (Mac-only) 0.9.5 beta, available here.
The jailbreak doesn’t work on the iPad and, again, is still very broken and unstable. Still, it seems to be working.
Also, iPhone 3G only for now. More to come in the next days.
