For iPhone users looking to mix their own music, software developer Amidio has released an app called Touch DJ [App Store, $19.99], which the company claims is the the first full-featured DJ application on the iPhone platform.
The application offers realtime independent manipulation of two MP3 files, including scratching, looping, positioning, equalisation, effects and and pitching.

If you jailbroke your iPhone, you understood there were both positive and negative elements to doing this. Still, if you're staring at a picture of Rick Astley that you never installed or the new iPhone worm is sending personal information out to others, you're in a bit of a bind and need to remove them.

Presently, the three known worms out there for the iPhone are as follows: Ikee changes your wallpaper to Rick Astley, iPhone/Privacy.A pores through all your personal information, and the third as-yet-unnamed worm copies your personal data and redirects online banking customers of a Dutch bank to a fake phishing website.

8 Track Mind is an innovative musical puzzle game where the goal is to reproduce the original music by engaging specific music samples. When you start, a track is played for you to remember. After the music has been played, you have a limited amount of time to reproduce each part by tapping on the sample pads. The great part is that you're not penalized for hitting the wrong pads, so you can listen to each one to figure out which fits with the original.

Mobile ad firm AdMob has released their October 2009 Mobile Metrics Report, in which they say that Apple devices are responsible for 50% of worldwide ad request hits on their network, which serves ads to several other popular platforms in areas around the world.

Last week, a promotional email for Apple's annual Black Friday sale this year was leaked, revealing discounts on the iPod touch. Today, a second promotional image offering more detailed prices on a variety of products offers some details, and also appears more credible and realistic.

Rogue Amoeba has announced in a post on their blog that Apple has reversed their policy on using pictures of Apple products like Macs, iPods and iPhones in iPhone apps, and has allowed a new version of Airfoil Speakers Touch [App Store, Free] to be released with the original images intact. The policy change comes not long after Rogue Amoeba quit the iPhone app business due to Apple's over-agressive defense of product images that resulted in a minor update being delayed three months.

Apple has decided to step in to the battle between AT&T and Verizon Wireless in the US with two new TV advertisements highlighting one of the few advantages of AT&T's network over Verizon's: the ability to run voice and data connections simultaneously. The first ad, titled "Did You See My Email?", shows the user using an iPhone to open an email from a client while still talking to them on the phone, shown after the break.

The App Store has received quite a lot of criticism recently, first with Facebook developer Joe Hewitt's decision to stop development for the iPhone, and then Rogue Amoeba announcing the same thing a day later. To defend Apple's position, Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice-president for worldwide product marketing, sat down with BusinessWeek for an interview on the matter.

In the interview, Schiller defends the review process by stating that they've created a store that people can trust:

A series of comments expressed by Broadpoint AmTech analyst Brian Marshall on Friday have garnered a fair amount of attention over the weekend. Key among these is Marshall's claim that AT&T's exclusive agreement to distribute the iPhone in the U.S. will expire in June 2010, opening the door for other carriers to begin offering the device. Marshall's comments specifically point to Verizon as a carrier with which Apple would likely look to partner, with rumors of revised iPhone hardware capable of running on Verizon's network suggesting that a late 2010 launch could be possible.
