NLU Products, creator of BodyGuardz, just came out with a brand new line of original decorative skins called TatSkinz.

These custom skins, featuring one-of-a-kind designs from original artists, are miraculously thin (devices still fit in docks) and yet semi-protective. They are reusable and easily adjustable, leaving no sticky residue. Available for the iPhone, iPod Classic, iPod 5G (video), iPod nano 3G, iPod Touch, and of course the new iPhone 3G.

Also, if you have a design idea for a TatSkinz design, you can submit your idea to NLU Products. If they deem your design innovative and different enough, they will feature and sell it online.

So i you remember way back when, the original iPhone got dropped into a blender to see if it could withstand a good mangling. As one would expect, the iPhone lost. Now the iPhone 3G goes up against the blender, can it's new slick plastic case standup better than the older metal backed case? Find out.

Gizmodo has a live blog running reviewing a number of the 552 applications that are available in the Apple iPhone App Store. Some of the apps do look pretty cool but as you would expect a few have turned the cheese factor way up.

Well isn't this special. Those cave dwelling, Mt. Dew drinking code gurus over at iPhone Dev Team have jailbreaked the new iPhone 2.0 OS before it's officially available online. How's that for being proactive. So now all of you hating on AT&T can maybe take your phone to another carrier.

Now that the official iPhone OS 2.0 is out, the iPhone Dev Team will release their Pwnage tool for everyone to unlock and jailbreak their iPhones soon.

Word is the crew has been hard at work on this since the early betas of the 2.0 software and have had it working for a couple of days now. I guess we can expect a lock closing update to be forthcoming just anytime.

Engagets got an interesting post talking about an order for NAND chips Apple recently made. Apparently Apple placed and order for 50 million 8Gb equivalent NAND chips. Samsung, the maker of the chips has apparently told the rest of their customer to bugger off until they can produce the large bulk order. It's good to be the king, eh!

Back in the day it was the Adult Entertainment industry that really drove the VHS market. It could be argued that it's the same industry that's driving the DVD market. However, the Internet has put a serious crimp in the industry making sexy, nude and explicit content readily available without ever having to leave your home. With the release of the iPhone 2.0 and it's 3G/Wifi capabilities the Adult Industry powerhouses are looking to cash in on people insatiable need for sex. Time has a couple of interesting articles here and here.

Vivid, a leading adult entertainment company based in Los Angeles, says that 50% of its mobile browser traffic now comes from iPhones. The company expects that to grow with the release of Apple's new model on July 11.

Penthouse is investing tens of millions in digital R&D, says its CEO, Marc Bell. "The iPhone is a beautiful medium," Bell says.

Digital Playground, a high-end adult production company based in Van Nuys, California, is launching a new portal that will automatically adjust to the iPhone's browser

Pink Visual, also based in Van Nuys, will likewise launch a new portal aimed at the 3G iPhone this summer. The company's first iPhone site has been attracting 3,000 new visitors a day. It was designed specifically for Apple's device: the videos are re-sized to fit its horizontal screen when the device is turned sideways.

I can't ay I'm all that surprised. What I'm surprised about is the AE industry is really just now embracing the iPhone and what it could mean for them. The problem is, the Internet makes it easy to get to free content, and the iPhone just makes it that much easier. Much like all other media outlets, the AE industry has to figure out how to make people want what they're selling.

Who can resist the iPhone? You can try but you will be assimilated. Eventually you'll give in to the relentless mind barrage of iPhone related material and taste the cool aid, and once you do you're done. Here's a photo to help you on your way. The shiny black is cool but I'm gonna miss the brushed aluminum.

The rich and famous always have to have something to spend their money on, the more outlandish the better. Such was the case with the gold plated iPhone and the diamond encrusted iPhone. But those are just examples of what happens when you have too much money and not enough stuff to spend it on. Everybody who's anybody knows that when it comes to practicality and style there's just no replacement for that "little black dress".

Be reasonable dude, why spend tens of thousands of dollars on some outlandish gadget, that'll probably get stolen anyway, when you can save yourself a boat load with the black iPhone. Like that little black dress the "ccPhone" is really a simple concept and it's one of only 50 limited edition models finished in a black matte. By most standards it's not cheap either, weighing in at a modest $2,000 but compared to some of those other luxury iPhones it's a steal and probably less likely to get you mugged.

IntoTheBox.tv spent some time talking to New yorkers about their cellphones and how they use them. A good deal of it surrounded the iPhone and the policies that have recently been implemented. The video clip talks to a couple people about how they feel about Apple forcing them to use a credit card to purchase a phone in order to track what they are doing with it (ie: trying to deter unlocking). The opinions are about what you'd expect but it always interesting to get the perspective from your Average Joe off the street. Check it out, what's your opinion, do you agree or disagree with the points presented in the clip?

In case you haven't found a use for that Adsense check yet, you might want to consider gold plating your iPhone in 24 carat gold. Why? Because you would be the coolest homey on the block, just ignore the snickers behind your back.

Seriously, being hip and cool is all about accessorizing and what better way to do that than having your phone match your teeth or the 40lbs of chains you lug around all day.
