FLPR remote dongle, eBooks overtake games in app store, iPhone price cut in China

The number of remote control dongles coming for the iPhone is growing all the moment. The latest offering is the FLPR from New Potato Technologies that turns the iPhone or iPod touch into a universal remote. The device will sell for about $80 at Best Buy later that month.

Games are the favorite items on the App Store for many of

us. A new report from Mobclix has shown that the App Store now has more eBooks than it has games with 26,500 eBooks on the store.

A China Unicom executive has stated that the mobile carrier hopes that the price of the iPhone in China will come down. The official handset lacks WiFi and is reportedly more expensive than grey market versions offering WiFi.
