The XBIZ Weekly Tech Watch

A handful of fun new iPhone applications highlight this week's Tech Watch, which also includes an advance look at the new Google phone.

• Music fans should be able to waste a lot of time at FavTape.com, which lets users mix tracks from Pandora or Last.fm.

• Someone spotted the new T-Mobile Google phone in the wild. The latest report on its price is $200.

• Twitter addicts should be able to conduct more productive searches of the micro-blogging site with the iPhone application Summaizer.

• Another handy iPhone app is Private-I, which acts like a LoJack for your iPhone. Meanwhile, golf fans may enjoy iGolf, while Google Earth addicts can now access the powerful application on their iPhones with Earthscape.

• For adult webmasters who are also observant Christians, there's the Twitter clone Gospelr.com.

• The visual search engine SearchMe.com now has a portal for mobile devices.

• BillShrink.com pitches itself as an all-purpose financial advice service.

• Joost has relaunched as an in-browser video destination.

• The Skybar Wine Cabinet may look a little cheesy, but it dispenses loads of wine quickly and is classier than a box of Franzia - just barely.

• This futuristic iPod dock may look strange, but it promises to deliver great sound.

• Google is now indexing audio files. Next: indexing the ambient sound of interstellar space. Speaking of Google, the Internet giant's mapping service now includes Street View for mobile devices.

• Activists and community organizers can now use Amazee.com to better do thier jobs.

• In the unlikely event that there's someone out there who wants to add more widgets to a MySpace or Facebook profile, there's RockYou.com.

• Wannabe artists can use the iPhone app Gesture to make impressionistic paintings on the fly.

• MashedLife.com promises to help users organize all of their Web 2.0 profiles and accounts.

• Need to send a custom postcard? HazelMail.com can help make it happen.
