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.

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.
