Beejive IM app for the iPhone just got updated to 2.0, and it’s definitely a special update. With the app, you can send in-line photos, audio and video files, PDFs and Office docs to anyone you’re chatting with, provided the recipient has an IM client from the last 10 years.

The app’s a bit pricey at $16, but it works with AIM, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, MSN/Live, Myspace IM, and Yahoo messenger and it might be worth it with the recent update.

Probably not. But Planet Mat seems to think that an external keyboard is something the iPhone desperately needs. As much as we personally disagree with this, we do think that the design they came up with isn’t half bad. It can double as a case, too.

I really don’t know how functional this is but it seems that this iPhone case reminds me alot of my zip case that I have for my external hard drive. Nonetheless, it’s sure to catch someone’s eyes.

The Porela iphone case also has a section to hold cards so you can kick out your wallet and condense your cards into here. It measures in at 5″ x 3.5″ and is presented in a black leather finish.

The Freitag iPhone Sleeves are made of recycled tarp based goods, something that Freitag’s known for. They come in a bunch of different colors and are pretty durable. They’ve handled the heavy highways of Europe for transit, so you’re 3G should be just fine.

More shots after the jump

Let’s forget that the economy is about to collapse and people are running short on disposable income. Amazon doesn’t seem to care as they’ve just released an iPhone app that will help us to buy more useless crap.

When you upload a photo, Amazon’s Mechanical Turk workers try to match the photo up to products on sale on Amazon.com. You will get results back in 5 minutes to 24 hours, and you’re susceptible to human error. It should be interesting trying to buy one HDTV and getting the link for another. Good luck, people.

Orb 2.0 just popped up in the App Store.  What does Orb 2.0 do?  It’s a media-streaming app that lets you watch live TV from a tuner connected to a Windows PC, as well as stream music, videos, and photos from their libraries.  Plus, Orb lets you monitor a webcam, so you can spy on your roommate to make sure he stays on the other side of the line.

No date yet for Mac and Linux, but be patient.

Damn, so close.  Scandinavian wireless carrier TeliaSonera is planning a homegrown application that will grant multimedia messaging functionality to the handset.  Let’s hope the application makes it through Apple’s approval.  After that, it’s only a matter of time before it lands in the App Store in the US.
