Mach Dice is the iPhone RPG die rolling app you’ve been waiting for

Finally!  The die app you role players (or lovers of multi-facted dice) have been waiting for has arrived, from MachWerx.  It's Mach Dice and it's beautiful.  The premise is simple.  You choose the dice, you make the roll.  You can select any type of die you want, up to 100 of them - multiple dice of different sides are available as well.

Koi Pond for the iPhone/iPod Touch

The Iphone app for idiots with money

Proving once again that money doesn't necessarily always flow towards the smartest individuals, someone has released the "I am Rich" app to the Apple App Store.  This $999 app does nothing but display an image of a ruby on your iPhone or iPod touch.  Why?  So you can show everyone how much of a rich bastard you are, being able to afford to drop a grand on a picture of a ruby.
