It would seem that the first-ever iPhone game has been written and is available to download to your Jail-broken device, and true to the natural form of the Microsoft vs. Apple debate, it’s all based around blowing up Zunes. Jason Merchant, a clever (and possibly very bored) iPhone hacker has coded a small game app for the phone wherein you target floating Zunes with your onscreen mini-iPhone, and then blast away with missiles. The Microsoft-fanboy-incensing shooter was written in objective C, and obviously requires that your device has had Jailbreak run on it to allow for the install. The creator says he’s working on an aquarium app which will allow you to drop fish-food to an underwater iPhone, which pretty much makes no sense at all.

The iPhone isn’t the only handset whose software innards are getting lovingly torn apart in the name of science this week. It turns out some intrepid users of the Helio Ocean (a device occasionally compared to the iPhone, coincidentally) have been slaving away on a method for adding extra applications outside of the carrier’s walled garden. Their first success is a doozy, too: Opera Mini 3, one of the most prized jewels in the world of mobile software. The developers aren’t claiming it’s bug-free — landscape mode and the QWERTY keyboard don’t work, for example — but it’s a huge step in the right direction and they’re continuing to work out the kinks. More custom apps are said to be on the way, and don’t worry, Drift and Heat users — support’s said to be on the way for you guys, too.

It’s still a little way off from meaning anything to the average user, but the enterprising folks over at iPhone Dev Wiki have finally turned out binaries and source code for their very first compiled iPhone app. Of course, all it does is spit out the ubiquitous programmer shout-out “Hello World,” but make no mistake — this is a huge step in getting usable, real-world apps into end users’ hands without Apple’s or AT&T’s official blessing, and the fact that anyone can download this source and roll their own proof of concept is pretty darned comforting. “Hello World,” indeed.
