It's official, it's here, it's available in the App Store as Lightsaber Unleashed [iTunes Link].

Remember how this app was pulled off the App Store for copyright infringement? Well, Lucas Arts approached the developpers and made this new official version.

The good news is that it's still completely useless, yet still as funny as ever. Also worth noting is that the app is still free. We love free!

This new version has

5 characters from The Force Unleashed with their own unique Lightsaber Dueling music for "extra fun"

May the iPhone be with you!

Private-I [iTunes link] is a $.99 application that may help you find the person who stole your iPhone, if that ever happened. This app will add a "PRIVATE" icon in red font on your springboard and it may provoke the thief to open it.

When launched, the app loads up a fake screen that says "Accessing Pictures" while actually locating you via GPS or triangulation and emailing you the location of your iPhone.

Brian at Wired says:

It seems like this app would be more useful for iPhone 3G owners who can get more precise coordinates using GPS. I just tested the app on my first-generation iPhone and received a Google Maps link that doesn't tell me anything.

I'm not sure how worthy this app is but anything that could get your iPhone back is probably good.

This is quite a funny, yet surprisingly true drawing we've got here. We all know that the Apple process to accept applications in the App Store is very very very shady (see the Netshare mess...) and more recently the Podcaster app debacle!
