After having a shacky start, the highly controversial Commodore 64 emulator for the iPhone is now back in the Apple App Store. As some of you may recall, the app was rejected by Apple when it first came out last June due to some licensing issue. Just weeks later, the emulator was resubmitted to the App Store only to be yanked again due to some BASIC interpreter issue. But now it's back!

Apple has formally announced that the App Store has now amassed an archive of over 100,000 applications from first and third-party developers, marking yet another milestone for the largest online app storefront in the world, give or take a few thousand iFodder. No, I'm totally kidding.

Coming straight from their own Twitter page, iPhone Dev Team members wizdaz and MediaPhone have recently announced a brand new application for the iPhone and iPod touch, called SmartScreen. According to the post, this app will allow users the ability to have multiple widgets displayed on the lock screen. More info after the jump.

There's a bit of a shortage in iPhone games in this week's edition of the iPhone Weekend Warrior, but fear not, the recap still has some goodies with which you could tinker with your iPhone. In case you missed it, that prematurely released Resident Evil 4 for iPhone turns out to be completely legit, and you can read about that and a lot more right here.

SDK 3.1 Beta 2 is not the only thing released today by Apple. iTunes 8.2.1 is already out and about, ready for you to enjoy.

If you head on over to the iPhone Dev Center right now, you'll see that SDK 3.1 beta 2 is now up and available. Included in the changelog are a few APIs for customizing video/picture control looks.

Apple released yesterday the iPhone SDK 3.1 beta and iPhone OS 3.1 beta for the lucky developers for testing. The SDK is now available for download on the iPhone Dev Center page.  So what's new in the upcoming iPhone OS 3.1? Hit the link to find out.

Last week definitely saw a lot of hype surrounding the official release and subsequent jailbreaking of the iPhone OS 3.0. With that out of the way, spotlight turns back to the latest iPhone, the iPhone 3G S, with the week closing as we await the much-awaited jailbreak and unlock for the new model. So what happened in between all that? Find out in this week's iPhone Weekend Warrior.

The folks at iPhone developer Manomio are feeling pretty damn frustrated right now, and with seemingly good reason. They went through all the trouble to actually get their Commodore 64 emulator legally licensed but it still got rejected from Apple's App Store. It wasn't a question of legality, since Manomio had that covered. According to the rejection email, it's because the app violates an iPhone SDK agreement that a number of apps already on the App Store also supposedly violate.

Shooters, platformers and puzzle games aren't the only games that iPhone and iPod Touch owners can find on the App Store. There's the occasional sports game too, like Com2US's Baseball Slugger: Home Run Race 3D.
