The AP News [App Store] iPhone/iPod touch app that rolled out ugly earlier in the week has updated to version 2.01 and fixed that nasty problem that wouldn’t let you run the app reliably if you had the previous AP Mobile app already on your phone.

That has been fixed, but the app still suffers from more bugs than the centerfield lights at a night baseball game. When you update to the latest version you will likely lose all your preferences, and as we reported, setting preferences is no small task.

The iPhone blogs says they’ve uncovered the very first photos of a brand new version of the iPhone (the pictures are watermarked from a site called UMPC Fever), and while there’s no actual indication that they’re real (at the very least, it wouldn’t be hard at all to make a picture and load it on the iPhone stream), they are worth a look, if only as ideas. The pictures hint at what’s basically a dream roundup of new iPhone hardware: a camera with autofocus, a digital compass, and there are hints at a CPU log as well (which may be a developer function of some kind).

A few people note that there is a percentage near the battery, but that’s actually a known function of 3.0, and it’s been possible on jailbroken iPhones for a while as well.

Hey, the weekend is coming, so how serious can we be? Sky Burger, [App Store] a pretty cute arcade game for the iPhone and iPod touch, is free today only.

The game involves tilting your iPhone to catch ingredients to make a sandwich with the required ingredients. There are 50 possible burger orders to try and get right. You cap it all of with a bun. It reminds a little bit of the theme of the 1982 game called Burger Time.
