Engadget has tested out BTStack Keyboard, which will make pairing a Bluetooth keyboard to your iPhone possible. The app is priced at $5 in Cydia, so you’ll need a jailbroken iPhone for this one to work. Check out the video after the break!

Apple removed earlier this year all apps that had anything to do with Google Voice. Now there seems to be a new app in the making, which will be able to use Google Voice. According to the developer, this app can’t be rejected from Apple’s App Store, since it’s working through Safari. The only downside being that voicemails will be heard though the speaker, due to the way the iPhone handles sounds in Safari. Other than that, Black Swan will work like a ‘normal’ app.
Sign up for the beta here, and hope for an invite.

OmniVision, the producer of the iPhone 3GS CMOS chip, today said that they are preparing to ship 40-45 million 5MP CMOS sensors a year for Apple to use in their next-gen iPhone. The phone is rumored to be released in June 2010, at the WWDC where the previous iPhone models have been unveiled. The estimate for 2009 was 20-21 million sensors, so this means that they think the amount of shipped iPhones will double.

It’s using a modified Unreal Tournament level previously shown off at GDC. A virtual thumbstick on the left side of the screen controls your movement, while tracking your thumb in the lower right corner of the screen controls the camera. Just tap the screen to shoot. Mark said this is a tech test bed and theyre experimenting with several different control schemes including ones with tilt.
Some really impressive graphics with this engine! Check out the video after the break.
