Well the holidays are right around the corner so why not give our readers one last Apps for Less before the new year.

Now is your chance to grab a very addictive game, Topple [iTunes Link], and you can't complain about the price when it's FREE. This is a limited time offer so be sure to grab it as soon as possible.

How many of you still require hands free voice dialing? Well if Apple will not give you what you want, you always have the 3rd party developers! Enter Voice Dial... [iTunes Link] It may not be 100% perfect, but it's better than what you have already no?

Next up is a little app called Touch Physics. What is the goal of this game you ask? Simply to get the ball from the start to the star. To do this you will need to construct different objects on each level by drawing with your finger and everything is based on real physics. Worth a try, especially for $.99.

Enjoy these great savings!

Note to Developers: Are you a developer and have any apps in the App Store going on sale or that you simply think is a great deal? Contact us and let us know to include it in a future Apps for Less!

Two fun little hacks for your iPhone this morning. The first comes from Nate True (aka iPhone genius), it's a neat little way to get speed dial icons on your Home Screen. The trick? 1.1.3 allows you to add web shortcuts to the home screen and Safari allows web pages to initiate calls (with your permisison). Two great tastes that taste great together. True tells you how:

So the new iPhone 1.1.3 firmware allows you to put icons on your home screen for websites, but I know many of us want to put phone numbers on there for a Speed Dial screen.

I've put a little hack together that lets you have a (somewhat) speedy speed dial icon. There's no jailbreaking required for this one - it can all be done using Apple-approved Web Clip creation. -

The next dialing hack is for those of you with jailbroken iPhones. This is actually one of the better apps I've seen for this gray market - real Voice Dialing on your iPhone. It's done up by Makayama and it's $27.95. You'll need to add them as a source yourself:

To get a free tryout, start Installer on your iPhone, press Sources, then Edit, then Add. Next, type http://tinyurl.com/2t8cax

...It might seem a little crazy to be paying for an iPhone app when the SDK is just around the corner, though. Nate True himself makes it clear that 1.1.3 takes more steps toward safely-installed apps by reducing the number of programs that run as "root." But if you're jonesing for voice dial and have money to burn, you have that option now.
