For Valentine's Day this year, give your sweetheart the ultimate love note. Nothing says “adoration” like an iPhone 3G engraved with a tender endearment and loaded with loving apps. You’ll warm their heart and tickle their fancy.

The iPhone’s speedy 3G connection speeds will enable your true love to reach out to you any time via phone call, text or email. He or she will be able to snap sweet photos of the two of you and your adventures together. They can share them with the world or download and print pictures to frame and display. You can even take a picture of yourself and make it the phone’s wallpaper so that your smiling face is the first thing they see every time they start it up. Be sure to have the phone engraved on back when you purchase it. Choose something like “My heart sings for you—Happy Valentine’s Day” or “My feelings for you aren’t set in stone, they’re engraved on my heart” or something suitably expressive.

TrueFlirt
The TrueFlirt app by Viximo brings a charming new level of flirting to the iPhone. The app comes with ten interactive scenes that use one or two of the iPhone’s capabilities from tapping and shaking, to tilting and blowing into the mic, not to mention the clever soundtracks that accompany each flirt. The messages are broken up into three categories: Playful, Romantic and Sexy. The graphics are all extremely well done and polished. It’s a lot of fun to explore each scene to find the interactive elements. Particularly fitting for Valentine’s Day is the dice flirt which requires you to shake the iPhone and watch how the dice fall to find out your “activity”. Will it be snuggling on the couch or hugging in the closet? Fortunately if the dice say wrestling in the closet, you can just shake again for a new suggestion.
