Last week I told you it took time to sync my iPhone to iTunes and it seems I'm not alone. I believe that almost all Mac users have reported that he had only syncing a few minutes, but a lot of Windows users (with some exceptions) have been having the same experience as me. Windows is doing something manure the synchronization process or on different platforms? We hope that this is something to consider in future Apple updates.

Following your advice, and the opinion of other iPhone forums, I restored my iPhone and then my last backup used to obtain information on my return. Unfortunately, I lost almost all my applications ... seems Transfer Purchases to iTunes not mean what I think it is. While I redownload all my favorite applications, check out this week's picks.

This week the iPhone applications include a program that lets you create slideshows with your images and a unique free-form off-road racer that is surprisingly fun.

Pix Remix ($ 2.99)

lets you take photos with your camera and your iPhone in only three ways. You can create a presentation, a collage or a slow pan / zoom type of things (Ken Burns style), you can then share it with your friends via e-mail or by post to Facebook or Twitter. Pix Remix is very easy to use, with an interface simple enough, but also gives you instructions on screen to create any type of presentation.

To get started, simply choose the type of "entertainment" you want to create. The presentation is pretty straight-forward - just select the file you want to include, add captions, adjust as desired, and you're done. With Collage, you can choose any image you want, then you are given the ability to drag and arrange them however you want on the screen. The pan and zoom option could be more dramatic, because you can write captions for each phase, transforming an image into a story complete. Pix Remix iPhone also uses the specific features that you shake your iPhone to reorganize the photos and much touch screen interaction with the interface. If you want a new way to send your pictures to friends or publish on the Web, this app is a single choice and fun.

4x4 Jam ($ 3.99)

is an off-road racer that allows you to drive anywhere you want - a constant and continuous evolution of the landscape in every direction. Steer by turning your iPhone left and right and you have several options for the set of control depending on how the control (for the gas and brakes) that you want. You can choose from a VW bug-4X4 off-road racer or a truck, with 4 options for each skin. You can participate in a couple of different types of stroke with computers, including a controlled players Off Road Race (groped to beat your opponent for each port) or Jam (score points by passing through several doors and your opponents. Unfortunately, is no way of career, so there is little to keep you interested if you do not like the race types on offer. But there are three levels of difficulty to keep things a little 'interesting. 

The first thing I noticed, besides the free form was the race and implemented physics. How do you become really notice the centrifugal force and stop to turn a coin is practically impossible. This only adds to the fun, as you and your opponents jockey for position and also be able to force the doors of the way to get an advantage. Overall, 4x4 Jam is a great concept fun and exciting, with race, but the lack of a career mode would be reason enough to wait for future updates before you spend money. 

What's your favorite iPhone app? You have a unique image application that's better than Pix Remix? 4x4 Jam was worth it, even without the career mode? Let me know in the comments!
