We know how much you love, or will love, the AppAdvice podcast and we can’t blame you. In this week’s third beta edition, we discuss many great things, from Amazon’s new Kindle Fire tablet, to the unbelievable expectations we have for Apple’s iPhone event next week.

As usual, we’re still working out the kinks and the format, as we’re really new to this whole audio thing. Therefore, we expect and welcome any constructive feedback you might have. You can find this week’s episode:

The Card ($ 0.99) by The App Lab, Inc. is a slick way to get your information out to new contacts that you may come across.

It seems that the dead tree business card is going the way of the dinosaur these days, and it’s hard to not see why. You have to carry a bunch of them around with you at all times, and they cost money for a big batch. Digital exchanging of information is the way to do it nowadays, and The Card is another fine app to get the job done.

Fruit Storm (Free) by Nightelf is a match-three game with a scrolling twist. Not only can you switch items, but you can rotate entire columns and rows. Challenge your matching abilities with this free app.

The premise is as simple as it can get. Match three pieces of fruit that are alike to earn points. The more matches you make, the better your score. This game offers more than the basics. Not only do you swap tiles in order to make a match, but you also move columns or rows to line up three in a row.

QuickPics Ultimate from Protech1inc has gotten a major update and a new name: QuickPics Social. This universal camera app has a whole new interface and functionality. As I mentioned in my original review of the app, the developer immediately started working on a update based on my feedback. They have redesigned the UI and added 45 new features! The name change reflects the app’s focus on easy uploading to a number of social networking sites.

I remember having fun with calculators in elementary school (ok, through a lot of high school, too) with antics such as typing in 8,008 or programming friend’s graphing calculators to display curse words instead of errors. We had too much free time on our hands in physics class, and our graphic calculators were loaded with as many games as we could fit. So, I appreciate an app the just messes with people in calculator form without resorting to anatomy references or overriding a TI-83 without breaking its brain. The Bad Calculator, amply named, provides that entertainment.

Don’t you hate it when each of your 30 iPads are out of power or need synced? Yes, there is now an accessory for that, according to Engadget. Of course, it will cost you.

Griffin’s Multidock system is the world’s first business-centric iOS accessory. Using its own power connection, the Multidock will charge up to ten iPads at the same time. In addition, you can chain-link two additional Multidocks so that you could synch up to 30 iPads at the same time.

When Apple unveils the iPhone 5/4S on Tuesday, it is expected to include a new voice feature using technology from Nuance and Siri. Today, MacRumors suggests this feature will be available exclusively on the new handset and not available on previous iPhone models through a software upgrade.

We’ve told you about Assistant before. In fact, we presented a thorough write-up on the subject earlier this week. Today’s news, however, is the first to suggest the feature will only be available on Apple’s newest iPhone. In other words, it won’t be available through the iOS 5 update for older handsets such as the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.

What do you get when you combine JELL-O and music? JELL-O Jiggle-It, an interesting new app for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad.

Created by Kraft New Services, Inc., the free app lets you select different flavors of JELL-O and then the slices dance to tunes from your Music app. The end result is actually quite funny.

To begin jiggling, first select your JELL-O flavor. These include: Strawberry, Orange, Lemon, Lime, and our favorite, Berry Blue. Next, choose your audio source, which can be your iDevice’s microphone or library.
