So you’ve lost your car… again. How many times have you forgotten where you parked? It happens to the best of us, but everyday? Come on, you should probably go visit a neurologist or something.

If he has trouble squeezing you in, here’s a nice back-up plan. The $.99 iPhone app Car Finder uses augmented reality to help you find your car. Car Finder guides you to your car using easy to follow walking instructions and even marks your spot with a little icon. Now all you have to do is remember to actually set the app before you leave your car.

It’s barely been a year since the App Store opened its metaphorical doors and yet developers have not ceased to continue their plot to create an app for every damn problem or non-problem you might or might not be facing. 100,000 apps later and here we are. We have apps to help you look up Asian girls’ skirts, apps to help you get jailbait porn and of course about half of these apps are some sort of variation of a farting sound machine.

While the app creation process has certainly slowed down from its fervent beginnings, hundreds of apps are still released every single day. The App Store has become a pretty incredible result of what innovation can achieve if done right.

Upskirts are sort of a phenomenon in the porn industry, especially the among the Japanese population. Creepy men with hidden cameras scout the streets for unsuspecting ladies and broadcast their unbelievably sexy findings on the web. Watching these videos is sort of a blurry area of the law.

Avoid the legal system by producing your own upskirt shots right on your iPhone. Flick the screen or blow on the speaker and watch as the model gradually unveils their gorgeous cameltoe. Hit the jump for video demonstrations.

One of my favorite iPhone app developers, Smule, creators of Leaf Trombone and Ocarina, have released their newest app, I Am T-Pain. At first glance, this app might seem like a shameless plug for the T man and his destruction of music, but further research shows that this app seems like a whole lot of fun.

Using the actual Auto-Tune technology created by Antares Audio Technologies, I Am T-Pain lets users sing-along or read-along to T-Pain song lyrics and a few instrumental tracks with the help of auto-pitch correction technology. Users can then post their recordings to Facebook or MySpace. You’ve gotta check the video after the jump to believe it.

Tiverias Apps has unveiled their new Gmail push application, GPush, which claims to push Gmail e-mail messages directly to the iPhone, instantaneously, compared to waiting for the iPhone e-mail app to refresh.

Users can take advantage of the iPhone’s push notification system, including audio alerts and pop-ups. The app is available in the App Store for 99 cents. But does it actually work? I’ve been waiting for a while for a Gmail push app, so I’ll most likely be taking a look at GPush.

So, here’s the story. Resident Evil 4 was briefly released in the Japanese Apple App Store a while back, but was pulled pretty quickly after. As it turns out, the zombie slaying game has now been released back into the wild of the App Store, and this time, its for good.

You can grab Resident Evil 4 for $7.99 from the Apple iTunes App Store. The game was originally released on Nintendo Gamecube in 2005. Since then it has expanded to other platforms. And now, zombie slaughtering is playable right from your iPhone. Win. Check out a video preview and another screenshot after the jump.

By a show of hands, who loves porn? Don’t be ashamed! I don’t blame you if you’ve felt a little guilt over the past few weeks with the way Apple shuns the nude female form. But in this second case of porn removal (so far), we can at least see the legal sense.

Free iPhone app “BeautyMeter,” which was sort of like a modern version of “Hot or Not,” was pulled from the iTunes App Store shelves after teenage girls began bearing it all to bump up their ratings. Even if whoever posted these images wasn’t the actual nude girls in question and even if they happened to be 17 rather than 15, the law is the law. And jailbait is jailbait, no matter how sexy.

Anyone not excited about a new Doom title is really just a sour puss. Since the original, three-episode shooter, any sequel or update has made me jump for joy. This time is no exception.

Doom Resurrection is an iPhone game that debuts next week from id Software. It’ll feature lots of downsampled graphics from Doom 3, great controls and a few other surprises. John Carmack says he “loves the iPhone” and calls it a “real game platform.” Good to know, Johnny. Resurrection sports eight-levels of fury and an improved aiming system, ensuring that the game runs at a smooth 30 fps the entire time. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some Cacodemons to attend to.

As I read a review of Postino, a smirk appeared on my face. This is exactly the kind of killer app I love to discover. You head over to the App Store and download the Postino 1.0 app for free. Then, you pick a photo you took and add a frame, text and whatever doo-dads you please. Next, you can choose who to send it to. Postino has a great business model here, charging a flat rate of $1.99 to send a postcard anywhere in the world. Additionally, e-cards are also an option. So the next time you’re on a far away vacation with your iPhone, there’s simply no excuse for not sending a postcard.

Ovi. What sounds like a menstruation period for a woman is actually Nokia’s attempt at an application store. According to TechCrunch and several other blogs, the service has launched but it’s hardly working. Search results yield nothing of value and the categories are all screwed up. Looking for a top ten apps list? No one’s been able to accomplish that yet. It’s not looking good for Nokia with a fucked up launch like this. Let’s hope that by Friday, Nokia has everything it needs to in place.
