Blocks for iPhoneOS 3.0 and Mac OS X 10.5 [Plausible Labs]
"Blocks are a great addition to Objective-C, but unfortunately, are only available in Mac OS X 10.6. We have a quite a bit of code that could be greatly simplified using blocks, and so I decided to spend some time back-porting block support to iPhoneOS 3.0 and Mac OS X 10.5. "The result, Plausible Blocks, provides a drop-in runtime and Xcode compiler for using blocks in your iPhone and Mac OS X 10.5 applications, based on Apple’s Snow Leopard blocks runtime and compiler support."plblocks
"Plausible Blocks (PLBlocks) provides a drop-in runtime and toolchain for using blocks [aka closures] in iPhone 2.2+ and Mac OS X 10.5 applications. Both the runtime and compiler patches are direct backports from Apple's Snow Leopard source releases."July 03 2009

Redis, a fast key-value database
“Redis is a key-value database. It is similar to memcached but the dataset is not volatile, and values can be strings, exactly like in memcached, but also lists and sets with atomic operations to push/pop elements. “In order to be very fast but at the same time persistent the whole dataset is taken in memory and from time to time and/or when a number of changes to the dataset are performed it is written asynchronously on disk. You may lost the last few queries that is acceptable in many applications but it is as fast as an in memory DB (beta 6 of Redis includes initial support for master-slave replication in order to solve this problem by redundancy).”February 25 2009
RakNet - Multiplayer game network engine
“A cross-platform C++ game networking engine.

Not free, but license terms are very reasonable for indie games.January 24 2009

SQLite Persistent Objects
“It lets you create Objective-C classes that know how to persist themselves into a SQLite database. Not only that, but it completely hides the implementation details from you - you do not need to create the database, create the tables, or do anything else except work with your ojbects. you simply subclass SQLitePersistentObject and create Objective-C 2.0 properties for every data element you want persisted.”Introducing BWToolkit
“BWToolkit is a BSD licensed plugin for Interface Builder 3 that contains commonly used UI elements and other useful objects. Using these objects is as simple as dragging them from the library to your canvas or document window.”October 04 2008
