AIM and NetNewsWire are the main non-games I've played with. I've been busy with other things so haven't had a great chance.
AIM is great. The background notification will be very useful when it comes later this year. NetNewsWire (RSS Reader)... I'm not sure if it's better than their mobile version. Will post more as I get a chance to play arn |

For the most part, I'm still getting used to the iPhone since I held out and didn't get V1. So I have spent most of my app store time on free apps, just to get a feel for some of them.
But I have my eye on a few Starmap is one. Waiting to see if someone develops one that will show when the ISS goes over and the like. Weather ones, but waiting until Sept time frame when push comes to the apps, then alerts can be pushed out. More and more apps are showing up everyday. |

Epocrates and Graffitio are the two non-game programs I've installed. ePocrates is as its palm counterpart, though I think it has more features than my palm version (I don't have my iPhone on me to check). For example, it shows pics of all the pills which is excellent. I can imagine showing a patient the picture to verify that they're taking that pill (of course generics complicate matters).
Graffitio is a social program. Creates virtual walls based on location for you to write anonymous comments (like... graffiti). Requires enough people using it to make it interesting, of course. I'll give it a try, though the triangulation of the original iPhones makes locations vague. I doubt it'll work on its own, though Facebook or another popular networking site should incorporate the idea into their own program. Anyone used a movie listing or concert listing program that works WELL and is free or cheap? |

Enigmo - amazing strategy puzzle game that gets a lil complex
band - Fun lil app, a lil disappointing as it got old fast Aol Radio - Enjoyable GLobal Radio Station (CBS own'd ones that is) Trism - Fun, Time killing Enjoyment Aqua Forest - Amazing Elements game Chopper - Love the controls, feel of the game Cube Runner - a nice lil time killing accelrometer game TapTap - like GH, but more tapish Airpra Feint - for a free game, its fun and worth it Motion X Poker - I wanted a Yahtzee game, but this one is addictive and great for small bursts of time Sketches - a nice sketch program, has lots of features Apple's Texas hold em - its a different AI than the 5th gen Ipod Texas Holdem Game, still fun More Cowbell - speaks for itself Bubble Wrap - i thought this would be an app i would delete, but sometimes you need to pop some bubblewrap after a stressful day Remote - took awhile to figure out, got it working on my laptop itunes and it is amazing and a few more |

I've downloaded a ton of Apps. The following are keepers for me. So far, anyway.
1. Pandora Radio: this is a must. period. one of the very best. 2. Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D: hard for me, but i am getting better at it. 3. Super Monkey Ball: i am better at this than Crash Bandicoot. i love them both for different reasons. 4. Aurora Feint: awesome free game. really well executed and they should charge for it. it's that good. 5. Remote: downloaded it, but haven't tried it yet, but i hear great things about it. 6. Recordifier: great voice recorder and note taker. 7. Omnifocus: serious organizer. extremely well done. 8. Spend: very nice basic budget assistant. 9. Tomatoes: great for checking out movie reviews, theatres, etc. 10. Currency: basic utility. 11. Light: simple utility. very useful. 12. Shazam: a must. pure magic. hold it up to the radio and it will tell you what song is playing, artist, etc. fantastic. right up there with my very favorite Apps. 13. ZIPcodes: another handy dandy utility 14. Tipper: easy and fast tip 15. Solitaire Top 3: love this version of solitaire. 16. eBay: very useful. I've spent about 70 bucks on trying out a lot of Apps so far. It's been worth it, even though I eliminate a lot of them as I go. The Apps, MAKE the iPhone. Well, they don't MAKE it, but they do add a whole new level of brilliance to it. Last edited by everyman; 07-21-2008 at 12:34 AM.. |
