Computers Killer aps for the iPhone? - Page 3

NewChief · 09-05-2008, 10:21 AM

My wife finally got her beloved iPhone. I admit that I can't stop playing with the thing either. Anyone have any favorite apps? I've downloaded some freebies: facebook, wikipedia, sports updates, flashlight.

What are some must haves that are actually worth paying for?

Damn fine application.

HUGE improvement over the previous version.

FYI: new phonesaber out; still $0

Fewer colors, but now you can choose saber based on character (5 diff from the new Star Wars game)

Fun, useless, geeky.

They really improved the facebook app. If you like to keep track of stocks and your 401K. Download the Bloomberg app. Nice app.

Air Mouse is GREAT
I have a macbook hooked up to my living room TV and I can use my iphone as a mouse right from the couch. Left and right mouse buttons, scroll pad, and keyboard. This app works very well.

Shazam is possibly the coolest app I've ever seen. I have no clue of how it even works. Basically you launch it while a song is playing, and it will tell you title, artist, and album of the song. I listen to a lot of indy/college radio, and the DJs are bad about identifying song and artist. I can launch the app, and it takes about 10 seconds for the iPhone to tell me the info on the song.

I can't tell you how many times I hear songs out in public or on the TV or in a move, and I want to know who the song is by. Now I can use Shazam to find out. Very freaking cool.

Google Earth iPhone app was just released today. Looks pretty nice.

I want an app that finds the damned thing when it's stolen or lost. I lost my wife's yesterday. We think I set it on top of the car after we'd been on a trail. Within 30 minutes, it must have been found, becaues it had been turned off and was automatically going to the voicemail.

Some bastard found it and knew what to do with it.

We already bought a replacement, but we have 30 days when we can return the replacement if the old one shows up.

meh, it's ok. Without streetview it's pretty much the same as the maps feature.

Are the replacements $199? I dropped mine don a big set of tile and metal stairs at work today and put a small crack in the corner of it. Still works fine but the crack will drive me nuts.

Afraid not. $400 for a replacement, unless you're due an upgrade on your account. Our iPhone showed back up. Unfortunately it had fallen off the car and been run over. I'm supposed to go pick it up from the guy who found it tonight or tomorrow. It still works, but he said it isn't in good condition, heh. I'm going to see about a repair through the apple store, but I imagine that I'm about to have a very expensive paperweight in the near future.

If yours is a small crack, you might be able to get it fixed. I've read some reports of people having luck at the Genius Bar in their stores.

Download the game "Trace" right now. It's free and on the "top 25 free" list in app store.

I saw this on digg today:

Opera Browser Not Allowed in iPhone App Store

I've always been amazed at how Apple can simultaneously be so in tune in setting new boundaries for computing while simultaneously not "getting it" at all.
