Computers Killer aps for the iPhone? - Page 2

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?

Anyone having problems with the 2.0 upgrade? Today I tried again and once again it crashed my IPhone. I have to wait until 5:30 to get into tech support at the Apple Store to get it up and going again. This is the second time trying to download the upgrade has crashed it. Last time they said my Itunes were corrupted. I like the phone and the internet access but I cannot afford to be down for 5 hours when the download dumps it.

Don't have an iPhone, but I do have an iPod Touch. I bought Lumen, and it's totally worth it.

Thousands of puzzles to solve in it, and some are incredibly hard. Granted, some are ridiculously easy, but since there are so many to choose from, I doubt you'll ever do the same one twice.

Luckily I already had a copy of it. You can drag & drop the apps straight out of iTunes into a folder; that's the whole file! I copied it from my Mac to my wife's, then to her iPhone w/o incident. Simple drag & drop.

On the iPhone, there's an "Apps Store" icon. You connect to it, then then browse through the apps and select one. They then download onto the phone.

Just downloaded Air Sharing. It is free for the first 2 weeks. Allows you to wirelessly share files between your iPhone and computers. Pretty darn cool.

Oh damn. That's nice. Can you DL the files onto your iPhone?

That's my main issue with the iPhone at the moment, is that I want to be able to manage files with a finder and treat the thing like a hard drive if necessary. For instance, my wife uses a lot of .pdfs in her design work, and it would be nice if she could save them to the iPhone for quick presentation to people if necessary.

I know there are workarounds and apps that do it, but it annoys me that Apple didn't build that very basic functionality into it.

I transferred files between computers last night.
