iPhone and apps
well I’ve had the iPhone 3G for three weeks now, and have added some apps from the app store, some free, some purchased.
I purchased Super Monkey Ball and have only played it a few times. I was curious. Probably the best purchase I made was “Comic Touch” by plasq, it lets me add little comic notes to pics taken with the iPhone camera. VERY cool, especially when you’ve got a baby girl as a subject!
Some free apps I’ve installed include “remote” which lets you control itunes or appletv from your iPhone. “Here I Am” which e-mails a friend your current location for them to see on a google map (brilliant).
Tap Tap Revenge (fun game), Facebook App, Google App, AIM, Wordpress, VNC lite, WritingPad, GarageBuy, Labyrinth, ZIPcodes, Shazam, Paypal, IGN Reviews and AirME.
Lets look at some of those free apps I’ve installed. Facebook App is just excellent and I use it all the time. I can take a photo with the iPhone right inside that app and it instantly uploads it to my Facebook profile. Google App is not bad for finding something near your current location. AIM for chatting with mates (iChat), Wordpress for updating blogs, VNC lite for connecting to my computers remotely which is neat and works really well. WritingPad is just a novelty note-taker with brilliant UI. GarageBuy from the makers of GarageSale is a great eBay client app for bidding/watching/searching. Labyrinth is an amazing game with super smooth controls! ZIPcodes… blah blah, I can’t be bothered writing any more. *sigh* I’m going to go make a tea.
The iPhone is awesome the app store is awesome.. I’m just loving this!
