iPhone envy

[elevatethis]

I'm a Blackberry user (I use it for business email and can't use a touch screen to save my life), but what is appealing about the iPhone is that I would be able to integrate my cell phone, ipod, and sirius stiletto all in one device. Right now, carrying a Bb, mp3 player, and satelite radio handheld at the same time is rediculous. I'm probably going to end up getting one when my contract permits, even if it means jumping on the Apple iDouche-wagon.

For mindless addiction I have 2 words for you.....Paper Toss

I was a Blackberry fanboy...Everything they put out I wanted...The iPhone kills the BB as far as usability. I use it for everything!

I would love to get an IPHONE but I will NEVER do business with AT&T. Having worked for AT&T for many years it is safe to say that it would literally have to be over my dead body.

Hopefully one of these days either they will be available thru other companies, or one of the competitors will step up with something comparable. Until then I will survive just fine WITHOUT AT&T in my life! In my area I swear by Sprint. But yes, their phones suck.

Good question! The list of apps I regularly use:

I'll toss a couple on that stack:

Stanza - ebook reader with tons of available content (both legal and grey market)

CoolIris - OpenGL based image viewer

are they worth the $0.99 or were they free?

[flipstud]

or rather...is $0.99 expensive for an app?

Both are free

I am completely addicted to my iphone. It has solved any issue I ever had about forgetting my phone.

Some of my favorite apps:

Twittelator Pro - I am also addicted to twitter and this is by far my favorite twitter app, although Tweetdeck is a good free option, just doesn't do as much.

Pandora

Evernote

Alarm Lite - I use this so that I have a visible clock while lecturing and as an alarm clock when traveling (although alarm is not very loud). Must be plugged in for overnight use.

TextFree Lite - I don't text very often and usually only to one or two people, so I don't have a texting plan. With this app all texts that you send are free, and if your friend also has the app and uses it, the texts that you receive from them will also be free. Saving me lots of money this summer as our friends are in Germany and the kids are using it to keep in touch.

Read it Later - I use this on both pc & iphone to save links (articles, blog posts etc) so I don't forget to go back & read them.

Amazon Kindle - turns iphone into kindle.

Flight Status - not free, but very handy if you travel a lot or if you make frequent airport runs to pick up others.

Wordpress - to keep blog updated. I haven't actually used this yet - I don't blog often and I usually want to add lots of pics.

Epicurious - cool recipe app - will generate a shopping list for you.

Pocket Informant Lite - great app that has calendar and to do list together in one place.

PayPal - Just found this (Thanks Lew!!) Can now easily use PayPal at shows.

Google Earth - just plain cool

Edit: Just added Stanza - looks very cool!

The 'AroundMe' app is by far the most used program on my iPhone
