iPhone envy

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

OH MY GOD that game is so addictive... WHY??? I don't get it, you just throw paper in a trash bin... YET I AM ADDICTED!!

I use AT&T, my contract expired and... AT&T pretty much exists for the iPhone now. Most of their other phones/deals are crap. So... here I am

Here's the apps I recommend...

iBird Explorer (cost $10 for the regional versions, but I definitely do not regret buying it, being the bird-watching geek that I am. I use this ALL the time. I highly recommend it if you are a birdwatcher - it is less expensive and easier to use than a bird field guide, and comes with bird songs and a very useful search function that lets you search by color, size, location, shape, etc.)

Yelp (free - I like Yelp way better than AroundMe for finding restaurants because it shows you reviews.)

Bebot (it's $1.99... BUT IT'S SO ADDICTIVE... my dad got it on his iPhone, and I couldn't resist getting it on mine. What is it... well, it's a singing robot. I can't explain it, but it's awesome, just go download it already! )

Remote (free - if you play comp games in full screen, for example WoW, the Sims, Oblivion, etc... this will control your iTunes for you externally so you don't have to alt-tab all the time to change your music.)

Paper Toss (free - like I said... you have to play it to understand its addictiveness.)

Craigsphone (free - Now you can hound the "pets" section for reptile supplies everywhere you go!! Haha... isn't that what everybody here uses craigslist for!? I know that's what I do...)

Word Warp (free - Very addictive if you're into word games. I play it all the time waiting for buses, doctors offices, etc.)

Wild West (free - A pinball game so good, you won't believe that it's free...)




Supposedly TomTom is coming out soon with a car-view GPS for the iPhone, with a mount that you can stick on your dashboard. Can't wait for that, and I will definitely buy it. The GPS apps suck as of right now.

I haven an Iphone and personally think it's one of the better phones I've used as far as the applications and possibilities it offers..It's definitely up there in that catagory..but as far as performance and reliability..I've had a few issues with it..Thankfully my fiance knows how to fix almost anything..lol..and he managed to fix the problems..(At least for now..lol)..But overall..I guess it's a pretty good phone.. :0)

I second this! I was just thinking that the other day.

I was thinkin about that a loooong time ago. Problem is, I can't quite figure out what it would ummm, do? You can already get BP.net on Safari. beyond that..there's nothing else you would need to do

I'm thinking of a "mobile" version of BP.net that's easier to navigate on a mobile phone - this could work on any PDA. Then the app is simple enough after that. For example, the Amazon app is pretty similar to what you'd see if you access Amazon from Safari on the iPhone.

But this would just be a mobile version of the vBulletin forum style, so maybe they'd be the ones to talk to about it?

[Nate]

Yeah, there already is a mobile theme which is pretty dumbed down to nothing more than text and colors.

Now, an app that keeps track of your reptiles....that's more practical. But, what does it tie into?

C'mon Degei! Step in to the Mac world

Nate, you might be onto something there. I know the guy who runs iHerp programs all of his own stuff; I wonder if he'd be up to writing an app? I think I'll contact him and ask.
