iPhone apps S/D

It's good when yr bored and in one place, though. The non-persistance isn't their fault, though, Apple won't let apps run in the background. Notifications will sort that, though.

though ON IPHONE though

Evernote for iPhone is incredible, I'm also enjoying Twitterrific and Remote, I'm somewhat intrigued by Whrrl and will likely end up buying OmniFocus.

I am so afraid of this thing now

When for iPod touch, damn it :(

BoxOffice is pretty cool -- automatically determines where you are, then gives you a list of all movies playing within a certain radius of you, their start times and Rotten Tomatoes ratings.

What about this google app? Which is meant to make search easier, but for some reason is only in the US app store, and not ours?? Anyone tried it? Should UKers be miffed?

I've bought monkey ball. tempted by that cute looking piano/guitar thing too. And midomi, if it works, could be amazing.

But I can't test any of these until dhl bring me my 3g in the morning.

Evernote was fucking useless for me, I deleted it. All my notes came up in 6pt, no way to zoom. New notes also unreadable.

BoxOffice doesn't work in the UK, and I really wish it did.

Have bought bejewelled. It's as addictive as ever.

the facebook app doesn't. have. the friggin' wall.

~FAIL~

Bloomberg for iPhone is shit hot. It would be better if it you could cram all of Bloomberg Terminal onto it.

Man, a lot of apps seem to be US only. Grr.

google app seemed lame for the minute I tried it for. MLB app is great, though.

Dunno, this looks pretty slick to me. Has to be quicker/easier than googling via safari. Definitely useful enough for me to be disappointed I can't get it.

yeah, that looks pretty much like a pocket version of inquisitor

stet, what is notifications? on iPhone tho, you know?

cutty, notifications are a fake form of background processes that allow the app to communicate with apple servers, which push the message to the phone blackberry style

…i think

but that doesn't start up until september

the frmware 2.0 is unlocked apparently (has been for a while) but the tools to do this on yr own phone aren't yet released; don't know if they work ON IPHONE 3G but they will work ON IPHONE 2G

NYT app still seems a bit lame - advertising, slow, and i still can't load anything other than main news/business (and this morning the dining and wine section had disappeared completely).

is there any app for offline web browsing?

safari 2.0 basically supports it, apart from a vital bit they really need to release.

Yeh, I've given up on NYT app, especially since AP mobile news caches everything perfectly for subway reading. Got that Bloomberg app too, and it's really impressive -- first of the news apps I saw that wouldn't be nearly as good as a webapp

facebook app, on a phone with a fully featured web browser? what am i missing?

It integrates with the camera. w00t

Scratch is even more disappointing than I thought it would be!

Am kind of in love with Whrrl and iPint. BofA, Google and Facebook are exactly what I expected (which is good).

guys, is anyone getting upside down photos in Flickr when uploaded from iphone?

Ooh, I'd missed BoA. Could be useful. Still disappointed with NYT. Presumably some of these GTD/todo ones are good, but I'll wait to see reviews.

btw Dan I now understand why you thought the cell-phone location psuedo-GPS was lame - in Chicago it was generally within a block, but in Cambridge it can't do better than getting the right city!

haha yes, v.v. frustrating

Trying to Whrrl my neighborhood in Somerville and getting Medford = uh thx for that but I wanted over here...

15-20 mins to sync - that would explain it, I guess. Could be good for offline browsing, though, but only if synced via wifi, I think.

okay that URL = awesome

so glad I a) did not get a new iPhone, and b) downloaded iTunes and the firmware upgrade last night

yeah, too right. would be more than a little annoying to have a bricked phone.

(actually i did go home in the middle of activating yesterday and was temporarily bricked, but sorted as soon as i got back online. could well take a lot longer for people today.)

Oh it IS annoying.

Oh yes. It is. Especially when I've got to go and get a train in about an hour, and will then be offline until Monday.

Last time I try to do new-apple-product-on-day-one, this.

This is why I never try to do ANY new techie product on day one; working in software has made me JADED.

Oh, something weird just happened. Plugged in again, and even though the apple store is still failing on me, the phone started up this time.

Still can't see itunes, so can't sync anything. But it seems to be working happily apart from that.

oh shit, it's working!!

SSSSSHHHHHHH

Ok, maps being able to pinpoint my location to within about 50 yards is very impressive.

only problem is that my .mac account hasn't really turned into a .me account yet, so i'm a little sketched-out about trusting the push synchronization. we'll see how it goes ... but i can see my calendars on the phone right now which is pretty dope.

Is this worth unjailbreaking for?

I've been looking at the same headlines on this shitty NYT app since yesterday morning. 15 minutes to update? FFS, the thing goes to sleep twice in that time. How much data is it downloading? What a crock of shit.

Can't get into me.com at all.

Appstore is, Casuistry, haven't seen any apps like this for installer.app

nyt mobile site is actually pretty good, if you've never used it, fwiw. 15 mins is a total joke though.

what's the consensus on the worth of mobileme? folks who have - why'd you buy it?

i think you need it for "push synchronization"?

i'm not at all a technical guy, so i just wanted to be able to have sync'd email, calendars, contacts and notes between phone, home computer and work computer. since they're all macs i figured it was the easiest way to go.

i've had .mac forever for the syncing between computers. now that it syncs to the phone wirelessly w/ push, even better. i still use my gmail as my main contact, though.

Just now it's pointless. Can't get in at all in Safari, can just about with Firefox. I wonder if my email-only account is causing problems.

I'm thinking about buying it just for the sync calendars. An exchange set up would be cheaper, but you know, yeuch.
