There's an app for that.

[Bun-bun]

Ok, so I just moved into the 21st century and got an iphone.
I know there are a lot of folks on this board that have 'em.
What are some of your favorite/most used apps?
Where do you get your apps? itunes store, amazon, etc.









Sorry if this is a derby, I did a search and came up empty.

Just wondering why you bought one now and didn't wait for the new one to come out in June?

I wanted to get one for a graduation present to myself and now am waiting.

I'm trying to get the most information possible.  Maybe the 3GS is enough for me?

app store on iTunes.

[Bun-bun]

app store on iTunes.

Which has hundreds of apps. Which apps do you have and use/enjoy most?

I got an offer on the 3g I couldn't refuse, and I'm not the most hi-tech guy in the world. I'm sure this'll do me for years.
My previous phone was bought in 2001.

<EDITED>



Metallimonster,


AT&T's 3g network sucks.


I don't think it matters if you have a 3G or 3GS

also remember not all data speeds are available in all markets.


I just got some new demo Air Card from AT&T. It is supposed to be "faster" then the other 3g cards. However, there are currently only 10 markets where this device will work. One of them is Miami, FL and I happen to be going there right after I got the card.

It make the beast with two backsing sucked.

Faster network? Um, no.
More connection issues? Um, yes.



I manage 700+ phones through AT&T and their coverage sucks.

I have a Bold 9700 3g through AT&T
Wife has a Blackberry Tour through Sprint.

we always race to see who can load or find something quicker on the internet from our phones.


I lose every make the beast with two backsing time by at least 10 seconds.


I'd wait til Sprint releases the I-Phone. I think it is later this year or next year, probably whenever the exclusive agreement with AT&T expires.

email me at my work addy if you want more information as it is not allowed in this thread.

You can also get apps from the app store on the phone itself.

I have IMDB, Skype, Facebook, google, several medical apps, etc...

[Randimus Maximus]

Mainly stupid shit like Facebook.  

Actually, if you go to the app store, in the search area, you can find a list of the top free apps.  All of them will have ratings.  

I do use Shazam quite a bit (music identification), Urbanspoon (restaurants), WeatherBug, Sportacular, Trailguru (mapping app for hiking, biking, running, etc.).

I'd go look for some free apps.  Try them out.  If you don't like them, delete them.

And I'm not sure what's CB's post has to do with apps other than he feels that AT&T's network sucks.

[Randimus Maximus]

And why hasn't anyone created a DMF app yet?

[metallimonster]

I know the first App I'm going to download is the Austin Carr soundboard.

"If at first you don't succeed, then throw the hammer down!"

For most of you this won't make sense but Austin Carr is an old Cavaliers player who now does color for the FSN broadcasts of Cavs games and he is freaking hilarious.

40cozy.com's pour1out iPhone app

Do you ever wish you could pour one out for a homie, but don't have a 40oz nearby? Wait, you just bought a $200 phone, do you even know what a 40 of malt liquor is? Either way, now you can impress your friends with how “street” you are by pouring one out next time Tupac or Biggie is bumping

also an important innovation-

The OP has the phone and asked about apps.   how does your rant about ATT sucking help in any way?  Oh wait...because you like to point out how everything sucks so it helps your ego...right.

I talk on the phone for work while reading emails all the time...love it and have had no problems in the DC/Balto metro area.

But to apps...   use runkeeper all the time...tracks runs and gives audio feedback to pace and distance while playing music.

radarscope.  nice to see what's coming when on the Bay.

photovault...for the pics you don't want anyone else to see if you forget your phone somewhere.

weatherbug...good weather app.

docs to go.  if you need to edit word/excel/pdf on your iphone.

soundhound..for figuring out name of song and artist playing so you can buy song later.

I've got a bunch of boat specific ones like buoydata, shipfinder, wind meter.

words with friends...for fun scrabble games with folks when you have a minute.

Unfortunately, there's no app for Cyrus.


Sounds like weatherbug and skype are popular. What about games?

My post was aimed at my friend Metallimonster who was talking about buying an I-phone now or waiting for the new model.

It was not directed at apps.


Sorry I didnt make it more clear.

and yes, pointing out that something sucks helps my ego in some way I am not aware of. Guess I better go see a shrink. Thanks for the advice 

[faolan01]

the apps I use the most are:

Facebook
Cycle World
Evernote
Goodreads
OpenTable
The Onion
Google
Wine Notes
Yelp
IMDb
Siri
MakeUseOf
Cartoon-Wars

as much as I can't stand the Mac OS, I love the iPhone OS.

Oh, and the network totally depends on where you are. Here in Boston AT&T is by far the fastest and most reliable. I switched after years of Verizon dropping calls, loosing text messages, and basically being painfully terrible, and I have never regretted it.

+1 Cyrus is an expert on everything, but he can't be everywhere at once. He might know someone that lives in every squared area of the country to tell him that AT&T sucks everywhere. Sprint sucked ass where I live and Verizon coast me about $60 more than similar service with AT&T. Have never used T-Mobile, but the grass is always greener.

ANyway, about apps, I'm a cheap ass so I tend to download only free stuff. Been looking for a free SoundHound now for a while, but have never found it. These are the ones I use constantly:

Facebook
AroundMe - like the yellow pages, but only for stuff in the general vesinity
Google
Pandora - Free internet radio (awesome)
Photobucket
Weather Channel
TM Zero - someone here posted it and they continually update with free new maps.
