I thought it might be a cool idea to get through a list of applicatons i’m using on the iPhone and what each application does. Sometimes it’s hard to get an idea of what iPhone apps you should try out, so here goes my list.

Recycled: iTunes, iPod, iPhone.. iChoose?
Original post date: 2008-07-05
Recycled for Recycle A Blog Post Day
Something just occurred to me this evening and it has to do with software companies and the monopoly ‘lock in’ tactics that some use. Microsoft was pulled up over forcing Internet Explorer on people in XP many moons ago now and I’m sure we’re all completely happy with how it eventually turned out, most of us use Firefox and Windows now recognises something called a ‘default browser’.
Fast forward a few years and we’ve seen Apple since day one, ram iTunes down the throat of every ipod owner in the world. This was understandable, after all it’s a portable music player and it only ran on OSX to start with, so it’s ok to force a music player that’s already installed on the operating system along with the device to provide sync support, in fact it totally makes sense. That is until they released on windows and iTunes wasn’t that great, also for years we’ve all been using Winamp or Windows Media Player and have no desire to switch to iTunes.
You Don’t Need Find The Phone Apps..
Last night mid-way through my train ride home i had a sudden realisation, i had no idea where my phone was and I left the office with it, OUCH. The though patterns started to retrace, etc. I got off the train a stop early and shot to my parents house to use their phone to try call it, unfortunately the battery on my phone was dead.
Sitting at my parents house I started to realise where it got to and convinced my mum to drive me 40 odd minutes back to work and wait for me while I looked everywhere for it. You can be assured I didn’t find it and in a way I’m kind of retrospectively happy about it. Continue reading

iPhoneOS 3.0
So finally it’s here, Turn-by-turn directions, Bluetooth A2DP, MMS and Push notifications amongst other things. Apple are really pulling out the big guns here and it’s nice to see we’re finally starting to get a phone thats feature set is on-par with the rest of the devices out there.
Coupe all this with the fact i’m really starting to not hate the iPhone as much as i used too, because i barely use iTunes anymore and i might just start to be happy with my purchase. You can check out some pictures of what’s coming over at Engadget and also see Apple‘s iPhone 3.0 Preview Presentation.
iPhone 3G & The Case Lineup
I bit the bullet on Friday and traded to an iPhone, after all the iTunes bullshit (i’m seriously over it!) the phone has been fantastic, no problems so far and it just WORKS. The phone just working is a big thing coming from Windows Mobile where sometimes things just dont work for some stupid reason or another, so it’s really nice to just pick it up, press a button and BAM! the screeen is on straight away and everything responds as soon as you touch it, Windows Mobile device manufacturers have alot to learn from this.
