Just got an iPhone for Christmas so this thread is helpful! Can't wait to try out the Google voice search! And I'm already loving Pandora!
One that I don't think I saw mentioned that I am trying out is ESPN ScoreCenter...'cause it's free. Does anyone have any app they like better for checking sports scores? Fortunately for me, I'd just be checking NFL, MLB, NBA...though this has lots of other sports teams (like NHL, NCAA football & basketball, WNBA, soccer, even rugby!) you can add as well. |
My favorite aftermarket apps include (in alphabetical order):
Convertbot Dragon Dictation ESPN ScoreCenter Instapaper Kayak 1st MLB At Bat New York Times Pandora Red Laser Slacker Skype The Weather Channel WiFi Track XE Currency |

Also check for the program "ScoreMobile" - also free, good for checking scores!
Just got Words with Friends too! I'm afraid I'll get too addicted if I get that ATC game everyone's been talking about in here ;) |
Cartopia
If you are in the market for a used car, this free app is interesting -

Wine Vintage Chart / Guide
Can anyone recommend a good Wine Guide app? I have the Wine Spectator Vintage Chart in my wallet, but thought that an app might be really useful for business dinners. There are a number of them available in the App Store, and I'm willing to purchase one, but would appreciate some suggestions.

London? or is there another TFL? :-)
If you're looking for a London public transport app, Malcolm Barclay made some really great apps: Tube Deluxe and London Bus. I also regularly use iCarRadio Lite so I can get UK Radio 4 as there is no radio on the iphone, but i can also use it abroad using hotel wifi etc to get my fix! I have LogMeIn which is great, and PdaNet (jb phone). Also Dropbox, and Shakespeare (the full works free) for travel reading. |
iVideoCamera for 99 cents!!!
It brings full video recording functionality to 3G and 2G iPhones. I never heard of it until I looked at the top 25 paid apps list and it was sitting at #1. I guess it recently came out with an update that has improved the frame rate to where it is pretty good on the low quality setting. I just shot a couple videos on LQ and you can add it to camera roll, send it to various social networking sites, email it or wifi transfer it to your computer. No MMS capabilities - hopefully that can be addressed in the next update. Here is a good review of it: http://www.technewsworld.com/story/6...wlc=1263530044 Make sure to buy through your favorite shopping site. UA gives 2 miles per iTunes $, AA gives 3 miles, etc. etc. Good way to extend miles in a lesser-used FF account. |
Just found a cool one. Airside Express. Looks like a free beta. It gives you 1-touch check-in and 1-touch paperless boarding pass recall.

So just downloaded Evernote, which is free for the app., free Mac/Windows clients, free web account (they have premium accounts which let you store and do more). Evernote let's you put in checkboxes, which you can touch in the iPhone to check or uncheck. But the formatting doesn't look that great, it just looks like a text documents with checkboxes, whereas when I copied and pasted in the spreadsheet into an Evernote note, it looked like a nice table/spreadsheet. As soon as it was saved, it looked like plain text both on the web and on the iPhone. Premium account promises to handle spreadsheets better but not interested in paying $5 a month for that (don't want to pay anything ;)). *** EN is a general notes thing so it handles lists or to-do lists okay but probably not as well as some dedicated list apps. But the price and other features may make it worthwhile.

I have a paid Evernote account and use it some. But I use SpeedList for packing lists. It is great. It lets you have sublists (I have them for various packing tools such as Eagle Creek folders and pouches carrying things) and copy items or sublists from one list to another. It is really, really nice. I thoroughly recommend it.

Bar none, my favorite app is "Ratio" by Michael Ruhlman, the chef extraordinaire. It's pricey, but invaluable for people who love to cook without strict recipe's.

I will be heading to Japan in October... any recommendations on apps for getting around or is the map feature the best they have.

That was going to be my next question about the data roaming. I will probably pay for international usage for the month that I am visiting (figure it will be worth it for the 11 days I am there). As for what I am looking for exactly it would be something that helps me easily navigate the streets by walking and helping me find good local places to visit (the museums and tourist places I know about). When going on the public transportation I generally can get by (at least I hope the New Yorker in me hasn't been flushed completely out in Houston) but once I get off the train I find the map function on the iPhone to be great here in the states. Just didn't know if there was a good one for Japan that people found that highlighted good restaurants/bars/local spots that kind of thing.

http://www.google.com/mobile/voice/ But VoiceCentral (still beta) looks much better - like a native app. |
