So who here has an iPhone? DO you have the new 3G or the old style? If you have the old style, have you upgraded to the 2.0 software yet to take advantage of all the new apps?
What apps have you downloaded that you like?
I have only been downloading free ones so far, but there are some pretty cool ones. The of the ones I like the most both basically do the same thing. They are Shazam and Midomi. With these apps you can hold your iPhone up to a music source for a few seconds and it will tell you the name of the song and the artist. With Midomi you can even hum or sing into it and it will tell you the song. So far both of these have worked 100% for me. They are really quite amazing. Once they tell you what the song is they also will link you to youtube to watch a video of the song if it exists or iTunes to purchase it if you want. It amazes me how well it works. I keep trying to stump it with obscure songs, but it guesses them every time.
There is another app called NowLocal which gives me the news relative to my current location. It shows the news going on around me at any given time.
BoxOffice is an app that shows movie times and locations as well as the Rotten Tomato rating if there is one. It will also link you to Fandango to purchase tickets.
The most useful is Reqall. This app lets you organize your life by making notes and to-do lists and lists of things you need to buy. The cool thing about Reqall is that you can record voice notes and lists and it transcribes them for you. Just speak into the phone and it writes it down for you. This is one that you don't even need an iPhone for. Just go to reQall and sign up for free. It will give you a phone number to use and you assign your email address to it. Then anytime you need to make a note you just call the 800 number and speak your note. It then transcribes it and sends it to your email. Very handy!
