I am late to this but I have to say, Shazam is amazing! And free! I’m also really digging PageOnce; love the snapshot views of online accounts. Oh, and Allrecipes.com, if you like easy access to all sorts of meal ideas. And for vicarious enjoyment (for me), Snow Reports so I can see what the snow pack is like in places where there is a snow pack.
I really do heart my iPhone!
Chuck and I have discovered a new thing to do with (small amounts) of our money. Buy third party apps for the iPhone! Having exhausted all of the free offerings we have moved on to low-cost silly stuff. Two current faves:
The iPhone 3G has been out since Friday, and we still haven’t been able to even touch one, much less buy one. The at&t stores have been sold out within 15 minutes of opening since the Friday launch, and the wait at the Apple Store is a couple of hours.
I decided to spend the remainder of my tax stimulus check upgrading, but the challenge will clearly be to actually find a store that has them in stock and where I won’t go grey(er) waiting. *sigh* I actually may do alright in this upgrade. If I can sell my iPhone 2G for $200 on craigslist, I’ll pretty much break even.
In the meantime, I’ll have to settle for playing around with the iPhone 2.0 software and third party apps. My fave downloads so far (all free):
The apps all work well, but I have noticed that they drain my iPhone’s battery. Since I have this enforced wait to satisfy my iPhone fix, I am now leaning toward a 16GB in white (you can only get white in the 16GB size). It’s dumb, but the white one will show a lot fewer fingerprints, etc, than the black.
Argh! All of this talk has made me think maybe I will go stand in that three hour long line at the Apple Store after all…
