Anybody else having an iphone and curious on what apps are worth getting etc?
thought maybe we could share experiences (dunno if this is the appropriate discussion forum, mods will hopefully be kind enough to move it where it should be).
Anyways , i got quite a few apps on my Iphone, all but one are free:
Bloomberg (free) : Offers most financial information one needs to be updated, very nice design, easy to navigate, nice graphs.
Wikiamoto (free): Basic wikipedia search, there is a paid ($6 ) app thats called Education that offers alls wikipedia articles downloaded and neatly composed, neat for those that doesn't have wifi acess (dont want to use 3g) but often needs a encyclopedia even in such a light format.
iTranslate (free) : Translates many languages based on google translation thingy. Requires internet\3g
Shazam (free): neat program that can "listen" to a song and then finds out what artist and title, it also offers you the possibility to buy the song from itunes. Similar to a program on some sony ericson mobiles.
Balance (free) basic account balance program. Nice to keep track of expenses. MyBudget is also free and a little more advanced.
Convert any (free) nicely designed program that converts a ton of different units\values. Currency, distances, volumes, time, weight, area are all included. Very smooth interface based on the scrolling clock thingy in iphone for selection.
FakeExcuse (free) Lets you play sounds to simulate excuses when talking on the phone with other people. Everything from driving through a tunnel and being at a restaurant to getting attacked by vicious dogs. Some sounds are rather convincing.
Touchplot (free) nice graphing tool for mathematical functions and algebra. As powerful is not more powerful than normal university mathematical calculators.
Beacon (free): Drop a beacon and iphone will remember the beacons position by GPS. Then you can navigate back to the beacon by using a radar like interface.
Touchgrind ($4) skateboard game, hard but interesting controls and gameplay
