iPhone Apps I Need

rossboardman — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 12:49:06 +0000

After a day (wasn’t working for me yesterday) playing with the iPhone 2.0 update I’m pretty happy with the lastest round of changes.

I’ve been playing with Twittelator, twitterific and Exposure apps this morning and they are all really well put together.

iPint is just eye candy for showing off to your mates (how long will they pretend their Sony Ericssons are good enough?).

I would love to be able to create these types of apps but for not I’ll stick to begging for someone else to do it. I will forever be in their gratitude/will definately pay if someone could help with the following apps…

If anyone hears of any efforts that are currently under way to port these apps could you please let me know??

iPhone is Flickr's top cameraphone

We’ve mentioned a bunch of surveys in the past that have shown that iPhone users lurv surfing the web and using the media functions of their handsets, but there’s another feature that appears to fly under the radar, and that’s the iPhone’s camera. I just had a discussion about this with a friend last night, who commented—completely subjectively—that the iPhone took the best pictures. There are certainly phones out there with better cameras, but the iPhone makes it pretty easy—and, at times, fun, even—to take your pictures and upload them to an Internet sharing site like Flickr. Which is why it’s not exactly a shocker that the iPhone has become the most popular cameraphone on the photo site, topping the former champ, the Nokia N95. As Flickr itself points out, the data is hardly foolproof, since it depends on the camera itself reporting the information—Flickr says they usually get some data about two-thirds of the time. Still, I know that I’ve found my iPhone’s camera features handy and easy-to-use, and I’ve uploaded a few pics to Flickr in the past, so I’ve got no trouble believing that plenty of others are as well.
