My first iPhone

Finally got the new iPhone. I went for the 32 gig 3GS. I absolutely love it - but that was a forgone conclusion.

I need Apps recommendations. I can't stop downloading Apps until I personally finance Steve Jobs home renovation.

mmmm... iphone....

favourite games so far: flightcontrol, rolando 2, fieldrunners.

other apps: what the font (take a photo of some text and it'll identify the font), ireddit (very well made reddit app), ego (lets you instantly check google analytic stats on your phone, plus feedburner stats and a couple of other services, vlc remote (control vlc player via wifi, negates getting off the couch to pause films. there's also one for itunes), ted (all the ted talks - again, very well made), occasions (alerts for upcoming birthdays, anniversaries etc), simplify media (streams your itunes library to your iphone).

there's also ihandy level: it turns the iphone into a spirit level. i'll never use it productively but the fact that it works will always fascinate me.

An amazing remote desktop application (setup is a little tricky but only b/c Kaspersky keeps my pc locked down like a tank)

I could go on and on, but, and i said this a while ago, i really recommend jail-breaking your phone. yeah yeah yeah it voids the warranty but i've been jailbreaking/upgrading mine for a year with no problems.

here's a video link,

Worms just came out for the iPhone, though I have to say that games on the iPhone just don't do it for me...

There's a free Shakespeare app which has all of the plays, searchable, on it. Very cool.

The weatherchannel is also a great one, also free.

I don't know if Yelp and Urbanspoon work in your part of the world, but they are great in the US. Yelp is a service review system, very neat and plugs straight onto the maps when you've got the place you wanna go. Urbanspoon is this fun restaurant finder (but I believe it might be US only).

Obviously, Facebook, Shazam and of course Skype, which is really cool. The Skype is particularly nice if you are traveling abroad and don't want to pay for long-distance overseas. The catch is that I don't think it works without wireless, but getting a wireless signal is pretty common these days...

I can't believe you pay for some of this stuff. Hell, I can't believe wifi management isn't built in.
