I am a proud owner of a new iPhone. And yet, I need advice. In fact, I turned on commenting so that you can spill your guts. One problem, however, is that since I don't post often, my readership may have dwindled. It's possible. Good Lord, what if no one leaves a comment because no one is reading my power blog?Deep breath - I cannot fret over things that I cannot control. I must proceed down the path with armed with courage, and hope for added strength beyond the bend - Exhale . . .
So give me your advice on good iPhone apps. Here are my needs:
* I want a few fun games to play for when I'm waiting in line at the soup kitchen.
* I want to track sporting events when I'm out and about. I'd like an app that lets me listen to football games on the radio, or a gamecast-type apps that tells me what the score is and who has the ball and that kind of thing.
* Any other iPhone app that you recommend.
Come on, let it out.

I really don't use that many apps... but here are the main ones I use. Bolded are favorites, and all of them are free except the brain one at the end.

Which andriod device Don? And if it's Droid, do you like it or love it, and more than the iPhone? I'm considering making the change. Esp since I am not happy with AT&T.
ReplyDeleteFunny that I'm thinking of changing away from an Apple phone, and to a mac computer. Hahaha.

ReplyDeleteI probably won't have an iPhone until y'all have moved on to something else.

ReplyDeletefor the iphone, i have nothing useful to offer. btw, i just learned how to poach eggs with my blackberry.
You think you can just turn on comments and have us back? Oh, who am I kidding, I could never stay mad at you, Bob.
ReplyDeleteiFart - juvenile, yes, but best $1 you'll ever spend. If it doesn't create some quality father / son bonding, I don't know what will.

Can anyone recommend the well-priced Remote Management utility for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: [url=http://www.n-able.com] N-able N-central system management
ReplyDelete[/url] ? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
Thanks for your comments, everyone. When I'm done evaluating all the recommended apps, I'll add a new blog entry that lists my favorites -- with comments turned on!
ReplyDeleteDoodleJump - I play this game more than my use of all other apps combined. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteKindle - Preview, buy and read books from amazon.com on your phone. Second-most-used app.
Amazon - iPhone-specific app for amazon.com. Good if you buy practically everything on amazon.com, which I do.
Also, put fatcyclist.com on your home page. Here's how:
1. Go to the Safari app.
2. Enter fatcyclist.com in the URL textbox.
3. Press the "+" icon in the bar at the bottom of the screen.
4. Choose the Add to Home Screen" button.
5. Choose the Add button in the top-right corner.
Now you can go to my blog, right from your iPhone!
That's very exciting!!!
Some advice based on two of your friendly commenters: go to your blog dashboard, then settings, then comments, then answer "yes" to "Show word verification for comments".
ReplyDeleteUnless that's you being all crazy or something, asking for advice on Management Utility or recommending we seek out high yields.
See how far comments have gone downhill since you've had them off?
Don't get an iPhone. They're lame. That's my advice, and I'm sticking to it.
