In order to be able to watch movies on an Iphone, they need to be saved onto the Iphone itself in the MP4 format. This makes it much easier to download movies to watch rather than transfer them from your DVDs, as many downloadable movies will be in MP4 format already. If you do want watch your existing movies (DVDs) on your Iphone, it can still be done, it will just mean you need to obtain some ripping software to rip the movie from the DVD and convert it into the necessary kind of file.

My fav is the Mint app. It allows me to always see what is going on with my money. I also use the NY Times everyday.

Perhaps one of the main reasons so many people buy the iPhone is for the fact that it allows you to stay connected to the world in so many dynamic ways. Instead of simply using the phone to connect with your friends, you can do so through text messaging and even e-mail. However, one of the best ways to keep your online life moving, even when you’re on the move, is by using social networking sites.
Engadget reports (via the consumer and retail research company NPD Group) that Apple’s iPhone 3G has moved into the top slot for U.S. domestic sales of cellular handsets. According to NPD, this is the first time in 10 years that Motorola’s RAZR handset has not been the number one cellular phone on the hearts and minds of American consumers. The shift seems to indicate that U.S. consumers are more interested in more complex devices that offer a wider array of features. A massive advertising campaign certainly hasn’t hurt Apple’s chances, either. Even though overall handset sales have fallen 15 percent since the 2007 Christmas season, Apple still must be happy that when it comes to taste making and trendsetting gadget style, they’ve still got it. Eventually – with more than a little help from Steve Jobs – America’s handset choices may truly be full-featured when compared with what customers in Asian countries have enjoyed for years. Yet when it comes to choices for things like short-term payday cash loans, Americans have a wide array from which to choose. With a tough economy and the approaching Christmas shopping season, some people will look for a little help until payday. When taken with care and responsibility, this payday cash can be a very useful tool, much like an iPhone.

Very nice, all of these.
It is a shame that apple made it harder to get to the free apps in the appstore.

Hey, glad you like Urbanspoon! We've put out a fix for the map issue you were seeing. Hope that helps!

Hmmm, yeah, you're right, I just checked via the iphone for updates
and saw one, but through iTunes there were about six. Time to sync.

Since you're mentioning annoyances, some of these apps sure crash
often. I was using Last FM and every couple of songs or so it would
hang and I'd have to quit and start over. The other day, the NYTimes
seemed frozen - never updataing, and Twitterlator crashed my whole
phone once.

Yeah, G-Park was that app you were telling me about earlier. It's a
buck, so I'll add it to my list of paid apps to get. Thanks for
commenting as always...!

Here's my sadness around the updates at the AppStore - we submitted a new version of iGraffiti ( http://tinyurl.com/igraffiti ) about 9 days ago - and it's STILL not updated. Twittelator went in about 4 days ago ( http://tinyurl.com/twittelator )

I like the auto-update as well. But be aware, sometimes the updates don't get there as quickly as you might think. I found that iTunes on my Mac finds several updates that the iPhone itself doesn't. Maybe there's a delay before they get pushed out to the mobile AppStore? I don't know.

So I downloaded all the updates on my Mac, and then synched them to the iPhone. Not nearly as elegant as it should be.

I also hate how it ignores my organization on the home screens and just downloads the updates into the next available slot.

I find the Talking Phrasebooks in various languages somewhat useful. Good for picking up common usage phrases, anyway. And they're free. Might be enough to get you by when traveling. The nice feature is that you get recordings of the phrases being spoken, rather than just the text.

I keep wanting to try out G-Park, but I forget to mark my spot at the time I'm parking. I imagine this is a very useful little app for those of us who forget where we park all the time.

I agree that the best is most certainly yet to come.

Thanks for the info. I'm liking the way apps update on iPhone, without
needing to be synced to a computer – very handy.

Cool, more recommendations. I haven't tried out NetTewsWire or Aurora Feint
- the latter one showed up pretty recently. I can dig a good game. Gee – I
may have to do a follow up post after more free app testing.

Glad you like Twittelator!

We sent Apple Store Version 1.1 which has some GREAT new features – which you can read about here: http://www.stone.com/Twittelator/Twittelator_Ne... and see Screenshots here: http://www.stone.com/Twittelator/Twittelator_Sc....

Oh – here's the Twittelator icon that you can scale any size for your blog: http://www.stone.com/Twittelator/images/twittel...

I love NetNewsWire. It references my Newsgator account so my read/unread feed status remains synced across the iPhone, my Mac and web. However, the only reason it's "better" than google reader is the post to blog feature on the Mac app. :/

I love BoxOffice, but I'll give that Movies one a try... wouldn't mind checking out trailers and such.

Did you try Aurora Feint? http://aurorafeint.com/

Cool, I'll check out the Jibro games. Yeah, I think having an idea of a wait
time at a restaurant would be awesome – maybe really popular joints could
install a web cam that one could take a peek at using an iPhone.

Good list. I'm enjoying this Jibro Match game. Mainly because my daughter loves to play it. I find that when I'm driving her in the car or when we're at a restaurant waiting for food, she'll ask to play. It's a great way to occupy a kid for a short period of time (wait...am I being a bad parent?).

I'm also enjoying using the iPhone optimized websites out there. I've found a few good lists from other bloggers, but it would be fun to know your list of iPhone websites at some point (meebo for instance, has turned out to be very useful, and there are multiple iphone optimized versions of nextbus that i'm messing with too).

I love the local apps like urbanspon, yelp and iwant. I find myself now wanting an app that will tell me how full a restaurant is (for example, if i'm going to a cafe...are there tables/seats available?). I know, sounds ludicrous but now that I have all this info at my fingertips, I'm getting greedy and want EVEN MORE DATA.
