iphone apps
I am thinking about getting an iphone. Are there any free apps that you guys find really helpful that I should consider getting?

Doc, there are lots of really useful apps that I like. For example, Sicboater set me up at the NC get together with an app that lets me get into the SRP chat from my phone. Very elementary for some of our propeller heads but good for me
. There are something like 65K apps available and that's just from the "legal" source, iTunes. If you get the phone shoot me a pm and we can talk apps based on what you are interested in.
I've had all three generations of iPhones and the newest one is really great. My only caveat has to do with your service in the Asheville area. As I recall, I wasn't always getting the best 3G coverage, but I could be wrong.

3 gs due here in Sept Bill so coming soon. The phone I am getting is the straight 3g without any letters so not the newest. Same phone David has I think.

The 3GS is a pretty good improvement over the 3G. If you are getting a subsidized deal I don't think the upcharge is that much.
If you are on ATT now, I could lend you an iPhone 3G to try out. I think you could just add the Phone data plan and drop it if you don't like the phone (the plan...not the phone).

Bump is the best app ever, i use it daily. also, the built in weather program sucks, get the weather channel one (free). most of the good games cost a few dollars.Originally Posted by Doc

+1, the app is called "rooms" and it was developed by the guys who developed IRC. There are many good apps out there Doc and odds are that you will find some that suit your needs.Doc, there are lots of really useful apps that I like.

+1. The weather channel app is exponentially better. I use it daily to check the weather on my ipod. I use a level program, and it's really great. When we moved into our new place and went to hang paintings, it got all of them level.
My favorite free apps are:
Dictionary!- a free dictionary
Pandora- the free internet radio website
Epocrates- a medical app with drug information that includes identification, interactions, and side effects.
Units- a unit converter for almost everything, from energy, temperature, speed, and volumetric flow.
Stanza- a free ebook program that lets you connect to pay and free book sources. I only use the free book sources and have found them to be very good. I just finished Ben Franklin's autobiography.
I've only ever bought 1 app from the app store, and it was Fantastic Contraption. It's an engineering and physics puzzle game that was worth the $4 or $5 I spent on it.

try Eucalyptus... gives you access to project guttenburg (downloads to phone for reading later) with the best interface I've ever seen. not free but worth it.
