Best Iphone Apps? - GoFuckYourself.com

gleem · 09-22-2008, 10:38 AM

Broke down and got the iphone 3g, and so far this thing is wayy better than I expected, although it definately has some annoying limitations... anywhoo, what are some of the apps that you simply must have? Not so much interested in Games. So far I like the Apple remote, love logging in an starting up an annoying song while I'm out back and my girl is on the computer.. and I like flycast too.

Post some good oneS!

ScoreMobile for sports info. NYTimes for news. I just got the Touch yesterday. I'm looking for good apps as well.

I didn't say "problems" I said "limitations" and really the only ones I'm seeing are purely cosmetic int he way the OS works. The OS doesn't allow anything to run in the background, each time you switch to a new app it basically pauses that app and launches the other. Also they are pretty strict about their GUI there's no way to change or customize most of it, I assume if you hack the iphone you might be able to, was hoping to not have to though.

The other thing is I can't seem to be able to handle the phone on my shoulder while talking, the speaker easily slips away from your ear and you can't hear anything.

Here are some more extremely annoying limitations:

1. No Flash support. There is a rumor going around that it will be supported soon but it's just a rumor.

2. No copy and paste function. None at all. WTF?

3. You can't recieve SMS sent photos on your phones. Instead you get a text message that says go to Viewmymessage.com where they give you a really long user name and password combo to enter. This is further complicated by the no copy and paste bs.

It's a cool phone but I'd wait till they get this basic stuff sorted out.
