Apps on the go

It’s taken a while but I have made my choice. I have ordered an iPhone. 

The camera kind of sucks, no video – although there is a way around it, I hear mixed reviews about typing because of the lack of non-tactile feedback but….. the applications rock. And it integrates nicely with my media center: it will transfer recorded movies automatically from iMac to iPhone when I enter the living room. Handy when I am going for a trip. Lastly, my iTunes library is shared seemlessly between media center and iPhone.

I thought the Windows based mobiles were a bit too clunky and I don’t need the Qwerti keyboard.

So, what apps do I want when the device arrives in a week or two? These are my favourites so far:

1. Google Mail/Calendar/Reader
2. Flickr - photo: not by Flickr itself but nicely done.
3. Buienradar - weather
4. WordPress - blogging
5. Tumblr - microblogging
6. Last.fm – streaming music: no coverage in Holland yet but will come eventually.
7. Nu.nl - news
8. Qik - video streaming – althought I will have to jailbreak the phone to use this app.
9. PDA.net – tethering device – gives you broadband Internet for your PC without needing WiFi. Again, the phone has to be jailbroken.

More suggestions?
