I haven't tried any of the music apps due to skepticism. Are they useful in anyway? Usually when I come up with a melody or beat in transit I just record what I have in my head in a voice mail to myself and then work on it when I get home.

[Geno_g]

The music apps are a blast, of course you run the issue of recording it, but it's more for fun, the pocket guitar is fun it has bass, electric / acoustic, and even a ukulele

[Geno_g]

they even make some sick apps that you would use your Iphone as a Midi controller, there are a lot of good apps

That could be really cool... I'll have to look into it. Have you seen this one (not really useful, but cool and musical)...

[CalmerThanYou]

fuck. you could summon some serious triforce right from your iphone

[bmack86]

I'm having a blast making ringtones. I've got the horn section from Dancing Choose and the part from Grandmaster Flash's The Message where Melle Mel says "Bass!"

BlackSwan, midomi is *really* good for what you're talking about. Love it. You can hold it up where music is playing, or hum, or sing, or even speak lyrics, and it'll tell you the song. It works even right now when I'm so hoarse I can barely talk. Awesome.

I have the pandora app though I don't use it much, last.fm has an app (it doesn't let you scrobble real-time but you can listen to stuff in your library / radio / recommended tracks.

For social networking, I mostly use twitterific (for twitter) & facebook app. The apps for aim/yim/etc are crummy.

Occasionally use urbanspoon/yelp/moviefone/etc apps

if you like boggle, 'wurdle' is fun. Though I end up playing it for a long time on my commute and it draws the battery a bit. I use stanza sometimes (ebooks) but it's a bit tedious to read on the iphone and the app is a bit buggy and crashes a lot.

[chiapet]

oh - I like 'say where' a lot. it's like 411 but free. it's way easier to use than the maps app, when you're driving.

[Geno_g]

Pandora is the shit, best free app, when I'm in my car and sick of my iPod I just type in a artist and listen to there matches...

[fasttrack]

shazam is pretty cool. it will identify songs by holding your phone up to a speaker playing music.
rjdj is very awesome. you should try out the free demo first though.

[Geno_g]

I like shazam

[chiapet]

I've tried both shazam and midomi and like midomi a lot better. Because it'll identify from a music source or just singing/humming/saying part of the song.

[chiapet]

haha my cousin didn't believe me that midomi would really work EVEN with terrible singing like mine, and having had a few drinks, I found myself yelling in a bar: WE'RE NO STRANGERS TO LOVE, YOU KNOW THE RULES AND SO DO I. Bad stares.

TAPDEFENSE

the best game for the iPhone.

[shakermaker113]

more cow bell.



also, the ibeer:

[wmgaretjax]

I recently jailbroke mine, I got a full version of the supercollider server running on it...

[bmack86]

Nobody's mentioned bloom yet. Incredibly relaxing. Thank you Brian Eno once again for being a genius.

[C DUB YA]

shazam, ocarina, mlb baseball, urbanspoon, zippo lighter, tap tap revenge, mazefinger, tube clock, scribble, flixter, bubbles, live poker, darts, flick fishing, open table, enigmo, drinks free, night stand, pandora, facebook, night camera, bloom, pocket guitar

[Young blood]

I've got a BlackBerry Curve, but a friend of mine is getting an iPhone this week, and she's very excited about the iFart application.

[Cpt. Funkaho]

i.TV is good for TV and movie showtimes.

Remote (by Apple) is great- lets you control your computer's iTunes from anywhere in the house via WiFi.

I use Stanza as an ebook reader- there are tons of free books on it. I don't do a lot of ebook reading, but it's nice to have when I find myself with some unexpected free time and nothing better to do.

Shazam, as mentioned previously, is excellent. Great bar trick.

SimCity is fun and full-featured but costs $10. All the others I mentioned are free.

[Young blood]

ohhh simcity! $10 dollars? kind of a rip off.

[kreutz2112]

They just released a copy an paste app. It's called clippy (I think). You can only copy and paste editable text though. But this allows you to post links, which makes it so you can post pics on here. Hooray!

[ruetheday]

espn camera man.

[Hopeless Semantic]

they need a pr0n app...

[Young blood]

How the fuck do I sync my google calender and contacts with my iphone?

[captncrzy]

My boss' husband just had his "business traveler" game come out on iTunes today. I think it's called JetSet.
