Top 10 Best iPhone 3g Apps!

fluffypig.com — After finally getting my iPhone 3G yesterday I spent most of my time playing with the Apps and App Store. It ’s early days but there already some amazing Apps available for the iPhone. This list features a wide range including task management, social networking, file transferring, location aware fun and even games.

  • Tddupre, on 07/12/2008, -10/+133Where the hell is Pandora
    • e2superman, on 07/13/2008, -95/+3iPhone does not support flash. i.e. no support for pandora or other pages with it.


      wait... iPhone is not perfect!:!:!:! Does ... not.... compute.....
      • Scottievm, on 07/13/2008, -2/+46There's a Pandora app...
      • e2superman, on 07/13/2008, -45/+2I was referring to the browser. And with an App the iPhone will not let you run it in the background. i.e. no listening to the music while doing anything else. boo. Every other smart phone lets you do that.
      • Galaxylander, on 07/13/2008, -1/+4You're an idiot- you can with iTunes.
      • sleepwalkers, on 07/14/2008, -1/+4Why were you referring to the browser when someone asked about Pandora?
      • bpercevic, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1you can still press sleep and keep your phone in your pocket while pandora runs.
    • MoofTheStoof, on 07/13/2008, -0/+8A bit off-topic, since it's just about Pandora, but I just have to share this because I'm so happy about it - I have a 1st gen iPhone and Pandora streams just fine over EDGE (I live rural so no 3G for many, many years, here.)

      But at least I have pandora! It's been what I've been playing through my stereo for a few days now, as the kids and I tool around the countryside.
      • jattea, on 07/13/2008, -1/+3Yeah but it sounds terrible. I also have a first gen iPhone, and Pandora streams okay, but it sounds like a 64kb MP3... Does the compression get better with wifi or 3g?
      • Qumahlin, on 07/14/2008, -2/+2It really doesn't sound that bad unless you have the volume quite loud. It is almost 128kbps quality, and for free it's really damn amazing.
      • Cowboy1015, on 07/14/2008, -1/+2padora's sounds fine on my 1st gen.
  • jigsawinternet, on 07/12/2008, -3/+45We don't get Pandora here in the UK due to copyright laws :(

    We also don't get Jott which I would have liked to try
    • CanadaMan87, on 07/13/2008, -0/+6Same here in Canada. We used to be able to use Pandora's website thingy, but they cut it off after they presumably got some nasty letters from record companies.
    • ianbirtwistle, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2check out last.fm

      Not as minimalist as Pandora but almost as good.
      • mightycbu, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1last.fm just doesn't cut it for me. the music-genome program from pandora just works way better than last.fm suggestions.
    • Firehed, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1It's actually related out outrageous international licensing fees, but I feel for you just the same.
    • dalesmatrix, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1Same here in Australia, no jott, pandora or ebay app (that last one is a weird omission)
  • firstpost, on 07/12/2008, -3/+61The Remote app is definitely a 10/10 to me, totally worth losing my jailbreak and paying €7,99 for the software update. It actually added functionality to my AppleTV. AFAIK, before it wasn't possible to start playing a song and then turn on shuffle or repeat, and now it is (this is really cool, because sometimes I just want to hear one song and then let it shuffle to something else, this wasn't possible before without using AirPort and iTunes), it was also impossible to skip a song while in a slide show, which the Remote app can do.
    • Firehed, on 07/13/2008, -1/+8The remote app works on AppleTV as well as iTunes? Nice, I had no idea.
    • Qumahlin, on 07/14/2008, -2/+4Your jailbreak will be back by tuesday anyway :)
    • vanden9, on 07/14/2008, -4/+2Yea but had that app when my ipod was jailbreak. just had to run a little backround app in windows..
    • selfdisplaced, on 07/14/2008, -9/+1I don't know, I don't like that you can't control your entire iTunes library, only songs you have synced on iPhone. I thought you'd be able to control an iTunes library.

      An amazing app would be one that streams your iTunes library to your iPhone.
      • kmkoni, on 07/14/2008, -1/+8You can control your entire iTunes library using Remote.
      • selfdisplaced, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1really, when i did it it only let me control the songs i had syncd with my iPhone

        if that's true it's pretty cool. how about they make something that streams itunes music to your iphone from anywhere.
    • philberttheduck, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1remote app minus tris and customize now for a couple of days or remote app PLUS tris and customize in less than a week forever? gotta go with the latter.
    • becknell, on 07/14/2008, -0/+2Just wish the remote worked with Bluetooth. Not allowed to have a wireless router where I am... =/
  • Mickeh65, on 07/13/2008, -39/+3These comments suck.
  • Papajohn56, on 07/13/2008, -9/+15this blog is too ***** hard to read good lord
    • ho0ber, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4"Redirect Loop
      Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

      You're right!
      • falafelkiosken, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3the server is playing pong with the page
  • aabernathy, on 07/13/2008, -9/+2Very Insightful!
  • Kbiscu1t, on 07/13/2008, -2/+205My favorite app is the 500 Internal Server Error!

    Oh...wait..
    • demonic, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1lol that is awesome!
    • stygiansonic, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1Looks like they're also XAMPP, judging by the favicon. Then again, maybe they just fooled me.
  • sonofalink, on 07/13/2008, -2/+56AOL Radio? Aurora Feint? Pandora? I can think of tons that are even free that are better than those 10.

    The worst part is, this will be the first of about 100 "top x iPhone Apps" that we'll see in the next week on Digg.
    • ZPWeeks, on 07/13/2008, -1/+15Name 'em, we're interested :-)
    • wiifm69, on 07/13/2008, -0/+12Aurora Feint - best free game on the iPhone at the moment IMHO
      • dshPls, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2aqua forest or gtfo.
      • alakalaka99, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2Agreed, great game. I love the RPG elements added to it.
      • craziplaya21, on 07/14/2008, -0/+3@dshPls: aqua forest isnt free...
  • shadedecho, on 07/13/2008, -38/+4nice... digg crashes another server (after only 78 diggs)... just like the iPhone crashed the apple and at&t servers... awesome.

    Btw, anyone who wants to complain about the launch or share stories, videos, pics from the debacle, come over to http://www.iFail3G.com :)
  • alndigg, on 07/13/2008, -7/+9500 Internal Server Error. Aye. Oh well, I'd like to have seen the list. And after only 80 diggs, the server is toast.
  • e2superman, on 07/13/2008, -29/+4#1 worst app: iPhone OS. No copy and paste. No mms. No video record. No picture mail. Can;t run programs in the background (instant messenging sucks if you can not use the other parts of the phone and leave it running).
    • LOLIGATOR, on 07/13/2008, -0/+6seriously. i'm really missing the copy and paste functionality. is it really that hard to implement? even windows 3.0 had copy and paste...
      • e2superman, on 07/13/2008, -1/+4I know. Someone sends you an internet link not formatted right and you have to copy it down by hand on paper, then go retype it in the phone just to get to the page. How lame. Nearly every other smart phone out there has had this for years. I know I use it all the time... and so would everyone if they added it.
      • B1663r, on 07/14/2008, -1/+1Do you realize that Windows 3.0 was the first OS to have system wide copy paste?
    • duggdowncatisad, on 07/13/2008, -1/+7No, the #1 worst iphone 3g app is the "Activation" app.
    • leeg, on 07/13/2008, -1/+7Copy and Paste is definitely MIA. Though who needs MMS with real email? Just email to their text email address. MMS is over rated. IM would be nice, but I'm sure it would chew thru batteries like mad.
      • e2superman, on 07/13/2008, -3/+3Not really. I have used several phones with IM on all the time (yahoo, AIM, msn all logged on all day) and with no realy batter drain that I noticed.

        Email is fine I agree however can you really assemble multimedia rich emails on the iphone. Can someone send you a power point presentation and you can then view it... take a look and forward the ppt to a friend to review. This is important for business people. I know not really mms here but something that the iPhone needs to compete with the big boys such as Blackberry in the enterprise.
      • latca, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1The way the iPhone IM is setup is suppose to save battery. The service isn't set up yet but in September the server will let you know when there is a message so the phone doesn't have to keep checking.

        With my N95 IM is definitely a big battery drain.
  • LastDitchHero, on 07/13/2008, -9/+0Maybe if people could use their I Phones???
  • loconet, on 07/13/2008, -4/+9mirror?
  • DeathAxe, on 07/13/2008, -0/+104Cached version: http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:http://www.flu ...
    • Fadakar, on 07/13/2008, -1/+5Thanks. :D
    • nycmac247, on 07/13/2008, -1/+2thank you!
    • megamod, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2further proof that google IS the internet
    • HumanRecalled, on 07/14/2008, -2/+1ah
    • GregR, on 07/14/2008, -0/+7Lots of extra references to FileMagnet in there.

      Subliminal advertising?
      • austinh, on 07/14/2008, -0/+2He most-likely just copied and pasted an image tag a few times, but forgot to change the alt, causing FileMagnet to show up every time he copied and pasted the image tag.
  • Nobiting, on 07/13/2008, -2/+22I find the facebook web app better than the native app. The only better thing about the native app is the integration with facebook's instant messaging service.
    • duriast, on 07/13/2008, -0/+19and the photo upload..
    • ThinkBox, on 07/14/2008, -0/+6The app makes seemed to forget that people have a facebook wall...
    • protocolor, on 07/14/2008, -0/+4and the iphone app has no mini-feed...just status updates. pretty much a dealbreaker.
  • phoque, on 07/13/2008, -16/+1Is there an overview of all apps that doesn't need iTunes?
    • FTWmovin2canada, on 07/13/2008, -0/+9You have to create an account to download any apps.
    • tidu, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2not to mention sync up with your iphone...
  • beerbarron, on 07/13/2008, -0/+19cube runner is awesome, I actually kind of prefer it to super monkey ball, tap tap revenge is a very fun game to, would be nice if it integrated with your own music.
    • PunkRampant, on 07/13/2008, -0/+7...it doesn't? I haven't tried the TTR from App Store yet, but the old jailbreak version let you play any song from your personal library.
      • diggcommentguy, on 07/13/2008, -0/+13Nah, apple 'sandboxes' your music away from the apps reach. No app can access data it didn't create.
  • fandyboy, on 07/13/2008, -16/+2Internal Server Error

  • LeviTheSmith, on 07/13/2008, -16/+1"Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither."
    Ben Franklin

    We can't say they didn't warn us.... But hey the constitution is just a piece of paper right?
    • superkendall, on 07/13/2008, -2/+6The real quote says "temporary security".

      That is where you lost the plot.
      • LeviTheSmith, on 07/13/2008, -5/+1Truly a depressing moment when both major party candidates for President are in favor of gutting the Constitution. Especially shameful that Obama lied about his position in order to win the Wisconsin primary and now plays his supporters for dupes.
  • Aitese, on 07/13/2008, -16/+9For those wondering where things like Pandora are...the blog is written by someone outside the US (I know it's scary...but no, you don't just cease to exist if you leave America) so that app isn't available.

    A correction from the blog...Shazam is not free...well not after a few uses anyway. It is free initially from the app store.
    • e2superman, on 07/13/2008, -25/+1iPhone does not support flash so Pandora is pointless to even talk about. i.e. it requires it.
    • eleazar123, on 07/13/2008, -6/+4Why do you have to take a jab at people like that? Are you 12? It is very understandable that a person might have not realized that Pandora is not available outside of the US or Canada. Hell, it could've been a Canadian posting that message! Assuming the poster is ethnocentric based entirely on wondering why a certain app is not listed is just ignorant.
      • Aitese, on 07/13/2008, -2/+1A guy mentioned it above and was buried as if he didn't know what country he resided in and what services were available. It's less of a swipe and more a pointing out of the narrow view some people usually take. Common sense should tell some people that if it involves music, TV shows or movies the folks outside the US do not get it...ever. That's never changed and it's unlikely ever to change.

        We don't get Hulu, we don't get movie rentals in iTunes, we don't get Pandora, we can't subscribe to Rhapsody.

        See JK1150 below for an example of the sort of person I'm talking about...comprehension anyone?
      • eleazar123, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1I can certainly understand your reasoning. But I don't think it is that outlandish or crazy for someone to not realize that a certain service is exclusive to the US. Most general consumers see the internet as a universal object, so if it's available to me in X country, why wouldn't it be available for you in Y country, etc etc. That being said, I think it's absolute crap what the RIAA did to online radio sites (ie. Pandora). I wonder if Pandora will stop working when I'm in Italy in a few weeks.
      • Aitese, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1I use it, but using a proxy app like Ultrasurf...without it you get told unfortunately due to licensing restrictions Pandora is unavailable outside th US. Most of the time I just use Last.fm which is available in the UK.
    • JK1150, on 07/13/2008, -10/+1pandora is available in the US, i am using it...
      • gforce051, on 07/13/2008, -1/+8People like you make our country look bad.
  • Pinkertinkle, on 07/13/2008, -0/+16So anyone want to speculate on why Google's app sucks so much? No Google Talk and most of the time just sends you over to Safari, maybe they're saving the good stuff for android.
    • ahawks, on 07/14/2008, -0/+2You answered your own question. Android and iPhone are competing platforms.
  • cycac, on 07/13/2008, -4/+35Title should be Best iPhone 2.0 apps.
    • eleazar123, on 07/13/2008, -11/+2The iPhone 3G is forced to run 2.0. So, it would be redundant to say "iPhone 3G 2.0 apps".
      • EverTheCynic, on 07/13/2008, -1/+6Notice how he left 3G out of the revised title altogether? These apps can run on the previous iPhone, not just 3G. The common thread is the 2.0 firmware.
      • eleazar123, on 07/13/2008, -6/+1I realized that after I posted. :

        Theoretically, iPhone 3G and iPhone 2.0 are the same thing anyways. But yes, I see your point.
      • GliTCH82, on 07/13/2008, -1/+5No they're not, I have an iPhone running 2.0 that's not 3G. You completely fail at simple logic.
      • eleazar123, on 07/13/2008, -2/+1My point is that 3G iPhones will be running 2.0 no matter what and 1st gen iPhone's can be upgraded to 2.0, so they can BOTH run the SAME APPS. So, they are indeed the same in this aspect. You don't have to be a douche about it.
      • klipseracer, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1eleazar123, i know what your trying to say... but there is no point in trying to nurse a dead argument.
    • GothAlice, on 07/13/2008, -8/+1Your lack of understanding is only equalled by the lack of understanding by the original submitter. It's "Best Mobile OSX 2.0 Apps". The iPhone isn't the only device running that operating system…
  • ianbirtwistle, on 07/13/2008, -7/+2No ShoZu?
    http://www.shozu.com
    • DaveClarkOne, on 07/13/2008, -2/+3Uh, the average rating is 2.5. Are you the developer for this very average app?
  • optize, on 07/13/2008, -4/+711. FileMagnet (£2.99)

    File MagnetFileMagnet is the app that Apple forgot. I’ve no idea why Apple does not allow access to transfer files too and from the iPhone. What’s the point in carrying around a 16gb hard drive with us everyday if we can’t use it for anything but music, video and photos?
    Portable Storage Device

    File MagnetOnce you have installed FileMagnet on both your iPhone and your Mac you can drag and drop any files into it to sync between the devices. Making your iPhone a 16gb portable storage device.
    Open & View Files Too!

    It then goes one step better and not only allows you to transfer and store files but also lets you open and view them on your iPhone!! It supports PDFs, Microsoft Office documents, images, movies and even complete folders!

    Rating: 10/10 (The best iPhone app so far. It has no faults and is a bargain)
    2. Shazam (FREE)

    This app really blew my mind when I first tried it!
    File Magnet

    You hold your iPhone to any source of music, be it TV, radio or whatever. Shazam ‘listens to it’ and identifies it for you in seconds!! That is it’s most obvious feature but it actually does so much more.

    It works with tags and comparing the tags you make to it’s databases. You can then buy the music you hear. Imagine you are in a pub playing a track you like but don’t know. Hold up your iPhone, let Shazam identify it and then purchase it automatically! Amazing!

    Additional features include viewing related videos on YouTube, personalising Tags with photos and emailing Tags to contacts.

    Rating: 10/10 (Another perfect app. Technology ahead of it’s time!)
    3. Vicinity (£1.79)

    File MagnetVicinity is another app which takes advantage of the iPhones GPS and location awareness.

    Using your current location it quickly provides lists of nearby services such as banks, pubs, restaurants, taxis and takeaways, giving their distance from you as well!

    Not amazingly useful when your in your home town but could be invaluable when traveling to new places.

    Another interesting feature is bringing up Flickr photographs taken in the vicinity and also Wikipedia pages of local interests.

    Rating: 7/10 (Works well and a good insight into how GPS is more useful than just maps.)
    4. Things (£5.99)

    File MagnetThings is one of my most used programs on all of my Macs. It’s a task management system which can implement David Allen’s GTD system. I really would be lost without it. The idea of having my To-Do lists with me on my iPhone at all times is very exciting.
    Coming Soon…

    Unfortunately there is one major downside at the moment. The App does not yet support syncing which makes it almost useless as I won’t write my lists out twice. However, the creators insist that it’s their top priority and it will be implemented soon. The introductory price of just $9.99/£5.99 makes it worth an early investment.

    Rating: 8/10 (Rating assumes syncing is implemented. A stunning app and a bargain too)
    5. OmniFocus (£11.99)

    Before Things came along OmniFocus was my task management app of choice. I’m still not 100% converted to Things and there are bits of OmniFocus which appeals to me also.
    Amazing Location Awareness

    The iPhone App of OmniFocus is streets ahead at the moment with one amazing feature. The location awareness of the iPhone is implemented so well in this app.

    For example using your location OmniFocus can create custom lists to show you tasks you need to complete nearby. Maybe you have a separate list for at the office? Or a shopping list which can be shows as you approach the store!

    It’s not cheap though, it’s twice the price of Things and the OSX desktop app is also expensive.

    Rating: 9/10 (I prefer Things to OmniFocus overall but the location awareness features really give it the edge)
    6. Twitterific (FREE)

    File MagnetTwitter is the marmite of social networking. You either love it or hate it. Personally I love it.

    I also love Twitterific for OSX, the iPhone version is every bit as good! If you use OSX and Twitter you probably already use Twitterific. If you use Windows now is your chance to see what you’ve been missing!

    Rating: 7/10 (If you Twitter you will love it.)
    7. NetNewsWire (FREE)

    File MagnetNetNewsWire is my RSS reader of choice for the Mac. I like Google Reader NNW is just so much more polished and has some nice features such as posting to del.icio.us.

    I use quite a few different Macs and read my RSS feeds on all of them. NNWs built in syncing works great and i’m so happy that I can read the same feeds on my iPhone now and keep them all in sync.

    Rating: 8/10 (Every bit as good as the desktop app)
    8. Remote (FREE)

    Remote is a very simple but quite useful app. It allows you to control the music on your computer or Apple TV with your iPhone over a Wi-Fi network.

    You can play, pause, skip, shuffle music from your whole iTunes library as well as viewing album artwork and searching.

    Rating: 6/10 (Not as exciting as most of the other apps but it’s free and useful)
    9. Super Monkeyball (£5.99)

    Super Monkey BallApparnatly Super Monkeyball is quite a famous game. Personally I have never played it before though. It’s by SEGA and is obviously a quality game.

    The object of the game is to navigate through a variety of obstacle courses against the clock. Of course they get progressively harder and there are 5 worlds and 110 stages!
    PSP Rival?

    I was very impressed by how good it looked and sounded. It really does give the iPhone the potential to be a rival for the PSP and NintendoDS if more game manufactures take it seriously.

    Of course the iPhone would be limited by it’s lack of buttons but DS style games would work well with the touch screen and others including Super MonkeyBall utilise the accelerometer amazingly effectively. (You tilt and turn the iPhone and the ball on the screen moves accordingly)

    Rating Me: 8/10 (A seriously impressive game, wouldn’t be out of place on a PSP)
    10. Cube Runner (FREE)

    Cube Runner is another game which using the iPhones built-in accelerometer. It’s not as pollished and professional as Super MonkeyBall but it is every bit as addictive and it’s also free!

    You basically tilt the iPhone to control a spaceship which you fly across Star Wars type landscapes avoiding cubes which get in your way.

    Rating: 7/10 (Less impressive than Super MonkeyBall but is addictive, fun and free!)
    • e2superman, on 07/13/2008, -71/+5Nice copyright infringement dick *****. Digg me down but blatent copying like this is just illegal and hurts the publisher. Fine... their site is down, but so what? Does that mean you can copy their crap and repost?
      • skyfox2k, on 07/13/2008, -1/+34No one feed the troll.
      • e2superman, on 07/13/2008, -24/+1feed yourself instead.
      • edstittle, on 07/13/2008, -1/+7yes.
      • kevinwiz, on 07/13/2008, -0/+11@e2superman
        that made no sense. insult fail.
      • fanclerks, on 07/14/2008, -0/+7I want to say you're new to digg, but your profile says you've been around since 06. It's common practice on digg for someone to copy and post the article if it's down. If the site is down they're not losing anything so who cares?
      • deeflo23, on 07/14/2008, -0/+4wow... is it normal to want to kill after reading something.?


        what.a.*****.....wow..... -_-
      • skyfox2k, on 07/14/2008, -1/+6Feed myself? Touché.
  • Miamisun, on 07/13/2008, -1/+3Best Apps for me:

    Instapaper - Click a button on any website and it will copy the text and send it to your iphone for you to read at a later time.
    Sportstap - Great App for Sports updates
    Ipint and Phone Saber are both free novelty apps
    • fanclerks, on 07/14/2008, -1/+2iPint is one of those WTF apps. What the hell is the point? To tease you with a beer you can't have? Bah, give me a cold REAL beer to drink and don't waste my time and space on my iPhone with such a useless app.
  • SlapAyoda, on 07/13/2008, -0/+19And you didn't even have to get the new iPhone to enjoy these apps.
    • skyshock1, on 07/13/2008, -15/+2Or even an older iPhone since most of these (or comperable) have been available for other smartphone platforms for quite a while.
  • mstrat135, on 07/13/2008, -11/+3fix this *****
  • e2superman, on 07/13/2008, -27/+3iPhone rules!
  • e2superman, on 07/13/2008, -30/+1iPhone sucks!
  • e2superman, on 07/13/2008, -29/+2mmmm. Iphone is just a phone. Get over it.
    • InorganicMatter, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4Not any more. Since you didn't read the article: it now appears the iPhone is an application platform that also has the potential to become a third pillar in handheld gaming.
      • e2superman, on 07/13/2008, -5/+2A third pillar? Lol. Nice buzz word.
  • alexanderstraub, on 07/13/2008, -4/+5nobody has seen the truphone VoIP app for the iphone - this is a real KILLER APP
    http://www.truphone.com/iphone
    • skyshock1, on 07/13/2008, -1/+3Really? Cause there have been skype clients on other mobile platforms for quite a while. They're not exactly "killer" as none will let you interface w/ POTS (land/cell lines) for free.
    • nogami, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2It's pretty good, but want I want is a packet audio app (basically push to talk, etc) - where you can just quickly send a quick voice note to one of your contacts over the 3G network.
    • dogfood, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1Was checking the truphone rates, and to call most countries they are 3-5 times more expensive than Skype. Local calls in the US are .06 a minute. I'll wait for Skype....
  • Itsmiguel, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4Copter is the best iPhone game in my opinion, great graphics and good gameplay.
  • peticsu, on 07/13/2008, -0/+30so which app lets you pirate music?
  • randoof, on 07/13/2008, -0/+6file magnet sounds ideal

    if only i had a mac :(
  • branndon, on 07/13/2008, -0/+49This guy really likes File Magnet
    • ibone, on 07/13/2008, -0/+6Hes like the Chewlies Gum guy.
      • Justice101, on 07/14/2008, -0/+2Cigarettes cause cancer *throws down a lung. Here buy some gum instead.
  • justdot, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2is there any app for wallpapers?
  • e2superman, on 07/13/2008, -16/+1Is there an app for fanboyism? Does is wack the ole' stick off for you?
    • diggonit, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1Mine does but I had to sign a 5 year contract.
  • skyshock1, on 07/13/2008, -10/+3All of which will most likely be free on the Android platform.

    I'll wait.
    • apologeticus, on 07/13/2008, -1/+3I know, I mean isn't vaporware just the rox0rz!!!!??
  • InorganicMatter, on 07/13/2008, -15/+2Fail #1 - They aren't "3G" apps, so why all the hate for us 2.0 updaters?
    Fail #2 - Not even a mention of Pandora.
    Fail #3 - Super Monkey Ball.
    Fail #4 - No Tetris.
    • Dymphna, on 07/14/2008, -1/+1Not everyone is from America where you can use Pandora you know.

      Rather hard to like an app that is totally unusable for you.
  • skyshock1, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1Is there a weather app that's available that will show you real time satellite data? That's what I want.
  • matt646, on 07/13/2008, -3/+5Is one of them a web server by chance?
  • mistahroth, on 07/13/2008, -1/+31Why doesn't Digg have an app yet? lol
    • spleeyah, on 07/14/2008, -0/+9http://digg.com/iphone/
      • Olivaise, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1I still think that a native application would be better than the web app.
    • novenator, on 07/14/2008, -0/+2I used to use this all the time (and still do when I'm on the road), but love to digg up/down comments on the regular website too much
  • jigsawinternet, on 07/13/2008, -5/+0Host Gator sucks
  • HumanRecalled, on 07/13/2008, -6/+1How about an app for a decent link as that seems to be in short order here in Digg these days !!

  • clownx, on 07/13/2008, -2/+1I don't have an iPhone yet (Verizon is the only carrier in my area), but Shazam looks so cool. It reminds me of a highly expanded version of ZiT! from GTA IV.
    • DarkLaughingMan, on 07/14/2008, -0/+0There's something like Shazam for Verizon. My cousins have it on their Verizon plans and phones, you just hold it up to the music and it identifies it for you.

      It's the only app I wish I could had on my n800. Though I guess I could always get a Verizon phone and just do that.
  • bpercevic, on 07/13/2008, -0/+17if you hold the home button and press the sleep button you take a screenshot and store it in your photos :O how about that for an app?
    • kHealy, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1Wow, that's badass. Do you know any other cool tricks?
  • illustrick, on 07/13/2008, -9/+1such *****, that you have to pay to use the apps? ***** that, i will keep my jailbroke ipod
    • Jrr6415sun, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1most are free but yes there are lots of apps that should be free that you have to pay for.
  • ibone, on 07/13/2008, -3/+1I think the person that wrote this article is = to the Chewlie's Gum guy for Filemagnet.
  • ATLien74, on 07/13/2008, -1/+2Digg killed the page dead.
  • nepidae, on 07/14/2008, -0/+3It does sound lower quality, but not much worse than normal radio. And if I like a song I can just get the high quality version and upload it to my iphone. For me pandora will probably be my most used 3rd party app.
