Some apps are for sure worse but most are very impressive. See twitterfon, iFoosball, Pingpong, Skype, smule, Sway ... But the most important thing for me is, it's entertaining all the time and it's just in my hands. I love beeing here at this time for this piece of technology and the community around it. I'm not an apple fanboy and I don't like some of Apples strict business ideas, but in case of the iPhone Apple did it at a time where other ventors put the stuff on five and more devices to catch the money they can from customers. That's why the iPhone is a classic from 1. day on. Just one thing - a real tiny keyboard - I would love it! http://teamblog.tyclipso.net/bDetail/b/Warten-auf-das-neue-iPhone-G4-mit-Video-Chat-772 For me the app store is the definetly the success story after the iPhone’s itself.

I went to the App Store once, and only once, and, 1) Didn't see anything compelling, and, 2) Found the place confusing to navigate with non-functional search and filtering. Who has the time to look through a gazillion apps one-by-one to find something interesting? I don't even use some of the apps that came with the iPhone. The only reason I got the thing was to have a phone with which I could check my email and that had an included iPod. Surfing on the thing is an abjectly miserable experience with that tiny screen and my middle-aged eyes, and the idea of watching videos on it I find positively laughable. What I'd like is something the size and form factor of my old Newton 110/120/130 machines. I took all my notes on those in graduate school, and it was fantastic. When I got home I'd print the notes out on my laser printer via AppleTalk (Anyone remember that?), and then review them: Study done/retention increased. Give me a Newton-sized iPhone and then I'll consider applications for it, surfing on it, and perhaps even the rare video.

But they don't tell you that 1. the app isn't all that user-friendly because there are so many "great features", 2. you don't actually have so much time to use all the apps in the first place. It's not just about "apple's hype"; it's how consumerism is.

This is why it's important to create useful and valuable applications, that will save the iPhone user money. For example, there is an application titled Future Gas Prices, Now! on the app store in Canada. It will tell you the next day's gas price ahead of time, so you know whether to fill your tank tonight or tomorrow. It can be downloaded here: http://tinyurl.com/fgpnow and the money savings will add up in no time! Now we're talking useful applications for a mobile device!!
