My reading time has been eaten into a little bit over this weekend as I have a new toy to play with.
I have debated whether or not to get an iphone for the longest time - I wouldn't exactly call myself "tech savvy" and my partner is more likely to be the one with the new gadgets - but something finally caught me and I gave in to the iphone craze!
I have been learning the ways of my new phone (and grieving for some of the ways of my old phone which I did love dearly) but some of the gizmos on the iphone are keeping me happy - especially the applications that allow you take old time photos - very cool!
Are there any other applications that you would recommend? Are there any book/writing applications that are particularly good?
The first App I downloaded was Ibooks, very clear for a small Screen enjoy your Toy their are plenty of fantastic Apps to discover.
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of Kindle for iPhone.
ReplyDeleteScrabble on your iPhone also becomes pretty addictive. Good for you and your new toy! I just love mine.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous.... I'm trying to decide whether to wait for my contract to be up before I get one or just go and get one. The first app I'd get would be the photo one you've just described.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new toy.
I love my iphone. Apps I love: pandora, shazam and stanza.
ReplyDeleteWords with Friends is pretty cool. Stay away from Angry Birds, though....what a time suck!
ReplyDeleteHi Jacki - Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteHi Yvann - I will have to check that out.
Hi Frances - I think I am beginning to love it now - I can definitely see its potential! I'm still grieving for my old phone a little...
Hi Joan - My contract was up and my provider gave me the option of the iphone so I thought I would give it a go. They are way too expensive over here to buy I think.
Hi Brenna - thanks for the tips - I haven't heard of any of those.
Hi Jill - I've heard that!! Fruit Ninja is currently sucking my time!
I had an iPod Touch and I gave in and got an iPhone. Loooove it! Though I'm addicted to the games more than anything. Cut the Rope is simple, cute, and a total timesuck. :)
ReplyDeleteMost major national newspapers have Apps for reading online content. Sure it's killing traditional print media, but it's completely awesome. I use the Globe and Mail App (being Canadian and all).
ReplyDeleteHi Andi - thanks, I will have to check that one out!
ReplyDeleteHi Michael - thanks for the tip.
Resistance is futile Karen! :P And lets face it, that app store is kinda rad huh?!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I love my iPhone. My Goodreads app gets a lot of use, as does my life-saving MobileRSS application that allows me to whittle down my Google feed readers. I use that to scroll through posts quickly, star the ones I later want to comment on, etc. I also love my Fandango app so regardless of where I'm at, I can see movies playing in the area. I can't always catch films, but I like that I can keep up on them there!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
Hi antipodeanowl - I'm definitely having fun exploring all the apps - although I'm trying hard not to get too caught up in it all!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky - that sounds like a great app for the movies - I will have to check it out. Thanks!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several
weeks of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions
to stop hackers?
