It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of these, so here’s the latest installment of the iPhone apps I currently have installed on my iPhone. I’ve trimmed down what I have installed a little bit :-)

A week with the new 13″ MacBook

October 27th, 2008 @ 9:24 PM

Last Monday night, I took a trip over to a local Apple Store and picked up a new 2.4 GHz 13″ MacBook to replace my older MacBook Pro. Now that I’ve had it for a week, I thought I’d post my thoughts and how I feel it compares to the older MacBook Pro.

My 5 most-used 3rd-party iPhone apps

October 12th, 2008 @ 3:16 PM

I recently had a conversation with an iPhone-owning friend about the 3rd-party apps he uses the most, so I thought I’d share my list:

Twitterrific
Since I use Twitterrific on my laptop to post to and keep up with Twitter, it was a natural choice to use it on the iPhone. The interface is great, and posting tweets is really quick, even on the EDGE network.
Elevens Balls [1]
This game is seriously addictive, a ton of fun, and an excellent time waster. If you’ve ever played 11 Ball on a Megatouch, you’ll love this game.
PDX Bus
Trimet bus stops and schedules on the iPhone. Absolutely essential if you live in Portland and ride Trimet often.
NetNewsWire
Another app that I use on my laptop. Lets me keep up with the RSS feeds I read without having to be sitting in front of the laptop.
Mobile Fotos
By far my favorite Flickr app. It allows me to take photos and quickly upload them to Flickr directly from the iPhone. The nearby feature is also very slick (it uses the GPS to find you and then displays photos taken nearby your location).

[1] - No link because it looks like this may’ve been pulled from the App Store. It’s not showing up in a search on the App Store, but I can’t seem to find anything from Google saying it’s been pulled or not. If it has been, that really sucks—the game is excellent and incredibly addictive. Anybody know what happened with it?

After my previous post about the iPhone apps I have installed, I decided I’d continue to post what I’ve got installed every once in a while. Here’s installment #2:
