Let's talk apps...

Angry birds is very therapeutic. When stupid annoying stuff gets to be too much, smashing animated pigs is a great antidote. And I love the sound effects.

I agree that games are a great way to numb up ... I'm not sure that's necessarily a good thing (or actually "therapeutic" at all). But I suppose that aside from tendinitis, the risks are lower than drugs.

I just bought "Angry Birds".

Wheeeee! What fun! I love that it's just physics! Parabola puzzles (I'm on level 5 right now, and just learned to change my parabola to deal with different shapes of castle).

And the noises the birds make are amusing. At least for now...

iPad users who want an amazing physics game, try Osmos HD. Not sure if there's a phone version.

I'm stuck on Solar 7....

A little off-topic:

So, finally, Verizon gets iphone. I wonder how difficult they will make it for current iphone users to switch. ATT's coverage simply does not meet my needs, and my calls get dropped every single day.

Verizon has it's issues, but at least they have decent coverage.

Ok, I will admit that I love mind numbing games and enjoy having them on my IPad and Blackberry. They help to pass the time while I'm waiting at the doctors office, getting my oil changed or riding in the car on long trips. I like to stay busy I suppose.

Some of my favorite apps are

Livestrong for tracking calories in/calories out
Weather bug
Pandora
Friendly for facebook
Boggle--so much fun. DH and I are always challenging each other.
Talking Tom--what a hoot!

Wouldn't you need a new phone? AT&T's network is GSM while Verizon's is CDMA...

You are all making me want to get an iPhone, something I've successfully convinced myself I totally don't need and wouldn't switch my carriers for. UGH. I need to stop reading about all of this.

Yes!! Those wanting to switch would need a new phone. My two year is up in June, so it doesn't make sense for me to switch to Verizon now for a phone that's nearly a year old. ATT (yes the network sucks, but I do wonder what iPhone will do to the Verizon network) will have a new phone out in three months or so. I'm hoping that Verizon also gets the new iPhone (iPhone 5???) when it becomes available.

I'm going to wait and see.

Yes.

My iphone is for work, so it's important that it actually functions for work. I work from wherever I want to work from--home, cafes, etc. I also travel a fair amount for work. Seriously, I cannot get a signal from one of the main places I work from, which really puts a damper on working. My calls are constantly dropped when I travel.
