Let's talk apps...

Apps I use:
Starbucks (finds them in whatever town I'm in)
Comcast (tv guide - even though I don't have cable)
RunKeeper
iTrailMap (download trail maps from ski resorts)
Metronome
Minesweeper, Sudoku, and Solitaire
Free Wi-Fi Locator
NPR News
Pandora
Fandango
Falling Balls (game - these balls fall out of the sky, you have to tilt the phone to make the guy on the ground run out of the way or else he gets squished)

And I'm perfectly happy with games/time suck, since I get bored when I fly and I fly a lot. Someday I'll actually invest in an iPad.

Sudoku,

which soduku do you like?

Ok, I saw a You Tube video on a new app called Word Lens...but I can find it in the app store...anyone know anything about this?

It's way too cool...point the iPhone at a dignity in Spanish and it converts it on the screen to English!

A review...

My favorite apps list is very short....

Lose It
Weather Channel
Pandora
Map My Ride
Kindle

I have lots of other apps on it, but I don't seem to actually use them very often. I really like Lose It...it does help me keep track of my diet and exercise.

Uhh...umm...it's just called Sudoku on my phone? The app looks like a little tan square with the kanji (?) characters.

ok yeah. I'm still stuck on "easy" so I don't know if I'll go for the full version.

[jessmarimba]

Haha. Sit through a few 4-hour flights with a dead ipod and no book and you'll catch on really quick

I've never paid for an app so I don't know what version this is, but it was one of the first apps I got.
