    If you are in no rush, you may want to wait for the iPhone 5, which may be out by October.

        I don't, except the standard ones. However, today I used the bar scanner and was able to find something for less, somewhere else. -- cool. I know this technology has been around for a while but I'm simple minded and slow. Go easy with me. :)

              That seems to be the dream of all software developers now :laugh: Luckily, there's a class offered on it here this fall. Though, the way things are going I'll be done with the class long before it starts, hooray for having the syllabus posted early!

                  I use about 5, 6 different apps (other than the pre-installed ones) regularly, most of the free apps, I also have 2, 3 games that I paid for (I have advertisement in games).

                  Watched code never compiles.

                      More than I would like to admit. Bank, Credit Card, Investment tracking, bill tracking Slacker Radio, Gigbox to track shows, and SoundHound when I hear something cool I don't recognize Games from time to time, along with netflix. Barcode scanners, Skype, wifi-analyizer, Google products, maps and navigation, email, calendar, google music,

                        they have their 'own' mapping now. Which is quite similar to google maps mind you. Go droid. You will be happier.

                        Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

I have the following apps pinned to my start screen: The Weather Channel MyFitnessPal (calorie counter) Rowi (twitter client) Chess Tactics (my own app that I play regularly) Lists I also use the following regularly: Wordament - wife and I play a few rounds before shutting out the lights every night Backgammon Pro+ Allrecipes mtiks - check stats and exceptions on my app SkyDrive Tides (tide chart) Urban Dictionary I also have Facebook's app installed, but I prefer to use WP7's built in Facebook integration

                              I have used that. I often forget about it though. Others I use, g+ (social networking not allowed through work internet. Thankfully CP is not considered social networking:thumbsup:) Great Clips Check in (check wait times and check in) Direct TV (browes and record easily) Scottrade (easy day trades etc.) Pandora Slacker Radio (I go back and forth between Pandora and Slacker) Trulia OneNote Linc Games Games Games Games (I was using a SNES emulator for a while. Nice and easy to find ROMs for free. Emulators are free but if you use them alot pay the $2 as your saves are enhanced with it, i.e. non traditional saves are allowed) Games Thinking about using on{X} but it is tied to facebook and I hate facebook -on{x} allows you to schedule tasks based on location. Or something like that. For example: Action: Text my wife I am headed home when I leave work Banking Amazon Ebay Various "point" clubs (check points etc.)

                                Of all the apps I have the following are those that I use the most: When it is easier fo me to get a bus into or out of town, than to drive, I will use the app on my Galaxy S2 to find out when the next bus is coming. I have a decent red cross first aid app on my phone which I hope I will never need to use. I use winamp to listen to music. I use teamviewer to perform any maintenance on my computers at home while out of the house.

                                  I'm sure it will be faster, which is all I want (I'm on the 3G, so I could upgrade to the 4S, but I figure I might as well wait a few more months for a better upgrade).

                                    I don't even have a smart phone, just a plain cell phone. I haven't felt any pressing need to be using apps or any of the other stuff that would costs more $$. But, I reckon I am the exception, rather than the rule. :)

                                    Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

                                      Pretty much only Nokia Drive, and even that was pre-installed.

                                        No. Or yes, depending on the way you want to look at it. I don't own a phone that could run any programs and therefore also own no apps (how I hate that word). Outrageous, I know, but I somehow have managed to survive and feel great without those toys.

                                        At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

                                          Don't count on it. It's just that we don't try to make such a big deal out of not needing a new toy.
