A Bushel of Apple App's



Apple's 8GB iPhone 3G falls to $99 on contract announced today. Get the story here.

here's no doubt that most of you are up on what an Apple Web Application is. My hopes are that I will introduce one or two into your life that you haven't heard of, or taken a second glance at.

A brief recap of what exactly an "App" is -

Basically it’s the Internet meets Multi-Touch. Web applications — or web apps — combine the power of the Internet with the simplicity of Multi-Touch technology, all on a 3.5-inch screen. iPhone and iPod touch let you easily flick through news on Digg, play Sudoku or Bejeweled with a finger tap, and quickly check movie times, train schedules, and favorite blogs.

Browsing web apps is easy. Just visit www.apple.com/webapps on your iPhone or iPod touch. You'll find a growing list of over 1700 web apps to flick and scroll through. Browse now here.

Now I wonder; how did I live without them? Darn those Apple people!

I'm so sadly lacking in this department. I'd love to get an iphone but feel like the learning curve is getting steeper and steeper with all this to learn!

I have to admit that not only am I out of the loop with these apps, I'm totally out of the techie loop overall. I just have a basic cell phone that I hardly ever use. No iPod, no Blackberry, no gadgets.

I still need to find bathrooms the old fashioned way ;-) Good thing I can hold it!! :-D

When I left corporate America and handed back my crackberry I made a deliberate decision to NOT get a high tech phone. I was working and answering emails from my bed at night. NOT good. So now if I want to connect I have to go to a computer to do so.

Sometimes I miss it so much but I know it's for the best. My husband agrees!

Don't have the iPhone (still prefer a BB with a keyboard) but I do have the iTouch and it's pretty much the same thing except that there's no phone (and the internet is only available when you're within a wireless range). Still though, it's great to play with, costs less than the iPhone and (best of all) there's no monthly fees!

What a fabulous list! I'm about to get an Iphone so the hubs and I are on the same plan and the only apps he has are boring boy ones.

I don't have an iphone, but my husband is always adding apps to my google phone. It seems like every time I look there is a new one. What did we do before we could customize our phones like this?!

i will NEVER forget walking into bonwit teller in boston and the aaah feeling i had each time... and even the way it smelled... it was incredible.... and i agree, none of them are the way they once were.. and living in seattle ... our only choice is nordstroms.. i miss NM, saks,berdorf, and all of the wonderful other stores... but the good news.. i get to travel to visit them!! thanks for the great memory today - you made my day...

I LOVE my iphone apps! Thanks for your list - I'm off to download Have2P and Whats the Wait.
