So I finally broke down and got an iPhone, I knew it was coming, didn’t you? Here are my top 10 fav apps. Should I pull a Time.com and put this on 11 pages? Nah..

Here are my top 10 iPhone favorite apps.

10. Simplify Media
This app is very much worth the money, I use Simpify Media to stream my music to my laptop so getting it for the iPhone was a no brainer. For the uninitiated Simplify Media is a small app that you install on your Pc or Mac, you point it to your music directory and it shares your music collection over the net so you can listen anywhere your connected, the best part is that it works in iTunes! The iPhone app does the same but doesn’t hook up with iTunes, my only complaint is that it doesn’t play in the background so no multitasking for now. 

9. Facebook
No explanation needed, it’s Facebook but on your mobile.

8. Calendar
I know this one is a cop-out but Calendar synchs with my Google calendar, thanks for that tip @strange_loop! Just add your Google account as a Microsoft Exchange account and input m.google.com as your server and it does the rest.

7. Comiczeal
Comiczeal is a comic reader for your iPhone, not only does it allow you access to vintage comics, but with the help of their small app Comiczeal Synch, you can convert your scanned comics (whether they be pdf, cbr, or whatever) and synch them to your phone via wifi for easy reading when you have a free minute. Takes advandtage of pinch zoom, makes for simple reading.

6. Pandora
I do love my music, Pandora allows for streaming music wherever you want, it learns what you like and makes a custom streaming station just for you! 

5. WikiTap
Wikipedia on the go, and free! Great app for looking up those random trivia questions or for when you need to look up info on the go.

4. Flickit
A great app for picture takers, it allows you to take a picture then upload it to Flickr all on your phone, you can even add details and tags without a computer.

3. MLB At Bat
Im a huge Cub fan so MLB at Bat is my best friend on gameday. You get up to the minute scores, game details, and with MLB at Bat 09 you get streaming game audio! Can’t wait for the season to start.

2. Shovel
My favorite site on the net is Digg.com, with the Shovel app I can check the most popular stories of the day and even read the comments for each story, I use this app multiple times a day. For Reddit fans checkout Open Source Reddit.

1. Tweetie
Twitter, who’s listening? I dont know but who cares. Tweeite is by far the best Twitter app for the iPhone, it has all the features of Twitter, it even lets you follow new people, and use multiple accounts.

I Voted!

I voted! Did you?

The only thing I ever dissected was a frog, Robo Community user RetroPlayer can now say he’s dissected Elmo. RetroPlayer was one of the first to get his hands on the new Elmo toy “Elmo Live.” He immeditaly deskinned the souless tincan to show the world what is underneath that warm red fur: metal, and an unquenchable lust for blood. Starting out the thread he politely warns parents:

“First let me warn you, if you have small children that love Elmo with all their heart, you may not want to let them view this thread. :)” Pretty Cool!

This afternoon Steve Jobs pulled the curtain back to reveal to the world his newest line of Macbook and Macbook Pro computers. Both versions of the notebook will receive a a case makeover, a fancy new glass trackpad, a new NVIDIA’s 9400M integrated GPU chipset for some added video power, and the chiclet style backlit keyboard. Luckily for me but not my wallet my Dell’s ram went bad last week and has crippled it to the point of unusable so I think I’m going to pick up a new Macbook on Friday. The selling point for me was the new graphics chipset, which is what the old Macbook lacked, any kind of video power.

Besides new Macbooks today came a new patch in World of Warcraft, it adds a ton of new stuff to get ready for the Wrath of the Lich King update, I think at this point I’m going to call it quits, the game has become too much and I’m getting bored with it, so at the end of this month I’ll be saying goodbye to Azeroth.
