iPhone Personal use

I've been posting business related iPhone usage reports, so I figured I should post something for those less concered about power points & calendaring.

The 3rd party app store is amazing. What were Palm & Microsoft thinking? It should have always been this way (on-phone purchase/install). Click, Buy, Use!

Check this out (not me). It shows you just how an amazing device/interface it really is and what can be done:

I have Shazam installed. It's crazy that audio recognition has gotten so good.

Unfortunatly I live and work in a dead zone for most of the location services. I live half-way between the SF Bay Area and Sacramento and applications like Urban Spoon and iWant don't appear to have listings where I live or Work. When my travels take me to SF or Sac next i'm ready to give them a whirl.

The only personal user gripe is that there is no MMS or Video support. I love live blogging images & video's to the web in real time. Yes, there are 3rd party apps for a few larger sites, but the small ones I use don't support it (they used validated MMS addresses for image identification and posting).

I look forward to the day SlingBox releases their client (I the client on my Treo)

Whats funny? Its been a week and I have exactly ZERO point ZERO songs loaded. I listen to sattelite radio. I never used the iPod I had, I never kept music on my Laptop or Treo. If I want to listent to something its streamed.
