So I finally caught up to the rest of the world in phone technology and have an iPhone now instead of a cheapy little flipopen phone on a prepaid plan.

I got the standard free apps like Google and Facebook and Wikipedia and Yelp and Flixter and iPity. So what are some good free or cheap apps?

Totally posting this from my phone by the way.

    Units is a great app that lets you convert area, currency, energy, temperature, time, length, ...

    it also has a ruler function for some reason? in case you have to measure something less than 7cm

    Zen Bound was one of the first apps I purchased. It is a really cool puzzle game that really makes use of the touch screen, and is definitely something I would recommend.

    Here's a video from super early on that will give you an idea how it works

    Bookworm and unblockme are the best iPhone games. I use yelp and aroundme to find food places. And star walk is a pretty nifty astrology app that you can hold up the the night sky and it shows you constallations and is neato

    If you've got a media PC hooked up to a television, TouchMouse is so useful. Connect to your wifi and you can use your iPhone as a mouse and keyboard on your PC. Add in a wake-on-lan app like Awake, and you don't have to leave the couch to go from powered down to streaming Hulu.

    SimpleNote is excellent note taking software. Groceries is great for doin' your groceries. Both cost a few dollars, but are worth it.

    Thirding Plants vs. Zombies as the best $3 I've spent on a game.

    Words with Friends

    basically iPhone scrabble. you can only play against another person at a time, but i've enjoyed destroying people with my superior intellect 8-)


    speaking of which, does anyone play this here? i'm willing to throw down. my username is fightinfilipino.

    Don't buy Bejeweled, it has productivity sucking powers, especially if you have friends on Facebook who play

    Meebo just came out with a free chat app and it is the best. Get it.

    Space Invaders: Infinity Gene is basically a SHUMP version of Rez. You can play to your own songs too, with dynamically generated levels.

    Swords & Poker is surprisingly fun.

    Minisquadron is good.

    NetNewsWire has an RSS app, if you use it on your desktop then you can sync read status and flagged items between both. It's neat.

    Of course none of this matters because you'll just be playing Plants vs. Zombies all the time anyway.

    Huh, just looked up how much it'd cost for a family plan with two iphones

    it's a bit cheaper than if we went to Verizon and got droids for the two of us

    so, who knows?

    I really like Reeder as an RSS app. Really nice looking, and plugs into a lot of other services, like Instapaper, Tweetie, etc.

    Also if you do any tooting on the Twitter, Tweetie is the best and well worth the couple bucks.


    A bunch of us SE folk have Words With Friends, which is basically Scrabble with Push Notifications to tell you when it's your turn.

    Word Ace is also fun, it's like Scrabble and Poker had a baby.

    Flight Control and Harbor Master are both fun games.

    If you're even in a circumstance where you're like "Damn, who performs this song" while in a restaurant or whatever, some folks prefer Shazam, but I like Sound Hound, tends to ID songs faster and has a few more interesting features.

    Kindle is great for reading, as is Instapaper.

    Galcon Labs is a fun Risk-like game where you hop from planet to planet with your spaceships trying to take over the galaxy, playing against AI or online opponents. Sally's Spa is fun, as is Adult Swim's Vending Machine Champ.

    Ramp Champ is the best, both gameplay-wise and visually, IconFactory puts a lot of love into the aesthetics of their apps.
