i just got an iphone and am wondering what uses you guys have put them to???

i've been looking through the app store and found a bunch of really cool apps

Surviving High School is a game with a surprisingly good story, told in a vein similar to japanese dating sims. by the end of it i found myself actually caring about the characters, which is really saying something. the quality has kept up over the downloadable extra episodes, too - and every week there's a new one you can play for free. a solid game overall.

Canabalt is an awesome little 'on the toilet' game, where you play an unnamed protagonist running from an alien robotic invasion to a fantastic electronic score. there's only one control - you tap the screen to jump over objects and boxes (which slow you down), avoiding things like bombs and collapsing buildings. great fun. (my record is 6300m.)

Frotz is a text adventure interpreter that comes bundled with a LOT of cool games. very easy to use, with tap-to-use-common-verbs and a lot of appearance customization options.

RedLaser scans UPCs and price-matches them on Amazon and a bunch of online shopping sites. useful!

I just got the DMs Tracker today and, although I haven't used it in a game yet, it seems like it'll be useful

Bump is just the coolest thing in the world.

what do you guys have

    There have been rumors of a US bound CDMA iPhone since the iPhone's release.

    Still nothing.

    It is really nice.

    Bloo also just put out a free beta, so I've been playing with that. The only gripe I have is not being able to send messages from the inbox, because I love the UI for the bloo inbox.

    The free beta is an updated version of the paid app.

    I've just been using Facebook Mobile in browser.

    But it is nice to get a notification every time I get a Facebook notification. I get them sparingly enough that it's less annoying and more, "Oh sweet, someone likes me on the internet."
