APP LOVE

I went to dinner at a friends house and found out that my iphone was not being maximized. I thought all apps for the iphone required the internet, and I just figured they'd slow down my world. It's like dashboard for the mac.... something I never use. I already don't use it for mail because I can type so much faster on my laptop and don't really see the point.

But I decided to give a try. So after surfing itunes for an hour or so today, I took the plunge into another layer of my iphone.

I bought one program:

• the bible which is now fully contained on my iphone in several searchable versions. I used to have that on my palm, but now have it on my iphone for the first time. I'm excited about using it in hospitals and even in church.
• I wanted to buy another one that was a dictionary, but the reviews were bad, so I'll wait for them to improve it and then buy it.
  

I also scored several free apps...

• some games- solitaire, a maze thing, a random drawing thing, yatta yatta.
• a "flashlight" that makes the screen go bright and light for those times I can't find my keys in the door lock in my dark office hallway. It even can strobe for those cool concert moments.
  
• a converter that turns virtually any measurement into something I understand (which would have been very hand in Uganda)
• a tip calculator- which is nice when I'm feeling dumb.
• a movie locator that automatically changes locations when you do.
  
• and a very cool app called "remote" which controls my itunes from my cell phone- something I'll use every weekend in youth group- I'm really stoked about that one.

Now if I can just get my phone to wash my car.
