OK, so I just became an iPhone noob with a brand-new 3GS.
Not hacked, whacked, cracked or anything like that - just straight from the AT&T store.
SO -
Any killer "must have" app recommendations from the laser geek crowd? :confused: *retardo
Thanks dudes!! :D
I don't have one and wouldn't know where to start but how about that app that allows you to run LivePRO! :cool:

I can't think of any killer apps for the iPhone, there a couple for the ipad.
Just hit the free section of the store and download a bunch of stuff to play with. there is a cool remote by apple that controls itunes. I have a chase bank app that I use all the time. There are a lot of handy little utilities. There is a great converter calculator that converts everything to everything. The I hart radio is handy.
There is so much stuff... just go looking.

I use Westernits conversion app quite a lot. Also use dipswitch calculator quite a bit for the lighting work. I've got mine JAilbroken so I can use backgrounder/kirikae (its a 3G) as I can't get native multi app support under OS4. Ebay app is useful, and Paypal.

Warning! May induce war time flashbacks. "I've seen some things, and some stuff!"
Another cool app but requires more toys...

Hi Randy:)
Oh no you haven't! You should have listened to your parents. Just say no to drugs.
The iPhone has become a serious illness for me>:)
This is a real handy feature to go straight to your favorite websites. First type in the address you want to go to. Once it has loaded, press the plus sign at the bottom of your screen and an options diolouge will appear. Press 'add to home page' now that website will be a button on your home screen just like the apps do you can just press it:p an go straight there. Great for say somewhere like ...um...PL...
Oh ow, I just told you the equivalent of how to smoke crack:D
I can't feel to responsible, you already started down a slippery slope:p
Ok killer apps.
XE Currency - you can choose ten currencies to get realtime updates on.
Shazam- when you hear a song you like on the radio, open shazam, press tag now. Hold yourphone near the speaker and let it record for 12secs. It will send it to their sever to analyse then send you back the name, artist and album ad well as an iTunes, YouTube and facebook link.
Speedtest.net - let's you test your upload and download speeds.
Hope this 'helped' the addiction.
Warning kids, PL on an IPhone = serious addiction>:)

If it allows you to get a PL fix before you get out of bed then the chances of getting out of the house are slim:o however if you have dead time to kill, like being on a train or at weighting at an airport, you can get your hit there so you are free to talk to your girlfriend or family when you get home.
Now this part I'm not kidding.
This phone will permanently rearange your everyday patterns.
For people who aren't down with Apple's jive, I hear the android phones are great to.
Girlfriend? Is that like an app or something??? :p:p:pQuote:

Don't joke, I just had a look,there is an app called girlfriend.
There was one called fake girlfriend to. I think you leave your phone in another room and it calls out to you to sound like your girl friend.
Oh, my girl is looking at me kind of O_o. She said something about being a nerd. *retardo
Thanks all for the hints / warnings!! :cool: >:)
I haven't even downloaded anything yet, but I can tell it will easily become a problem :p
Well, since I'm in Knoxville without the laser gear, and we decided not to spend the $$ on the annual back-yard bash, I guess I'll sync up with iTunes and see what happens.
Ya'll send out a search party if you haven't heard back from me in 48 hours.... :eek:
My favorite iPhone apps:
Pandora
Fandango (movie times)
Yelp
NY Times
Google Reader (they have a great iPhone version of the web site)
Plants vs. Zombies - best iphone game
Hi Randy,
Chad was right about the remote app. It's developed by Apple and free. Uses your wireless to control youe entire iTunes library from anywhere in the house (or as far as your wireless signal will go).
some on mine:
Skies of Glory - (cool flying shoot em up)
SAS survival handbook
Planets - (really cool free program that lets you navigate around the night sky)
Wyse RDP - (remote desktop app)
Touch DJ - (excellent DJ app)
Reel Moments - Time lapse app that takes pics every 3 secs or above and then stitches them together to make a movie.
Cheers
Adrian
Yeah that's a great app; all you need is a VNC server on your PC/Mac and the free VNC client on your iPhone. Great for remote controlling many apps :)Quote:

Some of my favourite apps...
VNC for Live Pro control. Not much use in a commercial situation, but it's sure cool to walk out into the middle of a dancefloor and control the cues.
AroundMe... Uses the built in GPS to tell you information about what's around you.
LogMeIn... Remote control of PC's wherever you are.
Star Walk... Uses the built in GPS to find your location and show you the stars around you. Hold the iPhone up to the sky and you'll see stars on the iPhone screen that match what you're looking at in the sky, it also moves around with you as you move to different areas of the sky - really cool.
IMDb... Movie database - All you ever wanted to know about movies.
TouchBB... A great forum browser (This forum has TouchBB support)
Theodolite... It's just cool.
NASA... All the info you ever wanted on what's happening at NASA, shows all the launches and location of ISS.
iSpy... Loads of webcams from all around the world - Fairly pointelss but has some interesting cam's.
Bebot... Really cool Synthesiser.
DigiDrummer... Great electronic drum kit.
DVICE... Great for technology news.
There are loads more, but I guess that should get you started :D
Cheers

If you're an old Commodore (Amiga) fan, know that they've already ported Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies to the Iphone (along with lots of other mobile devices, including the PSP). I think they're working on Pinball Illusions now. (All three are already available for the PC.)
Great way to bring back those Amiga glory days...
Adam
I was hesitant to get the iphone at first, now that I have it, I can't live without it. I've spent too much time playing Labyrinth 2 and Angry Birds! My daughter loves Angry Birds! Smack Talk is also a funny one! I don't recall if Google Earth came with the iphone or if I downloaded the app, but I find that it runs faster on my iphone than on my PC!
Hey Jem, how do you set up the TouchBB thing? I installed it a few weeks ago and tried to put in the PL web address and it didn't work. Thanks for the list of other apps, I'll check them out! I just started using the NASA one, which works great for predicting ISS passes.Quote:

Once that mocking little hamster gets you giggling its all over.
If you want to cheer someone up show them Smack Talk.

I only have an iPod touch... but I would suggest WiFiFoFum... just in case you fall out of AT&T 3G coverage; it scans for local WiFi spots and tells you if they are password protected or not. *retardo
I'd recommend Penguin Panic, it's a tilt-motion iPhone game.

Try it out ;)

Hi fellow iPhone tragics:o
Edison's post about divergence calcs set me off on an app search and I found this. It's an optics calculator app called opticscalc.
I might suggest the developer makes a simple divergence calc app.
Happy downloading you app/crack heads>:)
