Latest Thoughts on My iPhone

Just wanted to post another ramble about my iPhone...

Development

I'm kind of stuck at the moment. I feel like I want to write an iPhone application, but I'm having trouble figuring out a project that's feasible for me... I want something with 0 overhead for cost... and is simple and small enough for me to tackle and see results right away. If anyone has ideas, let me know...

Service

Had some problems with my service the other day. Starting on Sunday morning, my iPhone reported "No Service" all day and into Monday. Nobody could help me out... and eventually I landed at the Apple Store, with a long waiting list for their "Genius Bar" which scheduled me for 4:15 pm today... So instead I decided to be brave and click the "Restore" button in iTunes... And VOILA! I had my iPhone back to normal!

Applications

Installed a few applications lately to play with... here are my thoughts on each one.

WhitePages: It's pretty useful... the reverse phone lookup is where it's at. I love doing reverse lookups on the random calls I get on my new iPhone...

Tris: This app was taken down, but I snagged it before hand for free. It's Tetris. It's free.

What's On?: This is the exact application, including name, that I wanted to build for the iPhone. Did some modeling and at $.99 that they charge, it would be tough... but it's a pretty good app. There needs to be some UI improvements but it's not butt ass ugly like most apps out there.

Air Sharing: Haven't tried it yet, it's free right now and supports a boat load of files. It's basically a WebDAV drive you can hook up in any OS as a real drive...

LED Football: Old school LED Football style... fun for sure!

What's everyone else using lately and liking?
