I love my iPhone. It does all I need it to do:
- email, scheduling (though it would be nice if syncing were easier with Oracle), addresses
- syncing URL’s thanks to Xmarks
- notes, tasks, unit conversions, VNC control over my desktop computer, voice recording
- accessing, editing, and creating databases thanks to Bento
- taking photos, playing videos and my music (downloaded and via Pandora)
- portable file storage accessible via wireless networks
- IM’ing, tweeting, Skype phone calls over WiFi
- movie listings, Netflix and TiVo management, maps, weather
- eBook readers, news aggregation
- advanced star charts for use with my telescope thanks to StarmapPro
- grilling recipes from Weber’s On the Grill
- and a few games to boot!
Now, how cool would it be to make my own apps! I just read about a course offered through Stanford being taught by Apple employees! I’m going to have to check this out when I’m done with my current course from Lynda.com.
I wonder what kind of app I’d make. What about you?
