	->> I came across this site recently http://www.firstand20.com/ and thought it was interesting and useful to see what other iPhone apps people found useful. I posted screenshots of my apps on my blog. http://joshuabrown.posterous.com/iphone-screens-sept-09 I would be interested to see what the rest of you folks are using lately.

->> Does Best Camera still auto caption with the authors name or did they do away with that quite annoying "feature" ?

Looks really nice otherwise but that was a deal breaker for me...

I personally love Darkness btw, awesome $.99 app that tells you the azimuth and altitude of the sun and moon now and in the future. Really handing for figuring out where on the horizon the sun will rise or set for doing landscapes

->> Jamie,

I did say I'd not consider the iPhone. What happened? More than a year ago a I was given an iPhone and told to make it into a primary business travel tool.

From there I started writing extensively about iPhone Apps on Flying With Fish, as well as for outside clients. That lead to me having presently Beta tested more than a dozen travel apps for iPhones and having worked with travel companies and airlines to investigate their potential to serve passengers better through mobile phone app solutions.

I still use an iPhone 2G, I may move into a 3G, however being handed an iPhone with a specific purpose of how to use the iPhone changed my perspective.

Would I have gone out and purchased one? No. My e-mail is still done via my BlackBerry. My text messaging, also a BlackBerry use, the iPhone is for calling and using and exploring Apps. Now that I have used the iPhone, I still wish it had a swappable battery, but it has become an incredible tool which I enjoy exploring.

Hopefully that explains it.

->> I use many of the apps posted above also, but I have not seen autostitch mentioned.

It's kinda like a mobile PTGui.

It's pretty darn cool to shoot, stitch, and post panos all from iPhone. It actually blends pretty darn good also. I have been shooting half the shots exposed basically above the horizon (sky), and half the shots exposed basically below the horizon for the ground, with a bit of overlap so it can stitch, and it outputs an image exposed nicely for both.

It also has a nice autocrop to crop to the max amount of the pano.

->> I am in the process of reorganizing the screens on my iPhone to put my Apps back in order...but in the process I made screen shots of my 10 pages of Apps.

You can see the Apps currently in my iPhone here:
http://www.sportsshooter.com/sefrischling/iphoneapps

Some are being removed, a few more are being added, some redundant ones will be axed in the next day...but this is what is on the iPhone at the moment.

One App everyone should keep on their phone is iMedJet. It is a great medical first response App that addresses a wide range of emergency situations. You never know where you'll be or what you might encounter at work or otherwise and it is a great resource for handling emergency medical situations. You can check it out here:

	->> Prelo, The iPhone is great, no tin can or string! They also eliminated the Party Line, so you can call when you want to!

Delane B. Rouse, Photographer, Photo Editor

	Washington \| DC \| US \| Posted: 6:51 PM on 11.21.09
	->> with ANY/ALL iphones you pay a $30 fee for unlimited data. The apps use that data so there is no additional data charge. There may or may not be a cost for the app itself... Did that answer the question? Delane

Dave Prelosky, Photographer

	Lower Burrell \| Pa \| US \| Posted: 6:56 PM on 11.21.09
	->> delane - you take the gold star. so its a $30 data plan plus the regular monthly plan? thanx

->> for you 30 plus arcade fans, I just go Vector Tanks, the iphone version of Battlezone! Funn.......comes in handy when I am stuck in the car with my wife who has me pull over to feed the baby!

Also go Trapster, which finds police cars on your route so you can avoid tickets. You would be amazed how many I find, and they are actually there! Almost better than radar!

Photoshop-awesome! Can't wait for it to come out on my computer!

Magic Seaweed-cause when the surf is above 8 ft, there is no shooting that day...only play

If you want to waste some time, my username is rcaplin...

Also, iDisk is a great app for sending large files...just upload the file to your idisk and you can then send the file as a download link to anyone via email using the app. Works wonders!
