Must have Mac addict apps (for me at least)...

- Wunder Radio
- The Weather Channel (hey it gets -30 below her and I WANNA know)
- Rev Lite (g force accelerometer)
- iPint (kewl show off beer thing - drink and drive!)
- Labyrinth Lite
- Tap Tap Revenge (daughter loves this)

Just download away! All part of the excellent experience from Apple.

On a related note, we were behind a guy who tinkering on his iPhone in the theatre and I was amazed to watch him scroll through 10 pages of apps. Is this normal? I barely have two pages.
For the record, I was one of those guys that held off on a cell phone for the longest time and then only wanted the most basic plan with the free phone. Now, I really enjoy this phone - way too much "power" at your fingertips.

I downloaded Track Day for timing my laps at my track events. This past weekend the app was with in 1/10 of a second +/- with my rented transponder. The G-force meter gave me an idea of cornering g's. The only downside is saving and downloading are not supported at this time. But for $12 it was a hell of a lot cheaper then buying a timing system.

The GPS apps are pretty nice also, so far GPS MotionX is my favorite and it was only 2.99. Allows for downloads and you can overlay onto google maps when saved.

PhotoGenie is a cool app and I also like the app called Light, its interesting and allows you to add more light to a darker photo. It actually works very well. Being a photo buff I would imagine you will like them both.

Theres a few others I will list to you later, I cant remember at the moment adn my iPhone is awol.

I have the original Iphone...purchase right before they knocked off the $100.00, not a 3G.

Do you know if these downloads apply to the old phones also,or just the 3G?

Just read this thread for the first time and can't believe no one has mentioned Dynolicious. It is an awesome app for anyone interested measuring your cars performance in things like lateral, acceleration and braking g-force; 1/4 mile speeds, 0-60 times, horsepower, etc. It uses the accelerometer and GPS already in your iPhone to its full advantage. May be the best 12 bucks you ever spent.

Read about it at www.dynolicious.com or just Google "Dynolicious" and see what everyone else has to say.

OK, beyond that you NEED to have "vlingo" (Google by voice and much more) www.vlingo.com and this one is FREE!

I also use "Car Care" http://www.karlbecker.com/carcare/ which helps me keep up with the fill-ups, maintenance and other stats. If you drive multiple cars, this is very handy.

These are definately the best iPhone App picks I have to share with automobile enthusiests. Enjoy!

In the Jan/Feb issue of the 356 Reg. Bulletin there is an article on that app called "dynolicious".

Pretty cool.
