COOLIO! Careful with that thing. It is addictive. I got to the point where I couldn't go anywhere without it! Then, I wanted internet access in more places and it ultimately ended up with me getting an iPhone. Here's my list of favorite apps:

Acro Bible NIV Plus: (don't get this one right now because they are having technical difficulties with the installation of the new version. But once done it's wonderful to have the entire Bible in such a compact form.

WDW mini-maps: they have one for each park. if you're planning a trip to WDW and arent familiar with their layouts this will be nice.

Countdown+: This is a fun app that countdowns the days until special events.

Documents To Go: The best word processor for the iPhone/iTouch. But their spreadsheet is not ready for prime time yet.

Dots Free: fun game.

eReader or Kindle: apps for reading eBooks. I've used both and they're both great I lean toward Kindle because of the Amazon selection is great and downloading is easy. You'll never want to carry a book around again!

Fandongo: for finding out what's at the movies.

Flood it: fun game.

Ged-View: if you're into Genealogy.

Peggle: just like the computer game. very fun!

Phone flix: for accessing your NetFlix account

Photobucket: for accessing you photobucket account.

Spreadsheet: If you absolutely have to have a spreadsheet program and can't wait until Docs-to-go finishes theirs.

Sudoku (free): fun game.

Toy Story Mania: Awesome! A must have!

LOL! I should have kept reading...awesome list! I have Stanza for an ebook reader - I didn't know you could get Kindle. I will have to discuss that with DH to see if he'd want to do something like that. He loves ebooks - he will read at lunch every day.

I did find a free app to let me keep track of what I eat and stuff - that might be useful to try and get back into the losing weight swing of things.

Sigh...back to cleaning unfortunately, but it's going well. DS just went through toys to get rid of - he got ri of quite a bit which is good!

Too cool. Thanks Cass.

OK folks, here are a couple pictures of the front of the house. I'm trying to decide between the hunter green shutters (on the left) or the black shutters (on the right) for the rest of the house. You really can't see the roof but the shingles are black. The new siding is Pearl (not white).

I really like the green but am afraid that there will be too many colors on the house with it. Black roof, white trim, Pearl Siding and red brick. I also think it might look too Christmasey.

The storm windows are not in the picture either. All the windows are trimmed in black right now, so try to visualize that in there too.

DECISIONS, DECISIONS!!!

Steve, still going with the green now that you see it?

When you first described it I was thinking green (but didn't get a chance to post.) Now that I see photos I'd vote black.

I LOVE it! DH got one last year, and I have been a bit envious...

The coverage for the iphone isn't great in our area yet (plus we have about 1 1/2 years on our cell contract) so I was happy to wait on the iphone for now.

So, anyone with an iphone or itouch, feel free to recommend your favorite apps!

There are a few great apps I have found if you are going to the parks. One is WDW times which pulls from the Disney website and lists all the times for the shows,parades,etc. for any specific day. Also WDW dining is an app that lists every food service location in every park with menus and pricing. They are both very helpful and I am planning to use them when we are in the World before the cruise.

I love black shutters

Thanks Steve! I downloaded Fandango! and Countdown + after reading your list.

Chis, I really like the Acro Bible. it's easy to use and customizable. Really bummed that the Apple version is buggy right now. They say they are working with Apple to figure out the problem. I still have it on my iTouch. Just stupidly deleted it off my iPhone to try to get the upgrade app to load. Now I have to sit in church with the iTouch on one leg for the Bible and the iPhone on the other to write my notes. Major techno geekiness.

I think that $20 is what it was for the iPhone too. Cool that they have it availiable for the Blackberry.

I got it! I was tempted to read my Scripture this morning from my BlackBerry, but went old school instead. I would have raised a few eyebrows.

I just got bought an app that is WDW Maps. It uses GPS to show you whatever you want to know. It's still downloading to my storm, so I will check it out after it installs.

Yes, I'm thinking the green shutters looked better in my head than they do on the house. When I put them up this morning, I liked the black much better myself. Thanks kids!! Black it is!!!

Off to the paint store.

I need to paint our shutters too. Maybe next month when it is a little cooler.

Shoot - I really should not be reading this thread.... makes me want to get more apps for the phone!!! LOL

One game I liked (and it's relatively cheap) is Yahtzee. Another one is the Chipotle ordering app.

I haven't looked for Disney world ones - have to search on those.

Too cool. Thanks Cass.

Well - I see it's too late for me to vote - but seeing that Green is my favorite color, I would have gone with that. However, since your house is brick - I would say the black goes the best.

Make sure to share the "after" pics!!

 

[KSFrogge]

Got my cruise packet yesterday - been reading it front to back!! We are getting really excited!!

 

[Tinkerbell.RN]

Just catching up (again!). Thought I'd add to the iPhone apps list. Matthew has a couple of games. One is "Sally's Spa". The kids and I both played this on our trip to WDW in July. He also has one that is landing airplanes. I don't know what it's called. He put this one on my iPod. It's a bit addictive for how simple the game is. Since he got his iPhone, I've been wanting to upgrade to one too! My old phone uses a stylus and is not very easy. It looked great when I got it, but it's just too fussy to use. So I may be joining the iPhone club soon.
