My iPhone was very slow as the 3G came out. Just to let you know, I downloaded the latest update to the iPhone first gen and now its up to speed. Thanks to all who helped.

Urbanspoon was great on my latest vacation. It's a great app to show off to non-iPhone users, too. Shake it and watch it respond. Nothing but wide-eyed gazes. Fun stuff.

I bought Linguo, a language translator. It came out a few days before I went to Spain and the audio clips proved to be quite helpful!

I want a combo of those called 'Spoon Travel'. If you don't like how something taste, just shake it.....

A handy program I use is actually on my iMac called Periscope, which instantly emails me pictures taken when the iMac sees movement or hears a noise. When I am out of town, I know when the maintenance guys come through, and see what they are doing (within the field of view). This is not iPhone specific, but would be less useful without one.

I use my iPhone to call Rose across multiple universes.
I like to see how she is getting on with the other me.
Lucky git.

I want guided tours of every must see cultural/architectural location in every city, every ruin/archeological dig, every geological/geographical wonder and every nude beach on the planet.

$10 a city or $2 an attraction with running commentary on every fountain, statue, painting and naked woman.

"Downloadable applications from Apple's iTunes App Store can turn your iPhone into [an even more] helpful traveling companion.

CAN is the operative word here folks.

At this point I wouldn't come to rely on any iPhone app. For those who need the reminder, Vladimir Jobs has given himself the power to shut down any of the apps, for the great sin of being "inappropriate".

I for one cannot depend on things Apple might take away...

Mr whim
I don' think you will ever see the kill switch used any more than a nuke is used. It is there as a final solution, not crowd control.

If Abraham Jobs ever used it for anything short of saving users from a trojan or whatnot, he would quickly become Nicholas Jobs, last Czar of Apple....

Will any of these apps work with my iTele during teleportation?

@Apple's whim

it is funny how many people who make that kind of argument also vote republican and use MS products. the definition of hypocrisy. great stuff.......

@Shen

I take offense to that. See, I do vote Republican, mostly (Libertarian where I can). But to lump me in with those using MS products!!? Sheesh!

You should know better, which is why you probably don't.

Yeah, but 'Vladimir Jobs'? WTF?
He is a good guy - if you cant see that Steve's a cool guy, and a good man to boot, then look a little harder.

You American boys and girls should know that most of the rest of the world thinks your 'Republicans' are nothing more than little fascists, BTW.

Just so you know, OK? No offence intended, its just information.

I know how the USA can feel like a little planet all to itself....but it aint.

I don't think that 'most of the rest of the world' gives a shit, other than your Socialist friends.

I know that many non-Americans can feel unimportant, but most are, present company excluded....

> The Blackberry will continue to flourish. Believe it or not, it's a fact.

No, it's an opinion, a prediction, but it's not a fact

Republican .... Democrat .... I'm so sick of all that crap. I hate to say it, but there is good and bad in both groups. None pf it belongs here.

@i want my iTele

Since your iTele is in your mind you can do pretty much anything you want there.
