I'm liking appmarks.com better.

I'm kinda not liking these web-based apps. Apple needs to think hard and long about their current 3rd-party app solution.

Has anyone tried Mojits (before I make the leap)?

Thanks, Jonahan! Appmarks is pretty cool.

@ No Squirt For You

I just tried it. It's alright, I guess, but I'm with justified - launching Safari and potentially waiting for EDGE to load web pages isn't really what I want in an app. I like the Grocery List, for instance, but how long will I have to wait for it to load in the store?

More testing is required.

Wow, that was fast!
All these web apps so soon...
And some of them are really nice!

What happens when a widget whore downloads too many widgets? what I mean by whore is the individual who cannot help but download any and all the widgets without being selective.....Will that person's iphone crash? cease to function? run out memory? wot? wot?

I'm one of the people who is in love with iPhone but won't get one until there are "real" 3rd party apps, not just web apps. I have a couple (simple) apps on my Palm that I can't live without and I really hope Apple rethinks/reconsiders their position on 3rd party apps.

Thanks, C1! I think I'll stick with appmarks for awhile. I have this weird feeling that there will be more sites like these soon. Or it's just gas from lunch.

Can't get the iPhoneiChat to work using my ichat account, either on the iPhone or on the Mac.

I'm entering "myaccount@mac.com"
I also tried with just "myaccount"

Should I get an AOL AIM account ?

Anyone got it to work ?

anyone using jajah on the iPhone ? Does it work well ?

@ No Squirt ...

Maybe it's that damned camel's milk.

justified: No chance. I rode a few camel's when I was in Israel. Useful for the desert but disgusting, smelly creatures that spit and kick. I'd rather milk myself than drink from a camel.


MW: indeed. Indeed.

"I rode a few camel's . . ."

Make that "I rode a few camels . . ." The possessive has some even more sick implications.

Most of the widgets not working for me ... plus the Flickr one will not make photos larger than original thumbnail ....hmmm

And iphoneapplicationlist.com keeps freezing up Safari on my iMac. It seems like it has a lot it's trying to load into the browser. Or it's just me.

Why doesn't the iPhone have a cut & paste feature or MMS? Why can't link address sent in text messages to the Google Maps application? Why, Why, WHYYYY!!!!!

-Any work arounds?

We are such fanboys.

If Microsoft offered this as a solution for developers we'd have laughed our asses off. We have called them idiots. We'd have insisted that this is just some Microsoft scheme to control the world. We'd never have said "let's test it out and see" or some such nonsense.

This is the United States. Access to wireless networks while mobile is at best sketchy. You might get lucky and find WiFi at the local book store, McDonalds, or coffee shop, but I seldom visit any of those places.

In addition, I'm not loading anything that vaguely looks like personal data on someone's fly by night "I'm an iPhone App Provider" site.

The iPhone is shaping up to be the dumbest smart phone on the market. It is gorgeous and fairly non-functional.

I agree with thelonius ... Apple is doing the same thing we all criticizie wireless carriers such as Verizon for ... crippling the capabilities of the mobile device in order to maintian control over how revenue is generated with it.

What Apple is doing to 3rd party developers is no different than what wireless carriers do when they "turn-off" certain features that conflict with their revenue stream.

I'm disappoint that the iphone camera doesn't do video, zoom, etc.; that there's no MMS; there's no cut & paste; there's no google maps link for address recieved in a text message; that there's no text message forwarding capability... Treo's have had these features for at least 3 years now.... but the iPhone's supposed to be 5 years ahead of everything else on the market?

I'm sure 3rd party app's could solve many of these issues.

I'm assuming you must be on-line to use these web apps. If you've got WiFi that's great but if you're on ATT Edge it would probably get frustrating quickly.

At the very least it would be nice if the web apps could be cached locally. Can that be done?
