What other iPhone Apps are you using? Any other good games (especially free ones)? Any hidden gems? I'll start it out by saying check out writing pad ( phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=285484703&mt=8). It is a completely new way to type on the iPhone. Instead of tapping letters, you drag the shape of the word and the program intelligently guesses the word you want. Try it, you will wish Apple implemented it as the main keyboard for every app. Also check out Cro-Mag-Rally, if you're willing to pay for it. It's the only app i've actually bought so far (besides the iPod touch 2.0 update). |

-AquaForest-. Ive bought 8 games so far, and it is -by far- the best payed game on the appstore. It is infinatly worth the price. I have this game as well, one of the best apps. At 7.99 it isn't bad. I wish it had been more like 4.99/5.99 though. It has about 30 or so levels to go through which are supposed to get progressively harder but.. don't really. I have BoxOffice which I like a lot because of how easy it is to check the movie times. Cube Runner - Free game that is simple but fun (just like slalom free game online but with tilting) Mobile Banking - By Bank of America - Free, nice app if you use Bank of America Light - Free, no frills flashlight Aurora Feint - Best app and best free app, would pay 19.99 for this (if bugs fixed) Tap Tap Revenge - Free fun guitar hero rip for the iPhone, really good "port" or remake of it, good music too. WeDict - Huge free dictionary, easy and fast. Beats dictionary.com IGN Game Reviews - List and control an incoming feed of IGN reviews for movies, games, ect. Pandora Radio - Nice radio app, website has been around for a while. Fast way to stream a variety of music NYTimes - A userfriendly way to look at the news, and 100% free. Jott for iPhone - Turns voice into notes, short amount of time and mic does not pick up on distance, it is free though. I would pay for an unlimited record amount. AIM - Not bad, was using beejive/meebo before. This is a nice fix, easy and fast to log into/out of. Not sure on how it is with sending/recieving message while the app is not open. I like beejive for that (although I wish I could get a vibration for when I get a new msg). I have a few others, but those are my favorites so far. |

True, Puzzle mode is a bit lacking, but Free mode is why you buy the game. |

So far I've used AF (which I'm loving)
Remote, which is alright. Be better if it streamed the music to my ipod touch so I could listen to whatever was in my itunes library anywhere in the house.
Phonesaber, for those moments when I really need to pretend I have a tiny light saber inside a glass case. As it turns out these moments are less frequent then I expected.
Tap Tap Revolution, which is OK, but pretty unimaginative for a Guitar Hero clone. But hey, it's free.
Facebook, not sure why this is an app, I'm yet to spot a difference between using this and using the old iphone facebook website. Haven't had any bugs on it yet but I keep reading it's a stinker.
*off to google Aqua Forest*

Do you spend anytime playing Jirbo Arcade Icon? I feel like with AF, it would just be a complete waste  |

Not really. The match game is kind of fun, takes me back to the old days of flash cards when I was a kid (not that I'm old anyway). My girl likes the match game. We've been waiting for Oregon to get some more white 16GB iPhones in so she can get one and she can leave mine alone. She's cutting into my AF time. >.<

Oh, and in case anyone was interested.. the AIM app is a waste of time. You don't get alerts of new messages when the phone is not in the app itself. Don't get messages at the Home screen, or when the phone is locked, or in another app. Stupid.

Really a waste, maybe mobile me will have an answer. |

There's an application in the works called "Apollo Instant Messenger" that works just like a messenger program on a computer. Pops up your messages like you received a text message and shows a red bubble w/how many new messages/convo's you have going. Really a neat app. It'll be coming along soon here.

They had this back in the start of jailbreaking/iPhones in general, not sure what ever happened to it after that. At that point it was a decent app but beejive still worked more consistently. |

Oh, the only beejive app I know of is a web application. I think apple's got a major software producer coming up with a really good app too tho. I saw it during one of the keynote speeches that steve jobs made back last month.

Yeah I saw that too, they are working on something. I have even seen rumors of iChat for the iPhone.. soo, we just have to sit and wait.
And yeah, sorry Jacob, meant to say Web App there regarding BeeJive. Apollo was a good one on the phone, but BeeJive, even as a Web App dominated it imo.
Hopefully we get something serious here pretty soon.
