Six O’Clock Vintage

Seek those images that constitute the wild, the lion and the virgin, the harlot and the child. Find in middle air an eagle on the wing, recognize the five that make the Muses sing. | W.B Yeats, Those Images

iPhone Apps

I spent the weekend at a cabin in the mountains and so didn’t get a chance to download the the latest iPhone software update until late Sunday evening.  After a frustrating flurrey of “restore, verify, restore” proceedings I finally was forced to delete by back up and do a full restore.  Thanks Apple, my lazy ass rarely-syncing self lost phone numbers, pictures and text messages.  But, I got an App Store, so it’s all good, right?

Hopefully. 

I didn’t actually download any Apps last night, so I’m a bit behind the game.  Question for you first inline, ultra early adopter types out there: which apps should I muddy up my iPhone with first?

Here’s ones I’ll probably play around with this evening, if you have a suggestion give it to me in the comments.

Yelp - because Yelp is good and I should use it more.

Midomi - a song recognition app that means that I won’t have try to remember melodies while calling up Jott with the purpose of singing a warbly version of the radio anthem once I get Jott to figure out that I’m jotting myself.

Box Office - Rotten Tomatoes is the only movie review center I really, like.  Plus it has Fandango.

GuitarToolKit - maybe.  this thing costs $10, but if it works it could be really convenient.

    the 2 apps that I have on my iPhone that I would recommend because they are free is the Bible app, could be made slightly better like a book>chapter>verse drilldown and ability to switch buttons in status bar and Twitterific for Tweeting, free version has some ads. I was using Hahlo the web app for this, but native apps seem to run faster, I can only assume it is due to the minimized amount of data being transferred since the gui logic should be local.
