Hey. New board.

Mine are pandora, word warp, wikipanion, cell tracker, idoodle2 lite, the weather channel, docs2go. If you jailbreak (I recommend it) then I love iRealQuickSMS, snes4iphone, xGPS, and GV Mobile.

  • Classics (nicely readable classic texts like Call of the Wild, Alice in Wonderland)
  • Light (use your screen for a flashlight)
  • Now Playing (looks up movies and showtimes near you)

I'm taking note of the ones listed here, some I haven't tried.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

my faves are: Facebook, Solitaire(the free one. there are a bunch of paid, but the free one is just as effective), Tweetdeck, iBowl, Bowl Lite(it's Skee Ball!), Urbanspoon, Zippo Lighter (for those times when you go to concerts), Word Warp, Fandango and White Noise.

If you jailbreak (I recommend it)

Seriously? I don't understand why anybody would ever run the risk of trashing such an expensive toy. I can't think of anything that I need my phone to do that badly.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

What is jailbreaking, in terms of the iPhone?

(Not, I assume, using it to dig a tunnel out of your maximum-security cell?)

I want to search for urls of the forms *wind*.* meaning something or nothing followed by wind followed by something or nothing dot anything.

Not page content, but the urls of that form. With all the search engines out there can anyone think of a search engine or search engine/parameter combo that will do that?

Jailbreak is a hack of the phone to bypass the Apple restrictions, so you can install what ever you want. It violates the user agreement, and if the phone needs service, Apple can refuse. And there was talk of Apple turning them into iBricks if you jailbreak it.

I forgot to mention Docs2Go. Just got it. Can't wait for excel on it. The Weather Channel app is good too. Flixster is pretty good.

  • If you have NetFlix, PhoneFlicks is ok. Clunky, but ok.

  • If you are a baseball fan, AtBatLite.

  • If you want to control your iTunes from anywhere in wi-fi range, Remote (also works great at Prom with Drew's ever so smart DJ'ing set up).

  • Sol Free is the solitaire that play. It's 4 or 5 free games, and you can pay to get more. I'm fine with the free ones TYVM.

  • Set (card game)

  • KPCC Radio (So Cal NPR)

  • Track Hurricanes Free

  • Flickit (for posting pictures to your Flickr account)

  • Epicentral (earthquake tracker)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I want to search for urls of the forms *wind*.* meaning something or nothing followed by wind followed by something or nothing dot anything.

I googled search url wildcard and found some interesting matches. Do you have Firefox 3? It does that automatically: [link]

Check out this site: [link] It found me 87611 matches. (The same url but different .whatevers count as one match, with checkboxes to show if .com, .net, etc exist for the url.
