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.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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.
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)
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.
Yes, the domain search does exactly what I want. I happened to notice a site turn up the other day in a completely unrelated search that had some stuff I was really interested in but had never shown up in normal google searches. I realized that for some reason it was not just not index well or maybe was there but 1 thousanth result or whatever. So being able to search domains rather than content might be a back door way of finding certain content. And it is. I've turned up few interesting things already. Now bookmarked. Again, thanks.
Ooh, a set app! Thanks! And a few of those others i already had downloaded, but some othrs I'll look into. I say as I type on my phone while waiting for breakfast!
meara: shazam, which is an app that will recognize songs that are playing and give you all the deets (very cool and useful)
and Flightracker which is an awesome way to keep up with flight status!!!! Perfect for you!
are the apps that are for the iPhone also available to the iPod Touch? Is there a way to do crossword puzzles on an iPhone?
I'd love to get an iPhone, but ATT reception is crap here. But my sister's iPod Touch is sweet for internet stuff.
