What’s on your iPhone?
So you have the new 2.0 software installed and you’ve thrown a bunch of applications from the App Store on your iPhone. Tell us: what’s on your iPhone? Here’s a (already slightly outdated) set of screenshots of what is on my iPhone (the first of 4 screens is pictured above).
In case you didn’t know how to take screenshots of your iPhone 2.0, simply hold down the Home button and click the power button up top. The screen will flash white for a second and take a screenshot which will show up alongside all the pictures you took with the camera. I’m not sure if this works on the iPod Touch or not (someone please give it a try and let me know in the comments).
So far, Scrabble and de Blob are the best two games I’ve grabbed for the iPhone. Scrabble has crashed a few times on me, but fortunately it remembers where it was when it crashed, so no big deal. AIM is the only app that has brought the entire iPhone into a reboot. AOL Radio and Pandora on the iPhone are killer apps. Who needs GBs of storage on the iPhone for songs when you can stream all kinds of stuff over EDGE or WiFi? My 4GB iPhone just got a lot more useful as an iPod.
I wish there was an iPhone version of Twhirl capable of handling both FriendFeed (*) and Twitter (*). Twitteriffic is cool, but it’s too dependent on just Twitter to be truly useful given how often Twitter is down these days.
Evernote (*) for the iPhone is great. Now I can host notes, audio, and pictures in the cloud (and it even does OCR on the pictures to pull text from them, effectively turning your iPhone into a scanner).
I’m really glad that I didn’t give in to my gadget lust for an iPhone 3G (*). With the iPhone 2.0 update, my iPhone is already a much more useful device than it was and, honestly, I’m around WiFi often enough where the lack of 3G doesn’t matter. I mean, even when I was out and about rocking EDGE yesterday, I was streaming music over Pandora with no problems whatsoever. That’s amazing.
So anyway, what’s on your iPhone?

Twitteriffic is kinda meh.
FriendFeed’s iphone interface is so nice it doesn’t really need an app.
