Arrow What iPhone apps do you use?

Hey guys. Decided to make some off-topic here.

What kind of apps do you use on iPhone or maybe android?

There are 3 my favorites. Mostly games:
1. Angry Birds
2. Masters of Backgammon
3. Cut the rope


I'd like to find more cool apps/games.

Share yours

If you guys are in the mood, tell what some of those apps do please.

I am unimpressed with apps not really delivering what I think they should.

Am actually thinking of giving my iphone to my son and going back to my dinosaur phone. Less carbon in it too!

None. I like the phone, don't like the rigid control (dare we call it facism or parental attitude?) behind it.

I like being able to replace a battery, rather than the phone. Apple says no.

I like being able to upgrade the memory, already done that twice. Apple says, buy a new phone.

I like being able to plug in an external antenna. Apple has always said, don't even think about it.

Hey, I'm the customer, not the toddler chewing on your toy. If I drop the phone in the puddle, I want to be able to PULL THE BATTERY NOW and not cook the internals while I go chasing down a security screwdriver.

Nice phone. No sale. Glad they're following their own drummer, sorry it just isn't my tune.
