Have been playing with my new toy (I am apt to do that:)). Downloaded a couple of free apps that I have found useful.
The first one was Remote – this app allows me to run the iTunes site on my PC from my iPhone (having to use the small i capital next letter will drive me crazy for a while – thought I got a way from that with dBase) , but I digress. Remote allows me to set up playlists and songs in iTunes and then lets me run the playback from anywhere on the internal Wi-Fi network.
The second is the Zillow app – was recently in an area where we were looking at properties – would have been nice to have the Zillow app along with so that we could see the houses that they have listed and the virtual tours that are included. Would have helped looking at some and would have quickly eliminated others as well as letting us know what else might be of interest in the neighborhood. I am saying this with the limitation of not having tried this yet in a live environment, but coupling the recent experience with the information that I see in the app, I do think it will work fine. (I don’t always agree with Zillow’s evalutaions – but where they are displaying the house’s listing price they seem to be correct).
I do believe that I will be using the iPhone as a tool more than my older Windows Mobile phone (HTC Tilt) - primarily do to the interface – it makes it easy to do the thing you want as quickly as possible with out fumbling with a stylus.
More to come!
