first iTunes iPhone App bill arrives!
My first iTunes bill since purchasing the iPhone arrived today. The long list with company-name details and the final total gave me a chuckle. All this excitement - for free!
So far my favorite apps have been Exposure, Bloomberg, and Midomi. Exposure’s “Near Me” feature of showing photos taken in your current vicinity is great; Bloomberg’s slick black interface is cool and easy to read; Midomi’s incredible accuracy is fun to say the least (has not been very successful with J-tunes though). Of course, I use Twitterrific regularly, but the lag between button presses is getting annoying. Rotary Dialer is a fun party favor, and Tap Tap Revenge is entertaining when killing time.
Overall I have been quite satisfied with the iPhone purchase. The battery and occasional lag are the most annoying insufficiencies, but can or should be compensated for in due time (there are plenty of 3rd party battery-pack options if you include iPod battery packs; lag I suspect are memory / coding bugs that will be fixed on updates). MobileMe / push of email, contacts, and calendar have been working pretty well for me. Props to the team for extending an extra month for free after the initial hiccups!
So, am I missing any apps you’re enjoying?

I mainly use Twittelator for quick posting there’s no lag.
If you get an US iTunes account you can enjoy last.fm (not as good as the jailbreak), pandora, AOL radio and others. I might post a link to the list on how to do it.
