Challenge Accepted – Day 12

Day 12 – Something You Love

For the gadget geek that I am, I have to say I love my iPhone. If I forgot my phone or my wallet, I’m more likely to turn the car around to get my phone rather than my wallet. I know it’s pretty bad. I did have a life before the iPhone. I actually didn’t get one until the 3G came out.

iPhone Apps I Can’t Live Without

• Calendar – Helps me keep track of my calendar especially when I’m planning 5by5 guests on the go.
• Mail – Allows me to check all my email for work, 5by5, and personal.
• Shazam – Identifies the songs I hear while I’m out or watching shows so I can download from iTunes later.
• Clock or Sleep Cycle – Alarms me when I need to wake up.
• iReconcile – Keeps up with my finances.
• Starbucks Mobile Card – Buys my Starbucks in the morning without bringing in my wallet.
• IMDb – Proves to my friends that I’m right about movie facts (most of the time).
• Camera – Captures my life in a picture or video. Who needs a real camera.

iPhone Games

• Angry Birds* – Launching an angry birds to take revenge on pigs. Addictive.
• Cut the Rope* – Feeding your alien candy. Tricky
• Big Bad Sudoku Book* – Playing with numbers that isn’t money.
• Fruit Ninja* – Clean, easy way to destroy fruit w/o the stickiness.
• Flight Control* – Respecting the flight traffic controllers by playing this game.
• Qrank – Expanding my brain with random facts while competing with friends.
• Tiny Wings – Teaching a bird to glide and fly gives me a good break from the angry ones.

* Game Center apps

I have tried using Android phones but I prefer iOS. If I had to suggest phones to my friends, I’d rather them have an iPhone or an Android over a Blackberry any day.
