My iPhone, again
I had the first generation iPhone back in 2008. Needless to say, it was a god-awesome mobile phone and much more. I loved it and though it was beginning to show a bit of wear and tear, it was working just fine.
I then lost it, during a rather unfortunate incident. But the missing iPhone was really the least of my worries then.
So, yesterday when Shalin and I discussed buying an iphone again ( he had one too and had an unfortunate incident of his own), we decided to check it out at Univercell Live. Retail tactics, an aggressive salesman and my urge to get one again meant that I had one again by the end of the day.
The most exciting part of this second innings is that I can now download applications. There are so many of those out there, one for almost any reason you can think of. Here’s 3 free applications that I downloaded yesterday,
1. Twitterific: I have been on twittering rather actively these days, realizing what a wonderful tool it is, and how it can help connect so effortlessly. So after a bit of hunt, Twitterific (Free) was on my iphone. Neat interface, much like the desktop one. And I really don’t mind the occasional ad.
2. Facebook: One follows the other these days, huh! Anyway, simple application for the iphone and a welcome change from the over crowded, uninteresting, news-fed homepage of Facebook on my browser. Easy to post status updates and see friends profiles. Btw, I couldn’t find a way to comment on my own Status again. Clicking on one of the comments goes to the friend’s profile page.
3. Twitter link: A small application which makes it easy to post a safari link to your twitter account. Generates a small URL and lets you add the same from within Safari. The setup process was a bit roundabout, but works well in the end.
I’m going to try and come back with more applications that I find useful in the coming days. Ah, I could probably try the WordPress app. Any other interesting suggestions? I know I will be downloading Evernote today.
