How’s that iPhone of your’s doing?!

It’s finally here, the new must have gadget for the aspiring geek, the 3g iPhone. That’s if you can get one. The lines here in Chicago at both the Apple store and the AT&T store down the block have been quite long. I figured they would have disapated a bit by now but I guess not.

Of course all this hoopla hasn’t gone without its share of problems. The Apple store site has been down at times (or at least unresponsive), the At&T store site has been down at times, and those of you with first generation iPhones who tried to upgrade the “official way” have beeen lucky to get through the entire upgrade process without it stalling and essentially stoping your iPhone from making calls over the phone network. But like all things Apple I’m sure this will pass and it will be on the cover of every magazine and newspaper for the next few weeks of not months.

I myself will be getting one, but not just yet. I have a few months left on my Verizon account and I want to sit back and let the dust settle a little on the iPhone apps side. There are over 500 of those apps and some look really interesting. Here are a few that caught my eye:

Truphone - VOIP for your iPhone over WIFI (this sounds great for those of us who travel!)

Remote - Remote control for your iTUnes Library (s)

Evernote - complete life capture software for your iPhone

Jott - converts your voice mail into text, messages, and emails

Yelp - Location aware software for the traveler

Where - the most sofisticated location aware software for your iPhone

Those were all from the lifehacker article found here. Take a look, there list is far longer than mine, as this was just the few that I have my eye on for now.

Ok, go and enjoy the day for me kids. See ya’
