alot of these apps were created before the iphone--they work with ipods and have other uses. worth looking at... i use a bunch of them. the writer just wrote a book with someone at gizmodo on the iphone...they know all the tricks and hacks

the most important ones don't work on the iphone. What is REALLY needed is an alternative way to transfer media from the PC and the ability to send stuff with bluetooth
