I love my iPhone. Not because it’s cool looking. Or the most revolutionary device since the home PC. I like it because I can be more productive with it. Now that’s a good toy.

Here’s a look at some of my favorite apps:
MailChimp – I use mailchimp for our ministry newsletters, and this app lets me see up to the minute stats on how our email campaigns are doing.
FlightTrack – helps me keep track of all the flights we are taking, and if any are delayed.
Skype – I pay the $5.95 monthly fee, and I can cal l from anywhere in the world that I can get a wi-fi signal. Used my cell to call my mom from Outback in Manila one time. Sweet.
Dropbox – I use dropbox all the time to share files with people. This little app lets me see those files, and edit them, right on my phone.
Carbonite – If you don’t have Carbonite online backup, you should. Their app is even cooler than their protection service. I can see any file that’s on my PC right on my iPhone. They should charge for this app, but they don’t.
YouVersion Bible – I use this all the time to reference verses, bookmark verses, etc. I even use it to keep track of my weekly Bible memory verse. The only downside is that people think you are playing Pacman on your phone if you decide to use it in church.
There you have it. Some of my favorite apps.
There’s been a lot of fuss over the whole iPhone 4 antennae issue but you’re right, the iPhone is a great toy (and personal assistant!). I think it would be hard to find someone that doesn’t see some merit in it.
It definintely revolutionized communications…..it has it’s bugs, but it is still the best smart phone in my opinion….everyone else is playing catch-up
Maybe some day I will join the technology revolution and get an iPhone. Those apps look both useful and fun.
