I love Evernote! I have a lot of time wasters, like Angry Birds, Simply Ludo (addicting), and Racing Games. For my business, I need to photograph products, so I have Photography 101, which teaches you the principles of photography. It’s quite useful, complete with videos on the basics, like shutter speed, composition, depth of field, and portrait photography. Right now, I’m using Blux Camera to take my photos. It have very good resolution, and allows me to control everything that a DSLR does (such as contrast, temperature, and sharpness). It also has a number of filters, and more modes than my DSLR does… like food, snow, rain, etc. I like that it allows me to apply the effects before I take the photo, so I know exactly how it will look and never need to retake it. Also, it automatically recommends settings based on the weather, lighting, and what I’m photographing. From there, I can easily upload the photo onto Facebook and Twitter. I’m also a fan of the YouTube app.

I don’t have an iPhone, but a friend of mine who I run with uses RunKeeper (http://runkeeper.com/) and that tracks our distance, time, calories burned, and many other things.

I currently use a Blackberry Bold 9900 and am looking for a similar running app. I’ll let everyone know if I find one that’s really good, because I’m sure they also have an iPhone version as well!

I LOVE the Evernote app. I can’t live without it.

I have it on my iPad, Zoom and Droid X. I have it loaded on all my computers.

Check it out and you’ll wonder how you lived without it.

I use so many, few of my favs are:
Evernote
Mint.com
Pages
Numbers
Hootsuite
Foursquare
Toodledo
Scan

Here’s a sweet trick for users of the iPhone2 that I just learned today from a friend who isn’t even a geek, go figure! I love learning new things so here is a kewl iPhone tip if you want to send emoticons easily in your text messages.

First you’ll have to upgrade to iOS 5.1 with your iPhone. Once you do that then do the following:

1. Go to Settings icon > General > Keyboard
2. Scroll down and click on International Keyboards and then choose “Add New Keyboard”
3. Look for “Emoji” in the list and add it.

Thats it! Now go and text message someone and you’ll now see a small globe icon beside the number 123 icon on your text keyboard. When you click on this it gives you all kinds of emoticons you can use in your text messages from happy faces to balloons. Cool feature huh?

Only downfall is that the emoticons will only show up if the person you are texting also has an iPhone. So how do you know if the other person has an iPhone? Easy peasey…if your text message is in a blue bubble when you send it out, then the recipient is using an iPhone. If your text message is in a green bubble then they are probably on a Blackberry or some other type of cell phone and not a member of the iPhone tribe. Too bad so sad for them 😉

Have fun! I love my iPhone (and iPad), now just to be a MAC 😉

Nicole,

I have had my iPhone for eight months and I am sure I will learn the real value of it – tomorrow. I still use my iPad for most everything.

You have truly inspired me to move forward and learn what this iPhone can do, especially when it comes to business applications.

Oh I love this post Nicole. I’ve had my phone for one year (this month) now and I looooove it. I’m always learning new things about it. I’ve seen Yolanda and Ronnie mention a few apps that I don’t have so I’m going to be downloading those as soon as I’m done writing my comment!

I’m most excited about the WordPress app Yolanda mentioned! So many times I’ve been out and about and was like geesh I wish I could write and publish and blog post right now – I never imagined there would be a WordPress app!

Here are some of the apps I have:

Skype
Paypal
Craigslist
Relax Pro (I love listening to ocean waves every night when I go to bed!)
Instagram
Tetris
Angry Birds (not sure why cause I hate this game!)
iBooks
Kindle
Netflix
