First iPhone Blog Entry

Sweet! It’s my first iPhone based blog entry! I really do like the idea of mobile blogging and it’s funny, the moment I thought of such a prospect, I knew there already had to be an app for it somewhere. So far, every need I have had from my phone has resulted in a short search and subsequent download of the right app to fit the bill.

Another example: I am in the process of looking for a new home, I started looking for mortgage calculators online. But then i figured that there had to be one for the iPhone. Turns out there was and now I own Loan Shark ($4.99). Well, actually it’s on sale for $2.99 at the moment. Darn. Not only does it take care of the mortgage questions, but it does car and personal loans as well. All in a nice, slick interface.

And actually, this kinda thing has happened quite often, and thanks to the fact that you can download entire apps via 3G, I can immediately take care of the problem. Whatever has come up, there seems to be an app for it. And as I discover more apps, I plan to tell you about them, so stay posted.

I love the development community that Apple has built. So far it’s really paying off for the developer AND the end user.
