What are your favorite apps?

I just got the iPhone 3G S Friday and this is my 1st iPhone. Can't believe how many apps there are. I just wanted to know what everyones favorite apps are.

I've deleted more apps than I have kept. Just download and try 'em on for a bit. It doesn't take long to try them out. It's part of the fun of the iphone.
Some of my favs that I've kept and use regularly are flashlight, bump, iWant, Urbanspoon, ihandy level, soduku, and pandora.
My kids grab my phone and play FS5 Hockey, tap tap and reversi.

What are your favorite apps/new features you like after the 2.0 upgrade?

I discovered one feature by mistake, after finally getting my iPhone going again! I pressed the top button and home button at the same time once and saw a white flash on the screen! It turns out it works like a print screen button!! Very cool! Whatever you see on your iPhone, you can save directly to your photos, just press those two buttons simultaneously once until it flashes! If you guys already knew about this, I apologize. Please post any other favorite new features or apps here!! Thanks.

Well the update worked fine for me and one thing I love is that I can access the app store using the Edge network & not just via wi-fi. but if i can access the app store over the edge network then why not allow users to access the itunes store over the edge network as well? either way i'm happy. also, i liked the fact that when i tested the "locate me" feature in maps that the iphone prompted me for permission. that's a great security feature so that other ppl can't try to access your phone remotely or something and try to determine your location w/o your permission.

What are your favorite U.S. cities to travel to?

Can't speak for Chicago, but my favourite city to either live in or visit since I've been in the US is Seattle - by far. Always something going on, great food. And football (Sounders!)

I am heading to Chicago tomorrow to visit friends and the countdown is in full swing...I've only been to Chicago when it was freeeeezing, so I am very much looking forward to spending time on the water this time around!My mom is a flight attendant, so I've grown up traveling around the U.S., and so far, I'd say my two favorite cities (aside from Austin, where I live) are Chicago (even in the snow it was absolutely amazing) and San Diego. Nothing like the energy of a metropolitan city or the calmness of the beach.What are your favorite U.S. cities to travel to?PS. If you have any "must-do" recommendations while I'm in Chi-Town, I'm all ears! =)

What are your favorite backup apps?

I am looking for a simple to use backup app. I have never used a backup app with windows or Mac's before so just looking for something simple and effective. I have looked around and saw that Intego had one backup program but they mostly have security apps. So I did not know if it was worth it. Thanks for the feedback in advance! Oh, just so you know I do not have a external harddrive right now and was wondering how safe it really is using programs that upload to the net.

I have read many reviews on exteral harddrives and I think I found one. Does anyone have any feedback, or what do you think?

What are your favorite sound libraries?

I picked up Garritan Personal Orchestra and I think it’s great. I also just got a Scarbee Bass from Native Instruments which is very cool. But I’m also looking at the Trilian Bass too. So, what’s the best bass?…drums?…guitar?…piano?…etc.
I’m doing mostly reggae and I like a very clean dub sound. A Sly & Robbie library would be nice!
Thanks :o)

What are your favorite JavaFX 2.0 books?

Assume you wanted to take an academic approach to learning JavaFX 2.0 from its fundamentals up to more advanced topics. Which books are available that you would choose to learn from? Please do not include online tutorials or books that have not yet been released.
Thanks.

JavaFX 2.0 by Example is the only published book I know of http://www.apress.com/9781430242574, I have not read it, so I don't know about it's quality. The title would not seem to apply to "take an academic approach to learning JavaFX 2.0 from its fundamentals up to more advanced topics".
I know you don't want unreleased books mentioned, but still . . . Pro JavaFX 2.0 platform is probably the most promising and closest to what you are looking for http://www.apress.com/9781430268727 (due to be released next month). You may be able to get an early release electronic copy for review if you contact one of the authors (author blog here: http://learnjavafx.typepad.com/weblog/).

What are your favorite external harddrives?

Am buying a backup drive, and am trying to decide which one is best.
Anyone using the newertech v3? Do you like it?
Or, OWC Elite Pro?
Thanks

I've recently bought an external hard drive for my iMac and have done lots of research on it.
My choice came down to [Western Digital My Book Studio (WDH1Q10000N)|http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VZCEU8/103-8905802-9945460?i e=UTF8&tag=amfitedirectf-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B000VZCEU8] - this is a 1 TB drive at 7200 RPM, SATA/300 with triple interface options - USB, Firewire 400 and Firewire 800!
WD made this model specifically for Macs, the drive is even HFS+ (Apple) formatted. I've also seen this drive being sold in Apple retail stores!
The main purchase decision in my case was the three interface option - as FW800 gives you the best possible speed! I've tested out the drive by hooking it up to USB, and FW800 in order to measure the performance ratio - the speed at FW800 was blasting fast, compared to snail USB speed... Another important issue for me was the automated power saving feature (e.g. drive turns off automatically as you power down the computer). In addition, this drive is dead quiet, you almost cannot hear it working!
However you'll need to update its firmware (just download and run a small software from WD site) before you use it with Leopard - other than that, no other cons for the product... I've had this drive for the last couple of months and I'm more than happy with it!
The runner up in mu decision was [1 TB LaCie Big Disk Extreme|http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000T9B46G/103-8905802-9945460?ie=UTF8 &tag=amfitedirectf-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B000T9B46G] drive. LaCie compares with WD drive feature wise, however I didn't go for it due to a slightly higher price and it was not aesthetically pleasing as WD (which is a very much subjective opinion)... But more importantly WD extends 5 year warranty for its drive compared to 3 year warranty on LaCie product...

What are your top 3 favorite AIR Native Extensions? (any OS)

What are your top 3 favorite AIR Native Extensions?
OS is irrelevant.

From looking at most of the threads posted in these forums, people generally come here seeking help with issues they are having while developing an AIR application, hence the name of this community, "Adobe AIR Development". If your question isnt answered within 3 days that doesn't appear to be seeking help with an issue or potential bug, doesn't mean that AIR is dead. People are using this forum everyday as indicated by there being new or active threads everyday. Most questions that people answer or have interest in, are related to iOS and Android development.

What is your favorite note taking app for handwriting to text?

What is your favorite note taking app for handwriting to text?

I use WritePad - feel it does a good job. However, I must admit that I didn't try any others... at the time, it had the best reviews of any handwriting recognition app (in fact, as I recall, it might have been the only one to do recognition).

What are the best apps to monitor tests and emails on childs phone

what are the best apps to monitor tests and emails on childs phone?

You could simply log into your child's email with the password that the two of you agree upon, and monitor the emails manually. As for the texts, you could purchase a separate device, and use the child's Apple ID to monitor the iMessages. For SMS/MMS, no way to monitor it. You'll have to use the app called 'Random Parental Inspections'.

What are your impressions of "multi-tasking"?

If you have iOS4 and a capable device, you should have multi-tasking and opened apps appearing in the task bar. Newer app versions are able to run in the background. In my opinion, when I close most apps (by pressing the home button), I want them to close completely, not run in the background. Aside from being a privacy issue, apps in the task bar may use battery power or if truly in a suspended mode, they still take up memory or process capability. In order to really shut them down, two additional home button clicks and then two more screen strokes are required. Not very efficient and probably leading to an earlier home button failure. Why not have some kind of screen command (tap or swipe combination?) to simultaneously shut down all apps in the task bar? The bar itself is useless if you have used many apps in the course of a day. To find what you're looking for, you have to scroll through a long parade of icons. It's a lot easier to just tap the icon where you know it is sitting in the nice folder you created. I don't get it. I realize the bar can be used for switching open apps, but this is really not that big of a deal for the vast majority of apps. Furthermore, there should be an option to enable or disable multi-tasking globally as well as for individual apps. Now that would be an improvement.
What are your thoughts?

I havent done any kind of multitasking on my ipod touch, im waiting to upgrade my software to the newer one. However, I couldnt agree more with that of pressing the home button many times to perform basic function to switch apps or enable the multitasking ability. I think palm adapted a better design of software than apple ever did with their IOS 4. Palm's webOS can handle full multitasking--something the iPhone can't do. Palm uses what it calls "a deck of cards model" for managing multitasking: You can view each of your open applications at once, shuffle them any way you choose, and then discard the ones you want to close. All of this is done with intuitive gestures that mimic handling a physical deck of cards. Apps remains live, even when minimized into the card view, so changes can continue to happen in real-time, even if you've moved on to another activity.
I had the time to experience a bit of a palm web os software on an AT&T store and my impression on that software is done more elegantly than apple multitasking home pressing button system.
P.S to NYtroutbum: you should definitely present that idea to apple by its feedback product page. Let's hope it listens.

Are your DPS apps successful?

How are you finding your download/viewer numbers for your apps - are they lower/higher or about what you would expect? Are your clients happy that the apps you create for them are worth the investment in your expertise?
What are your opinions on the effectiveness of DPS apps in generating revenues, brand awareness etc? Do you/your clients have aggressive marketing strategies to promote the apps?
I've been using DPS for 3 years and our apps have varying degrees of commercial success. I still consider digital magazine publishing to be in its infancy and strategies for making publishing apps successful at all levels (rather than just multi-million dollar Conde Nast products) are difficult to come by.
What are your thoughts? Do you have a viable business partnering with DPS or is your digital publishing a venture that you hope to make a success sometime soon?
Thanks

Hi JDnm,
i think your questions are difficult to answer.
My personal opinion is, that you can´t ignore the digital strategy for products like magazines.
The main reason for success is the app itself, the content and the target audience.
And maybe you have to see it like that:
(Nearly) Every magazine is loosing customers. The digital magazine is one opportunity to keep them as your customers because you give them more values.
So if you for example combine print and non-print you get a commercial success in total.
In total it is a question of the right concept i think.
Greetings!
Lars

What's your favorite of styling hyperlinks?

Hi,
what's your favorite way of styling hyperlinks?
Right now I've colored mine C=100 M=100 Y=0 Y=0 and made them underlined. I feel the underlining is a bit too harsh on my overall design. Then again if I don't underline them, how are people suppose to know they're links?
Spelling out URLs is just not an option. Unless I use TinyURL? They say their links will last forever but who knows for sure?

That is a question about cultural expectations -- I can't answer that confidently. The check mark that so often is used in US software to signal 'OK' (as in the spelling checking function where I edit this message) signals 'Error' to me -- and when it is shown in green (as Borland Software did at one point, and as Adobe does here) it signals both 'Error' and 'OK', and produces a kind of 'pulling-both-ways' effect that isn't too pleasant -- to me. I'm not sure I can come up with something that works for you.
The dialog bubbles may work -- though to me the carry overtones of a footnote or an endnote. But they pretty clearly seem to signal 'more info elsewhere', and that's definitely a step in the right direction.
I would be looking for something like a bent arrow -- perhaps Unicode U+21AA (↪), or perhaps something similar with a double arrow (Unicode U+21D2, ⇒), except I'd like it to have a similar curve at the left, half suggesting a 'click here to go elsewhere'. (Wingdings 3, character code 0xCA, is close.) But I could probably go for 0x58 in WIngdings 3, rotate it 90 degrees to the right, and perhaps tweak the small box into two smaller boxes of unequal size, suggesting movement.
Or perhaps just something that suggest a 'click here' -- some of the simpler designs in Altemus Bursts, or Altemus Pinwheel or Altemus Stars might work.
I would like something that tempted the reader into testing, and so encourage learning-by-doing. That would be helped by a similar symbol going the other way to indicate the 'back' of a web browser. Arrows help here -- they show a direction. Other designs -- bursts -- won't be a easily understood: what would be a reverse burst?.And what symbol would be used at the target end of the dialog bubbles to suggest 'go back'? (Added: perhaps a quad or square signalling 'end'?)
Arrows seem safer. Even guillemets might work, as long they won't be misread as quotes of some kind. Guillemets in a circle? There are some such glyphs like that in Wingdings. The standard 'fast forward' and 'fast backward' glyphs (in Webdings, say) may also work.
Actually ... this is the kind of problem I'd might want to suggest for a small project for a class for typeface designers.
