iRetro

So speaking of cliche (were we?), it’s been a little while since I got the iPhone.  The initial novelty has worn off – I’m no longer content to sit and play with it for hours on end, in fact, I’ve gotten kind of bored with it.  Not that that’s a bad thing.  I like it.  I like it a lot and it was downright heavenly to fly back East the other week and NOT have to drag my laptop around, because I could just keep up with email on the iPhone.

Now I’m addicted to Bejeweled & Orbital – I think it’s impossible to break level 6 in the former.  I keep my eyes out for useful apps & I’ve bought more than a few useless ones (like Vinnie Jones wakeup call).

Most recently I found iRetro Phone:

“And iRetroPhone, the goofiest $2.99 I’ve spent so far, draws an old-fashioned rotary dial on the screen.”
- Saul Hansell (New York Times – Bits Blog)

File that one under “useless” (but fun.)

Filed under “not useless” is the Adobe Photoshop App.  Admittedly, I have not used it and I’m kinda loathe to use my phone for photo-type things because I’m a “real” camera loyalist, but I’m sure I’ll break sooner or later.  And I’ll definitely use this app when I do.
