Two weeks ago I wrote a post where I was drooling over the new iPhone 3G.
They hooked me, and I bought it, and I love it... absolutely love it. I can't believe how cool it is. I can't believe all the things you can do with it. Having the iPhone and the iPod together in one device kicks right there, but to have all these other features (already noted in other post) is... is... is... just downright amazing (for lack of a better vocabulary)!
If you are on the fence about buying one. Just do it. You will thank yourself.
Here are some free applications from the iTunes store that you can download.
One of the best free iTunes Apps I've found is Shazam.
"When you hear a song and wonder what it is, Shazam is tere with the answer. Hold your iPhone to the music and within seconds we'll tell you the artist and track name."
I ask you, how in the world does it do that? You can identify music from a TV, the radio, a movie, or if you're hanging out in a store and one comes on. You can then save it and buy it on iTunes if you want it. I could see one hell of a game coming out of this little application.

Another cool app is Trailguru.
"Use your iPhone to do more than just listen to music while you run, bike, or hike. With Trailguru capture the activity using the integrated GPS. Trailguru provides you with a display of the distance you travelled, duration, odometer, pace, average speed, max. speed, elevation, and latitude."
Do you like Guitar Hero? Here is a similar version made for the iPhone, Tap Tap Revenge. It's not easy, but then again I'm a novice at Guitar Hero. If you need something more challenging, I wouldn't doubt there are 12 other applications for a little money that you could buy.
Can't decide where to eat? Let Urbanspoon decide for you. Uses GPS to find a restaurant near you. You can filter the choices by neighborhood, cuisine, or price. Spin the wheel and eat up. Don't like the choice? Spin the wheel again.
Stanza. "Read electronic books on your iPhone. With a reading interface that is unprecedented in its clarity and ease of use, Stanza is bringing the ebook revolution to your pocket." Yes, you say it takes away from reading the real thing, having that book in your hand, turning the pages. But when you are on the go or on the road, you can download a book. Don't like it? Start another book. There are a ton of books to download for free. Many of them are books from your High School days, like Mobey Dick, Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Pride and Prejudice, The Divine Comedy, etc.

If you let your kids play with your iPhone (I'm not there yet, it's MINE!), you'll want to check out Lightsaber Unleashed. They can swing the iPhone around like a lightsaber. Yeah, my kids can use their own lightsabers. We only have about a dozen lying around here somewhere.
I could go on and on. There's of course Solitare, Hangman, Casino games, and much much more. Have fun! And let me mention it again, these are all free.
