By Dan Nosowitz on July 26, 2009 at 8:00 AM
Apple’s Puritanical app approval policy doesn’t let in any really inappropriate apps, but it’s clear that the people want to indulge their vices with their iPhones: The current top three most popular apps are focused on sex, drugs, and alcohol.
The closest thing to porn you’re likely to see in the App Store, Swimsuit Illustrated’s Swimsuit App, tops the sales list, followed by the medical marijuana location app “Cannabis” and finally “Mixologist,” an app directory of recipes for mixed drinks. What does this prove? Will social conservatives start decrying iPhone users as degenerate drug addict alcoholic pornographers?
the thing just appears without her launching the app? are you sure it's not been opened, notifications have come up within and not been viewed, and then when you close it again its got a reminder there?

i havent done it on an iphone but its worked well on the touch. i can ftp files on there etc, play nintendo, snes and emulators etc.
i havent had it jailbroken for a while tho as i got over playing games on the touch screen pretty quick as it didnt work too well.. it may be different now tho, that was last year
Will probably try Stanza soon. Any other good suggestions?
I got Genius. Not bad. Adds a zoom which is handy
Why do you say that?
got an i phone today, will be having a good look at this thread.
You've changed man...
Later today I shall be joining you elitists of the iPhone world.
Any of you iWhores tried this app/game? It looks mad.*
*Note I have no iDevices myself so can't try it but I am intrigued it looks very well done - Aussie programmers too...

i have it, haven't really messed with it too much but it certainly is fun.
more seriously, i can't say i've ever looked at a single one of those websites you just named of my own accord
Nope, none at all. More so I have a phobia of popular culture.
For whatever it's worth, I'd say www.bassmusicblog.com is my current favourite website... And I still don't even think to check it more than once a week... And never when I'm away from a computer with my iPhone and nothing better to do...
I just use iGoogle for RSS action on the computer and I've never been phone-bound and news-hungry for a long enough period to need anything more than the latest stories on the NY Times app to keep me busy...
As an aside, I'd say 2-4 years is crazy talk... I'd say we're still seeing the rate at which people are jumping on the smartphone wagon accelerating and it will be more or less a requirement for all major websites in more like 12 months.
I am not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but you said you have a fear of pop culture yet you use an iPhone, iGoogle and read the NY Times and websites about bass music. Do you like to contradict yourself, or are you being funny? If funny, ha ha, good one.
Out of all the phone users in the country (pretty much everyone), only 10% of people are using an iPhone.

It costs nearly $50k for a decent iPhone app and about the same for a decent mobile site.
Given the price barrier, I think we'll see an increase in the development of 12 months, but it won't be till 24-48 months before it's takes off.
I use an iPhone because I'm a complete technology nerd and I've used Mac computers and been a fan of Apple's design ethos since I was 4 years old. I use iGoogle because it's actually a useful homepage (always been a big about:blank fan). I read NY Times because it's the only well designed iPhone app serving stomachable journalism that I'm aware of. Last time I checked the type of bass music that is being blogged about on aforementioned website is afforded far more obscurity within 'popular culture' that I'm familiar with than, for example, iPhone users, who you quantify as around 10% of everyone.
I was, however, joking, yes.
Aside from the most obvious implication of my 'double quote', I did say smartphone also, as there are countless devices imitating the iPhones form and function that would also benefit from the development of said website.
Hmmm... The cost of iPhone app development has been artificially high due to the ridiculous demand for developers who only existed as a small enclave of Mac geeks before the sudden 'boom'. This will obviously even out quite quickly as shitloads of people scramble to pick up the skills required to land these lucrative iPhone dev roles.
As for mobile site... I haven't looked into the costs lately but I think you could shop around and get something pretty damn serviceable for a lot less than it would cost to develop an iPhone application with similar functionality. It's just web development... I used to be pretty handy at it when I was in high school...
So, are you afraid of pop culture, or not? I don't get it. You mention lots of pop culture references there (yes, including the bass music blog). If you said you listened to white noise and read the white noise blog, that would be underground. Sorry to break it to you.
Re: NY Times, if you think that is the only good journalism around, you're not very well read.
Can I suggest The Monthly, Quarterly Essay, The Economist, Time Magazine, The Times (London), The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal or the Australian to help broaden your reading horizons.
Forget applications for a moment - most of these sites don't even have a decent mobile website.

Good one!
I don't deny there are other handhelds out there which could make use of mobile websites. The proliferation and ubiquity of these interactive devices will increase mobile surfing. I just don't think it will happen at the pace you describe due to lack of resources (developers and finances) and the fact that people are still not using their phones much to surf and connect.
I am thinking of taking up coding. There will be lots of money to be made in the creation and distribution of good mobile content.
Speaking with digital marketing and development business owners at Marketing Week, they explained a decent site/app is about $50k. Having seen some of their creations, I'd believe it.
Now now boys. lets not turn this thread into "My Iphones bigger than yours" thread

Seriously hooked on paper toss at the moment. So simple yet so addictive.
I also have a weird obsession with the zippo app as well. Really need to go to a concert or old skool jungle night so I can use it properly though.
that app has December 5 written all over it

I want that damn auto tuner!
