Josh Bancroft also posted a list of apps he’s installed on his and gives a short explanation of each.
I modded my iPhone a few weeks ago with iBrickr for the Windows. The original motivation was to put Chocolate Rain as my ringtone.
After installing the ‘Installer’ app, it’s a breeze to get apps on the iPhone. So far I have:
- ApolloIM: Very nice AIM client.
- MobileChat: Another AIM client. Can’t decide which to use.
- NES Emulator: So sweet. I copied the Maniac Mansion ROM and it works great.

- MobileTwitterrific: Twitter client. Not so good so far.
- Sketches: Inking on the iPhone! Can ink over photos too. Just shake the iPhone to clear the screen.
- SummerBoard: Allows you to scroll the main screen in case you install too many apps!
- iLight: Makes you iPhone screen bright white to use as a flashlight..
I’m happy with my iPhone. One thing that pissed me off with Windows Mobile is that every little app had a cost to it. I felt it was ridiculous paying $40 for an instant messenger application, for any platform, and the ones offered for Windows Mobile basically sucks compared to what we get for free on the iPhone.
