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.PIC-0045
  • 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.
