About Navizon.
Good you mention it, I installed it but it requires to sign up with them. I didn't want to sign up until I find enough details about their service. They seem a bit chintzy with detailed (and especially credible) info on their site. I would really appreciate if you could tell us a bit about your experience with it.

Is it positively free of charge? I mean, will it always remain free or are there hidden costs once you want to get into the nitty gritty?
How does it navigate in real-time? Can you see yourself moving on the map?
Will it give you real-time directions via voice like the Tomtom?
How precise is it really? House number precise?
Does it make any sense outside of big cities or areas with little wifi density?

Thanks much

Here's a bunch. (I'm in no way affiliated, blah blah blah).

I didn't know there were so many standalone applications drifting around out there already, but then they do seem to be pretty limited to IM apps and games.

Whomever comes out with a capable media player app, some sort of copy & paste tool, a "save link as" option, or the grand masterpeice, a way to transfer files onto and off of these phones without using freakin itunes, is going to be living large. I'd pay big to be able to actually fully use this phone properly. So much potential, but right now it's little more than a novelty.

My favorite at this point:

-iPhone Apps. I am an iPod Touch owner, so I need to do some hacking to use these! Mail & Notes are sorely missing on an unmodded Touch.
-MobileCast. Gives you the abiity to dl/play podcasts wirelessly & w/o iTunes. Filling a huge gap that Apple has really dropped the ball on.
-Safari download plug-in. Lets you download several file types with MobileSafari. I've been able do dl & play(see below) mp3 files using just the Touch.
-MNPLight. I use it to play my dl'd files through MobileSafari. Looks like there are other functions around file transfering/modifying, but I haven't used them.
-Installer. It seems like such a part of the system to me at this point you almost forget that it is not SUPPOSED to be there.
-Firefly Media Server - Lets me play songs wirelessly from my Touch.
-AFP with Bonjour - lets me wirelessly transfer files to & from my Touch.
-MobileFinder - Finder for the Touch.
-NetServices - A convenient way to manage a lot of the hacks that for some reason or another you don't always want on(lets me turn on/off AFP, Firefly, download, WiFi).

All in all I'd say this is fairly impressive for 2 months of work by motivated amateurs. Things aren't as polished and integrated as you would like them to be, but considering that the work is done by individuals working for free, and Apple has put up all sort of barriers to prevent them from changing anything, I think it is amazing. Hopefully with the SDK all the current workarounds will be seemlessly integrated into the Touch/iPhone and Apple lets it be the pocket PC that it wants to be.

My fav iPhone app is by far VNsea. It is availible from the installer.
Its such a sick app, you can connect to your computers (only if they are VNC enabled) on your wireless network and use them in a "remote desktop" fashion. ohmy.gif

Personally I like:
Shazam
Readdledocs (reading app for books and documents, has no problem with large PDFs which is quite unique)
AirShairing and Onedisk (the second one gives back up storage of your files)
Ants (quite fun )
