I read somewhere that they were making a Worms for the iPhone. Let me see if I can find the link.

EDIT: Ah ha, found it:

Worms on iPhone

TechRadar can also reveal that leading Britsoft developer, Team 17 Software also plans to bring Worms to the iPhone. Martyn Brown, studio director and the lauded designer behind one of our favourite long-running gaming franchises told us today: “I think [the SDK news] is a fantastic and positive move opening up the iPhone to developers, as it is a potentially tremendous device for casual games.

“We'll certainly be looking at ways we can bring something like our own Worms titles to the device.”

1. Facebook, I used to check it fairly regularly. Now I find myself on there all day because I can check it on the phone.

2. Pandora, streaming goodness. If only it could run in the background.

3. AIM, it's ok for now, but when push is enabled on it, golden.

4. IGN Reviews, has proven useful when out at a game store looking at games.

5. Aurora Feint, great depth and really fun. A few small glitches but it's free and the first release.

I've yet to pay for an App, haha.

Abstract
Jul 22, 2008, 10:43 AM
Can iPhone users check FaceBook without the app? Why use an app when you can go to the real page?

I know you can access AIM Express through a browser on a normal computer, but does that work for the iPod Touch? Could I potentially get instant messaging without buying the update to 2.0?

(no particular order)

- Twinkle
- Pandora
- Cube Runner
- SMB
- Crash

They need to release iChat already! Forget AIM. I know once the background notifications are released things will be fine. Definitely surprised by the quality of the apps in the appstore... very unapple.

My most frequently access apps are (all free):

NetNewsWire: while it is far from perfect (it desperately needs hide all read and landscape mode), as a long-time user of NetNewsWire for Mac OS X, I find it indispensable.
Bloomberg: another flawed app (no portfolio grouping, does not sync against Bloomberg.com), but very powerful and well executed.
Aurora Feint: simply addictive.
Stanza: excellent eBook reader (tons of free books to download from).
Yelp: very useful for nights and weekends.

1. Facebook - I hate myself a little for how much I use this, so much better/faster than the webapp was.

2. PageOnce - Essentially for keeping on top of my minutes with AT&T, knowing when my bill is due, etc.

3. Aurora Feint - Apple, please let them issue the update already. Unless the developers are lying, they've been trying to get it on the app store for over a week now.

4. Mobile News (AP thingy) - Sadly, this has made me more informed than ever.

5. AIM

Honorable mention -

Cube Runner - fun. I would have never thought that the lack of sound would be a feature, but it totally makes this game for me. I can listen to my iPod while playing, and while I'm on hold I can strike up a game of it as well.

Band - it's cool, although I'm not entirely sure I'd pay 10 bucks for it again.

t4Two free - you and a friend can play pong, you can also tilt it and the ball "follows" gravity or play it on a flat surface for a normal game of two person pong.

MySpace - i don't use myspace nearly as much as facebook, but that has more to do with the web versions than it does the app, which works well.

myTo-Dos - it works like its supposed to I guess. I'd rather it be a part of my calendar, but such is life.
