Name one thing you hate about the iPhone

I hate the fact that most of the apps in the app store are useless in my opinion. I have no desire to find columbian albanian restuarants that serve sushi in the metro area nor download the countless blogging or social networking apps. I really wish we could get some good apps that don't cost alot and actually offer some productivity instead of gimmicky crap. I know there are some good apps out there but the majority of them hold no substance in my opinion and really take away from the true potential of the iphone by reducing it to nothing more than a toy.

It's a valid opinion though. Like I said, you try telling that to the fans and they stone you. You can't find many useful apps outside of the ones you mentioned and cheap games. There are thousands of apps that do the same bloody thing.
Yet, there have been no apps that allow you to create text documents and transfer them over during sync or bluetooth them to another device or even send your notes to another portable or BT enabled device.
This was a feature around since the Palm V, that many found useful and are still asking for today.
The lack of Bluetooth access in the SDK explains why there are no such apps.
I'm surprised there's no definitive site that details and lists all the best iPhone apps.
There's only the odd '10 Best' here and there - unless I'm missing something awesome.....
I have a jailbroken iphone and I love winterboard and iblacklist. Those two apps alone would draw huge sales if they allowed them on the app store, but I understand apple's policy with running apps in the background (i.e iblacklist). I don't buy the hype though about the battery drain running apps in the background. I can get easy 2 days of excessive use (constant internet surfing, flycast-streaming audio, watching movies, talking on the phone). 4-5 days with less than average use so I think its more of a control thing why they limit the SDK so much. I liked apple better when they were just apple computers.
