anyone got any new ones?

I just got the Netflix app, I'm watching Heat right now, at work. Awesome app.

Is this app new? I thought I'd have it a long time ago if it was around...

I'm also looking for a fantasy football app that will let me track my yahoo leagues and my ESPN leagues and my CBS league so I can keep all of my rosters up to date without having to have a PC.

I don't have an I-phone I just hijack the womans and play that game.

I just recently downloaded Genius Scan. Pretty sweet way to capture documents and store them especially when on trips and receipts are piling up.

Anyone know of some good live TV apps? MobiTV sucks and JustinTV always gets shut down.

JustinTV is the best that i've found and like you, i'm disappointed by it's quality. if you have Netflix you should get that app, i'm really looking forward to being able to watch movies on the go now. I don't know of any other instant movie apps out there.

Can you really watch movies on your phone? I think I'd go blind staring at that small of a screen for that long.

The screen is fantastic on the IPhone 4 I have no issue watching movies on it I have uploaded. I have been considering going back to Netflix.

Knocking Live is pretty cool. You can "knock" on a friends iPhone, and when they answer you can see through their camera.

Apple boasts that they have thousands of apps, but most of them suck.

Angry Birds is cool. I play it on my iPod.

to me that's not a big deal because android is more open. apple has to approve all of these apps that dlazz and i are talking about.

makes me wonder what the criteria are for them to pass...

"is it porn?"
no...

"pass"

I've never really used the Android store, but I heard it was pretty mediocre.

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of great apps. Any app store with a butt ton of apps is going to have a high percentage if crap apps, though.
