I'm a big fan of KeyMote.

No direct mouse control, but keyboard shortcuts limited only by what people care to create and contribute.

Very cool idea.. I have Pzizz for napping, but if I can get this for some ambient music generation, that would be bonus!

(Also, I'm hoping to win Xenon's app (from another site) for the full-on iPhone GarageBand experience)

I first used a Mac with OS X 10.1 On my G4 DP Power Mac that still runs. I've migrated mostly over to a MacBook Pro, but ahh, the memories.

Apple said: Un-uh nope you don't get nothin' free from us supreme OS devs.

Palm said: What? We hired your devs, and they came in droves because we would let them copy and paste in 1.0, are you really daring me?

Apple said: We got the billions with a b, you M.

Palm said: Emm, you want to talk handheld copyright? bring it, I'd love me some b. Oh, and by the way, 1.1 not only still has copy, cut, paste and multitasking, but we still sync with the monopolistic media player/movie rental house in the premium market, 'scuse me, WinAmp.

Yeah, I said it. Our beloved duopoly once again might be a monopoly. oops, you did it again.

I'd use one mainly as a security camera -- I'm pretty sure my cat knows how to open and close the fridge and that he also has a weird thing for soy cheese and green beans.

And probably also mounted in the car, so I can record the cop recording me when he pulls me over.

So, by your logic, you use a Unix set-up on borrowed/donated hardware because it's free and "basically" a computer experience relatively free of virii and malware.

As I said, if you don't want much more than what the OS comes with, and you don't mind dozens of orphaned files (if you try out software and discard it often), then the free embellishments are probably enough.

If you need more - like SMS messages as alarms, and elimination of quite a few more orphans, check out the software that costs something. Most of its shareware, and can be deleted if it doesn't suit you.

I have to seriously recommend that people consider the Koingo apps for the first two... Alarm Clock Pro and Amnesia.

Both of these really do outclass the apps listed in the article. (in my opinion.)

If you don't need more than a simple alarm, don't bother, and if you don't mind loads of orphan files, keep on with the old school.

Well, in my mileage. How do these stack up for you?

Well, if you're listing things, then you need to compare it with OmniFocus, which offer the wireless syncing, etc.

OmniPlan? for the iPhone? when?

I would never delete Shazaam OR Flower Garden!

hmmm... seems like this might be the stumbling block...

Any info on the "4G" Sprint is advertising?

What are the chances we'll see CDMA iPhones to take advantage of any true 4G?
