iPhone App Reviews coming - get your requests in now!
This week, and probably next week as well, are going to be dedicated to iPhone Application reviews. Many sites pumped out a paragraph about various games or applications on the iPhone when the store launched, but I don’t want to do that.
I want to review the applications like we would any other software on any other platform. I don’t think that the iPhone games are “cell phone games” and I don’t think that they should be played with for two or three minutes and reviewed based on that.
Sure, some of them are - many of them couldn’t be reviewed in much detail (the flashlight apps, for instance), but there are some great applications that we can do in-depth reviews of, and those are the ones I’ll be focusing on.
So, I wanted to throw the ball to you guys to see what applications you want to see reviewed. Either leave a comment below or contact me and let me know what you’d like to see. If you’re a developer and you’d like me to take a look at one of your applications I’d be happy to give it a look…time permitting.
Reviews start tomorrow with Super Monkey Ball.

How about SplashMoney?
I was hoping for an iPhone version of Quicken but will gladly switch to SplashMoney if it’s the only Finance App for iPhone.

There are several drawing/painting apps to choose from . . . I’d love to see you review and compare some of these.
No.2 4.99 [www.lintlabs.com]
- It uses a pencil prop to get better precision . . . that might work great. No color yet though. Maybe drawing with this and rendering color with iGraffiti would make the best looking art?
iGraffiti 4.99 [www.stone.com]
- It has transparency and tapered lines which are nice. Best looking art examples.
Sketches 7.99 [sketchesapp.com]
- Looks basic, no transparency, not much info available on website.
NetSketch 7.99 [www.netsketchapp.com]
- Interesting features like vector and collaborative drawing . . . but example drawings look blah.

@ Spacedoggy -
Check out MYLITE - its in the APP Store for FREE.
You can chose which color you want for the light, and can also chose a STROBE and TRIPPIN’ option (which will be cool for concerts).
GREAT little APP - adds more than just a light to your iPhone.

Review the “Bible” app put out by lifechurch.tv’s yourversion.com. I’d like to see a review done by a non-religious centric site.

like the drawing apps, there are a number of “speech/thought bubble” comic-book style apps. i’d like to see a comparison of those:
comic touch
talkbubbles
iToony
and… maybe:
mr shuffles

Review the DataCase iPhone App alongside Files and FileMagnet. I’ve been using DataCase and it works great, I’m wondering if “Files” is any better. FileMagnet makes you download a desktop app, I don’t like that.
