Re: [UPDATED 1/21/09]This iPhone App = This WinMo App

Here is my List:

CISCOVPN on Iphone is Free. Paid for the phone itself.
Someone help me get this on my HTC Touch Pro. The ones I found don't work with WM6.1 and cost $$$$$

A few that I like:

XBMC Remote
Pandora (doesn't work on my phone). Works on my Axim but it is garbled up.
Slacker

These are web enable apps and sure you can duplicate some of the functionality but the ease of use on the Iphone rocks:
Flixster
TWC (The Weather Channel)
ABC News
i.TV
UrbanSpoon
AOL Radio

For example, Flixster will find my cinemas close to me by GPS, I can watch trailers and buy tickets in one application. no need to click on this or click out of this.
In WinMo, you have to use several apps just to get this.

The Weather Channel app is cool because the interface allows a quick link to your local TV weather report and I can watch it with one click within the app.
Same for ABC News. It links to my local ABC affiliate based on GPS and I can watch local ABC news. Again, all in their app's local space/domain.


The point is the "breadth-of-useability" is there with the iphone. The sheer level of convenience is incredible.
I've been using WinMo since 1996 when it was called Pegasus. Velo 1 owner, Sharp Mobilion owner. IBM z50, Axim x51v, Ipaq, HP Jornada owner.
In the short 2 years the iphone has been out, the eco-system support for it is unparallel.

There are some cool accelerometer games and their price is good to, Motochaser was like $2.
