I really appreciate the web-apps that interface with popular websites, such as yelp, facebook, and so on. Here's a great one that I'd like to have, in answer to your second paragraph: http://gizmodo.com/5085907/snow-reports Very simple and elegant. That said, these apps really shouldn't be difficult to code, and I'll gladly pay the $1 or $2 that some of them ask for simply for the sake of convenience. While this achieves the same thing as loading up a favorite or bookmark in IE/Opera, all the info is available at-a-glance (something which may not be the case for web pages). Lastly, one thing that a lot of iphone apps do well is their presentation and interface...but that's mostly aesthetic and up to the developer to implement. With the push to a more "touch" interface (as opposed to tiny buttons to be pressed with a stylus) I think we, as PPC users, will begin to see more.

Re: Where's all the good stuff like iPhone and Android have?!
The Web Apps sould be relativly easy to develope. All they are doing is simplfying the requested info(IMHO since am not a programer). I might just be me, but I would rather bookmark the info than pay someone the money.
On a note on irony. On that website they have a contest givaway for a mobile GPS program for Ski Resorts. What vphone do they display it on? Click here to see http://www.onthesnow.com/prizes/sign...i%20121508 |

Re: Where's all the good stuff like iPhone and Android have?!
OK, let me throw my 2 cents in. If you're really that "dumb-founded" with the iphone, just buy it!! I mean, yeah the iphone is nice, but I think people have taken the iphone hype waaay out of proportion. I used an iphone my friend has for like 5 minutes and I was not impressed at all. I love using a phone that I can customize to my likings and basically, with a ppc, there is unlimited customizing. It never seizes to amaze me that everytime I go to ppcgeeks or xda, there's a new development that someone has taken the time out for to make our lives easier. Granted, i'm a rom flashing junkie, and there are sooo many genius rom cooks out there for WM phones, can you flash an iphone? I'm not trying to knock the iphone, don't get me wrong, I guess my point is, is that you say that ppc's lack programs and games and such and I completely disagree. If anything, I think you can do alot more with a ppc than an iphone, as far as customizing and tweaking. And like I said, if you like the iphone that much, just go buy it; even though I think the iphone is ridiculously priced.
