Hey, you’re welcome Ben. Gotta give credit where it’s due (Although I appreciate you didn’t design the app so maybe I should be thanking them?!)

I used to use Tweetie but having loved Tweet Deck on the laptop, switched when I found it for the iPhone. Do you find Tweetie beter than Tweet Deck?

Thanks for the mention Eleanor

The wordpress app is very good.

Tweetie is also a great Twitter app too.

Hi Karen,
Welcome to the site and thanks for visting. Thanks too for the re-tweet.

I can’t believe you’re awake though. What time is it in Canada?! And I just checked and yep, day 13 is up. Tell me your secret … do you write a few days ahead of schedule? One of my problems is I’m too much of a ‘fly by the seat of my pants’ kinda girl. Take today for example, I know what I’m writing today’s post about and I’m sat here while my son has lunch about to start. Do you think I’ll crack on and get it done now before the older children get home from school? Watch this space

Anyway, I agree totally, Apple did a great job with the touch and iphone. I get loads more done now I have one, although I have to be careful because my six year old tells me I love my phone. Given that I tell her I love her, I need to watch myself

Thanks again for stopping by and yes, I’ll definitely stick to day 13. I don’t often watch the news anyway!

Great list, Eleanor,

I have an ipod touch, not an iphone as I’m currently happy with my smartphone. But, how the heck did I ever live without this touch? It’s great! Like your Dad, I was downloading tons of applications and checking them out.

I was taking Spanish night courses, so of course I had to download a Spanish tutor app. Plus, the Dictionary app.
I love playing Scrabble so I bought that game, as well as Suduko
I wanted to check my stocks so I got Bloomberg and installed it.
UrbanSpoon is great to see restaurants in your area.

Love, love, love Google Maps and Google Earth on the touch. Very cool apps.

I second TweetDesk. I also have Facebook app installed.

I highly recommend getting one. You will be so surprised at how useful it is.

Karen

Hi Jim,
Thanks for visiting (even if it might end up costing you a few quid on a new phone )

Wasting a little time playing games aside, I have found my phone very useful. It allows me to do little bits and pieces at times when I might otherwise be waiting around. For example, I read your comment whilst cooking eggs for my children’s breakfast!

You know Eleanor I have been thinking about getting a iPhone for a while. Probably because alot of my friends have them. But I was taking a look at item 3 and that sounds cool. I mean it would be great to be able to review comments on my blog while I am out and about. Well maybe one day I will treat myself and get an iPhone. It sounds like a handy thing to have.
