App Envy anyone

When the iPhone was released and we started seeing all sorts of apps for the device, I never really got envious of any of them. Seriously... while some of them were impressive, I just never saw anything I ever even remotely wanted. Well... okay, some of the games were pretty sweet, but anyone who has owned only one gaming console knows that routine.


But, this friggin' Droid & Android OS...

First up is that free Google Navigation. It's what Amaze GPS always wanted to be but never could pull off.

Second is that Locale software... it allows you to set up ringer profiles based on GPS. I change my ringer when I'm at home, at church, work... it never bothered me until I saw Locale! LOL!


Now, I'm on Sprint, which brings me to my 3rd case of App Envy... Phone Fusion & programs like it. They almost all depend on call forwarding, and as we know, Sprint thinks that's worth money. Lots of money.



So, how about you guys? Any of you have "App Envy?" Even if it's an iPhone app... heck, especially if it's an iPhone app.

you know that sprint will be dropping the forwarding costs starting late this month if not mistaking.

In a cave, I suppose! LOL.

BTW, you're right. It's gone! I posted a mini-review of Youmail vs. Phone Fusion somewhere on here.

Re: App Envy anyone

Most of the iphone apps are novelty.

Re: App Envy anyone

Stupid apps aside, anyone have any apps that they really want, but can't get?

theres many useful apps i would like to see it would just be sitting down with the developer and explaining what you would want to see.... alot of the apps that i would come up with would be functionality wise ones so the experience as the user is the best it can be since thats what matters the most.
