Kindle for iPhone: Get the Lowdown on the Kindle iPhone App
Amazon has outdone itself again. Just within days of launching the Kindle 2, Amazon also released its new Kindle iPhone app and sent iPhone users scrambling to download the free app and trying it out. The verdict? iPhone owners have been impressed enough that many of them have jumped on the Kindle bandwagon and have purchased one themselves.
How exactly does this Kindle iPhone app work? For starters, it’s like having an extension of your Kindle with you wherever you go. If you’re one of those who think that reading the Kindle even while waiting in lines or taking subway rides is a bit overdoing it, then the iPhone app is the answer to your reading dilemma. Take the iPhone with you anywhere and take advantage of short bursts of reading your Kindle books whenever you have some free time.
Applicable for both the iPhone and iPod touch, the Kindle for iPhone app has even taken the effort to make reading from the iPhone a pleasant experience. Given that the iPhone is a compact device, the readability is still great with 5 font sizes to choose from. Plus, going through pages is easily done with just a mere swipe of the screen right to left, or back. For bookmarking pages, finding the table of contents, going to the beginning or a specific location, and looking at the image cover, a couple of taps is all it takes as well.
Accessing all your Kindle books even without the Kindle around is also possible with the Kindle iPhone app. Just log-in to your Amazon account and download any of your books stored there straight to your iPhone. Even better, you can continue to read right where you left off from either device, thanks to Kindle’s Whispersync technology. Make sure to sync your Amazon Kindle or iPhone before leaving and either one of them will automatically go to the last page read when you resume reading.
Another great thing about the Kindle iPhone app is that it gives the reader a full-color version of the images from its LCD screen, as opposed to the Kindle’s shades of gray. What it cannot do however, is permanently replace the Kindle as the choice reading device. While the iPhone acts as a perfect foil to the Kindle, the latter’s e-paper technology, wide screen, and superior readability is still the best device for hours of nonstop reading.
However exciting the new Kindle for iPhone may be, it still has a few downsides. First, buying books from Amazon or even just browsing available titles directly through the app is not yet possible. Moreover, the Kindle iPhone app is currently exclusive for ebooks and not for newspapers and magazines as yet. And one more thing, the dictionary feature is not available yet on the Kindle for iPhone app. These are minor drawbacks though, and with the way things are going with the Kindle, these features are surely not far off.

So some people suggested that i do a top 10 paid applications video so i did. I’m sorry i said 15 in the begining i suck at time management and the limit of a youtube video is 10 minutes. So i could only do 10 apps out of the 15.

Help answer the question about iphone apps
Are there any iphone universal remote apps which have Logitech Harmony-like functionality?I know there are iphone apps coming (Square Connect, for example) with universal remote capabilities. Are there any that offer "One-Touch Activity-Based Control" like the Logitech Harmony remotes do? Is Logitech planning anything?

edit: how did you get the wifi status to look like bars
alright here's wasup, I tried the same thing also and it didn't the reason being is because they will only work when ur iphone is updated to the new firmware 2.0 but the good news is that where only hours away apple will launch it late today in a few minutes so just wait…it will be worth it…I'm also waiting in my computer right now…
Davidfnsiphone… YOU CAN GO FUCK YOURSELF BITCH ASIAN PEOPLE ARE COOL!!
Yes you will loose all the data on your Iphone when you sync it again. Once you have download an app, itunes know that you have already downloaded it previously.
But you can follow this method to avoid downloading all the apps over again after reformatting .
If you are using windows, Itunes is backed up in
C: > Documents & settings > "user name" > my documents > My Music > Itunes
all the apps and store in this folder, copy the entire itunes folder to a external storage (USB, external hard disk)when you have reformatted, install Itunes and copy the Itunes folder from the external source to the same
C: > Documents & settings > "user name" > my documents > My Music > Itunes
Thats all
For what it's worth, you can have a maximum of 144 applications installed on the phone at a time, regardless of their size.
In reality, though, It depends on the size of the apps you install. Some apps are really simple and small (like some of the flashlight apps or tip calculators). Those will probably always stay the same size, maybe get a little bigger with updates.
Other apps that download data a lot will increase in size over time. For example, apps that connect to Twitter often download and cache your Twitter messages, people's avatars and images. Those will take up space. Also, apps like Ambiance that download sounds to be played, or games that download level packs will definitely take up extra room.
So you can easily fill up the phone with a couple dozen HUGE apps, or fill it up with a hundred small ones. It all depends on the size.
iphone apps are only programmed to work on the iphone.
You're getting WAY ahead of yourself. You need to learn how to program in general before you tackle apps for any specific platform. Also, mobile applications can be quite challenging.
People who make a lot of money doing it are NOT beginners. One of the things that drives me most crazy about Yahoo Answers is how often programming is under-estimated. People ask things like "how do I make a site like myspace?"…these questions are laughable to anyone who has been in the business. It's akin to asking a doctor "how do I recover from cancer?". If you're asking, you are not at a level which you would understand the answer..not even close.
You need to start small. Take a look here:http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-00Fall-2007/CourseHome/index.htm
That's college level, introductory programming material. Stuff like this is second nature to any programmer who has been in the field for more than a year. If you don't totally get everything in that, you need to prepare yourself for several years of research and studying. You don't need a degree, but you need passion for it. You can't make yourself into a programmer, either you are one, or you are not.
great vid <3
i gt tht today and its fkin sick!
who buys apps u can get it for free by installus. download all apps for free.

Generally, remote controls for things like TVs, stereos, cable boxes, etc… use IR (infra red) to talk from the remote to the device.
The iphone does not have any IR capability as far as I am aware, and will probably not work to change your TV.
