Some of the applications shown in the <A HREF="http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0806wdt546x/event/index.html" REL="nofollow">WWDC 2008 key note</A> make good use of the accelerometer (I'm looking at you Super Monkey Ball).<BR/><BR/>One other thing the iPhone does which I haven't seen from any other comparable phone is offering location-based services. The new iPhone has a GPS unit in it so it knows where you are fairly accurately. OmniFocus's plan to offer location-based to-do lists is one cool application I've seen using that technology.<BR/><BR/>In the end, your approach is probably the best one. Wait for Android to come out and see what it offers compared to the iPhone.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments.mndrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00943372190551332722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065245.post-41435603029034387052008-06-16T09:23:00.000-06:002008-06-16T09:23:00.000-06:00The one feature I like about the iPhone, the accel...The one feature I like about the iPhone, the accelerometer, is the only feature they appear not to care that much about. It's the one thing that no other phone really has and all they use it for is simple screen tilting. <BR/><BR/>I am waiting for Google's phones myself. Then I will make my next phone decision.<BR/><BR/>I think the newly released (or will be soon) App Store will help you with a few of the features you are missing now mndrix.Travis Hendrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703742490513802482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065245.post-22042119567020969302008-06-14T08:05:00.000-06:002008-06-14T08:05:00.000-06:00Interesting to see what you think of the iphone an...Interesting to see what you think of the iphone and the apps you think are important. I am going to check out that Mvelopes site.
