  • flipmeat, on 03/02/2008, -2/+68Screenshots would have been nice. Links to videos, not so much.
  • jjpertusch, on 03/02/2008, -3/+61it is my guess that most people who dugg this didn't read the lame article first
  • streak, on 03/02/2008, -1/+43<harder><better><faster><stronger> is best.
  • Nath4n, on 03/02/2008, -4/+42lame
  • CharlesSaint, on 03/02/2008, -4/+41No Vnsea? This list = FAIL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFwnRsJaYvA&feature ...
  • badjoke, on 03/02/2008, -2/+30iSolitaire takes up more of my time than schooling.
  • Spamcan, on 03/02/2008, -3/+29Customize is great (though I still can't seem to get it to work 100% in 1.1.3) but where the hell was Summerboard? A top 10 list of iPhone apps without Summerboard is not only rare but also completely inaccurate.
  • OneManArmy, on 03/02/2008, -0/+19I can't believe he didn't mention MobileScrobbler. It is handsdown one of the best looking iPhone apps out there, and it works.
  • Tippis, on 03/02/2008, -1/+20Nah. <strong> is better.
  • inactive, on 03/02/2008, -5/+23Note to writer:

    < b > is really helpful!
  • inactive, on 03/02/2008, -3/+19Was that article written by a 12 year old?
    This application
    My next application
    The next application
    This fun application
    The next application

    You FAIL at English.
  • virtualball, on 03/02/2008, -0/+11Actually, one just needs to download Screenshot.app ;)
  • PabloMac, on 03/02/2008, -0/+11The best part of this story was near the bottom:
    "This post has been removed by a blog administrator."
  • badqat, on 03/02/2008, -0/+11Unlocked, no. Jailbroken, yes.
  • WarezAppz, on 03/02/2008, -1/+11WTF is 'FAIL' the new Digg Buzzword or what?!!
  • kenvsryu, on 03/02/2008, -0/+10Welcome to digg, we hope you enjoy your stay.
  • badjoke, on 03/02/2008, -0/+9Don't just leave those tags open!

    </stronger></faster></better></harder>

    Now we've got a website going!
  • streak, on 03/02/2008, -0/+9No, our work is never over.
  • inactive, on 03/02/2008, -0/+9Yes...indeedy
  • DaffyDuck, on 03/02/2008, -2/+11FAIL
  • blazes816, on 03/02/2008, -0/+8 is deprecated.
  • pixelperfect, on 03/02/2008, -0/+8No... you have XML.
  • IcyStorm, on 03/02/2008, -0/+7I use Converter and the Dictionary app quite often. Why is Pool on there? And if it's the best IPHONE apps, why the hell are included stuff (number 5) in there?
  • cocokr1sp, on 03/02/2008, -0/+6This article is terrible...
  • luddep, on 03/02/2008, -1/+7Nope, it only has to be Jailbroken. Unlocking, Activating and Jailbreaking are all very different.
  • naonao, on 03/02/2008, -0/+6Uh oh, who let The Man in here?
  • ronaldpoi, on 03/02/2008, -0/+6So the first top app is app installer. Really? Isn't that required for the other 9?
    Lame
  • badqat, on 03/02/2008, -2/+8Agreed. Simply saw the "iPhone" in the title and dugg...without seeing how crap it was.
  • Proctor, on 03/02/2008, -1/+7I would say iRadio and gpSPhone would have to be somewhere on the top. I have not used any of the other emulators, so I cant comment on those. Navizon is by far one of the worst programs on the iPhone. Nobody gives a ***** where the nearest god damn cell phone tower is unless you want to climb it and fall to your death. It certainly does not find where you're located, or anywhere near you. It's at least a mile away each time.
  • browny1978, on 03/02/2008, -0/+6this is a very lame 10 top
  • Kalakov, on 03/02/2008, -0/+5The dude is from Norway, give hm a break...
  • Omgitzurdad, on 03/02/2008, -2/+7google is ur friend diggers are not
  • blazes816, on 03/02/2008, -0/+5I fail at typing. It's*.
  • mrBitch, on 03/02/2008, -0/+5VNC client on the iPhone / Touch is a cute party trick.
    "Touchpad" also uses VNC code base, but is leagues ahead (in terms of functionality) :

    (quick overview of Touchpad: "It converts your iPhone touch screen into a portable laptop touch pad")
  • GentlemanFox, on 03/02/2008, -0/+5ya, i guess they did not like negative responses. We the ppl here at Digg will fix that.
  • Thanehand, on 03/02/2008, -0/+4It's already an awesome phone.
  • ataylor32, on 03/02/2008, -0/+4Wow, that's awesome! VNC gives the iPhone a lot more functionality. Indirect functionality, but functionality nonetheless.
  • badqat, on 03/02/2008, -0/+4iAno is out of date, and has been replaced.

    DressUp? LOL! I think you forgot your 'hello kitty' theme!
  • Tippis, on 03/02/2008, -0/+4More markup – more results.
    <b> has no meaning – it's just a CSS shortcut.
    <strong> *has* meaning (strong emphasis) *and* works as a CSS shortcut.
  • kevinwiz, on 03/02/2008, -0/+4What a useless, generic comment.
  • MellerTime, on 03/02/2008, -0/+3And apparently lacked proper grammar instruction in your one-room school houses. If I were your teacher, I would whack you on the knuckles with my ruler.
  • BrendanSheehan, on 03/02/2008, -0/+3I don't know about lame, but I would have included Pool and iBlackjack myself.
  • bigsteve, on 03/02/2008, -0/+3It already has h.264 encoder hardware on board. As a DivX decoder already exists for the ARM platform, porting it to the iPhone might be trivial. But encoding on your computer first into the iPhone's native format will save you space on the device and quite a bit of battery life.

    I could see people saying "but but I have 100 GB of DivX! It'd take forever!" then only encode what you want to put on your device. The iPhone/iPod Touch only come in 8, 16, and 32GB.
  • rayray14, on 03/02/2008, -0/+3And do you have examples of virus-laden garbage to support your claim?
  • naonao, on 03/02/2008, -0/+3Get another player then. Would you really watch 100GB of stuff on the iPhone's screen?
  • bigsteve, on 03/02/2008, -0/+3Fantastic recovery.
  • captaindigger, on 03/02/2008, -0/+3NetStumbler is another good one that isn't there. Very useful app for the ipod touch/iphone.
  • zzz@tkz, on 03/02/2008, -0/+3Awesome, getting my iPhone in 2 days (hurry up FedEx!), and this will surely help, dugg.


    (can't wait :|)
  • JaggedToaster, on 03/02/2008, -5/+7"The following selection is based on parameters such as usability, price, utilization of system resources, stability and update speed."

    Yes, I'm sure price really helped make his decision. You know, considering they are free.
  • joshzam, on 03/02/2008, -0/+2but but I have 100 GB of Divx! And I'm not jumping through unnecessary hoops for this or any other platform. Give me a player that plays what I already have. Why is that too much to ask?
