You'll be able to get your Google Calendars on your iPhone--natively--on June 29. Just install Spanning Sync on your Mac and you'll be able to sync Google Calendar with iCal and iCal with your iPhone. As Steve Jobs might say, "Boom!"

Ustream.TV App!!
How you can forget live video streaming capability?
That is killer, why?
- Live streams while you are at a U2 concert - Live Rodney King beat downs from your iphone to the world - Live video of your friends party!
Ustream.TV app is a much!

I'm hoping we get a really good stock tracking app that's really well designed for the iPhone. I'm seeing good things from SteamStreet (http://www.steamstreet.com), so maybe they'll man up and give us something nice.

I can't help but wonder what the point of having some of those apps would be. One of the things most touted about the iPhone is that you can have the "full internet" on your phone, not just a compressed mobile version. So Digg & Twitter should work fine anyway without the need for a specialised version. A shopping list? That's not useful. Just write a note on the iPhone and have that displayed. Much easier than doing it on a website.

This is all good and well, but are any of these applications going to be fast enough or cost effective enough to use of a GSM device? What we need is support for G3 networks before we get carried away.

For a lot of this functionality, such as YouTube and even Flickr, a 3G connection would be needed. In Europe, 3G from one provider or another is pretty much everywhere except the deepest, darkest countryside these days. 3G phones are becoming standard as people upgrade their handsets every eighteen months or so (I'm doing it in a couple of months!).
GPRS/GSM internet connections are really, really poor. A dead simple mobile GMail page takes about twenty seconds on my PDA at present. If people think they're getting YouTube on the iPhone sans 3G, they're sadly mistaken. When 3G first came out in Europe, the thing that was hyped was video-calling. But its killer app is rich internet content. I just can't believe Jobs has left 3G out!
Why Twitter? www.plazes.com would be the right app for the iPhone! Where are you and what are you doing - and what are you up to... much richer than "just" Twitter.

I would really like to see Apple work out there reported talks with Slingbox Media, and provide a gateway app for iphone to stream your cable services to the iPhone. It works great on my MacBook. Of course, the performance of 2.5-2.8(?) EDGE may be an issue. I may just be dreaming. (sigh)

Sorry for the typo folks, I meant "their" not "there
not doubt. Looks like it's launching at the same time as the iPhone itself. I suppose, if you're going to launch an iPhone app online download and creation clearinghouse, you need people to have their iPhones first.

Why always just push the famous web apps. Wouldn't it make much more sense to use just normal apps for some tasks as well? Especially when it comes to a newsreader or an IM-Client. Meebo and others are designed for Web use on a comuter. Why not using an already existing mobile IM-Client for example. The same with Gmail. Just use your email app, what's the hype all about?

"Ol' Steve claims that it will all work out when Apple signs a special deal with YouTube, and YouTube re-encodes their videos to H.264 format, just to please all us iPhone fans."
didn't they already sign this re-encoding deal for AppleTV?

re: last.fm and audioscrobbler
well, since the iphone is basically going to replace the ipod, I think it had better work with last.fm! that's going to be make or break for last.fm users. we can sync our ipods to last.fm, but if you have iphone, you won't need an ipod anymore. so you need to be able to either scrobble it live or be able to sync it later, the way you do with ipod.
audioscrobbler should really get on that. their current supported client doesn't even sync with the ipod, you have to download iscrobbler (which is actually superior).

I am a college grad on a budget whom hates to carry that damn-able checkbook with me. Any app that could help me 'write' down my purchases and could sink to my iMac would be a god-send. Especially if it could sink to Quicken, but anything would do. (and yes, I know I can go online and look at my bank balance. I am talking about tracking purchases as they occur)
I'd like to see iMovie or even the whole iLife suite - assuming that the camera can take video, it'd be great to be able to edit it on the fly.
Also, do you think that given the WiFi connection, I'll be able to connect at blazing fast speeds when in my own living room or a WiFi zone like an airport or coffee shop?

you do realise that the iphone has no sdk yet ... so therefore no one could make any third party applications for the iphone?!
so i dont get why onetrip would be the first third party application!?
mashable seems to be going down hill ... like techcrunch did

What about Pandora? That'd be sweet :)
I saw an iPhone commercial that was showing the iPhone playing a youTube video fullscreen of some skateboarding dog... So I'm confused. Does it support YouTube?

I don't know how Apple forgot to include a to-do list.
Luckily, Toodledo has an iPhone optimized version of their task manager so you can update your to-dos while on the go.
Yeah, what about some useful apps for those of us who are married to our Treo? I've been using PalmOS since it started, and it's hard enough to imagine life without graffiti, but what about a financial calculator? Excel? Word? Without them, the iPhone is just a fun toy.
Plus I had so much trouble getting Apple's address book to properly recognize my Palm Vcards I just put them in Entourage, which I discovered is much nicer than Apple's Mail and Address Book. But can I run Entourage on the iPhone?
And I don't understand why it doesn't already work with most of the above-mentioned websites. It's supposed to be accessing the real internet and not some lame cell-phone version, so why does it need a hack to read RSS feeds?
Sure, it's slim and sexy, but looks aren't everything.
