Despite Apple's restrictive API and general grumbling about the platform, cool iPhone apps keep showing up every week. Two notable resent releases include Google Earth and CoolIris. These are both apps that are very slick and useful on the desktop, and promise to be even more handy in your pocket. Google earth on a device with GPS and other location services will be a near killer app for some even in its first release. CoolIris, while already pretty functional, will get better with time as they add location based services as well.
I installed Google Earth for iPhone last night and it is unbelievably cool. It's so sci-fi, I swear the hover cars are just around the corner.
I just want a frickin Video Phone like Dick Tracy had. Is that too much to ask? Oh wait, they have them in Europe and Japan, but not in the US.
