My favorite app that I've heard about is the one that turns your iPhone into a flashlight.
Sorry to rain on the parade for JimAtJaxtr, but that has been around since the first palm pilot. Pointless on the iPhone seeing as for a flashlight you can open a blank safari page with one click (the same to open the app...)
my fav app is the one that turns the camera into an x ray machine :) or the lightsaber one!!!
I'm a bit surprised at the course language used by this writer. I'd expect that "kiss ass" comment in "Soldiers of Fortune" or something like that, but not in a magazine that portends to reach the educated types.
My Popular Mechanics issue last month I think derided the so-called uses for what they are, a joke.
