What is the coolest thing your iDevice let's you do that other people may not know is possible?

[jakeblanton]

The goal of this thread is to discover / share new ideas. I know, always having a camera in your pocket / telling the world what you had for lunch / checking e-mail every 4 minutes is cool...be we all already know this. Tell us something new!
I love being able to plan outdoor photography shots months (or more) in advance using The Photographer's Ephemeris to see where the sun, moon, and shadows will be in the future.

I think one of the most understated but useful things my device does is works together with my Macbook Pro when it comes to iMessage. I use this function (and tethering) more than anything else, and being able to work on my computer and also directly respond to messages (since most people I know use iMessage), it's a very valuable tool.

IPhones allow me to buy from the iTunes Store, which is to me my favorite thing about iOS

The coolest thing it lets me do is have an iPhone. Welcome to iMore.

Lets me use my iPhone to play and control games on my mac, use my phone as a remote/joystick/game controller.

This. Except I use iMessage to sync on my iPad and iPhone. It's so damn convenient.

Use the airplay feature with an ATV. Definitely one of the coolest things an iDevice can do.

This is one of my faves. I also sync my iPad to iMessage & my notes on all my iDevices.

Another thing I love is Passbook. Whenever I get close to my fave Walgreens or Starbucks my cards appear on my lock screen. Plus I can keep up with my hotel/airline reward numbers. I also haven't lost a boarding pass since I've been using Passbook (boarding pass appears on the screen a few hours before the flight).

Have to agree the ease of "sync" between devices carries a lot of weight

I can't say enough about how iCloud has made sharing photos for me much easier. You take a photo , just upload to your group and you are done with it. How easy can that get?

I'm gonna say home sharing. I especially like how you can stream your Mac library right on your iPhone/Pad. So as long as I'm at home and my Mac is on I can listen to gigabytes of music and watch heaps of films on my iDevices over the air without actually wasting storage. It's pretty neat but I'm sure not many people use it.

AirPlay and AirPrint.

Both ridiculously useful, and nothing else that I know of on a mobile comes close.

2nd vote for AirPrint. I'm still amazed at how flawlessly this works and I rely on it daily.

Too many things to write! Better apps, ease of use, iCloud integration, Game Center, iLife, iWork, iCloud photo stream, ( I photo stream more than Instagram) multi finger gestures... The list goes on and on!
