I use notes often, and I access the stocks once a day just to see where the Dow Jones is going. I like the clock (use it for timing meat I have on the bbq).
Since I'm one of those guys who hates talking on the telephone and would much prefer email or text, I much prefer to access everything through the contacts feature, not through the phone. That way I pull up my contact and decide how I want to get a hold of them, or to get their fax number or alternate email or whatever else I need. Besides, I put a lot of my vendors, clients, and stores in there so I can add notes such as their hours, preferences, etc. I find it better for me than accessing through the phone's directory.
God, I hope you are kidding. I know the compass to use as an actual compass is not very useful, but the ability to have the compass in the phone allows for some crazy geo-physical and directional apps to be developed. Yelp's Monocle feature is just a baby-step example of the things to come. No, compass is very necessary, IMHO.
I'd probably say weather. I've jotted down the occasional note, and I've used the voice memo when my wife mentions something we need at the store (but would always forget since it's a "comment in passing" thing). I have two 3rd party weather apps that I use. Don't know the last time I opened up the native weather app.
1. iTunes - I live in Slovakia. We dont have iTunes here. Only App Store and iTunes U
2. Stocks - I really don't see any purpose for it
3. Clock - erm... The alarms sound only if the iPhone is on. Really "useful" for morning waking. I need my battery for better purpose.
This is my first post to any blog in the history of the universe, so I purposefully chose an easy one. Stocks. Hey! I have no money and am never likely to have any to invest, especially on Social Security. :o
I'd say stocks and the weather app (WeatherEye is amazing.)
Maybe you should consider that the iPod Touch doesn't have a Phone, and that they share the same firmware...
True. However , that doesn't mean they have to mirror the same apps. For example the music and video apps on the iPodT vs just the iPod app on the iPhone.
I agree that the contacts serves as a duplicate app but I suppose it has faster access to contacts. It's one less click but I guess.
Phone - I don't use my Iphone for calls, Have a small LG phone on Verizon that is very reliable. Got about 4000 roll over minutes backed up - would use in an emergency
Messages, No need for that stuff - rather talk than type - on Verizon
Stocks - Don't care
You tube - Why?
Calculator - No need
Voice memos - Its there but I have never used it
My reason for switching to Iphone from Blackberry Bold is the apps
