So iPhone software release 2.0 was let loose on the masses yesterday and with it came the much anticipated App store.  Apple released over 500 applications on launch day, enough to make any iPhone fan boy’s head spin.  While it is impossible to download and try every application I present to you the apps I found to be most useful, possibly leaving some gems yet to be discovered.  If you have others, leave a comment and I will try it out.  I’d love to have some apps crack the top 5.

So without much further ado I present to you my top 5 free applications from the iPhone app store.

Subscription based iTunes may be a rumor.

Reports floated around the net yesterday that Apple may be in discussion about a subscription based music service for the iPhone. Today Business Week has released a story and said, “Not so fast”.

While they believe the time may be right for an all you can eat service, they report that no official talks are under way at this time.
The fact is that iTunes in it’s current state helps sell hardware for Apple. But iPod sales are slowing and competition is increasing from the likes of Amazon and other music vendors that already offer a subscription based service.

In order to keep sales of the iPod up and get new people interested in the device Apple may be forced to look in to a subscription based model. If that happens they are more competition to the likes of satellite radio which will have an even harder time trying to define itself in the market place.

iPhoneAccording to the Financial Times, Apple is considering a “all you can eat” music option for the iPhone. Music would be subscription based or payed as a premium up front at the time of purchase of the iPhone.

Users would then have full access to all music on the iTunes store for the life of the device. The music industry and Apple are negotiating over royalty fees at this time and it is not clear if or when an agreement will fall in to place.

slingplayermobile.jpgAccording to Gizmo News Sling is evaluating the iPhone SDK for a possible Sling player for the iPhone.

I don’t know about you but if this works well on Edge I think this could be the deciding factor to finally give me an excuse to buy a Sling Box. I have looked at them for some time but have not had a compelling reason to got out and purchase one. If I could get to my content all the time, everywhere, it just might make it worth the purchase.

What do you think?

textonphone-iphone.jpgI found a site today called TextOnPhone.com. Browse there on the iPhone or iPod Touch and check out some of the 30,000 books and documents that they have online for your reading pleasure.

The great thing about this service is that you can go to their site with a computer and upload your own documents to their server. You will then have access to them later from your iPhone.

I have been studying a lengthy PDF file for the last few days and have bee carrying the print version around with me. Now I will have it with me every where I go. All I had to do was simply copy and paste, upload to the server, go back to my iPhone and there the document was waiting to be read.
