Spotify is amazing, 10 dollars a month and you can get all the music you want and it's you can listen to it when you aren't connected to the internet too.

I had thought of this app a few years back. Was in no position to create it at the time. I saw someone created last year and just had to buy it haha. My app/program would be set up alittle differently but this app was very well made. Provides instant login and you don't have to remember anything.... ever... well worth the 10 billios

There is a 4 digit key pad code when the app opens followed by a password if the app has not been opened in the last 24hrs. It seems pretty secure but I'm sure someone/somewhere could hack into it. I don't have my bank account on their for that particular reason.

You don't blow into it... it gives you your estimated BAC by you putting in how many and what type of drinks as well as your weight and such and gives you a rough BAC.

Haha,  Salomon Pow finder is the worst app I've downloaded.  It's so useless.  Use Ski Report instead. 

Currently my best apps are a game called Stunt Biker, gFlash+ (flashcards), and a game called Jump Out. 

The Newsstand app is really fucking annoying.  I wish I could delete it or at least hide it in a folder.  It's so dumb.

You actually can hide the newsstand app in a folder, it's just a little tricky. You have to start a new folder by "grabbing" one app and putting it into the other, then quickly grab the newsstand app and drag it in. Pretty annoying that they made it that difficult but they did. If you don't understand how to do it ask google

Barbird is a great app. It is in the Beta phase and only has certain cities but it is great to find out drink specials and such.

recently purchased a 4s. here's some of the games i downloaded..

aces traffic (puzzle) - nostalgia but challenging nonetheless

jaws revenge (you're a shark) - straight forward and addictive

zombie highway (killing zombies while driving) - gets old fast but still a decent game

nba jam (2v2 dunk fest) - for the commentary and the dunks

real racing 2 (realistic racing game) - forza for your iphone ($$$)

robot unicorn - don't ask....

dont know if its been posted yet but "ski tracks". its an app which uses your gps position and the tilt measurer in your iphone to plot your tracks for the day and give stats like total vertical,max altitude, top speed, average speed, total ski distance and steepest pitch which is awesome for a bit of competition between friends after a days shred.
