I got an iPhone:-)
My husband had to upgrade his phone for work,
so he went ahead and got me an iPhone too.
I’m slowly learning how to use it.
Quite a change from my Blackberry!
I’m wondering if any of you have
any tips that you’d like to share with me?
How about extra gadgets that you can’t live without?
I’m really coveting the Senea WalletBook Case.
And, what about apps?
Any suggestions would be truly appreciated!
I heard about the one below,
from the
Product Review Place.
I haven’t used it yet, myself,
but thought that I’d share the info.
The new Calorie Count app is a free, downloadable diet tool that allows users to track and manage weight, search and log nutritional data, popular exercises and healthy recipes all while on-the-go …a time when critical dieting decisions are often made. Essentially, the Calorie Count App serves as an all-in-one diet coach, nutritionist and workout trainer! The app has been developed in response to overwhelming requests from CalorieCount.com’s site members (yes, it also serves as a social networking and support site consisting of two million).
The Calorie Count App can be used to quickly/easily search the foods you encounter while on-the-go and help you make better diet decisions (i.e. a mocha latte vs. an iced coffee). Did you know President Obama’s recently passed healthcare reform will require all restaurants with 20 or more chains to post calorie counts and nutritional information on their menus? In the meantime, we have the Calorie Count App!
The Calorie Count App is available at no cost for both existing and new users through the Apple App Store. An outline of the app’s key features are listed for you:
– An easy-to-use dashboard with graphics that allows users to navigate through the application while being able to quickly visualize their dieting progress.
– One of the most comprehensive nutritional analyses of food consumption – against daily targets – among calorie counting iPhone Apps.
– The ability to quickly search and easily log more than 100,000 food items.
– Tools to view current and past food, activity and weight logs including a graph of your weight history.
– More than 150 low-calorie recipes from About.com (www.about.com), selected by Calorie Count’s registered dietitian, Mary Hartley. This interface allows users to select recipes based on course, food group and dietary considerations.
– Access to Calorie Count’s daily blog (www.caloriecount.com/blog) to help users stay motivated and informed.
– The ability to record daily weight, and view charts and graphs to measure your body’s progress against weight-loss goals.
– Automatic updates of information logged on Calorie Count member accounts through a computer or the iPhone App.
– An offline mode that allows members to view recent logs, view and re-log favorites, and input their weight without an Internet connection.
Yay for your new phone! I got one (iPhone) a couple of months ago and love it. Here are some of the apps I added:
Goodreads
Kindle
Facebook
Words With Friends
Twitterrific
The Weather Channel
Have fun!!
Iphones rock. I hope you enjoy yours.
I don't have an iPhone, but I do have its cousin, the iPod Touch.
Here are some apps that are very useful:
"Night Stand" – use it as your bedside clock when you're out of town
The complete set of Jane Austen's novels. I whip that out when I'm stuck standing in line, with no book on hand.
"Flashlight" – I use this all the time. Even tonight, when we lost power for 45 minutes. It helps me get around my house in the dark. Very important when you're a mom of 2 boys who leave their toys lying around in hazardous positions on my floor!
Enjoy your new toy!
