As part of #blogeverydayinjune there has been a lot of meme type posts recently. So here is my own – if you have an iPhone/iPad or whatever… share your homescreen!
Here is mine –
Contacts – I use my contacts ALL the time. These are all synced with MobileMe and majority of contacts have photos, birthdays and full addresses. My contacts is what I live by and setting this up properly has been an amazing time saver for me. I print address labels for Christmas Cards, use it as my phone directory and also have lists. Best thing ever and I have just converted mum over from her 35 year old full o’ bits and pieces address book.
Calendar – I use iCal for everything and also sync this with my workplace exchange calendar. I also have reminders beeping at me. I started to use iCal heavily during uni, especially for to-do lists. It has stuck ever since.
Camera – I use my iPhone camera haphazardly.
Notes – another addiction. I have notes for everything and also put to-do lists into there. I make shopping lists as well in here as I prefer having everything under the one app rather than using the shopping list application etc. Notes is simple and that is what I like.
Maps – I use maps all the time. In New York it is always getting a work out.
Clock – I am always changing my alarm clock and it is always when I am about to drop off to sleep so that is why this is on the front page.
iPod – I have just recently started using my iPhone as an iPod more by putting some of my favorite playlists on to here while I work on to-do lists on the train. If I am just wanting to listen to music I still use just my iPod.
Settings – because I am always changing the brightness of the screen.
Tweetdeck – still use this, even with the new TwitterApp. I like that I can see @jenelle messages and DM’s so easily.
NewsAddict – one of my favorite apps ever. The title says it all – it was meant for people like me. This displays the mobile platform pages of all the big news outlets and newspapers. All in one spot – it is fantastic.
Footy LIVE – this is how I keep track of all footy scores, game times and the ladder. It is a fantastic app but I seem to prefer the old look of last years version. The latest version is a bit too busy.
Facebook – I prefer using this app to the actual Facebook site.
AccuWeather – hourly forecasts, weather warnings and it allows me to track weather here in New York and Melbourne.
ExitStrategy – This is an amazing app for anyone in New York. It tells you what carriage to get on the train to ensure that when it is time to get off the train you are at the closest exit to where you want to be. Also great local maps around subway stops. This is addictive.
Tumblr – I love browsing my Tumblr dashboard using this app. Nice basic display and works well.
HomeRadio – This allows me to listen to 3AW, 774, MMM all on my iPhone. I only recently downloaded this and it is fantastic and extremely stable. I am so grateful to the creator of this app!
