I've been using the CIBC mobile banking app for a couple weeks. It's great. MTHIRTYhas just shared a widget with you on behalf of CIBC.

Thanks for the app recommendations. I'll definitely check out Bump.

I must admit that I too use CardStrar all of the time. Other oftenly used apps are:

– Bump – bump fist with another iphone and trade contact info
– Google Maps – Use it almost every day!
– check please – Calculates tip based on amount of bill and number of splits.
– Quicken – iPhone version

that is just a few that I use daily.

This is great – the iPhone is fast becoming synonymous with the entire 'hand held computer' market. Powerful marketing from Apple for a powerful little device. It's most often the first phone in peoples minds now-a-days.

Thanks for sharing your must have apps Mark. Here are some of mine:

- SnapTell: Allows you to take a picture of a book and then fetches its info/reviews and prices from different sources online

- File Sharing: This cost me $1.00 but it's the most convenient USB stick I've ever had.

- iCall: let's you make free phone calls to Canada & US if you're connected to a Wifi connection.

I'm wondering when you are changing the name of your blog to the "Iphone Gush 'n' Crush"? Dont get me wrong, it's a fun device, all the kids have them and sadly my BB Bold does'nt make Fart Noises, or distort the photos I take into droopy faces, but I can run my business from it .

My must have apps include:
- Twitterrific

- ByLine for Google Reader – thinking about switching to Gazette though
- NotePad and Convert by Polar Bear Farm
- PCalc

Regarding your mention of FreshBooks, recently a company release MiniBooks which does more than just Time Tracking w/ the FreshBooks API. I haven't used it, but it looks promising – http://www.groovysquared.com/minibooks/

I too love the RSS reader – in any form – to quickly and easily keep up with the latest content from my favourite sites.

The problem is when the feed only provides a snippet of the content – then you have to load each story you want to read through the browser. It's a drag, slows me down, reduces efficiency, and kind of defeats the purpose of even having an RSS reader.

Are you listening Mr. Evans?

I agree that the camera is one of the iPhone's killer apps. It's exactly why we are releasing a social network enhanced camera app
