The ones that combine web functionality are actually pretty useful. I use Tadalist.com and the iPhone client for newsgator often. But the "online" calculators and other non-web related apps? Bleh! David Kenny,

The web apps being hyped on the Apple website have very little value for anyone. While true for iPhone users, its doubly true for iPod touch users who can only use 'em while in range of a wi-fi hot spot. My initial experience is, they're clumsy and time consuming to use. Who needs to wait for a web page to load (even on wi-fi) before you can use 'em? Personally, I'd rather pony up a little cash to apple for apps with TRUE value, rather than ride the hack/upgrade/brick merry-go-round that iPhone users are so familiar with. Dave,

I have just had my first play with a cracked iphone in the UK. Did warn the guy that if he updated to 1.1.1 he’ll end up with a really expensive, very cool paper weight!
