Here are a couple of great apps:
Go for a bike ride
Play horsehoes
Plant some flowers
Play a real board game with your neighbor
Paint a picture
Build a birdhouse
Learn an instrument

You get the point.....use the fucking phone for phone calls......

Huh. I can't do any of those things while waiting at the doctor's office and picking flowers doesn't help me track my Weight Watcher's points, while I can be on my apps waiting in line at the post office and the phone does let me track my points.

Mmmm... crazy, is it possible that both outdoor activities and technology are both valuable and useful? *le gasp* Say it ain't so!

I call bullshit. There's no fucking way you'll be using it just while in waiting rooms. I see too many people becoming zombies to that shit. My brother's, brother in law just recently started explaining his IPhone to me and all it could do at a BBQ. After 3 minutes, I said, "Jimmy I'm going out to play wiffle ball with the kids." He stayed inside and did whateverthefuck on his phone. He's 38 and very soft.

Btw - I crushed the kids in home run derby.

You call bullshit all you like, doesn't make you right.

I use my iPhone apps to help in my day-to-day. I suck at math, so I've got an app to figure out how much each person should put in for tip when eating out. I've got apps to help me find local attractions so I can, ya know, go out with friends and enjoy their company. I've got apps to keep my friends and their kids amused in situations where we have to wait and I've got apps to keep amused when I'm stuck waiting.

Really, this bitter attitude towards a phone is idiotic in my opinion. Yes, some people get wrapped up in their apps and their toys and ignore others. Before the phone, they woulda gotten wrapped up in something else. I can't count the number of times I've been ignored for an old-fashioned book at social gatherings, or when I was younger, completely ignored others by reading at family gatherings and when eating out.

What they have doesn't really matter, it just matters if they'd rather be doing something else than spending time with the people around them.

I like the weather channel, Around me, Local news, Fox news, CNN, HuffPo, Pepid and Epocrates(used for work/school stuff), flighttrack, realtor.com, engadget and some games like angry birds, tap tap ants, fingerzilla and so on. I'm not a huge game fan but sometimes when waiting in lines it can help kill time.
