After almost two full days with the new iPhone 3.0 software, there are a handful of  things that stand out for me as clearly AWESOME…things I wish had been a part of the iPhone OS since the beginning (or at least the introduction of the iPhone 3G).

Staying up past my bedtime occasionally has its benefits…I was about to go to sleep when I received an email from WebIS that my long-awaited holy grail calendar and to-do app, Pocket Informant, had finally been accepted by Apple and released to the App Store.

The first game I bought for my iPhone was Demiforce’s tour de force puzzle game, Trism.  It looked like an amazing combo of Hexic (a favorite on the XBox) and Tetris, and I’m a puzzle game addict.  After only a few games, I was hooked.  Trism is absolutely awesome.  I just got my highest score [...]
