Andrew Mager of ZDNet has posted his five favorite apps from the new iPhone Dev camp. They all sound pretty interesting, and besides #2 are worthy of your time.

5. Fwerps – A tamagotchi-esque game that features a creature whos mood is depicted by the movements you make with the iPhone.

4. PushUp – For all of you athletic enthusiasts who happen to use an iPhone, this app might be for you. It’s a very simple program, where you place the iPhone under you. Then you do pushups, and when you come down you tap the iPhone with your nose. This can help you keep up with the amount of pushups you are doing in your routine.

3. Taxi – This is a useful app for anyone that utilizes the services of a cab. If you’re in a strange or new city and need transportation, then Taxi will automatically find cab businesses in your current location. Then all you have to do is tap the name of the cab company you wish to call, and that’s it

2. iRa – This is probably one of the most impressive iPhone apps I’ve ever seen. I don’t think it has very many practical uses for most people, but the possibility is amazing. You basically use this app to remote control security cameras. This demo shows it off better than any words could do.

1. Quicktate – If iRa is the coolest of these five apps, then Quicktate is probably the most practical, and handy. This app will take all of your voicemails and convert them into text. You can also record conversations and have them recorded into text as well. A very handy app indead.

I was browsing YouTube and somehow came across Apple’s first ever commercial. What I find funny about it, is that Apple is still focusing on the same core beliefs that the commercial represents. They’ve always done things their way, and have been different than other hardware/software makers.

Enjoy

Nullriver released a pretty handy application for the iPhone yesterday. The app is called NetShare, and basically it connects your iPhone’s 3G or EDGE service with your computer. Hence to say this could prove useful to a lot of people, especially to notebook users who need connection in a certain location. Of course a lot of great things come to an end, and it looks that way for NetShare.

The app has already been taken down from Apple’s App store. This has been leaving a lot of people curious, but Nullriver would have had to have gotten permission from Apple in the first place to put it up. AT&T usually charges customers $30 for the services NetShare provides, so that probably had something to do with the decision. For people lucky enough to get NetShare during its short stint have a pretty useful tool now

Here’s hoping the decision gets reversed, and NetShare is allowed back.
