iPhone updated

I am a bit late in posting this, but things have been a bit hectic around here. However, I have finally update my iPhone, now that TouchTerm is available from the iTunes store. I tried using the tool from modmyiphone but had terrible results with it. Thankfully I had a backup of my firmware (1.1.4) before trying it and immediately went back to using that. Now that I am on the 2.0 bandwagon, however, I have wasted no time in amassing a bunch of tools that I use daily.

Some of my favorites:

TouchTerm, for ssh access to my servers. This was the big show-stopper prior to now. Worth it to me to pay for. (And cheap, too!)
Bookmarks for quick acess to my del.icio.us bookmarks. Massive time saver, and the layout is useful if a bit stark and utlitarian.
Palringo for chat. There have been some concerns voiced on the comments in the app store about security, and such. I’m not so worried about it. I have a password I use for chat and different ones for more important things like email and such. I don’t use chat (outside of the jabber at work, which is not in my Palringo account) for anything important.
TouchCalc for its hex and binary modes. There is an octal mode as well, but I haven’t had need of it (yet).
Stanza for reading books on my iPhone. I read a lot, and it is nice to have half-a-dozen books at hand. And with the desktop app I can convert just about anything I can get online into a readable book for the iPhone. Very nice.
Twinkle for keeping up with twitter.
Tankbuch for keeping track of mileage and gas usage. My Forrester gets an average of 23.2 MPG in the city, and 30.4 on the highway!
Zenbe Lists for my shopping lists. It means that my wife can update the list from her PC while I am on my way to the store and I can sync when I get there and see everything I need to pick up. It also means that I can sync after checking everything off and I don’t have to relay the entire list of what I was able or unable to find when I get home.
Lots of games. I like the free ones, partly because I am cheap, and partly because I don’t generally play a single game long enough to warrant paying for it. The exception is Sextuple Word Challenge – a word game very much like TextTwist. (I have a bit of an addiction to word games, and hey, it’s only a buck.)
