I seriously thought about trading in my Blackberry for an I-phone when my contract ended this month, but after spending time with my daughter's I-phone a couple of weeks ago, I am unsure that would be a good move. I don't do well with the keyboard! I also had an opportunity to see an I-phone sync with my car and it wasn't as successful as my Blackberry.
So I think for me personally, I will invest in a I-touch so I can continue to play around with and learn about the various apps. There are so many interesting things to choose. I did work with the gps while in Dallas and that was pretty cool. I do like the ones like the level and all the math flash cards. And the various map apps were fun too.
I got to see lots of elementary PBL students using the I-touches during their summer session and am firmly convinced that the kids will take hold of these and find uses that we can't even imagine. We need to give them ample opportunity to experiment with them.
Some of the sites that I have investigated looking for apps info include:
Here is an article about creating art using an apps called Brushes (don't know if it is free or costs $) that looks very interesting.
Here is a video that shows some of the features of the latest version of the I-phone. This video was released in June 09 and is available at this location should this embeded version not work.
