Two of my “must-have” apps are now available for the iPhone and iPod Touch:
- DropBox (requires OS 3.1)
- TextExpander
I’ve mentioned DropBox before, because I highly recommend it for keeping files in sync across multiple computers. Now I can view my DropBox files on my iPhone, too. (My own use of DropBox is for my consulting work, to make selected files available to me on both my iMac and my Windows laptop.)
I’ve also mentioned TextExpander before, noting that
The most useful single software item I have for blogging (and many other activities) is TextExpander, which corrects my spelling errors, lets me add in custom shortcuts, and has an html package that saves me a lot of typing.
While it cannot operate in the background on an iPhone, because the operating system does not allow background apps, it is still useful for text expansion and more and more apps will no doubt support an interface to it.
