A friend of mine had an iPhone, but after having it for a while decided he missed haivng a real keypad and got something different (I think he went with a Blackberry). Anyway, out of what must have been sheer insanity he graced me with his old iPhone! I’m on Verizon so for now I can’t talk on it, making it pretty much an iPod touch, but hey, that’s cool with me.
I was aware of a couple digital painting apps for it via some of the artist’s I follow, and having a portable, digital mini-canvas is just way to freakin’ awesome to pass up. I’ve settled on the Brushes app, and I messed around with it at the laundromat yesterday:
It’s got all kinds of rad features. You can sync it up to your computer wirelessly through the browser and using a separate program for your mac you can export .mov files of the painting process as well as really hi-res images. I have to say though, painting with my index finger is a huge pain in the ass. I sent off for a cheap stylus, so hopefully that’ll get here soon and I can really go to town.
Other noteworthy apps I’ve acquired: Pret-a-Yoga and YogaTrainer (customizable voice-guided routines!), Docs (PDF reader for all my pirated eBooks!), Sega Gensis emulator (SONIC ON IPHONE!), and VeganXpress (informs you of vegan options at popular restaraunts!)
