Hey folks, Newbie here!
Been watching these forums on and off for 6-8 months drooling over the iphone. I REALLY would like to replace my smartphone, but there are a few apps I cannot live without. Are there 3rd party apps available for jailbroken phones that make up for this? I have not seen them listed anywhere as existing, but I am tired of assuming there aren't workarounds. I was holding out until the release of the SDK and what a disappointment that turned out to be. Wait another 6 months? That may be my only option, but let's see if I'm just mistaken here.
Apps I need:
Calendar: I need a calendar with categories, color coding, and syncing with a windows based system. I also need to be able to view it in week and month views. It is my assumption that the standard calendar does not have categories (ie, work, school, family, all color-coded differently for quick glance). Google calendars is an option, but doesn't have week view on mobile devices. I don't want a vertical list, I want to see the whole week laid out in block view.
ToDo: I know there are web based todo's but I would really like a native app. I assume this has been created. Can it sync with anything on a windows PC?
Password program: I have a hundred random passwords and can't remember them all. i just created one more for this forum. Is there a native hack that can handle passwords and is encrypted in case my phone is stolen? I don't want a web based solution. That just sounds stupid. It sounds like a hackers paradise!
Apps I'd like:
I'm not holding my breath for these, but would miss them.
MS Access database: I currently carry around some work databases that I access on a regular basis from home and the road. I don't need constant syncing, but need to keep my data in sync from time to time.
Bible: Web based just doesn't cut it. Too darn slow!
Well, sorry for the book! Am I just wishful thinking until the SDK is really ready (and then another 6 months for proper development!) or are people already enjoying these apps on their jailbroken iphones?
