OK, so I've been stuffing my iHipster with all these nifty apps I always wanted:

News: BBC News, NYTimes, WashPost, MSNBC, The Hill, The Economist, NPR News, Al Jazeera Eengrish, China Daily, Bloomberg, ESPN ScoreCenter, Politico, The Baltimore Sun, Channel 11 WBAL (mobtown)
I put in Stitcher, haven't messed with it yet.

Entertainment: Pandora, Netflix, the TiVO app, Verizon FIOS Remote, Dusk for EVE Online, WoW Armory

Utilities: the Flashlight

What do you guys use? Any recommendations?

One of these:

I picked up a clock app called "Nautical Bells", rings off the traditional ship's bells for time.

I feel like grumbler's going to come on the bridge at any time and yell at me.

Saw this and thought of you Seedy. This iPhone case can stop a .50 calibre bullet.

Hey Cal, do you have issues with battery life on your Atrix after the last update? I used to be able to leave the WiFi on along with everything else, and was still getting 7-8 hours per charge with moderate use. Immediately after that update, well...shit...today I forgot to turn the WiFi off, and after 3 hours I was down to 30% without even using the thing.

What's the dealio?

Sorry dude, I just saw this post now.

Now that you mention it, it does seem like it drains a little quicker, but for me it's not that big a deal since I always charge my Atrix in the morning for about an hour (as part of my normal morning routine), and while I'm at work I have it plugged in to my Blackberry charger (since they are interchangeable) for a good portion of the day.

So I did it.

I joined the hipsters.

So. "Made in [PR]China," eh?

Speaking of which, is there a phone actually manufactured in the U.S. or other non-evil country? I assume a lot of components are going to be made in a Dengist slave labor shop no matter what, but I can live with final assembly in a nation with at least marginal labor protections.
