And finally apps I have not got a label for.

Just a quick post of some screen grabs showing some if the apps I have on my iPhone. No games in this post, I'll do games in the next post.

Why I'm Using Posterous Over Flickr

So recently I did this photography project over on whitespider1066 using the camera on my iPhone.
I set up a page in wordpress and used that like a micro blog to record the photos that I took along with some text relevant to the photos.
As I said all the photos where taken on an iPhone (initially a 3G and at the end a 4), with any processing also done souly on the iPhone.
After completing the project I liked the idea of having a photo blog. But where to host it? I wanted it separate from my main blog. After all that is a blog about the outdoors, although there may be some cross over on the photos.
I could of housed the photos on flickr, I have a free account there. However I have reached the limits of the free account, and the cost of the pro account was out of my grasp.
So I needed a free alternative, and after listening to a recent net@nite I was reminded of an online service called Posterous.
Now Posterous does more than I am using it for. All I am using it for is as an online gallery for photos I take with my iPhone.
But visitors can leave comments, subscribe to the site using RSS. I can create picture albums easily, and the iPhone app allows me to upload photos simply.
Basically everything I needed PLUS it can update my social networks. So when a new post goes up my twitter account is updated with a link and also my Facebook account.
So some useful functionality there, plus it's free and no restrictions (as far as I can tell) on number of photos it will allow me to post there.
So that is why I'm using Posterous over Flickr for hosting my photo blog.
