Amen. Thats why I am waiting for the jailbreak to produce some solid 2.0 apps since apple’s SDK wont allow the apps to change the phone, run in the background, or a bunch of other things.

Pandora and Weather Bug are great. Pandora burns the battery up in a few hours so I only use it if I have a charger close by and WeatherBug has radar which is great to determine the storms in the area when out riding.

I also just love having a real web browser to actually view normal web pages and not a formatted for phone version.
