My name is Eugene and I'm an addict......
Yep I've caught the bug, fortunately I limit myself to free apps but
I will give strong hints for father's day that perhaps an iTunes gift
voucher may give me a quick fix.
It is interesting that I was on a forum and certain people were
slagging the iPhone. I suggested that the iPhone was going to set
itself apart because it was more like a portable computer and that if
would differentiate itself from other 'smart' phones including mobile
windows based ones simply because of the apps and the iTunes store.
Regards,
Eugene

I must confess to having downloaded 99 Apps so far and counting...

"IPhone App Store encourages new affliction: Appiphilia
6:30 AM, August 26, 2008
For the last few weeks, I've been staying up late glued to my
screen, and frankly it has been wreaking havoc on my sleep
patterns. No, not watching the Olympics or the nonstop political
gabfest on 24/7 news channels.
I have been obsessively logging in to iTunes.
It's not about the songs, audiobooks, TV shows or movies. It's all
about the apps."

Hi, I'm Ken, I'm an appaholic. (group: "Hi Ken.") I started with
just one app a day, then my addiction grew to the point where I had
over 100 apps crowding my screen, and I had long forgotten what
most of them did. That didn't stop me, I kept downloading. I'd
sneak a download in the bathroom, and while at work when no one was
looking. I even downloaded while in church. ("Forgive me, Father,
for I have downloaded.")
I visit the iTunes store every five minutes looking for new apps.
My thirst is insatiable.
I even went to a 12-step program for appaholics, but it didn't
help. We spent the two hours trading info about apps, tips and
tricks, and building our wish list for new apps. I even confessed
that I might like to become a developer to create and sell apps for
the iPhone. No matter that I don't know how to program. I didn't do
a lot of things before I owned an iPhone, but that hasn't stopped
me. Before I go any further, though, I'm going to make sure there's
a 12-step program for app developers. If there is, then I know I'll
have a great resource for app ideas and source code.
I tried to stop, but resistance is futile. Even the flashlight app
won't lead me out of this darkness. Apple, you've snagged my soul.
And, I love you for it.
