I got a smart phone a few years ago now, mostly because I wanted to develop bluetooth remote controls for embedded systems with it.
I also wanted to not have to have a phone and a iPod in my pocket. I hate not having actual buttons on my phone though to cue music and am shocked that no one has good solutions but actually having to see the screen for this, but I digress...
I use it (and it is useful particularly when traveling) mostly for email. Some maps and internet, and of course to listen to music.
What killer things am I missing? My phone seems to do this fine yet everyone is seemingly fixated on the every new model, what uses are pushing what is needed with these devices other than games or trying to replace a laptop (neither of which interest me personally).
What application(s) do you use the most? (gmail for me).
