I downloaded the i.TV application last night from the Apple App Store in iTunes.  Within minutes of trying out the application, I could tell that it will quickly become more and more useful in my television planning activities.  I really don’t get a whole lot of TV watching time each week, so for the shows that I do happen to catch, I like to know which nights they are on and which channels to catch them on.  This application is clearly going to help me remember to watch the shows.

The first thing you do when the application lauches is pick your zip code.  This automatically detects the television carriers and channel lineups in your area.  By choosing the right carrier, you get an accurate picture of the show lineups in real-time.

Select a few shows and give them a “thumbs-up” to add them to your favorite media.  By switching to your favorite media screen, you can see when your selected shows will be playing next.

Another great feature is the theater search.  Find out the playing times of movies at your local theaters.  I recommend this application for anyone who is addicted to their weekly programming.  If you haven’t already tried the application on your iPhone, get it for free from the iTunes App Store today!

This evening, I was browsing the free apps in the Apple iTunes App Store and I came across Air Sharing (Link to iTunes App Store), which happened to be number 1 on the top 25 list.  I downloaded it just to see what it’s all about.  Basically, the concept is simple.  The iPhone doesn’t come with the ability to be used as a storage device, as did most of the original iPod devices from Apple.  Air Sharing creates a WebDav file share on your iPhone that can be mounted onto a Windows, Linux, or Mac computer with ease.  Full instructions are included when you download the application.
