I have an iPhone and am constantly browsing for new apps. Many of the apps simply link to content that is readily available on free sites on the net, but as you stated, it is much different to be easily able to access it while mobile.

However, I also am VERY careful about apps that are providing information about me while simultaneously gathering information about others.

Social Networking apps that let others see me on a map are easy for me to say “no way” to. While I love the integration of the “Find my iPhone” into the mobileme functionality, even that is a possible invasion. One friend I know of had their ex tracking their movements using this functionality.

Each of these decisions should be weighed carefully before diving in.

Thanks again for these very well thought out, well written articles.

Oh, yeah, please ignore the Silver SVU with TX plates as well.
