Since I’ve got a bunch of iTunes credit saved up now, I decided to splurge on the TomTom for iPhone application that provides turn by turn directions while you’re driving.

My absolute favorite thing about the iPhone is that with it, I only need one gadget in my purse. My iPhone is replacing my need for a separate cell phone, iPod, Kindle, handheld gaming system, and now turn by turn GPS device.

I didn’t get the GPS system in my car when I bought it because it would’ve added an extra $3000 to the cost. At times I’ve wished I would have spent that extra $3000, but now I’ve got that functionality for $49.95 which is a whole lot cheaper.

The TomTom app is normally $99.99 but through December 28, 2009 only it’s half price so I went ahead and grabbed it now. If you’re thinking about getting it, hurry up and save yourself $50.

If you have a 3g or 3gs iPhone, you do not need the TomTom car kit. If you have an original iPhone or an iPod touch, you can buy the TomTom car kit to add real GPS and be able to use the app but personally, I’d just put the cost of the car kit towards upgrading my phone if I didn’t already have a 3g iPhone.

Kindle for iPhone is one of my must have iPhone applications. The app itself is free and available from the iTunes store.
For me, the advantage of eBooks over paper books is that you can have a book or preferably a selection of books with you at all times. You don’t have to think about putting [...]

An In Depth Look at my iTunes Expenses

10.28.2009 Dollars & Cents

In July 2008 I got an Apple TV. My house is in a bad location for broadcast TV reception and I only really get one channel. I grew up without cable TV and have an aversion to the contracts and monthly bills associated with cable and satellite TV so I don’t have that either.
The Apple [...]
