Please let me add Intuition (www.iconapps.com) tagged as mom's personal assistant as another tool for survival. It is literally saving me from forgetting my schedules. There are just days when tasks can be confusing (just so many activities to juggle!) and an app doing the email reminder and location alerts are the help I need. It also does email or fb or twitter reminder not just to me but to family members; it has mommy commnunity and grocery listing.

^_^. Just yesterday I finally decided to get an iPhone myself (I'm the only person in my family who doesn't have one yet!)– I pick it up Saturday. I broke down because I hate phones but, as katzien's hubby said "It's not just a phone." Mom gets the daily bible readings on hers, and dad uses GPS all the time.

Myself, I was simply intrigued by the ability to have all those– plus the apps recommended (which I will definately get!). Of course, I try to have as much as possible in hard copy for grid-down, EMP situations, but if I'm having to go from place to place, or get stuck somewhere sans BoB, having all those resources in my purse would be handy.

. . . and being able to access Facebook on the Metro had nothing to do with it, I swear! . . .

That sounds like a very good idea in case it's Mom who is incapacitated or so panicked she can't think straight.

Katzien did a great job reviewing those apps and explaining them to those of us who are iPhone deprived!

I just went in and they have "smart-ice4family" that lets you keep track of info for up to 5 people. While there's a good chance mom's know all that info so solidly they could recite it when woken up from REM sleep, even before they can clearly see the room and know what's going on, that still looks like a cool app. And definitely one my dh could use. I'm pretty sure he knows which kid has asthma, but beyond that….

Another good app is smartICE. There you can put in your medical history, contacts, medication and other stuff.

I have to admit…I reluctantly inherited my hubby's first iPhone. When the new one came out he wanted me to have the original. I kept insisting I didn't need his hand-me-down phone. I already had a phone I was used to, and it worked just fine, thank you very much. His reply was terse…and to the point. "It's…NOT…just…a…PHONE." Ok, yes, I get it now. It's SO much more than a phone, and now I truly appreciate its functionality. I told him it's alright to say "I told you so" but he wouldn't do it…gentleman that he is. But a knowing smirk is not beneath him…….and I DO LOVE my iPhone.

ps, I also found apps that easily convert measurements and units, a neat compass too. Handy!
