Boinng,

I've posted this in another thread, but would like to ask you as you seem to know quite a bit about iPhone application.

I'm in the process of evaluating if I should abandon my window mobile platform and switch to iPhone.

While I can put up with not being able to switch to spare battery during the day, not having copy and paste feature,etc, There are certain things which I now do with my existing WM phone. Here are some of them.

1) Golfing software

Does anyone know if there is a software that allows me to enter golf scores, analyses scores, calculate handicaps, organises competion and bets, and provides on-course distance measurement (using GPS signal)? At the moment, I'm the de facto golf scorer for my golfing buddies and use this application at least three times a week. I use the MobileGolfScorer sofware now, but can't seem to find an equivalent for iPhone yet.

2) Office application (word processing, spreadsheet, powerpoint)

ATM, I'm using Softmaker which gives me desktop functionalities. Microsoft's Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) is just too limited. Is there anyting like that on the iPhone platform?

3) Electronic Wallet application

I now have an application that keeps all my confidential information, such as bank accounts, passwords, etc. Is there something like that?

4) Good calculator

I now use HiCalc, which is a calculator going not just arithmatic, but also trigonometry, base conversion, statistics, matrix, finance, unit conversion, currency conversion, constants, biorytm, equation solving, function graphs, formulas, date/time calculation.

The standard calculator in iPhone means that I still need to carry a proper calculator around. Are there something equivalent to HiCalc on the iPhone platform?

5) Finance and accounting

Currently I use an application called Cash Organiser which record and track my daily expenses, keep my bank/credit card/investment balances, etc, and provides many useful analysis and reporting. Is there similar application on the iPhone already?

6) Is there any good Bible Reader application?

7) I now use about 5 email accounts. Would iPhone let me use at least 5 email account, or just one?

8) Voice Over IP.

Is there any good Voice Over IP client on iPhone that does not tie me to skype or specific ISP?

9) Dictionary

What are some of the top English dictionaries available? Can anyone give me some weblink to read about these products?

10) Any good quality GPS software?

I now use Tom Tom version 7 which gives me, among other things, the following capabilities:

- Voice warning for exceeding the legal speed limit of that specifc stretch of road.

- Red light camera warning

- Speed camera warning

- Ability to correct maps and to share it with other users

- Ability to communicate with other users, and able to see where each other's positions are on the map

I have tried other GPS software but they are too rudimentary. In fact the previous version of Tom TOm was also not good enough for me. I hope iPhone has the latest version of Tom Tom available already. Does anyone know if this is the case?

Also, can I port my vast library of FLV video files, MP3 music to the iPhone? I heard something to the effect that we can't send files to each other using bluetooth. This can't be true, is it?

Appreciate your help, mate.
