New York City makes it to the Apple app store

Confirming the fact that NYC is one of the most desirable cities on the planet, the NYT has just launched its own NYC-centric app for the i-phone called the the Scoop.. non - iphone users can also access the content via a web based service.. I just checked out the site and it currently has the NYT's resident restaurant critic's current favorite 50 restaurants .. was glad to see many of my favorite restaurants like Locanda Verde, Babbo , Devi and bars like Accademio de Vino make the list.. did your faves figure too?

I like this thing for its listing of events - pretty decent coverage on diverse stuff, ranging from Afro-Latin jazz concerts to skateboarding cups.

@uptowngirl: I am 100 percent getting the iPhone 4. I have a blackberry now, and it's so slow and cumbersome compared to that beauty. Everyone I know who has an iPhone swears by them and say they will never go back to any other kind of phone.

@JenMac @uptowngirl I may be on the fence about the iPad, but I NEED the iPhone 4. I need to video chat! Like, now!

I want to upgrade to the new iPhone...but I am wondering how much it will cost me to do so without the free upgrade option, which I am not due for until next February. When I got an iPhone I had to pay out of pocket for the thing and AT&T charged me $16 for some reason on top of that. And that, supposedly, was the free upgrade option. Oh, and they extended my contract two years. I keep meaning to look into whether I was completely ripped off, or if that really was the free upgrade option. Obviously I don't really want to know.

I got a google android because the iphone was too expensive - in the end, I'm glad I got the android. I do miss out on some apps (and I admit that's really annoying - the Google Market is much much less extensive) but I get email and, better yet, skype running natively on my phone

@ajadedidealist that skype function on a phone is way cool isn't it?i keep going to the phone stores to try and change my phone but cant seem to make up my mind.. I am a Nokia person and it's sad that the Finnish company after being a trendsetter for all these years seems to have totally lost the plot now..its symbian system seems way too slow and I cant get myself to like those HTC, Samsung etc phones.. btw I read somewhere that T-mobile may get the iPhone soon so Apple maybe thinking of breaking the AT&T exclusivity.. my friends who use an iPhone are constantly complaining about dropped calls and poor service..
