Red Laser is one of the “must have” applications for the iPhone.

One of the main problems with moving from the iPhone to an Android-powered device is the fact that at least twice a week you’re hearing about a new Android device on the horizon that makes yours look like an ancient artifact.

Basically, if you have an Android phone that you didn’t buy within the month, your phone is old news. Here’s a good example:

This device is the HTC Dragon, from Samsung, and it’s supposed to be awesome. Looks good, right? Nope. A true Google phone is coming, and it’s supposed to be much better.

Bottom line: with the iPhone most don’t have to deal with hardware envy for a solid year, whereas if you go with Android it’s likely to be a constant issue.

The app you need if you are often handed business cards. Seriously clean.

Here’s the writeup at TechCrunch. Here’s the iTunes link (5 stars, btw). ::

My buddy Brooks just posted about the Monocle feature in Yelp’s iPhone app, which is really just their version of augmented reality. Very cool stuff. Can’t wait to have a go in a real city.

As part of this weekend’s design interest I also did my first iPhone wallpaper, themed to my site.

Now things are about to get interesting. Verizon is launching an Android phone that’s going to destroy all other Android phones, as well as run on the Verizon network.

And they’re being very forward in their marketing against the iPhone…

Competition rocks.

Just wow. Completely stunning that you can do this with your mobile device/phone.
