There was a survey published yesterday that suggested that iPhone users download/buy applications, use them about once and then never use them again. My experience with games is somewhat similar to that, but not regular applications. Instead, I tend to find iPhone applications that I really like and then use them daily.One of those is Jott. Jott has a simple premise: it integrates the phone with the web. Sounds simple? It's actually pretty elegant: you use jot to record notes ("jotts") that are then transcribed and returned to you. Where Jott is particularly successful is in linkages to other services. I can "jott" my updates to Twitter, Facebook, or Remember the Milk! Jott transcribes the 15 seconds that I speak and then directly updates the online service I choose. If I want to simply leave myself a note, Jott records, transcribes and then returns the note to my device.
There's a traditional component called "Jott Express" that you can download to your computer so that you can manage and use your "jotts" on the Web. I don't use that as much as the iPhone component which has recently been updated. The screenshot show the different categories that you can upload your "jott" notes into as well as the "Jott Links" to other Web applications. One of the remarkable things, which I don't use much is the ability to have a set of Jott contacts which can recieve your Jotts after they have been transcribed.
For me, Jott is one of those essential iPhone applications: it's one of the favorite sixteen apps on my front page. Highly recommended.
