Looking for a few different apps (can't find them by searching)

[guitarlp]

After seeing iPhone apps and trying out a G1 for a while, I'd like to have some of the apps available on these phones on my Tilt. The problem is, I can't find some of the nicer ones available for Windows Mobile.

Netflix App - I'd love to have one of these but from all my searching I can't find one. I know you can browse their website with a browser, but it would be so much nicer to have an application that pulls up just the data I need quickly and easily.

Price Scanning App - I loved this app on the G1. You scan a bardcode and it tells you the product name, gives you reviews, and shows you a list of local prices and online prices for that product.

Yellowpages App - I saw this on on the G1 (and I think it's out for the iPhone too). It's just a yellowpages.com search interface inside an app.

Restaurant Search and Reviews App - Something that either uses GPS or something where I can enter my zip code. Allows me to narrow down restaurants by pricing and type of food. Reviews would be a nice plus.

Webcam App - I had this on my G1 and loved it. I was able to connect to my panasonic webcam and view it by simply launching the app.

Are any of the above available for Windows Mobile?

Windows Mobile has never had such complex apps.
Maybe buy an iPhone or a G1?

Alright, here is my contribution to the XDA society:

Barcorama was found in less than two minutes by using the googlized search option. Just click HERE! (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368798&highlight=barcode)

As for your webcam app, you can use orb.com to access more than just your webcam from your PPC, or PDA.

The other ones, I didnt really get too far into looking at, because kidNamedAlbert is right, those are some uber complex precesses.

Remember, also search first and when you feel you just can't find it, search again. :D Chances are, it's out there.

hope this helps :)

I don't understand the want or need to have 10 different apps that all search for some very specific thing when one app that can do it all is much more convenient. what if I want to look up a restaurant's number, call them, make a reservation, and then get a map to their? should I have to use 4 different programs to accomplish that, or should I just use one (google maps)? heck, Live Search does all that, AND can also do it with voice recognition. and tell you the weather while you travel.

If you look hard enough you can find all this functionality with existing WM apps, as per above.

Try microsoft's free windows live for what you are looking fore and more. It's fee.
www.wls.live.com
Or even Google maps at www.google.com/mobile.
Enjoy it.

Totally agree!
In addition: GARMIN MOBILE XT in version 5.0 does it all too - has in addition even a CALL DESTINATION feature. :)

I just do not understand the need of people to have web application 'installed' in their devices! Well, maybe I am getting too old for all that, who knows? :D

<Damn, now I sound like a smart ass, LOL>
