If only I could find a way to buy apps when my iPhone is dead and I don’t want to wait to download them. It would be better yet if my iPhone could make it through a full day of use without needing a recharge.

iTunes seems to have all sorts of problems when I use it lately. I was reading TechCrunch earlier this evening and their post regarding the best Apps of 2008 (for the iTunes App Store).
