This is a list of the software I currently have on my iPhone. It is not every program I have ever had, but just the ones that have managed to stick around. As these are updated, I will strike them out. There are a couple of things to note: First, Sparrow will probably never get updated since they were acquired by Google, and, if that’s the case, I will likely switch back to the built-in Mail app. Second, Dragon Dictation was originally on the list, but I removed the app since Siri does a better job for what I do. Finally, of all the apps from Apple, the only one that still does not take advantage of the full screen is the Apple Store.

While I would guess most of these will get updates within the next couple of weeks, I am disappointed some were not ready on the first day, such as Netflix – although given Netflix’s track record, I’m hardly surprised. I wish they would quit dicking around with their iOS apps and outsource its development to a talented iOS shop.

Update: I guess I haven’t used Netflix’s iPhone app in a while, but it has gotten much better, and they managed to ship an update pretty quickly after the release of iOS 6.

Update 2: It’s been two weeks, and only 10 out of 39 have been updated, so it appears my guess was wrong.
