iPhone third party apps

Ok, so I am definitely getting an iPhone now that Jobs has said they are working on third party apps. I’m not a huge downloader or anything, I have 3 third party apps on my phone. Gmail, google maps, and opera. I’m willing to use apple’s browser, and obviously they have google maps already. I would be happy using apple’s mail client also, if only gmail would support IMAP. Hopefully they will by the time iPhone comes out, if not that is certainly mainstream tech enough to assume someone will make a workaround.

I never really considered this a selling point, but I am actually kinda happy that it can play music. I used to work on a microscope all day and was a heavy ipod user, like about 6 hours a day. The mentality of heavy usage is still with me, and for a long time I thought there was no point in a little ipod phone, because I needed a lot from an ipod. Now though, I am lucky if I can listen for any time at all, so I end up not taking my ipod with me very much, which in turn means I can never listen… So being able to listen to something occasionally will be nice. Not to mention the fact that while I love my Nokia E61, I really do miss having a camera.
