When the App Store was launched, I went a bit nutty and downloaded lots of apps. Eventually I limited myself to apps I thought I’d love. Some were free, some weren’t. Recently iTunes told me that I had 13 updates available, and I noticed that I’ve paid for many apps that I don’t use.

It’s easy to list your favorite apps. As a contrast, here’s a list of the apps that I paid for but don’t use (as well as why).

Air Sharing

This great app by Avatron Software lets you use your iPhone as a virtual hard drive, and was the first of its kind that I tried.* Later, it was replaced by Evernote. I use multiple computers, and accessing files from any one of them is important. Throw the iPhone on top and I’m a happy guy.
