i’ve got iphone envy
Having a fancy new phone wasn’t that big of a deal for me. I wasn’t about to wait in long lines and spend loads of cash for an iPhone. Well lately I’ve had a bit of a change of heart. Just recently I’ve started to develop serious iPhone envy. It seems everyday I see another amazing application available for the iphone that I’m convinced would improve my life. Like this one spotted on Cool Hunting called What The Font. Imagine you’re sitting in a restaurant and the font on the front of the menu catches your eye. You’d love to use it on your new business cards but you don’t know what it is. Simply take a picture with your iphone and an in phone image processor cross references the typeface with the font database MyFonts. How cool is that?!?! If you’re one of the lucky ones, download the application here. — Erica P.
For those without an iphone–you can do it on a plain old computer. I’ve been using it for a couple of years.

i just got an iphone about a month ago, because my okd phone died. i got it at the apple store, and with porting from verizon and purchasing the iphone, it took me 15 MINUTES to be up and running. no more lines. still costs a load, though. but it’s been totally worth it.
i was so excited about this new app, i downloaded it right after i read your post! too bad it was a bust :( i tried 4 different pictures, it had no clue what font it was. hopefully they’ll work out all the bugs because this would be a great iphone app!
