Best NZ Iphone Sites

So the Vodafone / Apple iphone has been released in New Zealand. The reviews are in, and it’s better than a hole in the head or a head like a hole. The tech freaks and people with too much money to spend and er.. me have rushed out and grabbed a phone.

I’ve downloaded a Tetris knock off app, got a guitar tuner and hooked up the gmail and face book accounts.

So what does one do with their iphone after that? Surf the internet for Halo 4 rumours?

No, the Iphone is supposed to make me productive (I thought it was to make me look cool in front of the ladies? – Ed) So what are websites out there in New Zealand that can help me be more productive – and by this I mean what sites are there that have been designed with iphone users in mind? These are the ones I’ve come across so far.

New Zealand Herald m.nzHerald.co.nz

The NZ Herald as the name suggests is a new paper with an Auckland centric focus but we can’t hold that against them as God loves everyone, even the Jaffas.

Ne ways their site has the top stories for the usual top areas of interest news, sport etc with handy ‘show more stories’ tabs. Has some advertising but it’s fairly unobtrusive.

Trade Me m.trademe.co.nz

Sam Morgan’s old site that sells heaters and other less productive items. You’d imagine that Trademe would get this right and they have – it’s got your search, watch lists, items you’re selling etc all nicely set out. Just perfect for watching your bids on original Megatrons and Optimus Primes.

Kiwibank Kiwibank.co.nz/mobile

Simple site – check your balances and transfer your money from one Kiwibank account to another. As with most of these sites there is always the option to visit the full banking website.

Vodafone Iphone.vodafone.co.nz

As you would expect, Vodafone, who supply the iphone, in NZ have a site. It has “My Vodaphone’ which gives you access to your account, and basically a bit of advertising of their products. You’d only really use this for your account details and stuff.

Air New Zealand Airnz.mobi

Air New Zealand’s site – they advertise on the Vodaphone Iphone site actually… so you would totally expect their iphone page to fly and it does – click on arrivals and departures and you get taken to a realistically sized page and I can confirm that NZ2235 from Gisborne arrived on time this afternoon. Nice app for people on the move. It also has grabaseat for the flight vultures out there.

Kiwiiphone http://www.Kiwiiphone.co.nz/portalwww.Kiwiiphone.co.nz/portal

An aggregate site for News / Sport Music.

Click on sport and it gives you the NZ Herald and Stuff feeds.

Auckland Traffic Website traffic.transit.govt.nz

In case the Jaffas found themselves worried about traffic congestion for some reason – this site gives up to date traffic information on Auckland’s motorways. Right now (3pm) it says that the main routes are free flow – so if you want to get home for Shortland Street, you best be on your way hahahahaha.

Now if you’ve been to all of these sites and had a play, hopefully you haven’t blown your monthly data cap allowance!
