Perhaps the hottest phone on the planet at this point in time, the Apple iPhone has a remarkable number of applications that can be downloaded and added. You can find anything your heart desires – from games to keep you child busy, a gift for a multi-tasking mom, all the way to bookkeeping to ensure your business expenses are in order. Here are just a few of the best apps available.
Pandora
If not the coolest way to find new music, Pandora must be close. This app lets you stream music to your iPhone constantly. One great thing is that you can enter your favorite artists and using some programming guidelines, Pandor will find similar music for you. You can set up different “radio stations” within the app so you can listen to jazz one evening and enjoy hard rock another.
Yelp
This app lets you get better use from the GPS function available with your iPhone. It’s a great way to find new restaurants and Yelp also allows you reviews posted by previous customers. Many other comments from passionate food experts or typical Joes are available at your fingertips. No more bad meals, Yelp will help you avoid bad food on your first date; the rest is up to you.
WritingPad
This unusual little program allows you to completely circumvent the touch keyboard built into your iPhone. One way to use this program is to tap your finger on the displayed keyboard to spell words. As strange as it seems, this program works well and is easy to learn.
PageOnce Personal Assistant
This app allows you to combine many online accounts into one convenient space. You can make a purchase, check airline frequent flier miles, and move your money around; all without having to move from screen to screen or tap repeatedly.
Remote
This little app allows you to turn your iPhone into a remote control for your computer. Whether you are watching a movie or listening to your iTunes, this remote lets you fast forward, reverse, change movies or playlists, all without getting up from your chair.
Stanza
For the literary geek in all of us, Stanza is a gift from above. Over 20,000 classic titles have been made available, free of charge, to those who long to read them. It has a large enough screen to make the type legible, and the selection keeps growing. These are FREE?
Google Earth
This one is just cool. Who would have imagined that we would ever be able to sit in front of a computer and view photos from all over the world? Now you don’t need a computer, everything is available on your cell phone. Have fun learning geography with this application.
Fring
This little gem will combine all your social networking connections in one place. AIM, SKYPE, and Twitter are all available right here. No need to hop around to connect, Fring will even use VoIP if you are low on minutes.
