Best iPhone Applications

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 some of the best applications available.

Pandora

If not the coolest way to find new music, Pandora must be close. This application lets you stream music directly to your phone uninterrupted. 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. Not only can you find new restaurants, Yelp also allows you to see reviews posted by fellow diners. Thousands of comments from other passionate foodies or typical Joes are available at your fingertips. No more unpleasant experiences, Yelp will help you avoid bad service 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. To use the program you drag your finger along the displayed keyboard to spell words. As strange as it may seem, the learning curve is very small and this program works well.

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. The remote lets you fast forward, reverse, pause, change movies, all without getting up from your chair.

Stanza

For the literary geek in all of us, Stanza is a gift from above. Almost 20,000 classics have been made available, completely free, to anyone who wants to read them. It has a large enough screen to make the type legible, and the selection keeps growing. Did you catch that they are FREE?

Google Earth

This one is just cool. Who would ever imagine that we would be able to sit at a computer and see real-time images from all over the globe? Everything is available on your cell phone now, so your need for a computer diminishes. You might even learn a bit of geography with this application.

Fring

This little gem will combine all your social networking connections in one place. AIM, Skype, Twitter, and many more social networks are all right here. No need to hop around to connect, Fring will even use VoIP if you are low on minutes.
