top ten iphone apps.
And now, the broken gentleman's top 10 iPhone apps, based on usefulness, coolness, and how excited they make me.
- Twitteriffic - I use this more than any other feature or element of my iPhone. Twitter is a thousand times more useful, and I am a thousand times more obsessed with new information on people I barely know.
- Evernote - Text, image, or voice notes, backed up online from my phone. I use Tumblr as a scrapbook, but I use Evernote as a scratch pad for my half formed rambles.
- VNC Mocha Lite - Stuck at an event, I opened my office email list, on my home computer, using only my iPhone. I was then able to find my colleague's number, call him, and get access to the VIP area. So yeah. This is useful.
- Simplify Media - Access to my entire music library, and that of my friends, streaming, no matter where I am. Because sometimes the people around me just need to hear Skullcrusher Mountain.
- Air Sharing - Dear USB Memory Stick. You are now obsolete. I'd pity you, but I'm not the type. Now I can drag and drop files wirelessly to and from my iPhone. Win.
- Shazam - This is just actually magic. I use this more to show people that it exists than to actually find out the names of random songs, based entirely on an 8 second audio sample plucked from the air. The direct links to YouTube videos help, as well.
- Palringo - Not perfect, but free, relatively consistent IM application, which lets me use MSN and gTalk from anywhere. Quickly becoming habit forming.
- Spore Origins - For the poor, sad last generation Macbook user who can't get the real deal.
- Last.FM - Streaming music, spontaneously generated stations, bio info, and concert dates. Easy, clean, fun.
- Now Do This - Not actually an app, but a website that works perfectly on an iPhone. Simple, minimal to-do lists. Nowdothis.com.
I could also talk about Tumble, Facebook, Super Monkey Ball, etc, but I figured ten was more than enough.
