iPhone Apps for this Year

Friday, December 18th, 2009

I broke down and got an iPhone 3GS earlier this year.  Now that it is the end of the year I decided to list my personal list of the top 10 apps I use for the phone.

1.  Facebook – This is quite easily the most addictive app on the iPhone.  The app allows near complete access to the social networking site and has caused me to waste a lot of time.

2.  Wordpress – The newest iteration of the Wordpress app allows me to quickly post materials to my class blogs so that I can always update students while on the move.

3.  Pandora – A great music app that creates custom stations based on your tastes, and it is free!

4.  Documents to Go – It isn’t mobile Office but pretty good for quick work.

5.  Dropbox – If you have never used Dropbox on your Mac/Linux/PC then I highly advise you check it out as a way to keep all of your files readily accessible.  A hidden bonus is it allows you to display PowerPoint presentations on the iPhone (sans animations), a feature that has sorely been missing.

6.  Civilization Revolutions – A great strategy fix for fans of the series, almost a direct copy of the DS version.

7.  PS Mobile – A great easy photo editor to help with minor problems on iPhone photos.

8.  Nikon Live and Learn – A reference program that has helped with my photography in general.

9.  Trivial Pursuit – The ultimate time waster.

10.  Mark the Spot – AT&T’s app to help them improve service… hopefully they will follow up on the entries I have made.
