Favourite iPhone Apps So Far

iPhone users will (or should) be aware that the 2.0 software for the device allows installation of a whole bunch of applications that are now available on iTunes, some free, some not. I went through the initial stage, as i’m sure most did where I just couldn’t get enough applications, becoming greedy just to fill up my sexy iPhone screen with new icons! Well after a month or so since the update, here’s my favourite ones…

Facebook - As a Facebook addict, this is the application I was looking forward to most, partly because my job often requires me to be out the office, and how else would I keep up to date with everyones business! Facebook have developed a nice clean user friendly app here, and already released version 1.2 update which brought several more features such as photo comments, more detailed profile view.

A cool feature is the ability to upload a picture straight from the application either by selecting a picture from your current photo’s, or using the built in Camera! Finally, this is free, so if you have an iPhone I don’t understand why you would have this! get it from the iTunes store right now!

Google - Another free app, and one which I thought would be available to everyone on release day, but only the US were treated. A simple application that lets its user search not just straight to Google, but also the content on the iPhone, Locations, Images, News, Shopping and Wikipedia, which is awsum! and very handy! There is also a page on the App that gives you links to all of the other Google web apps available, like there Calendar, Reader, etc. Check it out, its a must!

Remote - Final App for this post, but probably the most useful so far, and made by Apple themselves! The Remote application acts as the name states, as a remote, but for what you ask? well as long as your iPhone is connected to your Wireless network, it can control your iTunes without the need of getting up of your sofa to change a track. As shown below, you get full Artwork straight from your Library, and have access to all the content, and you are able to scroll through the Playlists, Artists, Songs and Albums. I think that one nice addition would be the coverflow then it would truely be a killer app!
