After a week with the iPhone, I’ve ventured out in search of the ultimate apps. Here is a list of “must haves” I’ve compiled:
1. Ping.fm
This app communicates with your ping.fm account, allowing a single status update to be sent through a plethora of social networking sites (such as myspace, facebook, and twitter). Chances are if you are reading this blog it’s thanks to my ping.fm app!
2. Google
The google app gives quick access to your google tools such as rss reader, task list, and more.
3. WordPress
WordPress app allows you to completely manage and update your wordpress blog. You can also upload pictures straight from your phone! This article is actually completely written from my iPhone.
4. Dropbox. The dropbox app bridges a gap between your pc and iPhone, for wireless file transfer of photos and other media types. It acts as a synchronization software as well.
5. QuickOffice Connect
QuickOffice has been a bit buggy since the ios4 update, but there is still use in it! This app is like having microsoft office on your iPhone. You can open and edit documents straits from your phone including word, excel and PDF files. Excel is bugged until the next update, as is the googledocs connection, but it supports the dropbox app I mentioned above. I use this to work on my book during free time and save it to my dropbox, thereby synchronizing changes I’ve made on my phone to he opt on my desktop. Nifty!
6. TeamViewer
TeamViewer allows you to remotely connect and control your home pc running the free teamviewer software. It’s very finger friendly and a great way to download files or scan your system for viruses while you are away from home!
7. Photoshop Mobile
Took a picture you want to send to a friend but accidentally got your secret lover in he shot? Photoshop Mobile is a free utility to crop, rotate, recolor, and fully edit photos from your phone.
8. Google Voice
This web app gives you easy access to make outgoing texts or calls using your alternate google voice number. Great for getting a business line or replacing your current number! It has call block spam options and custom greetings as well as much more. It’s currently by invite only, but if someone can convince me they want it and would use it I have one invite to give
9. Pandora Radio
Streams your customize radio straight from pandora. If you don’t know what pandora is yet, check them out at pandora.com
10. Orb
Upset that you ran out of storage for your iPhone? Install the orb live app and the free orb desktop software to turn joyous home pc into a media streaming service. Stream any format pictures, music, video, and even live tv straight to your phone with this amazing app.
11.3D Pool Game
When your work is done, this 3d pool game has the beat physics engine I’ve seen for iPhone yet. You can also take turns playing 15 ball with a friend, if you trust them not to run off with your phone that is!
12. Trillian
Connect to virtually any instant messenger in a finger friendly app called trillian. I currently use it to manage my myspace, facebook, aim, msn, live, yahoo, and google talk accounts easily on my iPhone and desktop.
And there you have it. Have you found a must-have app I should add to he list? Let me know in the comment space bellow!
