My +fav FREE iPhone Apps



First off i wanna let you know I do not use my iPhone as a phone... WHAT? I have verizon and AT&T is still too expensive for less service. So, this app list is based on non phone prtocol and non 3G use. I like to think of it as a mini tablet pc in my pocket :-) and for this reason i stopped checking my e-mail on the computer, so my first app of choice is:

Stock Apple Mail App: very easy to setup and handles multiple accounts and ever has the ability to read attachments. I frequently send books to my own e-mail account so i can read them right on iPhone, the only thing that's lacking is some sort of bookmarking system for big .PDFs But, mail app has all the features one would need for forwarding, replying, and composing multiple e-mails from multiple accounts.

Camera: keep in mind i do not have video iPhone (3GS) but camera app is better than my old digital camera and twice as cool. I constanly take pictures and upload them to my various social sites and blogs. +1 for camera

Pandora: keeps me listening to fresh tunes as some of my "ipod" ones get old after a while. i just hope they make an app for grooveshark soon cuuz i hate listening to pandora radio adds

Songbird Remote: Allows you to control any computer's music with songbird running! very awesome. i love being able to turn my music on and off from the toilet and even rate the song as i poo!

Pear Pad Lite: very awesome app that lets you use your iPhone as a mouse and keyboard for your computer. only drawback is you have to install the software on your computer too.

Mocha VNC: Another remote access app that uses ur iPhone as a full VNC client. which means you can see what's goin on on ur computer from anywhere in the world and make it do things you want from afar.

DropBox: great multi-platform file synchronization app. carries all my stuff i need on the go so i can upload from my phone if I need to. 2GB of free space!

LEGO Photo: awesome new photo manipulator that cam out recently. It turns your photos into pixel like images with different colored legos. most impressive free app i've seen in a few months :-)

Games: I play alot of chess and there are a few different ones out there, but chess is chess plain and simple. Just make sure you can castle. I also play Connect Four and Air Hockey a lot as well as Unblock Me, Dots free, and Geo defense is awesome!

News: I get all the major newspapers as well as hockey and reddit to stay informed onto the level I need.

Misc Cool Apps: Weird Laws, Cool Facts, doodle apps, Relax Alarm Clock, iHandy level, Spawn Lite, etc.

THE BEST THING IS, THEY ARE ALL FREE!
