The App Store

Filed under: Apple, iPhone — admin @ 7:20 pm

So as many of you may know Apple recently introduced the new iPhone, the iPhone 3G, with this release they also released new software. This “2.0″ software is free for the old iPhone and $9.95 for the iPod touch. Apple explains that they must charge for the touch because of accounting reasons. The upgrade to 2.0 is totally worth it!

Basically with the introduction of the new software we now have access to the recently released app store. This is a good thing! Developers can now write software that will run on the 2.0 update. Most of you know this however so I’ll just get to the point.

Here’s my review of my top favorite apps:

  1. Remote (OMG it’s amazing)
  2. Myspace (I use myspace more for email then actually email this really helps me out, I also really like being able to check bulletins from it)
  3. Aurora Feint (it’s free and I seriously played it for an hour last night without even noticing)
  4. AIM (I am on aim constantly and it’s nice to be able to jump on send some messages to whoever and get off without having to load meebo in safari)
  5. Shazam (if you haven’t heard, this one allows you to record a small piece of a song that you hear playing, then it reports back to you on which song it is. It’s very accurate and keeps a running list of songs you’ve looked up
  6. Now Playing (perfect for seeing what’s playing, where, at what time. Also the rotten tomatoes reviews built in are pretty nifty

There you have it. That’s my review and my top apps.

Digg!
