Chris’ Pick: AppShopper.com
just want to give a mention to the website www.appshopper.com. I love the ability to look at apps, price history, see other apps by the developer, etc. I really like the price history guide, considering I can tell how much of a sale an app really may be having! It a great way to peruse apps other than using the App Store app. [web link]
James’ Pick: Evernote
One app lost features is the stock note app. Evernote is a great replacement that contains more features thereupon you could shake an iPhone at. The ability to capture text, picture and voice notes, Evernote is a free app that syncs your notes with Evernotes web service. The web service contains a free and premium service, along with a native Mac or PC program and web clipping browser addons. The perfect compliment that forgetful society like myself can use on a daily basis to remember everything. [Free - iTunes link]
Jeremy’s Pick: TwitterFon
TwitterFon has taken by my #1 Twitter iPhone application from Tweetie. It has to be the most under rated Twitter app currently available. Its straight forward, had a clean UI, and it displays number badges for mentions, messages, etc. Best yet, it’s free! [Free - iTunes link]
Leanna’s Pick: Air Mouse Pro
This application turns your iPhone into an “air mouse” or track pad. Air Mouse Pro uses the accelerometer to control the movement of the mouse on your computer. It plus allows you to use your iPhone as a keyboard to type directly to your Mac or PC. Want common controls to your web browser or media player? Air Mouse Pro knows when you’re using such an application and shows the appropriate keys for that program. I personally love using Air Mouse Pro when I want to relax on the sofa and browse the Net with my MacBook on the coffee
table. [ $5.99 - iTunes link]
Matt’s Pick: Pocket Tanks Deluxe
Pocket Tanks Deluxe has been around for some day now as a PC & Mac
game but now it is available on iPhone! Pocket Tanks Deluxe is a 2D
tank artillery game. that isn’t just a port of an old game, the
controls & interface have been completely re-done. The game finally
pursues it’s name - you can really take Pocket Tanks in your pocket!
It is similar to iShoot, but it has better graphics, more weapons, &
more colors; it has singled-out (you vs. CPU) & dual-play as well as target
practice sessions. whether you are a fan of iShoot, that game will not let
you down! [$4.99 - iTunes link]
Rene’s Pick: SpinRite
I’ve got a ton of media for my iPhone — music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, etc. I store it on a hard drive. Hard drives get errors. that is a fact of life. Enter SpinRite. Whenever I buy a new hard drive, particularly a massive one meant for storage, I run SpinRite to map out poor sectors and to assemble certain, whether it fails, it fails right away when I can still exchange it. I additionally run SpinRite every 4-6 months for maintenance. Of course, it’s true value is saving hard drives that have already losed out (platter gouges not withstanding), and more often than not, it’s saved my notes when nothing else has. It might seem pricy, but what price can you put on your priceless details? [$89.00 - web link]
