iPhone must-have apps
Friends, I have been promsing for a month to put this together. Here are my must-have apps. Visit this page periodically, because I’ll update it as I go. Note, all are free except where noted. Please send me your fav’s as well.
First, you can add a web site url as an app icon. Just go to the desired url in the Safari browser. Once it opens, click the + plus sign, then choose “Add to Home Screen”. Voila
* Google - you can talk to it!!! See this video.

* Say Who - you can talk to this one too! Press the big button on the screen, say a name and be amazed.
* Say Where - for finding addresses.
* Facebook – I admit. I’m hooked. The mobile web site also works well too http://m.facebook.com/
* Google talk for IM chat. Add the url: http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/talk.html
* EasyWriter so you can type emails in widescreen with a bigger keyboard.
* Flashlight lights up your screen when you’re fumbling in the dark.
* Washington Post http://mobile.washingtonpost.com/ just made for the iPhone.
* Sudoku - the one from Mighty Mighty Good Games
* Wikipanion and Wikiamo – for quick access to Wikipedia.
* DC Metro ($0.99) - map and station arrival times (for those stations that are above ground; no signal for AT&T underground … grrr.)
* YPmobile, People and WhitePages – for looking up people and businesses. WhitePages even has a reverse phone number lookup.
* Shazam - hold it up to the radio or even sing into it and it will identify the song. You will not believe this!
* Wordpress - for blogging on the go. Also uploads pics. See this page made with this app: http://koset.com/2008/11/22/home-to-detroit/
* Trapster - shows speed traps, red-light cameras and other municpal revenue generation devices … for entertainment purposes only! I mean, who would ever want to drive faster than the posted speed limit?
