Favorite iPhone Apps

I believe finding good iPhone apps is impossible. However, I have found several extremely useful apps that I use on a daily basis. (I hate having multiple apps that do the same thing, but Apple won’t let me remove theirs. I keep all the native apps on the first page and tend to ignore it.)

Read It Later: I absolutely love this this app/service. I probably use this app every time I ride the bus, before bed, during lunch…

Tumblr: I’m not a fan of the icon, but, again, I love the service. It let’s me follow my feed and open links in the app. It’s got it’s purpose and it does it well.

TweetDeck: I’m still looking for a good Twitter app that will let me send links to Read It Later. Many are out there, but I use this one because it has a great interface. Simple, yet has a ton of features.

ESPN Radio: Tony Kornheiser Show. Mon thru Fri, 9-11 am, Central time.

Mint.com: Really slow on syncing, but it shows me all my accounts and syncs with the web app. A few flaws, but serves it’s purpose well.

MyWeather: So many more features than the native app. The radar alone destroys the “73 and Sunny” Weather app.

Simplenote: Just started using this one. I like that it syncs with the web; add, edit, and delete with my MacBook.

No particular order, and no links. I definitely suggest checking them out though.

The numbers are quite staggering.

fuckyeahspace: In 1965 Edward White became the second human and the first American to walk in space (the first was Russian cosmonaut Alexei Leonov). This restored photo shows him and the 25 foot long gold-plated tether which attached him to his small craft Gemini 4. Ed White was killed in 1967 while training for Apollo 1. To be able to see the entire continents and oceans in a single view while floating in nothingness sends chills down my spine. On my top ten list of things to do this is number one.

Go get it.

I use ReadItLater, and I love that app. But some of these updates look pretty enticing. If I was just getting into these apps now I would probably go with this one, but as I am not I just can’t switch. Hopefully ReadItLater will get some of these features in a future update.

“

Don’t question why she needs to be so free
She’ll tell you it’s the only way to be
She just can’t be chained
To a life where nothing’s gained
And nothing’s lost
At such a cost

There’s no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain’t life unkind?

I am really crushing on this phone. Finally, somebody has created a useful interface. I definitely need to check this thing out in person. Where’s the closest Microsoft store?

mnmal: I felt I needed to repost this I never thought about it like this, but it’s so true.
