Browsing Essential Apps topic(s).
As I was sitting down to write l my latest article, I had posted questions asking for suggestions, to no avail, then the idea hit me. I decided to do something about the iPhone 2.0 software. Prior to the new app store, all the iPhone’s were alike. Now with the introduction of the app store and the 2.0 software each iPhone can be unique. You can load it with productivity tools, with social networking tools, whatever you like.
Initially, I thought the 2.0 software would be a bust, however I was happily surprised. I can now use Twitter, Facebook or anything availible in the app store. On launch day Apple had 500 applications availible. Of those 500 apps, 125 were free.
Quite a few got a lot of press, like Super Monkey Ball, even at $10.00 US is well worth the price. But being the cheapskate I am, I gravitate to the free apps. Another of my favorites is Pandora, free Internet radio that plays music, based on songs or bands that you like.
That being said, I think my favorite application hands down is the WordPress App. In fact, I wrote and published this article with it.
What are your favorite iPhone 2.0 apps, and why?

Okay… This is another one of those “I should have known about this already” posts, but now is better than never, right? MarsEdit is an offline blogging tool that really accomplish what it sets out to do. I have tried so many different apps that tout their ease and grace and yet so many times [...]
NetNewsWire (NNW), a very popular and useful app for Mac dropped it’s price today to absolutely free! NNW Author Brent Simmons said on his blog: “I dream of being able to make it so you spend less time reading stuff you don’t care about—I want the important news to go right to the top.” Now [...]
I received another nifty ask iBAM request today from James. He’s got some questions about Parallels vs. Boot Camp. I thought this would be a really good conversation starter for the Ask iBAM section on the site. So… here’s his question: I am planning to purchase my first mac here in the next few weeks. [...]
First, let me begin by saying that I have been an Adam Betts fan for quite a while now. His artwork is simply stunning and endlessly inspiring for me. I visit his site often to see what new eye candy he has published. Back in May (or June maybe), I installed his flag pack (really [...]
