Iphone app usage

By scott

I was thinking about iPhone apps that I use this morning, and decided to note which 10 have I used the most in the last month. [Liks to sites, not the apps]

Tweetie: - My Twitter app of choice. Twittrena, TweetDeck and Twitterfon are all fine and each have good points, but Tweetie still just pips them for me (for now).

iXpenseIt: I really love this app for keeping track of your expenses/what you’re spending. Nice little report options. Also can export the data in cvs or HTML.

Evernote: My main note taking app online, on my desktop and now on the iPhone. You can clip websites (parts of sites), take and add photos and voice messages/notes, as well as writing text.

Byline:  The only iPhone rss reader that I have found that is actually nice to use. Works with Google Reader and also will download latest items to allow browsing and reading when you don’t have an internet connection.

Facebook: You know what it is. This does the job ok as an app, but lack of wall-to-wall and other things makes it not as useful as it could be.

IM+ Lite: I’m not a big IM person, but I have been playing around with this free IM app that lets you add MSN, Yahoo, GTalk, ICQ, Jabber accounts etc to a simple and easy to use interface.

Drop7: Described as Tetris meets Sudoku, this is a game where you drop numbered discs into a grid. When the number of the disc matches the amount of discs in the column and/or row it disappears. Sounds simple, but if you want big scores you need to use your head and calculate where best to put things to create chaine events. Addictive.

Flight Control: And speaking of addictive. This game where you have to drag plans onto a runway is a lot harder than it sounds.

Four Track: Is a nifty four-track recorder from Sonoma Wire, makers of the wonderful Riffworks. The ultimate record on the go tool. Essential for the budding muso.

Last.fm: I tend to use this when I’m out shopping, or when I don’t have my full-fat iPod out with me. Can be a bit flakey, but this due more to the loss of wi-fi or 3G conection on the phone. Functionality good.
