The Latest in iPhone Apps
Just a year after the iPhone app store opened its Internet doors, nearly 60,000 iPhone apps roam the street. Some have a place to go because they serve a purpose. Others just sort of wander around looking for their meaning in life.
Here are a few iPhone apps worth noting. Try a few on for size and see how they fit.
1. Hey Where Are You? While you may want to be trailed by the IRS or bill collectors, it helps being connected by letting friends and family know what you are doing and where. This iPhone app allows users to ask and answer the question, “Hey, where are you?” Keep up to date on where you are and what you are doing. Hanging out at the Cheers bar and want to kick it with a crowd? Let the crowd know you are there with the Hey Where Are You iPhone app. Like many iPhone apps available, this one makes it easier to connect and include people in your life.
2. Print and Share. Most printing intents end up as pipe dreams. Sure, I’ll get you that photo of us at the beach, as soon as I get home, power up the computer, find the photo in billions of computer files, hit print and then actually remember to do all that instead of falling asleep watching Leave It to Beaver reruns like I always do. The best intentions usually end up shelved unless we act right away. With the Print and Share, your iPhone is connected right to your printer. Have it start printing before you even get home. It takes a few steps out of the procrastination process, delivering results even before you make it back to your pad. It’s one of the better iPhone apps available.
3. Read it later. Usually, we find the most interesting material on the web when we least have time to read it. That’s why the Internet can be such a great source of time suckage as we find stuff we need to learn but always at the wrong time. Like many iPhone apps that make information easier, Read it Later allows you to save these web pages in your phone for further browsing. Don’t have time to read about tips for a bigger tax return during the middle of a big deadline? Read it Later allows you to save pages to your iPhone so you can read it at more convenient times, while you’re waiting for your hair care appointment or stuck at the DMV with nothing to do.
