Ok, I’ve had my iPhone for a while now, so I thought I’d do my top 5 list (which a lot of people have already done)
- Pocket Weather – Paid app (only one on this list @ $2.49), but for accurate Aussie weather information (straight from BOM and not some dodgy American site) it is absolutely fantastic. Very nice interface too.
- Sol Free – Solitare games (Freecell, Klondike, etc), great for when you are on the can
- Flashlight – Any flashlight app will work, but being able to use your phone as a torch is fantasic (great for when the better half has already gone to bed)
- NetNewsWire – For reading RSS feeds that you’ve subscribed to via NewsGator
- Bloomberg – Great for stock info (includes most of the international markets) and a very slick interface. At least until Teddy finishes writing the iPhone version of IRESS
I must say though, even though Apple have locked the whole thing down (unless you Jailbreak), they’ve done a fantastic job with the App Store. It’s such a great resource, and the apps have been (theoretically) audited for safety.
