The Best iPhone Apps

O’Reilly press recently released a new must get book by Josh Clark entitled “Best iPhone Apps”. As a dedicated appophile, I regularly look for newer and better apps to add to my outrageously large collection. Big as my collection has grown, the over 50,000 choices available at the App Store dwarfs my group of apps. The amazing size and continually rapid growth of the variety of available apps at the App Store makes it very difficult to keep up and impossible to get ahead of the game.

For those who have kept their app collection to a minimum, you are losing out on a great deal of enjoyment and entertainment, to say nothing of utility from available apps.

The one bad thing about the App Store is that some apps cost money and you have to buy them to try them. If you don’t like the app you bought, you can take it off your iPhone, but you cannot get a refund. As many functions have attracted numerous available apps from which you can choose, you can easily end up buying repetitively to end up with what you want.

While Clark’s book will likely lose currency in a short period of time, I still recommend it to you. The book will cost you $19.99 for a hard copy, $15.99 for an eBook version and $21.99 for both. Apps cost anywhere from nothing to at least $69.99 (that is the most expensive one I have found to date), with most of the apps that I have seen costing less than $9.99. It doesn’t take the HP 12c app emulator to calculate that the book can easily save you more than its cost before it becomes dated. At the same time, it will certainly help you make wise app choices. I found that Clark’s choices of top apps largely matched my own in those areas that I collected apps. We disagreed on about 10-15% of the choices; but I agree that his choices were also good. He left off a few of my choices in areas he did not address and included areas in which I have not collected apps. The novice or intermediate appophile should consider this book indispensable. The advanced appophile should find it desirable.

iPhone Apps

The number of people who have iPhones and do not make use of the Apps available in the iTunes Store App Store amazes me. If you have an iPhone and have not taken a good look at the App Store, you should. If you don’t have an iPhone yet, take a look at the App Store, it may convince you that it is time to get an iPhone or, at least, an iPod Touch. The iTunes store reports that it now has over 15,000 apps available, some free, some that you have to buy.

The range of apps runs from amusement to business to productivity to travel to substantive legal and medical information. For example, I keep apps that provide the California Evidence Code, Federal Rules of Evidence and FRCP on my iPhone. While Apps do not exist for all codes or even for all states, there are Apps for several codes in many states. Check the store out for your state codes.

For those of you studying for a bar exam, the Law in a Flash series provides summaries and study aids for Constitutional Law, Federal Income Tax, Evidence, Real Property, Future Interests, Wills & Trusts, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Corporations, Torts and Real Property.

Travel information abounds in the Apps Store. I recently downloaded a number of additional Apps containing street maps, subway maps and general information about New York, in anticipation of a trip I will take there. New York is not the only city for which you can get travel information; you can find it for many major cities throughout the world. You can get information about restaurants (I like Zagat and UrbanSpoon the best). You can get the local movie listings for wherever you happen to be in the US.

The bottom line: Without the App Store, the iPhone was one of the best phones around. With it, everything else pales in comparison.

Apple’s ads suggest that you can find an App for just about every need.

The range of Apps covers the gamut from entertainment to business and from games to word processing. If you have not visited the App Store you should. If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, you will, undoubtedly find something to add to your device. If you do not yet have an iPhone or iPod touch, a visit to the App Store may just convince you to buy one.

To get to the App Store, get on line and go to Apple’s iTunes Store. The best we to get there is to go through the free iTunes software (free Mac and Windows versions). If you don’t have iTunes, you can download it from the Apple web site (www.apple.com

Some of the paid Apps have “Lite” or limited versions enabling you to try them out to see if you like them before purchasing.

iPhone 3G

So many people have said so much about the new iPhone, that I won’t take a lot of time to describe it or even to talk about it. Blood Work move It qualifies as the hottest, slickest and best phone currently on the market. I really enjoy mine. Everyone in my family now has an iPhone and they all love their iPhones. My wife even learned to text message on it and she loves to use it to check her email and look things up on the Internet while she is out and about.

I love all the apps that I can add to it. Some of them have proven very useful. The ATT 3G network provides much faster Internet access speeds than its Edge network. The call quality appears to have improved as well.

The new software released with the 3G iPhone (version 2) greatly improves the iPhone’s eMail abilities. Although I have been partial to the Blackberry for eMail for some time, Apple has added some new features that the Blackberry does not have and, in some ways I now prefer the iPhone to the Blackberry for eMail. I find the iPhone’s ability to handle email completely satisfactory.

You can easily add apps from the App Store, a division of the iTunes Store on the Apple website. You have the choice of adding the apps through your computer and then synching them into the iPhone through iTunes or add them directly to your iPhone. As some of the apps are fairly large, you will find that it works best to download them to your computer or to have your iPhone connected via WiFi when you download them. Visit the Apple website at www.apple.com for more information or go directly to the App Store in the iTunes store and browse for apps.

My favorite non game apps include: Mobile News (a solid news aggregator), Tap Forms (a password protectable storage vault for your personal information such as credit card numbers, bank account numbers, etc.), Stocks (continuous reports on the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, S&P and other individual stocks of your choosing), Google (instant access for searching), ABA Journal (highlights of legal news), Now Playing (movies and times wherever you are in the US), Jott (notes you can leave yourself from any phone and recover on your iPhone in text), Yahoo One Connect (instant Yahoo), Evernote (grab it and store it), iWant (helps you locate restaurants, shops, etc. in your immediate vicinity) and TV.nu (what’s on TV). Surviving the Game ipod If you have trouble sleeping at night or just want some background noise when you relax, you might also take a look at Tranquility. It generates the sound of rain, waves crashing, a babbling brook, a forest at night and a few other sounds to help sooth your frazzled nerves or bore you to sleep.
