The Top 10 Must Have Apps On Your iPhone
The following is my top 10 list for must have apps on your iPhone.
- HeyTell – Stupid name but a very cool app. Turns your iPhone into a Nextel walkie talkie.
- Tango – Allows you to make video calls over 3G, unlike Facetime where you must be on a Wi-Fi network
- Evernote – The electronic version of your brain. Save notes, photos, audio messages and so much more.
- 1Password – The best password management on the market today
- Walktastic – Tracks your route, calories, miles with stats graphs and all kinds of cool stuff
- Spotify – Use of this app does require a $9.99 monthly fee, but if you are a music lover its a bargin and a must have app
- Pano – Great panorama photo app, takes great shots and stitches them together for you
- GPS Plus – a easy to use accurate turn by turn GPS
- Bump – This is one of those demo your iPhone apps, simply exchange info from iPhone to iPhone just by bumping them
- Apple Store – Not only can you shop the online, but when you are in an Apple Store it not locates the store you are in and allows you to use it as a handhelp scanner to purchase products right there in the store

Homerun Battle 3-D Rocks The iPhone
Homerun Battle 3D from COM2US is a slammin’ fun game that has slowly become the most addictive game on my iPhone. Very similar to the Home Run Derby in the MLB this game rocks. You have the option to use standard rules where you only receive points for homeruns or you can slip it into arcade mode where you get little points for hits and more points for home runs.
The graphics are excellent, your batter is in 3D and can slam some big hits. Points are rewarded for type of balls hit, some balls represent x2 and x3 hits and racking one into the score board gets big points and well as tapping the foul line poles will get you an additional 300 points.
Getting board of playing on your own, then hop online and play with people all over the world. Another cool feature is the ability to post your scores to Twitter and Facebook, but make sure your boss it not following your Twitter feed because posting 35 game scores during the work day could get you fired.
Try before you buy, it’s always a good sign when a game developer gives you the opportunity to try the game for free, in my experience this usually means the game rocks.
Five thumbs up all the way, you will love this game.

Google Voice finally comes to the iphone…Does it really?
Ok so the hype this week is Google Voice on the iPhone, so I tried it out, for off let it be known that it’s not an app it’s a web based app. You remember web based apps don’t you?
The interface is clean and very iPhone like and yes it works just fine, and as most Google products it’s free. If you remember last year Google submitted the Google Voice app to Apple but it was indeed rejected and that resulted in this Google vs. Apple battle that’s been rumored to be going on.
In any event I still think the bad guy here is AT&T, I believe they are the one’s stopping the Google Voice app. But in any event the web app works just fine although it can only be used in WiFi mode.
Hopefully good things will be happening in the coming months that will weaken this AT&T monster that has been holding back all the cool things the iPhone is capable of.

Disney.com iphone app not just for kids
I just downloaded this app last night and have not put it down since. Funny thing is I have been overlooking this app for a few weeks now because I thought it was only for kids and didn’t want to put my iphone in my soon to be 2 year olds hands to drop and break.
But this is a pretty cool app, the interface alone is very cool and slick the way you control the different programs in it. You can listen to music, watch videos, create photo frames with the different characters and play games.
Now keep in mind this is pretty much a kids app, but there is one game that is worth the download its called “The Witches of Waverly Place” based on the Disney channel TV show starring Selena Gomez. It’s a match game that is so darn addictive that once you start you just can’t put it down.
If you have young kids or are a young kid at heart, give the Disney.com iphone app a shot, it will make you feel like a kid all over again.

Some Big Companies Do Get It, AAMCO Auto Centers Launching iPhone App
The world is changing and it’s nice to see big companies changing with it. Big companies using new technologies to grow their business. The Pizza Hut iPhone app has generated over $1,000,000.00 in pizza sales in just a few months, that’s unreal.
A source of mine just released information to me about an iphone application being released by AAMCO. AAMCO Total Car Care you know them as AAMCO Transmission. I had a chance to view some screen shots of the app and have to say it looks quite impressive. The ability to diagnose a problem via the dashboard light. Instantly connect to the AAMCO location in your area. Using the iPhone’s GPS you can find the location to bring your car in. One of the coolest features is what appears to be the ability to keep a log of all the work you do on your car. I’m not sure this is a feature but it would be very cool to get a reminder sent when your next service is due.
All the info about this app is being released by AAMCO in the coming weeks, I’m guessing the app is still in the hands of Apple to get approval. AAMCO will be releasing information about the app on their new website expected in a couple of weeks. I expect this will generate a lot of sales for the Car Care Experts.
I hope to get a copy of the App soon to do a full review and will keep you posted on it.
