Ten iPhone applications that you shouldn’t leave home without

14 06 2009

By now, most Aussie iPhone users will have fairly strong ideas on what their most valuable applications are.  I certainly do, and I’d like to share my top ten as of 14 June 2009.

I’ll count them down from ten to one, with number one being my most valued application:

    10. iFirstAid – provides access to some useful First Aid information in case of an emergency.

    9. Around Me – gives you information on what facilities (ie. restaurants, shops, cafes, carparks, etc) are nearby to your current location.  All in all, quite a handy application if you’re roaming in unfamiliar territory.

    8. Wikipanion – powered by Wikipedia, this is a very useful application for quick-referencing anything.

    7. IceTV – a local Australian TV guide through your iPhone!

    6. Google – a very well-crafted search application from Google, featuring voice recognition!

    5. Shazam – an incredibly accurate song ‘identifier’.  Whenever you hear a song on the radio or in a café and you’d like to know more about it, you can ask this program to ‘tag’ it, and it will then tell you what the song is!

    4. MotionX GPS – if you’re into jogging, cycling, walking or driving, then this is a great application for tracking your routes and general performance over time.

    3. ABC News – this is a brilliant application for daily Australian news and includes ABC podcasts, videos and more.

    2. Oz Weather – it’s a very accurate weather application, and much better than the default iPhone ‘Weather’ application.

    1. Facebook – if you have a Facebook profile and an iPhone, then this is a must-have application! It allows you to quickly check your profile, see what your friends are up to and communicate quickly with various people in your life!
