Going through my iPhone apps - part 1

I read an article in The New York Times about a woman with dozens of shoes and only 5 apps on her iPhone.

I have three pair of shoes and a pair of flip flops. I have some funeral shoes I forgot to include before, although I'm sure those don't fit anymore.

But back to the apps.You only get room for 164 apps. 20 of those are Apple's and you can NOT delete them. There are no folders you can store apps in. iTunes hold all the information from you iPhone and all the apps you have downloaded. If you take an app off the iPhone, it hangs out in the Limbo of iTunes and can be resurrected. You don't have to pay for it a second time.

So here we go...



These are the apps that come with the iPhone from Apple. You can't remove them. You can rearrange them. The 4 apps on the bottom bar will show up on every "page." Personally, from this page, I do not need Calendar, Stocks, Notes is duplicated (better, elsewhere) and Compass can be found in Maps. Weather can go too, as Weather Channel is more robust. There are other apps better than Voice Notes.



Now with the second page on, these are apps I purchased or got for free in the App Store. This second page is a Social Media page of sorts. Flook might be on the next to go list, along with 12UP and Loopt. The Ustream Broadcaster works quite well, especially with a WiFi connection.

Shiny Search is an app I will explain more in a future post. It provides links to a lot of social networking sites and others: Amazon, Facebook, Squidoo, Flickr, eBay, LinkedIn, Stumble Upon, Wordpress, and more. Shiny Search is worth getting.





A lot of Twitter apps on this page. TweetMonitor and TweetLabs let you search trending topics. I use TwitPic all the time - at least every day. * A Tweet * and Quick Words are great apps that let you assign a work or phrase to a single key. Kindle lets you read the Amazon selections on the iPhone and is a free app. Around Me will give you churches, theaters, gas stations and more around wherever you happen to be.



PreSize is an excellent app that helps you measure items that you can rest on the iPhone screen. I keep the informative SerialKiller app next to the Bible, but Killa is on the exit list. MemStatus is one of the better programs to show and free memory on your iPhone. AppBox Pro is filled with helpful apps: flashlight, unit converters, tip calculator and many more - must have. Messages, sorry at 30 cents each I rarely text. I have 5 accounts hooked up to the email. iDisk has MobileMe and will track down your iPhone with GPS if it escapes your grasp.

Wattpad - MUST HAVE. Lots of Free eBooks available, classics too. You can even get FREE books by Charles Bukowski. You can Write your own stories, and publish them to Wattpad!
