Top 10 iPhone Applications

Here are the Top 10 iPhone Applications listed by Lifehacker.Com

• 101 Cookbooks - Cooking web site 101 Cookbooks has created an iPhone interface for searching for recipes on the go with your iPhone.

• goMovies - goMovies provides a nice interface for looking up movie showtimes from movie site Fandango by zip code. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see more of these in short time, but for now this looks like a winner.

• iPhilckr - I’d be surprised if Flickr doesn’t come up with their own iPhone interface, but they’ve been sketchy with their mobile interface in the past, so this cool iPhlickr app offers a nice way to browse Flickr pics.

• iPhoneDigg - organized and even offers the digg count.
• iActu - iActu provides a really cool newsstand interface for popular news outlets like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and more. Not only is the homepage cool, but browsing headlines is also a breeze.

• Gas.app - Find the nearest and cheapest gas station by giving the iPhone Gas.app your zip code. Not only do you get a quick overview of the offerings, but you can also click the station to get a Google Map view.

• iZoho - iPhone-capable versions of Zoho Writer, Zoho Sheet, and Zoho Show. The iPhone can display PDFs, Word docs, and Excel spreadsheets, but with Zoho’s tools you can actually edit some of them.

• Google Reader - iPhone version.
• iPhone Chat - The iPhoneChat web application lets you log into AIM, view your contacts, and handle tabbed chats. Until a full-fledged local iChat app becomes available (I’m assuming it will eventually), this is a great alternative.

• OneTrip Shoppping List - OneTrip has a simple and ingenious interface for quickly organizing and building a shopping list. It’s simple, and any iPhone user should find it incredibly useful.

Google Earth iPhone Version Is Being Developed

A startup company called Earthscape is developing a Google Earth style application for the iPhone - that lets you tilt the phone to navigate around to different parts of the globe.

This early demo of the app - which is being developed using the iPhoen SDK and is currently in private beta on Windows only - was originally posted on the Google Earth Blog.

Here’s a little more detail on the Earthscape Mobile program:

The demo is of a mobile application (Earthscape Mobile) in development that puts virtual earth software on the iPhone. When the iPhone is tilted, the earth begins to rotate and you can navigate to another part of the globe. Taylor notes that the app was running locally on the phone, and that ideally you’d would want real geo-spatial information downloaded over WiFi or 3G, which would take a ton of bandwidth and effect performance.

Jing - Screen Capture Apps

Jing is a screen capture application that allows you to select and capture parts of your screen and save that area as a static picture or even a movie. Then you can add arrows, text and box highlights to draw further attention to the area you want to highlight.

The thing that makes Jing unique is that it has a “share” button, which allows you to share the image or video with a friend by connecting to the free screencast.com image hosting solution. Click share, it uploads your media behind the scenes, and places the link to the screen in your clipboard. You can then email or paste that URL into your chat application for your friends to see.

You also can use Jing to record video..
