I Got A Blog!!!

Remote (Apple) is a simple app that allows you to control iTunes on both Mac and PC. It also allows you to control Apple TV. It allows you to switch between different computers (including Apple TV) and it works flawlessly. The app is extremely responsive and that’s why it makes its way to the top of the list.

Twinkle (Tapulous) is a location aware twitter client. Not only does this app look great, but beats out Twitterific (if you like the desktop version of Twitterific, you’ll want Twinkle on your iPhone). The only gripe that I have with this app is that every once in a while it’ll crash – nonetheless it’s a great app.

Shazam (Shazam Entertainmend Ltd.) could easily be one of the best iPhone apps. If, like me, you’ve ever wondered what song is currently playing on the radio then this app is for you. Simply click the “Tag Now” button and it listens to what is playing and after a few seconds it detects the song playing and stores it for future reference. It has many more features so I definitely suggest you download this app.

Pandora Radio (Pandora Media, Inc.) is a great app for music lovers. It works flawlessly as long as you have a Pandora account. If you do not it’ll prompt you to set one up. Creating an account is easy — Don’t forget to finish the registration form through the third and final step or you’ll run into a little trouble when trying to use the app on your iPhone. Once the app is up and running you can listen to music related to what you like and tag it based on a like/dislike basis. Like a song? Bookmarking the song is simple — or buy it immediately in iTunes. Pandora Radio is a great way to discover new music. Keep your iPhone charged up because this app uses the 3G data network (where available) and we all know how much that sucks the life right out of your battery.

PhoneSaber (TheMacBox) is one of the geekiest apps of them all — and I love it. Choose a color and it powers on your accelerometer controlled lightsaber that makes noise when swinging your iPhone around. That’s all there is to it — now you can have your epic geek battles with your friends. While this app won’t actually burn or cut through anything, it may burn a hole in your pocket if you let go while swinging into oblivion.

The App store seems to have a lot of buggy apps due to the long-standing NDA, which disallowed developers to communicate about methods of doing something thing better. Developers are now able to communicate and we’ll start to see better performing apps as well as updates to current buggy ones. That’s the top 5. What are your favorite iPhone apps?
