Over at Canada.com they’ve posted their
list of top free iPhone apps that have accumulated over the past few months.
Filling out their list is the likes of FlyCast:
“It doesn’t matter if you own the
eight-gigabyte or 16-GB version of the iPhone 3G because if you have the free
FlyTunes (flytunes.fm) installed, you can access a never-ending stream of music
as if it were installed on the phone itself.” And Midomi: “you can hold the
iPhone 3G up to a speaker for Midomi to identify music, but it also lets you
use your voice to find out who sang a particular song. This includes singing a
line or two, by humming a few bars or by saying keywords.” But they’ve
overlooked a few apps in the process.
- Google Earth readily jumps to mind and
happens to be the number one free app on iTunes as of this article’s
publishing. The fact that it was just released last week shouldn’t discount it
from top lists because a lot of folks are already familiar with the innovate software
program that allows you to have the globe at your fingertips. Now it’s just
literal.
- Oh, and for those of you with just basic
cable (ie students) the I.TV app is indispensable for quickly figuring out what’s
on the old boob tube. This also means no more TV Guide channel and their repetitive
short-list of advertisements.
- And lets not forget one the first iPhone
apps, created long ago in those early days when only jailbroken iPhones could
run applications. I’m speaking of course about that finger rhythm game, Tap Tap
Revenge, which makes so much sense on a device that houses your entire music
collection, that you can’t not get it. It’s Free!
Honourable mentions go out to the Remote
app released by Apple that allows you to remotely control your iTunes on PC or
Mac. And then there’s always Labyrinth, the marble tilting wonder that would be
so much more fun if it wasn’t only a demo! Nevertheless, it’s a great way to
amaze friends and grandparents.
