iPhone Apps You Can’t Live Without

Does your phone read you 16th century love sonnets as you go to sleep at night? With the right selection of iPhone apps, such wonders are possible. Iphone technology makes the impossible possible all the time, from streaming your entire music library to finding the cheapest rates on hotels in Hawaii, all in the palm of your hand.

The iPhone can in fact do so much that not all of it is worth doing, admittedly. Some iPhone apps are merely an excuse to give some techie guy a job without really accomplishing anything. Others can dramatically improve what you can get done every day. Here are a few iPhone apps worth bragging about.

Yelp - Lost in the city with no place to go? Time to Yelp. This iPhone app will find you the nearest bars, restaurants and banks to whatever locale you’re wandering through. If you don’t like to dive into a bar or restaurant like a bad blind date, you can read thousands of reviews by regular Joe Smoes like yourself who don’t write for the New York times.

NYTimes - Speaking of the New York Times, this iPhone app allows you to stream the voluminous sections of New York City’s biggest newspaper right from your phone. You can find stories by their section or just stream the most popular. Each article comes with full color photos, and the text is surprisingly easy to read on the screen. At this time, there are hardly any other iPhone apps that stream entire media publications, but expect more on the horizon.

Stanza - If you get stuck with some down time without a book, the Stanza lets you read the classics or anything from their large volume of public domain files. Add lengthy Word or PDF files from your computer so you can edit your term paper or look over a report from your cell phone. This is one of those iPhone apps that can appeal to anyone, from college students to federal lawyers. Don’t expect to find Heathcliff Laughs Again in the public domain, however, if your reading tastes are still stuck in the third grade.

Jott - Does the iPhone’s digital computer keyboard cramp your brain? Jott transfers voice mail into text so you can avoid all that typing. It’s ideal for text messaging if all that button pushing drives you mad.
