Iphone Is useless without These Application: Top 20 Iphone Applications

The mobile of the world and the biggest innovation in the history of  mobile world now  is useless for you if you don’t have these interesting and most wonderful application in your iphone. i call it the handset of the century just because of its functions and the set of wonderful application that they have in Apps store. its always difficult to search a most wanted and important softwares, games and application for your devices but i am happy that i got some of must have iphone application from the help of my friend Gizmodo. here we have a list of these applications.

  1. Pageonce Personal Assistant: Combines myriad online accounts, from banking and investing to bill paying to airline frequent fliers.
  2. AOL Radio: Four letters: KCRW. AOL Radio pipes in the legendary LA station and for this we are thankful.
  3. Fring: The only IM/messaing client you need. Covers Google Talk, AIM, Skype, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Twitter, plus VoIP calls over Wi-Fi if you’re low on minutes at home or in the coffee shop.
  4. Remote: One of the first apps we saw, and still among the best in terms of usefulness. If you use iTunes frequently….
  5. AirSharing: Our favorite file storage app—shoots files to the iPhone’s flash memory via Wi-Fi for storage, transport, and easy retrieval…..
  6. Yelp: Taps into Yelp’s community reviews to find good bars and restaurants based on your location. Essential for cities like San Francisco and New York where Yelp reviews are solid.
  7. Routesy: Can’t live in San Francisco without this app. I use it everyday to see when trains / busses are coming…..
  8. City Transit: Ditto here for NYC. Even for locals, quick access to a subway map is always a good thing, plus constantly changing service outages are impossible…..
  9. Pandora: Best internet radio app, hands down. Smartly auto-suggests music based on other artists you like….
  10. VNC Lite: View and fully control my computer from anywhere, as long as I am on the same network. So I can basically be at my computer without actually being at my computer…
  11. PanoLab: Who knew multitouch is the perfect interface for stitching photos together into panoramas? It is. Plus if the photo you just took doesn’t work, toss it out and take another one immediately.
  12. Bloom: Generative, ambient music by Brian Eno. If I need to say more, it’s also a mini-sequencer: Drop your finger on the liquidy pastel screen, play a note, make simple loops.
  13. Shazam: This just doesn’t get old: hold your phone to the air to grab the song playing at the supermarket (or being hummed by your friend), and have it identified in a few seconds.
  14. Simplify Media: Stream your home machine’s iTunes library and those of up to 30 friends to your phone. This app lives up to its name. Forget worries of filling up 8GB, or even 16.
  15. Galcon: It’s Risk, but in space, and instead of six hours it takes two minutes and you don’t have to be shitfaced to enjoy it.
  16. i.TV: Provides you with an elegant TV guide, movie listings and showtimes, and Netflix queue management all in one app.
  17. MotionX Poker: The dice rolling in MotionX Poker is one of the most accurate and painstakingly simulated dice physics engines ever built. And it shows.
  18. Snow Reports: If you fait du ski/snowboard, Snow Reports will let you know when you should drop everything and head to Alpine Mountain for the weekend.
  19. Google Earth: The same amazing Earth touring app found on the desktop, now spinnable via multi touch. Honestly if someone told me two years ago I would have a functional Google Earth app…
  20. Sketches: Brian likes this app because deep down, he’s just a Japanese schoolgirl who wants to slap sticker graphics on photos of his dog. If you share this desire, Sketches: it’s for you too.

The Best Time to Digg your story

Are you trying to build your traffic based on diggs traffic. Well  the new research shows that  best time to submit a new story on Digg is a weekday afternoon in the US.

So if you are based on the other side of the world (e.g. India), make sure you postpone all Digg submissions until midnight for maximum Digg exposure and do take a Digg-break on weekends.
Afternoons in America are the best time to Digg.
digg popularity with timing

while the digg count and submitted story count are 4-5X higher in the day time than night, the submitted count is only around 3X higher which menas that story ratio is much higher in the day time.

Cellphone sales shrinking

However Apple has reported good sales for Iphone this year but mobile sales and shipments are freezing with every coming day which is just one effect of global meltdown of economies. At the end of 3rd quarter nokia which makes one in four cellphones sold world-wide said that it expects to maintain or slightly increase its industry-leading global market share of 38% in the fourth quarter as industrywide sales decline. but now its warned it expects tepid demand during the holiday season and a shrinking global handset market next year as consumers cut spending. Infact every carrier is also complaining the same . Nokia , Qualcomm and Vodafone have all come clean and warned that the outlook looks grim for the remainder of the year and admit there’s little reason to expect anything better in 2009.
