Essential iPhone Apps

Get yours posted.

Remote - Controls iTunes from your phone, handy as fuck
SimplifyMedia 2.0 - Similar to remote but lets you play your entire iTunes, Winamp, Windows Media or straight up music folders over wi-fi, 3g and EDGE anywhere.
WikiTap - Wikipedia at the touch of the screen.
TVGuide - Lists all British TV listings, including Sky etc.
Epicurious - Recipes and shopping list, basically.
Agile Messeger - Instand messaging, the best out of the bunch by far.

Re: Essential iPhone Apps

eBay Mobile - Does what it says on the tin.
Wikipanion - As above, much easier and handier than reading off of Safari.
TVGuide - As Dyno's post.
Facebook - I'm a Facebook slut.
Twitterfon Pro - My fav of the Twitter apps. I don't Tweet really, so this does me fine.
mBox Mail - Hotmail on the iPhone. Yeah, fuck you Apple.
comiXology - Shows my weekly "pull" list, shows weekly releases, previews and a hell of a lot more. LOVE this app.

Re: Essential iPhone Apps

Reuters News Pro is a better news app.

I'd use TweetDeck if it wasn't so buggy - other than crashing constantly it's a slick app. Will switch full time from Twitterfon when there's a fix released.

Re: Essential iPhone Apps

Surely for news you'd be better just getting an RSS reader or similar?

Re: Essential iPhone Apps

You rarely get full-text RSS feeds from news providers, just a headline and a brief summary.

(The Guardian is a notable exception).

What Zero said, and, unusually for me, I actually use the extra features (picture/video) because it's such a neat little app that works well.

Re: Essential iPhone Apps

Downloading Simplifymedia just now - Am I right in interpreting that it lets me play MP3s that are stored on my main PC, streamed over WiFi to listen to on my iPhone?

Re: Essential iPhone Apps

I have downloaded that, what you said above appears to be the case. I'm still waiting for it to complie a list of all my MP3's before giving it a go.

Re: Essential iPhone Apps

This isn’t out yet, it’s awaiting approval from Apple to go into the store …


HELLO future. You’re finally here. Can I have my flying car now?
