[definitive] Best iPhone Apps

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

hmm I haven't tried Bing. I tell you what though I LOVE the google app and use it constantly.

Does Bing do voice control like the google app?

Yup, it has speech-to-text

[SMELTN]

awesome. I downloaded it and giving it a try now. I like the colors and the bing backgrounds are nice, although I do like the history in Google app, hopefully bing has this also

[Tech-nerd]

We want to hear what are the best apps for the iPhone (both 2.0 and 3.0 firmware!)

Post your app list and give a little description of what it does and why you feel it is the best app!

So far, these are some of the iPhone Apps people on Neowin use:

Facebook

Shazam

BeejiveIM

Twitter (Variety of Apps)

Wikipanion

Navigon GPS

Pandora

Games:

Super Monkey Ball

Peggle

Flight Control

More to come...

I reckon you should post a news article about Neowin's favourite apps

I have been using slacker radio app more than Pandora lately.

I love the easy to use click stations and click Top Stations button to see all the good stations that every listens too. Now Pandora may have that option too but I haven't found it yet. Also Slacker does the ads in a 5 sec commercial every now and again instead of the ad bar over the track like Pandora does.

The Bing app doesn't work with 1st generation iPod touches. Because of the voice feature it won't let you install it, unlike the Google one where it'll let you install it just won't enable the feature.

Hi.

Hey man thanks a lot for sharing this list of applications.

[SMELTN]

for those of you with xbox you can download 360Live now for free also. Great little app that allows you to see your friends online, send messages, read your messages, and compare/track achievements.

I've been using TweetDeck for awhile now, such a good app if you use Twitter and Facebook

[VidER]

I use Tweetie2 for twitter. Not free. But worth the investment.

I have tried Echofone in the past and it is a very good free twitter app.

[Zombeast]

I'm a big Tweetie2 devotee, but if you don't want to pay the new version Echofon is basically the same app plus push notifications.

Sleep Cycle is pretty amazing. :)

You mean this one?

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sleep-cycle-alarm-clock/id320606217?mt=8

Cause there are two apps with the name (Sleep Cycle).

What do you like about it?

Do you need to have the app on while sleeping?

Jungle Crash.

AWESOME game, and its been free for a while, not sure when the free deal is over, but its an awesome game.

I just started using Touch Mouse today, and I've already found that it's awesome...

My gf and I was talking about this the other day... we don't really know how accurate it is though.

Granted she has a dog, so her charts are probably screwed up because the dog moves around at night.

Yeah I have that... I have Air Mouse which is much better and has more features than Touch Mouse. Air Mouse has a professional looking UI,
