Amazing Apple iPhone Applications

The Apple iPhone has opened the doors to so many different possibilities, namely, iPhone applications. While in the past we needed a variety of different tools such as a phone, a navigation system, a calculator, a game system, a music player, and so on, iPhone applications offers all of these in one!

Categories of iPhone Applications
The iPhone is a real winner. There are so many iPhone applications that can make a person s life so much easier. The application categories are: Calculate, Entertainment, Games, News, Productivity, Search Tools, Social Networking, Sports, Travel, Utilities, and weather.
Calculate, Productivity, Search Tools, Utilities
Calculate has iPhone applications that can help you to measure just about anything. There s one for mileage, compound interest, federal tax, simple savings calculator, converter, and many more.
The iPhone Productivity applications offer services for everyday tasks. Some of the great productivity ones are: Quote Sheet, Receipts Tracker, To Do Lists, StockWatch, Attendance Countdown, Get all the Deals, and BudgetBuster Daily Expense Tracker. Then, there are the Utilities applications. These are tools like dictionaries and references that can be accessed right from the phone. For instance, there s Chem Dictionary, eBooks Explorer, and Weight Tracker.
Entertainment, Games, News
In Entertainment, you can find iPhone applications like Outalot which shows you where the nearest restaurants, bars, and movie theaters are located. They also offer a TV guide and GoLark Mobile, which finds the best local events. The iPhone Games applications offer a wide variety of games. There are games in all different categories like puzzle, strategy, action, roleplay, and so on. There s one called Speedway and you just race against other cars like you would on a regular game system. You can even really race against other people.
The News iPhone applications are possibly the coolest ones. There s a Stitcher Radio where you can listen to all of the entertainment, politics, sports, music, gossip, and more, like you would on a regular radio. Plus, you can get latest headline alerts or find out what s going on in your specific area.
Sports, Travel, Weather
For sports lovers, the iPhone Sports application is golden. For one, they offer Live Stats Tracker which is amazing if you are on the go but want to keep up with games that are going on. They even have an application called Get all the Sports! and it gives top headlines from the best sports sources like ESPN, Fox Sports, and Sports Illustrated.
Travel applications are designed for busy people on the go. There s one called iTraffix US and it breaks down the traffic by the minute from cities all over America. It also has a language translator in case you re traveling in another country. There s also one called Get all the Travel! that gives the latest travel news and deals.
The weather iPhone application is remarkable. Weather Made Simple is an application that gives the current weather conditions and a 10-day forecast. Other applications allow you to check the weather for anywhere in the world so if you re going on vacation you know what to expect.
Applications in a Nutshell
The iPhone makes it so that you don t need any other gadgets. The iPhone offers every type of service that someone needs within its applications. It is understandable why the iPhone is so popular.

GPS On Iphone

Of course, you will expect your new iPhone to have a GPS, as most of the smartphones on the market do have one, and you can ask yourself why Apple didn t want to add this feature when designing the iPhone. You might think that it s actually a requirement for some cellphones to have a GPS, but you re quite mistaken. The only requirement is that it should be possible to locate you somehow, with the help of calling 911 for example, but a GPS in itself is not a requirement. And there s no use in meditating on Apple s possible reasons for not incorporating this otherwise quite essential featue of GPS on their iPhone.

How Can You Get GPS?
Before the original release of iPhone, a GPS was obviously expected by at least the close community following Apple s moves. As it was clear that iPhone had a bluetooth connectivity, one can fantasize about getting a GPS bluetooth receiver and connecting this to the iPhone, then getting the suitable GPS software, and all the problems will be solved. However, as it turned out, a GPS bluetooth receiver cannot be connected to the iPhone, moreover there is no suitable and working software. Apple products are not traditionally compatible with just any products. Without the additional lack of support from Apple for third party-application, solving the problem of GPS on an iPhone seemed to be and can still seem an insurmounatble problem.
Of course, there is GoogleMaps you can use to a limited extent only where you can find wireless internet, so obviously not everywhere.
Navizon GPS On Iphone
In 2007 September, Navizon eventually released a virtual GPS navigation system on iPhones, which, relies on Wi-fi and cellular tower triangulation, and is basically a peer to peer system in which users in possession of the software can contribute data. Although some assert that this kind of localization cannot be as accurate as a real GPS receiver, this is as good as it can get under such circumstances. Navizon also allows for an initial 15-day trial period, during which users can experiment with the software and if they find it useful they can get GPS for their iPhones for less than $25. The firmware version 1.1.1. update reportedly rendered the software useless. However, a new version was released, and users can also get a scaled down version of this iPhone GPS for free.
Apple is reportedly planning to include GPS in their second generation of iPhones to be released sometime in 2008, having realized that they should have incldued this in the first version as well or having designed a suitable software by now. By all means, we should just hope that the long-awaited 3G iPhones will really have GPS.
