Lifehacker Apps

I am a HUGE fan of Lifehacker, so when they come out with a list of their favorite iPhone Apps, I pay attention. You'll see a number of apps here that we've already reviewed on AppTalk. If you want us to talk about others, just let us know!!

PS--check out Lifehacker's list of fav mac apps, too!

Happy Birthday, App Store!

That's right, today the App Store turns two! One year ago there were 65,000 applications available that had amassed 1.5 billion downloads. Now there are over 229,000 applications available that have been downloaded over 5 billion times. That's one big toddler!!

Is there a worm in the apple?

I was all gung-ho to get a 4, but now I'm not so sure. Seems like major reports of glitches are streaming in, particularly regarding a yellow band on the display, and decreased reception if you hold the phone by its sides. (Is that why apple came out with its own holder for the first time?)

I think the buy signal just went to hold--as in hold off for a while.

What Apps are on Your Home Screen?

For those of you with more than a page or two of apps, organization becomes important. There are many approaches, but a fairly uniform suggestion is that you keep your most used apps on your home (first) page. Here are the apps and sites that I keep up front:

First Row: Contacts, Messages, Calendar, and Maps
Second Row: Google Reader, Google Search, Gmail, Facebook
Third Row: Google Apps, The Weather Channel (NOT the iphone weather app), Shopping List (reviewed in AppTalk), Evernote (ditto)
Fourth Row: Calculator, Camera, Settings, and aNote (to be reviewed soon!)

Bottom Tray: Mail, Phone, Safari, and iPod
