Top 5 Favorite iPhone Apps

Dragon Dictation - Free

Dragon Dictation is the solution to Apple’s missing speech-to-text feature that Android users have been teasing us with. Dragon Dictation is very simple to use.Simply launch the app,press “Tap and Dictate” and start talking.It even recognizes punctuation, e.g. “Period” or “Question Mark” Afterwards, you can send your text in an email, send it as an SMS or copy it and paste it wherever you would like it on your iPhone. I highly recommend this app if you would like a simpler way to text.

Siri - Free

Siri is basically an all in one information utility and concierge that recognizes natural speech. Saying simple commands like “Best Pizza Places Near Here” or “What’s The Temp. In San Francisco” it will deliver results within seconds depending on your connection strength. You can even voice tweet saying “Tweet” before you start talking, and it will automatically post to your Twitter account. That is my favorite feature of all. If you want to show your friends with your iPhone, download this app and show them what movies are playing in your area.

Red Laser - $.99

Red Laser is a barcode scanning app that helps you find the best price on products. By scanning a barcode, it first identifies the product, then displays the cheapest place to buy the product online, and even shows you reviews for the product you’re scanning. Check out this app if you’re a shopaholic (like me) and am always looking for the best price.

LEGO Photo - Free

Lego Photo is more of a fun app. It lego-izes any photo you take, making it look like a lego creation. Either using the camera or a pre-loaded photo, you can save them to your photo album. If you want a fun free app to entertain you and your friends, check out Lego photo, it’s a lot of fun.

 2DO Lite - Free

2Do is a full featured organization app. I downloaded the Lite version, but there is a paid version that costs $6.99. You can add due dates, audio and pictures. I myself use this for taking notes for blog articles and it works great. It even has built-in backup which backs up your notes to 2Do’s online databases. Since I have the lite version, I recommend both the lite and the full payed. Both are feature rich and will really help you stay organized. 

So what are your favorite iPhone apps (or iPad)?

Life without an iPhone.

Recently I lost my iPhone (Silly me, I know..), and was forced to go a week without it, before my insurance replaced it with a new one. In this time, I missed it a stupid amount... Here are some of the reasons.

Firstly, The iPhone allows you to check your email whereever you are. I find myself checking my emails all the time, and I wouldn't if I didn't have the phone. So when I was forced to use an old-fashioned Nokia, I was stunned to find I couldn't hit up my inbox on my way to school! It's suprising how much the iPhone can be used for, and if you own one, I think you'll agree that it's impossible to go back.

Secondly, and following on from email, I could not use Twitter and Facebook on the go! Alot of modern day phones have apps for social networking, but without it it's quite a shock. I don't use them too much anyway, but it really is a shock to the system not being able to check out some tweets during the day.

Thirdly, the iPhone's gaming is alot of fun compared to other phones. I haven't found a phone that has games that come anywhere near to the iPhone's. The accelerometer works flawlessly and the touch-screen is perfect, infact i'd say there isn't another touch screen phone that compares with the quality of the screen. Other phones use pressure etc. for the screen, but the iPhones works fantastically and picks up the slightest touch from the users finger.

Anyway, this post is pretty much finished now. There's more, but i'm sure you all know it - especially if you have one! If not, I'll just be drawing you in!

Thanks for reading, and I hope you liked the post. Please hit me up on the following:

Case-Mate iPhone 3G/3GS Turtle Case Review

I have used many cases for the iPhone and a majority of them have not been good cases for protection. I definitely can't say the same for this case. The turtle case has amazing protection. The case is made of two hard pieces of plastic that attach to your phone then for extra protection and style a piece of silicone wraps around the plastic. This case does protect very well! The first day that I had this case for review I was walking down a street and the phone went flying out of my hands and landed on pavement. I was scared that my iPhone would be destroyed but when I picked up my phone it was perfectly fine! The case had a few scratches but my phone didn't even get a scratch! This case made me say wow! Not only that but the case itself does look very cool. You get great protection and style! The only issue with this case is that the silicone does not really stay on the plastic shell and when you take it out of your pocket it almost comes all the way off.

Score: 9.5/10
