Since the new year is here, I'll do a year in review post listing my favorite apps of 2008. I know there is some great stuff looming on the horizon, so I am anxiously looking forward to see exactly what 2009 has in store.

shazam - I love this app. I use it all the time. I listen to a lot of latin music though, and it can't always identify it. perhaps that will change in the future.

shop savvy / compare everywhere - Two more absolutely awesome apps. I am awaiting the continued entry of products, as I've scanned several things that are not in the database.

pacer - there is nothing out of the ordinary about this app - it's a simple interval timer. I am a fitness instructor, however, and having an interval timer on the phone means not having to constantly hold a stopwatch.

video player - no need to elaborate.

exact call log - one of the better and most useful apps I have seen so far. a very good call log.

steel - excellent web browser. I was very impressed with the touch screen keyboard.

the schwartz unleashed - sure, it seems kind of retarded - it's a schwartz saber (well, most people under 25 may have no clue what that is, so I'll say light saber) - but my kids love it. it keeps them occupied for extended lengths of time.

toggle lock - another one that keeps the kids occupied for hours.

bonsai blast / brain genius deluxe - two excellent games from glu. I highly recommend them both.

visual voicemail - I love the fact that I can look at a list of who left voicemails, allowing me to pick and choose which I listen to, and which I delete. The next step should be to make it truly visual, transcribing the message to text and allowing you to read it, as the iPhone does.

thanks for the information........ great time to read your article.
