The must have iPhone applications..

So it has been a few months since I got the iPhone 3GS and my collection of application is still growing.   With tens of thousand of applications available through the Apple App Store I would like to share with you my recommendations.

1)    iPhone TVCatchUp – This is my favorite application on the iPhone and this completely revolutionises the device.  The web application is very simple and lets you stream live TV to your iPhone in great quality over 3G or WiFi.

2)    Facebook – The new 3.02 has some great features and an improved UI so you can almost do everything you from your iPhone

3)    EchoFon (Formally TwitterFon) – I think this is the best free Twitter application around, great for direct messages, trends and tweets by location.

4)     Yelp – This application has an Augmented Reality feature called the Monocle which uses the GPS and Compass to identify your location uses your camera it overlay business around you (Very Cool).

5)     London JamCams - This is a useful application if you spend a lot of time driving around London and get stuck in traffic jams.  The application uses a real-time feed from TFL and displays traffic images of major roads around London.

6)    WhatsApp – This app is like Blackberry Messenger for iPhone. The integration with the iPhone is great and with Push Notifications you get instant messages without keeping the application running.  With more and more iPhone’s using this, it could become a must have application

7)    BBC IPlayer for iPhone – This is a great web application, which allows you to catchup on BBC TV whilst on the move.

8 )  Google Latitude – This is google’s attempt at a location-based services and starting to see some uptake, the downside of this service on the iPhone is web-based and needs to be running to keep your location up to date unlike the Blackberry or Windows Mobile Applications

9)    FeX for Facebook – This was one my first apps on the iPhone, which syncs your mobile contacts with Facebook and adds pictures and birthdays so when they call it pops up.

10) Salesforce.com Mobile – If you use Salesforce.com you will like this application, I have used this on Windows Mobile and Blackberry and can say the iPhone version is far better.  The application visual dashboards look great.

11) LinkedIN – This app is ok but it could do a lot more, worth a download anyway.

12) Skype – This only works on WiFi but great way to make free calls to other or SkypeChat.

These are a few of my favorite apps, will add another batch on soon.
