15 Best iPhone Apps for Newbies
http://www.cio.com/article/654464/15_Best_iPhone_Apps_for_Newbies
For years, many have longed to own an iPhone, only to be turned off by AT&T's dodgy network. The wait is over: A Verizon iPhone 4 will hit the market Feb. 10. So what will you download first? Here are 15 can't-miss iPhone apps.
LED-Flashlight
Take it from experienced iPhone owners, don't underestimate the power of a handy flashlight. Many flashlight apps quickly illuminate the iPhone's screen, but the LED Flashlight (free) also taps the iPhone 4's built-in flash for a tighter light beam.
Facebook
For many iPhone owners, the most heavily used app is Facebook (free). The iPhone and Facebook app make it super easy to check status updates throughout the day. If you're a Facebook user, this app will likely take a coveted spot on the first home screen (if not the lock screen).
AIM
AIM ($2.99) keeps you in touch with your friends, letting you know when they're available and managing conversations easily and clearly. You can also post your status on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Lifestream over the app.
Siri
Imagine telling a personal assistant to remind you to call your mom, book a taxi, find out what's playing at a movie theatre. That virtual assistant is an iPhone search app called Siri Assistant (free). The app is so good that Apple spent millions to acquire Siri last year.
AroundMe
Find out what's around you, such as stores, gas stations, bars and other places of interest with AroundMe (free). See places on a map dotted with flags, or use the augmented reality feature that shows places and distances via the iPhone camera.
CNN
The iPhone is a "lean forward" mobile device where you get the latest news, videos, photos and alerts. No major media app has captured this experience better than CNN for iPhone (free).
Instapaper
As you run across articles, blogs and news, save those Web pages for offline reading on the iPhone with Instapaper ($4.99). This app turns Web pages into a great reading experience.
Kindle
Reading a book on the iPhone isn't as bad as it sounds, especially if you have a good reader app like Kindle (free). You may have heard of the big bookstore for Kindle, too, called Amazon.
Evernote
Take text, audio and photo notes with Evernote (free). Notes are dated and searchable and tagged with geolocation information for mapping. Now when inspiration strikes, you can just whip out your iPhone and capture the moment via Evernote.
Banking App
Did you pay the electricity bill? Need to transfer funds to pick up the dinner tab? Where's the nearest ATM? Download a bank's official iPhone app from the App Store, and you'll feel a lot safer with mobile banking. iPhones and banks go together like deposits and withdrawals.
RedLaser
Before you buy anything, make sure you scan the barcode with RedLaser (free). The app uses the iPhone camera to capture a barcode image, then identifies the product and provides competitive pricing among various retailers.
Groupon
If you're a penny pincher (who isn't these days?), then get Groupon. Yes, it's a free app. Groupon serves up a daily deal on a product or service near you. Of course, you'll have to be in one of 130 applicable cities in the United States.
Shazam
One of the first "wow" apps on the iPhone, Shazam (free) listens to music and identifies the artist and song. In the past, Shazam provided unlimited song tagging; today, the limit is five per month or unlimited with Shazam Encore ($4.99).
Netflix
If you're a Netflix fan, this Netflix iPhone app (free) is a no-brainer. Watch TV shows and movies streaming from Netflix on your iPhone. While not quite the big screen, the iPhone still delivers a pretty good viewing experience.
Angry Birds
Yes, this is a must-have game app. Those dastardly pigs have stolen the angry birds' eggs. Oh, the horror! You'll come to know soon enough why you must be part of this epic war. Snickering pigs will haunt your dreams.

15 Best iPad Apps for Newbies
http://www.cio.com/article/668364/15_Best_iPad_Apps_for_Newbies
Are you considering the upcoming iPad 2 as your first iPad? An iPad, unplugged, is a welcome contrast to the communications-driven iPhone. Take our tour of cool apps that take advantage of the iPad's leisurely user experience.
Flipboard
Magazines play well on the iPad because of the casual reading experience. Flipboard (free) is an app for creating a customized magazine that pulls content and pictures from Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds, Flickr, favorite blogs and Web sites. Best of all, Flipboard lets you flip through the neatly organized, wonderfully laid-out pages.
Instapaper
Instapaper ($4.99) lets you save articles, blogs and news for offline reading. The app turns Web pages into a great reading experience. It is one of our 15 best iPhone apps for newbies. But few people can stand to read feature stories on a browser or iPhone. The iPad and Instapaper are bringing back long-form reading on the Web.
Marvel Comics
Comics are fast-becoming an exciting form of literature, but they don't render well on black-and-white tablets. Thankfully, the iPad is bursting with color and can showcase comics in all their glory. Now you can catch all your favorite superheroes in action on your iPad with Marvel Comics (free).
Dropbox + QuickOffice
The iPad isn't all fun and games, sometimes there's real work to be done. That's when you'll need two apps: cloud storage app Dropbox (free up to 2GB) and Quickoffice. Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite for iPad ($14.99) lets you access and work on Dropbox-stored Excel spreadsheets, Word documents and, recently, PowerPoint slides.
Bento for iPad
The 10-inch iPad screen is roughly the size of a bento box, a neatly packed Japanese meal. This makes Bento for iPad ($4.99) a perfect fit. Optimized for the iPad, Bento is a personal organizer that helps you manage everything from contacts, events and to-do items to special activities such as exercise regimens and diet plans.
ArtRage
Art on the iPhone made headlines nearly two years ago when Jorge Colombo drew a painting that made The New Yorker cover. Really, though, doesn't the larger iPad screen make a better canvas? ArtRage ($6.99) is a painting simulation app that keeps track of the amount of paint on the canvas, watercolors reacting to the wetness of the brush, blending colors, and much more.
Epicurious
I probably spend more time grocery shopping, cooking and eating than any other personal activity. Epicurious (free) serves up more than 30,000 recipes from magazines, chefs and cookbooks. Best part of the iPad app version: The big screen makes it easy to follow recipes step-by-step in the kitchen.
Bonus advice: Get a stand that keeps youriPad free and clear from messy ingredients.
Netflix
Sure, there's a time and place for watching HD movies on a big screen. More often than not, though, you'll catch a flick while on the go or quietly in bed. At times like these, you'll want Netflix (free) on the iPad. The iPad's screen is big enough to catch R2-D2's cameo in J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek blockbuster movie.
The Daily
The Daily ($39.99 per year) recently debuted on the iPad under Apple's new subscription model. For a dime and a penny a day, you get more than 100 pages of original news, entertainment, lifestyle, opinions, breaking news updates, customized sports pages, videos, interactive graphics, and great photography.
Star Walk
With Star Walk ($4.99), the iPad becomes a map to the stars. Just point your iPad at the sky, and you'll learn the identities of the stars, constellations and satellites. Of course, if you live in Los Angeles, all you'll really see is smog covering up the stars (and we're not talking movie stars, either).
Penultimate
Most of us got through college by scratching notes on a pad of paper. Penultimate ($1.99) brings that chaotic yet critical learning experience to the iPad. Using inking technology, Penultimate lets you take notes on realistic paper. After all, it's how some of the world's greatest ideas got started.
Pages, Keynote, Numbers
Apple's productivity apps were made for the iPad (or maybe it's the other way around?). They consist of Pages ($9.99) for word processing, Keynote ($9.99) for presentations and Numbers ($9.99) for spreadsheets. I think they beat the pants off of Microsoft (MSFT) Office. The only problem is that everyone else uses Office.
RISK: The Official Game for iPad
The iPad has become a supremely popular gaming platform. The big screen of the iPad is also bringing back another kind of gaming: the board game. A group of people can now gather around the iPad socially (unlike an iPhone or vertical computer screen). One of my favorite games is Risk ($.99). Besides, aren't you tired of hearing about Angry Birds?

Adobe (ADBE) Photoshop Express
Photoshop pros probably won't get too excited about this iPad app from Adobe, but photo hobbyists will have fun with Adobe Photoshop Express (free). Thanks to the iPad's larger screen, you'll be able to easily crop and rotate photos, create effects and borders, manipulate color, apply filters, etc.

Amazon Kindle
In only a few months since its debut last year, the iPad quickly became the second most popular e-reader behind the Amazon Kindle. If reading is your passion, getting the Kindle iPad app (free) is a no-brainer. Sure, Apple (AAPL) has its own iBook Store app, but the Amazon book selection is unbeatable

iOS 4.3.2 Carrier Unlock Available, Run iPad apps on iPhone
Jailbreakers everywhere rejoice! If you have an iPad and have always wanted those apps on your phone, today is your day. Also, get that iPhone 4 unlocked, with our how-to guide posted with the new Ultrasnow update. The Ultrasnow version 1.2.2 supports the carrier unlock for iOS 4.3.2 on iPhone 4, allowing you the freedom to use any GSM carrier.
Now, you want to run your iPad apps on that new unlocked iPhone 4. Let’s go over the steps below:
1. Go download the iTelePad2Pod app here.
2. Install the App to your applications folder in MacOSX and run it.
3. Your iPad must be jailbroken to get this working.
4. Enable SSH on your device if it is not already.
5. Follow the rest of the directions via the app.
Don’t expect much from this however. Not all apps will work with this trick, and most apps were not formatted for landscape on the iPhone. Also, in some of the apps, you will be missing some screen because the resolution is higher on the iPad, so the sides may be cut off on the phone. In any case, give this a shot on your favorite apps and see how well it works for you.

Could the iPhone 5 look like a beveled iPod touch?
See that up there? That could be your next iPhone -- or it could be a tear-shaped dream. It's a mock-up of what is said to be the iPhone 5, according to anonymous sources quoted by Joshua Topolsky.
A continuation of the concepts laid out in our post-CES look at what's next for Apple, the design here is said to be thin, metal-backed, tapered, and sporting a 3.7-inch display with the same 960 x 640 resolution in the iPhone 4's retina display -- resulting in a slight drop from that phone's vaunted 326ppi density. The home button is quite obviously enlarged, possibly adding some thumbable gestures into the mix. Internals are said to include a "swipable" area, possibly meaning NFC, along with a Qualcomm Gobi chipset with support for CDMA and GSM, so this could be the one phone to rule all the carriers. Or, it might wind up only ever having domain over a single .PSD file. To us, well, it looks a little too thin to be packing all that and a bag of antennas as suggested and, with all the weight at the top, we can see this things flying out of hands left and right.
Update: The source has been updated with a note indicating that the bevel may be "a little exaggerated" in the above mock-up and that the back may not be metal after all.
iPhone 5 Release Slated For September, With Production Starting In July?
Now that the news of a white iPhone 4 coming in Spring has been confirmed, earlier reports of a delayed iPhone 5 coming in 3rd quarter of 2011 did seem to be true. Now there are more reports substantiating these claims.
Reuters reports that 3 of their sources who have a good knowledge of Apple’s supply chain have said that iPhone 5 production will start in July or August and it will hit the market in September. According to these sources who decline to identify themselves, iPhone 5 will be pretty much similar to iPhone 4 except for a faster processor (dual core A5 of iPad?).
This news is contradicting earlier reports from a Korean site which confirmed a June 2011 release of iPhone 5, immediately following Apple’s WWDC. There are so many contradicting reports when it comes to iPhone 5 release date, it’s hard to know which to believe.

Forget iPhone 3G S: Eight Great New iPhone Alternatives
After much hype—and a bit of hysteria—Apple finally unveiled its new iPhone this week at its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco: the iPhone 3G S.
iPhone 3G S is packed with all of the existing features of the iPhone 3G, and according to Apple "everything [inside] is faster." We're not so sure about that statement, but there's one thing that is certain: There are plenty of alternative devices on the market you should see before dropping a chunk of change on the iPhone 3G S—even if you're a Mac-crazed iPhone lover.
What follows is our collection of the eight best high-end smartphones available today, from companies like Research In Motion, Palm, HTC and Nokia. You'll also find our reasons why you might want one—or all—of them over the new iPhone.
Pop on the slides for specifics.
iPhone 3G S
Description: Apple's new iPhone 3G S looks just like earlier iPhone models, but its belly is full of new innovations. Specifically, there's now a 32GB version; a new 3.0 megapixel camera with video capture and autofocus; a built-in compass feature, which integrates with Apple's native Maps app; and "better" battery life.
Pricing: $199 with new two-year AT&T service agreement, 16GB; $299 with two-year contract, 32GB.
Availability: June 19, 2009 in the U.S.
Palm Pre
Description: Palm's first webOS-based device finally arrived after months of rumors. Packed with features and a shiny new user interface, the Pre represents struggling Palm's last ditch effort to get back into the smartphone game along with Apple and RIM—and based on early first impressions, the Pre just might do the trick.
Pricing: $199.99 with new, two-year Sprint service agreement and $100 mail-in rebate.
Availability: June 6, 2009 via Sprint, though supply shortages are expected due to very strong demand.
What Pre Has That iPhone Doesn't: More compact size; physical, full QWERTY keyboard; brand new webOS handheld software.
HTC Touch Pro2
Description: HTC's follow-up to its popular Touch Pro, a.k.a. Fuze, the Touch Pro2packs a punch in the form of Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional software, a mean, 3.6-inch touch screen and a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard. Sleek and stunning—if a bit clunky compared to the iPhone—the Touch Pro2 represents the current cream of the Windows Mobile crop.
Pricing: £510 (approximately US$845)unlocked.
Availability: TouchPro2 is available unlocked through European retailers, but it's not currently for sale in the United States. Rumors suggest the device will hit U.S. carriers' shelves in late summer/early fall.
What Touch Pro2 Has That iPhone Doesn't: Large, physical QWERTY keyboard; slider design; Windows Mobile 6.1 OS software.
BlackBerry Storm
Description: The Storm 9530 is the world's first BlackBerry with a touch screen, and despite some early software "hiccups" it's now one of RIM's most popular devices—and Verizon Wireless' best selling BlackBerry. Its large display and included 8GB memory card make it a multimedia machine. The Storm's SurePre's touch screen may not quite equal the iPhone touch-experience—yet—but it didwin RIM a Mobile World Congress award.
Pricing: $199.99 with new, two-year Verizon Wireless service agreement.
Availability: Now via Verizon Wireless in the U.S.
What Storm Has That iPhone Doesn't:"Clicky" touch screen provides tactile feedback to improve typing; BlackBerry's messaging and security features; more virtual keyboard orientation options.
Nokia E71x
Description: Nokia's U.S. version of the popular, candy-bar styled Nokia E71 packs all the punch of its European counterpart, including a great—if a bit small—full QWERTY keyboard. The E71x delivers a quality digital camera and the Symbian S60 mobile OS—within an extremely thin form factor.
Pricing: $99.99 with new two-year AT&T service agreement and after $50 mail-in rebate.
Availability: Immediately via AT&T in the U.S.
What the E71x Has That iPhone Doesn't:Full QWERTY, physical keyboard; expandable memory; Symbian, S60 3.2 mobile OS; 3.2 megapixel digital camera with auto focus, flash and video capture.
HTC Magic
Description: HTC's Magic smartphone, a.k.a., the G2 (Google Phone 2) or I/O, is the second U.S. Android-powered device. It also runs the latest iteration of search-giant Google's mobile OS, Android 1.5, dubbed "Cupcake," with new features like an on-screen keyboard, integrated device-wide search and video recording.
Pricing & Availability: Vodafone U.K. currently offers the Magic for free with qualifying monthly service plans. T-Mobile will release the device under the name "myTouch 3G" during the summer of 2009.
What the Magic Has That iPhone Doesn't:Google's latest Android OS 1.5; trackball and on-screen navigation; expandable memory.
BlackBerry Bold 9000
Description: RIM's first 3G, GSM BlackBerry packs a blazing 624-MHz processor and stunning 360 x 420 display, making it one of the most powerful and functional smartphones on the market. The Bold 9000 is slightly larger than the iPhone 3G, but its impressive feature set, including one of the best keyboards to ever grace a mobile device, more than makes up for the extra bulk.
Pricing: $199.99 along with new two-year AT&T service agreement and after $100 mail-in rebate.
Availability: Immediately via AT&T in the U.S.
What the Bold Has That iPhone Doesn't:Large, functional full QWERTY physical keyboard; BlackBerry's renowned messaging and security features; faster processor.
Nokia N97
Description: Nokia's latest "multimedia computer," the N97 could really be grouped in an entirely different category than the new iPhones; however, its multimedia-centric nature and massive touch screen clearly make it an iPhone competitor—and one that could actually give Apple a run for its money in the consumer device space.
Pricing & Availability: Available in Nokia flagship stores in the U.S. for $699.00. No official U.S. carrier as of yet.
What the N97 Has That iPhone Doesn't:Large, full QWERTY physical keyboard; 32GB of built-in storage capacity along with expandable memory slot; large 3.5", 640 x 360 resistive touch screen; high-quality 5 megapixel camera.
Bundles of Unreleased 'Berrys
Description: Not one of these RIM devices has been officially announced—let alone assigned a release date—but it would be wrong of me not to mention them, since each and every one could put the new iPhones to shame in its own right. The BlackBerry Touris a CDMA, BlackBerry Bold/Curve 8900 hybrid; the Onyx is a "bolder," sleeker Bold 9000; the Magnum reportedly has both a Bold-like keyboard and a Storm-ish touch screen; and finally, the Storm 2, is, well, you guessed it, an enhanced Storm with new features like Wi-Fi.
Pricing & Availability: Nothing official but predicted $200 - $400; all expected to be released in 2009.
What BlackBerry Has That iPhone Doesn't: Revered keyboards; SurePress touch technology; BlackBerry's renowned messaging and security features.
