Although real software development for the iPhone lag behind, but iPhone apps pick up the slack in technological innovation. Consider that 50,000 new iPhone apps are developed every month, you can't possibly keep up on them all. Some will leave you wondering how you ever survived without them; others just leave you wondering what' s the point. Here are a few iPhone apps that live up to the hype. Pageonce Personal Assistant - Have difficulty keeping up on all your accounts? Need to check stats and finances far away from your desktop? This iPhone app keeps all your account information on the same page. You get absolute access to all your online accounts, from investments to banking to your frequent flyer miles. Instead of juggling a dozen or so sites, the Pageonce Personal Assistant does it all with one application for easy convenience. Fring - Get this app and never need another instant messaging tool again. Fring includes Google Talk, Yahoo Skype, MSN, Twitter, ICQ, plus VoIP calls over Wi-Fi if your minutes run low as you spend an afternoon lost in a bar or coffee shop. Though many iPhone apps follow one IM site or another, this one covers them all. Routesy - Don't let yourself get caught in the city without this baby in your pocket. With great info on train and bus schedules, this app tells you what bus or train to take to get where you need to be. You'll use it over your computer at home because it's simple and fast. VNC Lite - This puts your computer in the palm of your hand, even if you are far away from home. You can view and fully control your computer from anywhere, assuming you are on the same network. You thought it couldn't get any better when laptops got thinner than a Time magazine, but this beauty puts your entire desk top right there in the palm of your hand. Some iPhone apps let you connect to your computer. This one practically is your computer. Bloom - Brian Eno's generative, ambient music blooms on this iPhone app. You can drop your finger on the liquefied pastel screen and make simple loops. Make music yourself, and then add your own transcendental graphics. Perfect for making your fingers dance. This is one of the few creative iPhone apps that let you get creative too.
