There are a pile of eBook readers for the iPhone, but only one connects to Amazon’s book store, and more importantly, your Kindle library. As a standalone eBook reader, the Kindle app is a workhorse. Linked to your actual Kindle, it’s genius. Your progress is tracked between readers, so you’re always on the right page,…

LandFormer

Puzzle games come a dime a dozen, and to have some staying power they have to be truly fun to play or exceptionally nice to look at. LandFormer is both. Basically you have to level a plot of land with increasingly complex sets of maneuvers, which starts off pretty simple but quickly runs into that…

Last.fm

Creates free, effectively endless custom radio stations, streams them over 3G and learns more about your musical tastes with time. There is literally no downside to this app. This one is a bit more of a companion app than the other radio services, in that it’s accompanied by fantastic desktop clients, a rich website and…

Layar

Layar, the first camera-based AR app to really blow us (or anyone) away, has quietly slipped into the App Store. As with the Android version, the app overlays all kinds of information onto a live view of the world around you. Layar layers, which let you install user-generated overlays of all different kinds of information,…

Light-O-Matic

This week, Apple let a flood of flashlight apps into the App Store, which is kind of exciting because maybe sometime you’ll want to use your LED flash as a flashlight but even more exciting because it’s a rare instance of Apple giving developers the OK to use their precious for a function it was…

Logitech Touch Mouse

Logitech Touch Mouse: Air Mouse Pro is one of the coolest apps in the App Store. With it, you can control your computer’s mouse, enter text via the iPhone keyboard, run apps, and control media. It basically turns your iPhone into a wireless control center for your laptop or desktop, without the awkward experience of…

Meebo

There are some very good paid instant messaging apps for the App Store, and plenty of free options too. Meebo is the first that manages to be both, with almost no compromise. Meebo was one of the first companies out of the gates with an instant message web app for the iPhone, so it’s weird…

MLB At Bat

Live streaming MLB games, every day, over 3G. That is all. Actually no, it’s not: There are also plenty of video highlights, plain old text news, push notifications when games begin or end, and live audio for every regular season game.

MotionX GPS Drive

At $3 a month without any kind of long-term commitment, this is currently the cheapest decent turn-by-turn app in the App Store. And it works, pretty well! Until Google Navigation for Maps hits the iPhone, this’ll be the cheapest, least-risky turn-by-turn option out there. https://gizmodo.com/motionx-gps-drive-review-hands-down-the-best-value-in-5374147 DOWNLOAD $3/Mo

Motion X Poker Quest

Realistic dice physics meets ancient Egyptian gods in one of the more addicting iPhone games you’ll see. We’ve been fans of the MotionX dice engine since the beginning-it’s the most realistic dice rolling you’ll see anywhere outside of, well, actual dice. Quest puts the same dice-rolling action of Motion X Poker into a series of…

To Catch A Time Traveler: Dateline

Anyone else leave The Time Traveler’s Wife a bit disturbed with the amount of child/adult time spent? I’m not sayin…I’m just sayin. See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor. It’s wrong and terrible and I’m sorry, but still one does have to consider the implications of hanging out with the child version of…

Mujik

Mujik is like Bloom in that it lets anyone make amazing music in the space of a few minutes. That’s where the similarities end. At its heart, Mujik is a drum sampling machine. That description, though, doesn’t do it justice: the interface is inspired and artistic, the instrument choices, albeit limited, complement each other beautifully.…

Crazy Teenager Takes Off In Homemade Pedal-Powered Aircraft

Everyone wishes they could fly, but this 19-year-old kid spent three years building his dream from balsa wood, rip-resistant foil and plastic wrap. And amazingly, the 85-foot-wingspan craft has already hopped a distance of about 35 feet. The modest distance (and height of about 5 feet) isn’t a bad start in human-powered flight for a…

My TSA

You certainly don’t want the Transportation Security Authority in your business any more than they have to be, but it turns out having them on your phone isn’t all that bad. Their well-designed new app has real time status updates on major airports including info on delays and wait times for individual security checkpoints, as…

Navigon

Hey, so, have you heard your iPhone is also a really, truly good turn-by-turn navigation device? Because with the pricey-but-probably-worth-it Navigon, it is. There’s a lot to chew on in the space, and before you drop a hundred bucks on an iPhone app I suggest you take a gander at Wilson’s extensive breakdown of the…

Ninjawords

An intelligently pared-down dictionary and thesaurus app, Ninjawords will make you feel and seem slightly less dumb. It works offline, too. Some other dictionary apps have more features—or rather, more feature bloat—but anything you might miss, like traditional pronunciation guides, is made up for by how quickly you’ll find what you’re looking for.
