iPhone applications have been changing the way we use these little devices. My iPhone is loaded with 15 or so applications at all times. I search iTunes weekly for more fun toys ranging from games to simple utilities that I find helpful for daily use. I have already downloaded weather applications, a Disney game that has you run around like a hamster in a ball and some voice recognition software. The addiction continues as each time I visit iTunes something catches my eye and I load it on my iPhone for a proverbial “test drive”. The nice part about the iPhone is that applications are easily added or removed if they do not work as expected. I have played with countless programs some free of charge and others for a reasonable iTunes price. Do not be fooled as some of the free applications have become my personal favorites so it’s best to explore and experiment. The purpose of this article is to post some of the more useful or fun applications I have found in the hopes they can better your iPhone experience. If you have found helpful applications please comment below and let our readers know where they can find some of these great tools.

My Favorites:

• Urban Spoon: Helps find restaurants in urban areas and rate them based on your dinning experience. The application even has a fun "shake" feature somewhat like a slot machine which when activated will pick a restaurant for you to dine at randomly. right now its available in 64 states plus some countries abroad. If your a foody or have too many places to choose from this application could help
• Woot!: Discounts on well just about everything. The catch is that each day brings new offers and when the sell out they are GONE. So act quick .. find your product get your deal . Woot!
• Easy Writer - Now your keyboard can write emails horizontal rather than vertical which creates a much larger typing area.
• Tap4Taxi - Helps find taxi cabs in most urban cities in the US. It automatically determines your location then gives you the phone number to call for your ride
