iPhone - iLive

Wednesday October 21, 2009

With everyone from tech developers at Apple to high school kids in Europe creating  iPhone apps these days, the number of apps available for download have soared into the 70,000 + range. (Read - Are you serious?)

Yes, apparently, in order for our lives to be fulfilling, rewarding, and effective, we need to download iPhone apps like Fromage, the guide to 380 cheeses around the world or Zombie Pizza, a game where you feed zombies their... er... snack. For the musically inclined, there are apps to tune your instrument, play the piano, and even play your iPhone like a flute. For the mom, there are apps to teach your toddler ASL, monitor your baby, and offer parenting advice when you're ready to scream.

For the test-takers, there are iPhone apps to help prep for the SAT, GRE and everything in between.

It's ridiculous. How am I supposed to figure out which iPhone apps are helpful? Annoying? Buggy? Worth the $4.99? With so many to choose from, I'm thinking I need an iPhone app to tell me which iPhone apps to choose.

Guess I'm going to have to hire a high schooler with much greater app development knowledge than I currently possess to create that one for me.

I'm pretty sure I won't be able to live without it.
