:: MINIMALIST, ALMOST FLAWLESS

Evernote

:: MOBILE RESEARCH

What you can accomplish with Evernote will vary depending on your needs. Because the application is so flexible the application can do more than you can initially anticipate. As this is the case you will feel as if you're not getting 100% out of the application until you've used it for a while.

VIN Hunter

:: VERY HANDY

VIN Hunter is a tool to help people keep cars organized when they’re shopping. It’s an easy app to use, but won’t have a lot of reuse potential for most people.

Put Things Off

:: SPEEDY

If you're looking for complexity and options in a To Do app, Put Things Off probably isn't the direction you want to go. But if speed and simplicity interests you, Put Things off has got plenty of both.

One Tap Dial

:: GET IT

A singularly-minded iPhone application that does one thing well, One Tap Dial is my life preserver in a sea of generic, boring and sometimes expensive speed dial applications.

MyWebClip

:: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

MyWebClip is a well executed way to manage web app bookmarks. The developer has a strong understanding of designing on the iPhone so that you would think it is a native app. Apple should incorporate some of its features into the iPhone’s OS.

Daylite Touch

:: SOLID KEEPER

Daylite Touch, from Marketcircle, is an incredible tool for people who need serious task management on the iPhone. The app ties in with Daylite and requires Daylite Server to enable syncing over a LAN or a true server environment.

mShopping

:: EH...FREE VERSION MAYBE

Here's my advice on this one: If you want a shopping list, try out the free version... but it's hard to even suggest that. For something to catalog your media (DVDs, Books, etc), do NOT waste money on this app.

Groups: Drag & Drop Contacts Management

:: REPLACED MY 'CONTACTS'

Maybe contact organizing isn't as exciting as Pocket God, but I'm about as excited as I can get about contacts with Groups.

Pocket Informant

:: Huge Potential

If the iPhone calendar and sheer absence of built-in task management leave you wanting more, check out Pocket Informant from WebIS. It is a well thought out application, adapted nicely to the iPhone. Despite some performance issues and a (current) lack of functionality compared to the more mature versions of PI that exist on other platforms, its active development ensures that this will not be the case for long.

Birdhouse

:: WORTH A LOOK

Birdhouse acts as a suave addition to your favourite Twitter client. Acting as a 140 character notepad for all your pre-tweets, the app allows you to compose, save and (when ready) publish your tweets. Don't like one? Un-publish it with a couple of taps!

Yowza!!

:: NOT YET

This somewhat overhyped location-based coupon application has a fantastic, forward-thinking concept. Unfortunately it doesn't have much to offer users at the current time.

1Password

:: RECOMMENDED

If you're on the Mac and perform lots of online financial transactions or manage websites with secure data, I believe 1Password can simplify your life while enhancing your security. Grab the free iphone app, the free desktop trial and give it a try.

Good Reader

:: SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE

Good Reader is a document reader that stands out because it can read mega-sized files (200+ Mb!). The idea is wonderful, but the slow speeds and long load times make this one quite average.

Bracketcast NCAA 2009

:: BELOW AVERAGE

Bracketcast brings Accuscore to your hand just in time for the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball tournament. Given its limited functionality, however, is it worth laying down even $0.99 for the software? Read on to find out!

Organizer

:: ABOVE AVERAGE

Organizer is useful for writing your daily plans, jotting down your ideas and for an advanced memo tool. The options in this application for making notes are impressive, but lack of calendar integration lets it down.

Notespark

:: ABOVE AVERAGE

If you aren't satisfied with the iPhone's built-in note pad, and you are connected to the Internet most of the time, you can really benefit from Notespark's constant syncing. There are a myriad of apps to consider though, and many are far better than this one. This app doesn't do that much wrong, but it has a slim feature set and though what it offers works well, it's best for iPhone users who want something simple.

Papers

:: RECOMMENDED

I'm not a scientist or medical professional so I can't attest to all of Papers' merits, but I can tell you that it appears to be a robust app that comes with a fine pedigree: The OS X version of Papers won a 2007 Apple Design Award for best scientific application for the Mac. Since Papers for the iPhone syncs with the OS X version, it allows you to leverage scientific research already in hand and also includes several search engines so you can not only take your research library with you on the go, but also add to it.

Harvest Time Tracker

:: RECOMMENDED

Harvest Time Tracker for iPhone is just one piece of the puzzle. It is used in conjunction with Harvest, the online subscription-based time tracking and invoicing system. While this app allows you to track time for the projects you are working on, management, invoicing, and expense tracking of those projects are handled by the online system.

Trunk

:: RECOMMENDED

In a nutshell Trunk is a personal wiki. It gives you the tools to create interconnected web pages using the simple Markdown language as well as the more complex HTML tags. Anyone can create these pages using WikiWords, and pages can store links to other pages or external web sites, as well as formatted text. This simplicity belies the power of Trunk, though, as it represents a unique way for users of the iPhone to manage information.

It let's you organize files in nested folders, offers cut, copy and paste, can share files via wifi, and can import files via FTP and the Internet.
