PIMP MY iPHONE: Our Top Ten Applications

Everyone knows that when you get an iPhone it becomes NUMBER 1. Suddenly you can't live without the Wiki application and you enter some kind of Tfl paralysis without the Apple tube map. Soo let's play Pimp my iPhone.

1.Lightsaber: Obviously your number 1 essential iPhone item. Swing your iphone around and relive all your Obi wan Kenobi fantasies.

2.Spotify: It makes iTunes obsolete.

3.TIME magazine: The news in a slide show. Who needs Krishnan Guru-Murthy anyways?

4.Evernote: This allows students to make quick notes in class or in the library. It supports not only text but also photos and lets you access your notes anywhere. This makes it into our top ten for sheer uselessness- since when have you ever been allowed to use your phone so blatanly in a class?

5. Shazam: When you try to remember the tune, lyrics and name of that song you really like but can't remember any of them use Shazam to identify it. Next time it comes on just hold your iPhone to the song. If it was that good a song you'd probably remember it anyways but just in case you don't...

6.Run Keeper: It tells you how many calories you've burnt while running. Downside-you have to run.

7.METRO: Reduce your Metro footprint by downloading the paper to your iPhone before you get on the train. Also reading it on your phone means it takes up less room when the train is already fricken crowded.

8.Mint: Budgets your life for you. It checks your cashflow and gives you alerts like "You've spent too much money on parking." Tell me something I don't know...in crazy cool colour-coded barcharts.

9.Red Laser: It's like a Tesco do-it-yourself checkout but more efficient and more fun. Tells you how much everything costs, where to get it cheaper and lots of online information about that product.

10.Tube Exits: This tells you where the exits on platforms are so you know where to stand on the train. You don't need the internet to support this so you can get all the info whilst still nestled under the token fatman's armpit.

We said ten but honestly the list goes on. If you're feeling particularly touchscreen happy we also recommend Chanel,Whats App, Vocab Daily, Bump, Guardian, Convert Units and Around Me. Oh oh oh and an iPhone is never complete without BUBBLEWRAP but we are assuming you've already got that.
