iTunes apps you've got to have

by John Davis

Guam - We're going to take a closer look at this year's hottest Christmas gift, the Apple iPhone 3GS.  Since we've already gone in depth on the specs and features of the iPhone, today I'll give you the 411 on the top 5 must-have iPhone applications.

The first two must have applications for the iPhone are of course Twitter and Facebook.  Once you install these 2 applications to your iphone, you'll be able to keep up with your friends and family on both social networks, plus you can still post those tweets and status updates anywhere your iPhone 3.5G networks will take you.

The number 3 must have iPhone app will have to be Pandora Internet Radio.  If you don't plan on copying your entire music library from your computer to your iPhone, this app will suit you just fine.  With Pandora, you can listen to just about any music genre, rock, pop, top 40, reggae and even country, yes I said country.  Listening to Internet radio is completely free and won't take up any of that precious memory on your iPhone.

The number 4 must have iPhone app has to be Live Cams.  With this app, you'll be able to view live web cams from various places around the world to see what's happening in real time.  Ever want to visit a beach in Hawaii? Well, with live cams you can visit the Hale Pau Hana Beach in Hawaii without buying the plane ticket.

Speaking of going places, the number 5 must have iPhone app is called whatsapp.  If you were a Blackberry user that converted to the iPhone, you probably miss the ability to chat with your friends via the Blackberry messenger application, but it's all good with the installation of whatsapp allowing you to chat in real–time with all of your iPhone contacts you invite to join your chat group.

All of these applications can be found in the App Store and they're completely affordable so sign up for your iTunes account and start downloading those cool applications, which I'm sure will not disappoint.
