Barely 1 year after the iPhone App store opened its website doors, nearly 60,000 iPhone apps boast their own existence. Some will revolutionize your life. Others aren’t worth the battery juice they suck up like OJ at breakfast.

While not all iPhone apps are worth mention, here are a few that will improve your world.

1. Hey Where Are You? Although you might not want to be trailed by the government and bill collectors, letting friends and family know where you live has its advantages. With this iPhone app, users ask and answer the question, “Hey, where are you?” Keep them up to date of your activity and location, and keep track of other friends and family members as well. Hanging out at the Jupiter for a few beers on a Friday night? Let the crowd know, and soon you’ll have a crowd. Kick it better by helping friends know where they can find you. This is one of those iPhone apps that make it easier to connect.

2. Print and Share. Let’s face it. Most of our printing ambitions are mere pipe dreams. Yeah, I’ll get you that photo of us on spring break as soon as I get home, happen to remember to find you in my millions of computer files and actually hit print instead of falling asleep on the couch in a drool of late night TV. The best intentions usually get put off into infinity unless we act on them right away. With the Print and Share, your iPhone tells your computer at home to get busy printing before you even get home. It’s one of the better iPhone apps that help you get it done today instead of putting off until tomorrow.

3. Read it later. Often, the most interesting material on the Internet is stumbled across while you’re in the middle of something. That’s why the Internet can be so distracting. You find a million things you need to read now simply because there’s no guarantee you’ll find it again. Like many iPhone apps that put the world of information at our fingertips, Read it Later helps you to save pages to your iPhone for reading at more convenient times. Read that business article when you have down time on the bus or are stuck at the DMV with finger twiddling time on your hands.

Although real software development for the iPhone lag behind, but iPhone apps pick up the slack in technological innovation. Consider that 50,000 new iPhone apps are developed every month, you can’t possibly keep up on them all. Some will leave you wondering how you ever survived without them; others just leave you wondering what’ s the point. Here are a few iPhone apps that live up to the hype.

Pageonce Personal Assistant – Is it difficult keeping up with multiple banking and portfolio accounts? Get them all on the same page with this iPhone app. You get instant online access to all your accounts, from banking to frequent flyer miles to your investments. Rather than juggling a dozen sites, use the Pageonce Personal Assistant through one application that’s easy and convenient.

Fring – This is really the only instant messaging tool you need. Enough said. It includes Google Talk, Yahoo, AIM, Twitter,Skype, MSN, ICQ, plus VoIP calls over Wi-Fi if you’ve got low minutes or your hanging out in a bar or coffee shop. There are many iPhone apps devoted to a particular IM site, but this one lets you use all of them at once. It’s universal.

Routesy – Don’t roll into the city without this baby in your pocket. A great way to keep up on train and bus schedules, this app tells you what to take to get exactly where you need to be. It’s even easier than a computer because it’s simple and quick. Get all your bus and train information with this efficiently smart iPhone app.

VNC Lite – How about turning your cell phone into your computer? With VNC Lite, you can view and fully control your computer remotely, as long as you are on the same network.

While some iPhone apps connect you to your computer, this baby practically is your computer.

Bloom – Brian Eno’s generative, ambient music blooms on this iPhone app. You can drop your finger on the liquefied pastel screen and make simple loops. Make music yourself, and then add your own transcendental graphics. Perfect for making your fingers dance. This is one of the few creative iPhone apps that let you get creative too.

Can your phone read you Shakespeare as you go to bed at night? With the right selection of iPhone apps available, it probably can. IPhone technology has really gotten off the hook, with possibilities ranging from music streaming to finding the best hotel prices to 16th century literature, all in the palm of your hand.

The fact is that the iPhone is capable of so much that even hard core techies will admit that not all of it is worth doing. Some iPhone apps aren’t worth the time to bother, while others dramatically improve your life. The following iPhone apps, however, are worth the rave.

Yelp – Get lost in the city with no idea where the good bars or restaurants are? Give your best Yelp and find what you need. This iPhone app locates the best bars, restaurants and banks that are closest to wherever you are. If you aren’t sure about the place, read thousands of reviews from other regular Joe users who don’t work for the New York Times. Also available is Urban Spoon which offers locations to local eateries.

NYTimes – Speaking of the New York Times, this iPhone app allows you to stream the voluminous sections of New York City’s biggest newspaper right from your phone. You can find stories by their section or just stream the most popular. Each article comes with full color photos, and the text is surprisingly easy to read on the screen. At this time, there are hardly any other iPhone apps that stream entire media publications, but expect more on the horizon.

Stanza- Stuck on the bus with no book? The Stanza allows you to read the classics, or anything you can find in their large library of public domain files. You can also add lengthy Word or PDF files from your computer, so you can effectively edit your term paper from your cell phone. This is one of those iPhone apps that’s has something for everyone, from college students to corporate lawyers. Don’t expect to find Heathcliff’s Latest Laughs in the public domain, however, if your reading tastes crave the microwaved White Castles of literature.

Jott – Does the iPhone’s digital keyboard cramp your mind? Jott can transfer any voice mail into a text to save you the trouble of typing. Ideal for text messaging, Jott keeps all that button pushing from driving you insane.

Stanley Brasen can’t stop raving about the capabilities of the iPhone and all the iPhone apps available.

If you’ve used the internet even a little, you will be aware of affiliate marketing – you know when you get an email persuading you go to a website and sign up for a free trial. Are these sites genuine. How can they give free iPhones away? It sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well, when you delve a little deeper you’ll see a business plan which does make sense, and which seems to be working. Let me explain.

What is affiliate marketing and how does it work?

Affiliate marketing is a clever way to get people to sign up to what you are offering. The most common form is google ads which appear as hyperlinks next to the google search that you just performed. When these links are clicked, a commission is paid to the person hosting the link either when someone clicks on the link, or when they buy something from the site. Typically this is small, but in the case of many sites, they can be substantially higher.

How can they afford to give away iPhones, PS3s and digital cameras?

Simple. if they persuade you to sign up to their site, and take out a promotional offer, and then persuade a number of people to do the same, then you are generating business for them. Sites like freebiejeebies and kudosnetwork (aimed at the UK, USA and Canada see below) structure their incentives this way. You sign up to the site, take out a promotional offer which is often free, and persuade a number of people to do the same. Once these have all been validated, you get your gift. But you only get credited when the people you have referred take out a promotion themselves. If you need 18 referrals and each of those 18 people need 18 referrals to get what they want, then the site has gained 324 customers. The next 18 from each of those 18 gives 5832 people, yet the site has only given away 19 iPhones. The numbers stack up very quickly, and as you can see, it makes perfect financial sense for them.

To buy advertising is not cheap. The advertisers know this, and look towards clever ways to get their product ‘out there’. With affiliate marketing the advertiser is paying the affiliate marketing site, who then passes on some of the money to you, who are actually bringing in the punters. Of course, it’s not free, but it only takes a little time and a little clever thinking.

What’s in it for the middleman, the website owner?

The website owner doesn’t have to do the hard work, as you’re doing it for them. And you only get paid by them once you reach your target referrals. Meanwhile your referrals are out there doing more work for them. It’s you who has to do the clever thinking about who would be likely to sign up to the scheme; you filter out people who you think it would be wasted on; you find clever ways of targeting those who might be in the market for a new iPhone; effectively you are doing their marketing work for them. The affiliate site sits as the middleman between the advertisers and the target audience, and takes his cut like everyone else.

But if everyone completed their referrals, wouldn’t the site lose money?

Theoretically if they gave away iPhones to everyone, then they might make a loss, but as is always the case, not everyone makes it to the number they need to get their free gift; only achieving a couple of referrals or none at all. They have contributed to the list of people signed up, yet have received nothing in return. It all balances out in the end. If it doesn’t, the number of referrals required per item goes up to reflect how savvy the customers are being, or how much revenue the site is receiving. In short they are not likely to lose out as long as the advertisers are happy, and as far as we can tell, they are.

What about the advertisers?

Possibly, if we were living in an ideal world, but people are people, and there’s a finely balanced pool out there who all behave differently. Do differently it’s almost predicable. Many will take out free trials and cancel them, many more will forget, and some will actually enjoy and use the service they signed up for. The companies who advertise get an opportunity to get you interested in their product, and if they win, they get a customer.

So, is affiliate marketing worth getting involved in?

Well, it’s up to you. If your time is worth big dollars, I would say, no. If however you have a bit time to spare and like to explore clever and challenging ways to generate referrals, then why not give it a go. You really haven’t got much to lose, have you?

For people that are tired of listening to the radio or constantly using cds, many choose to use their ipods in their cars. It can be a great way to listen to the music you want to. But if you want to do this, you need to find an ipod car adapter. There are a lot of different types and they can be used in different media docks, so you have to pay attention to what you are purchasing and read the boxes thoroughly.

Obviously, it is usually the best option to just purchase the adapter that has been designed for your car and media system. You can find information on these on a variety of sites and compare prices. You can also check out the electronics store and see what they have to offer, and get an idea of the brands and differences between them in a real time setting.

If it is not your car or you are planning on using the adapter for a lot of different stereo situations (such as a car or playing music through a stereo at a friend’s house), you should just consider getting the appropriate radio adapter for your ipod. These are usually a pretty reasonable price. The only downside to this is that if you are driving through towns where you don’t have good radio reception, your sound quality can suffer as a result.

Do you have a cassette tape player in your vehicle? Try a tape adapter instead. You can make use of the rewind and fast forward buttons for skipping songs in this case. This can be a useful option, which you wouldn’t have if you used the radio adapter. The other great part is that you will not have any sound issues like you would with a radio adapter.

For cars with CD players, you can consider using the RCA port that is located in the back of the stereo. This can take a little effort, however. You have to remove your stereo and then plug your ipod adapter in, one side in your ipod and the other two sides in the jacks that are in the stereo itself. You can usually get these type of adapters for pretty cheap.

Consider the first option of buying an adapter – you should make sure it will work correctly with the car model that you have. Usually the adapters will say if they are universal or if they only work for specific types of cars. The other thing you should consider is the uses of the adapter that you are purchasing.

It used to be that when you purchased an ipod car adapter, it was only to play music. These days, the adapter has evolved to even being able to charge your ipod while you are listening to your favorite tunes. These can cost a little more, but can be useful for anyone that wants a constant full charge or is concerned about their battery dying while they are on the road travelling. Before you purchase a new ipod car adapter, remember to look at all of your options. You should opt for something that will give you the best sound and the best results, for a reasonable price.

For diva’s that are bored listening to the radio or constantly using cds, many choose ipods in their automobiles. It can be a great way to listen to the music you want to. But you’ll need to find an ipod car adapter. The inside scoop to all ipod accessories .
