10 Interesting iPhone Apps
The World of Apps
Not long ago, cell phones were intended for the basics, making and taking calls. Then camera phones and voice-recognition came along. But today, thanks to the iPhone and the revolutionary App Store, tech-savvy customers are using their smart phones for assistance and fast results in all corners of their everyday life, from getting the traffic report to avoiding speed traps, going on speedy coffee runs and even speed dating.
With over 40 million iPhone and iPod Touch customers downloading a collective 1.5 billion Apps in just one year, developers -- hoping to cash in -- are expanding the Apps pool at a brisk pace. There are now more than 65,000 apps, created by over 100,000 developers, according to Apple.
As a result, consumers can lean on their iPhone for everything from quitting smoking to having a sixth sense for the nearest stash of medical marijuana. In fact, it's up to consumers to decide how intimate they want to be with their iPhone; it can share movie times with them, or it can let them know the best time to take a bathroom break when they're watching that movie. And yes, it'll even fill them in on what they missed upon their return. With no shortage of competition, here are 10 of the most interesting iPhone apps.(AP Photo/Paul Sakuma)
