Since the iPhone was originally introduced in January of 2007, there has been an undeniable explosion in the number of apps that are available for it. At the beginning of August, 2010, there were over 200,000 applications on hand in the app store.
Maybe before too long, Apple will introduce the iPhone X-1000-something, it will have 50 terabytes of storage space, and it’ll just come pre-loaded with all 200,000 apps. In the meantime, though, we’re stuck with the (ho-hum) limitation of a mere 16 gigabytes of storage space, so we have to be a bit choosier about the stuff we load on onto our iPhones.
So which apps are the best ones to get?
Well, there’s no shortage of online opinion pieces to help you with that. For purposes of this little discussion, though, we’ll focus on a few developers that have brought mini-collections of apps (let’s call them series) to the store for your consideration:
• The iParrot language translation series provides easy-to-use tools that divide key phrases into categories, such as getting help, shopping, transportation, greetings and more. Most major worldwide languages are included, and they are grouped into two-language mini-apps that translate back and forth from German to English, for example. iParrot is available via apple.com downloads.
• Kogan Page, a bestselling publisher of business-related books and guides, has made their Creating Success series available via a free iPhone app. The series has sold over one million copies in print, and there is valuable information included within it for a variety of business and industry subjects.
If you’re stuck lamenting which apps to get for your iPhone, consider trying an app series like the ones above. You may well discover that you can get what you need in one tidy icon, instead of cluttering your home screen with individual apps to accomplish the same task.
