Best of the iPhone Applications - I

Reviews July 9th, 2007

Here is Mashables Favorite iPhone Applications:

Telekinesis
- Access your Mac remotely through apps on your iPhone. Stream music
and videos from your Mac, browse your files and control iTunes
remotely. Currently available for alpha testing.

Telemoose - This one is actually useful: browse and shop Amazon.com from your iPhone. See Mashable’s fuller review of Telemoose from earlier today.

GasApp
- Another really useful one: find the cheapest gas prices in your area
by entering your zipcode. Features Google Maps integration for driving
directions, and a diesel version is available.

MoviesApp
- Enter your zipcode and a date/time to find movies in your area. Also
play the trailers (from Apple.com) and buy tickets (through IMDB).

iEventful - Find events in your area thanks to this iPhone interface built on the Eventful API.

iBrick - Three words: Tetris for iPhone.

Newsmatch
(warning:resizes browser if you’re not using the iPhone to access) - A
news quiz by Laszlo Systems: match the photo to the news item to read a
news article. Great design, but it’s a catch-22: you need to know what
the news story is about before you can read the article.

Applists
- Explore new iPhone apps…on your iPhone. How very meta. You can also
rate, share and submit apps, although there aren’t that many listed
right now.
