My favorite iPhone apps in 2009

After over a year of using iPhone apps (and almost a year of using an iPhone 3G). Here is a list of my top iPhone applications that I will continue to use in 2010:

1Password Pro: password manager and data vault. Syncs with the Mac version of 1Password.

Byline: a Google reader client, supports caching as well.

BeejiveIM: an excellent instant messanging client.

Things: great task manager and syncs with Things Mac desktop client.

Twittelator Pro: my favorite Twitter app. For push notifications just install Boxcar.

Simplenote: notepad application with online sync and many features.

Blizzard Battle.net Mobile Authenticator and World of Warcraft Mobile Armory: for the World of Warcraft player. Use the authenticator to add a level of protection to your Battle.net account.

Evernote: another note syncing app/service. Only recently they added offline note viewing.

Amazon Mobile (US store): if you ever buy from Amazon then make sure to install this app. Makes the process of shopping at Amazon easier.

WeatherBug: checking the weather, more detailed than others.

EVE Online Capsuleer: for EVE Online players.

AppBox Pro: includes unit and currency converter.

WordPress: manage your WordPress blogs.

TrackThis: tracking packages with support for push notifications.

Gowalla: add your favorite location on the map, excellent social networking app.

LittleSnapper (Mac client here): takes screenshots and photos, a picture sharing tool/service. LittleSnapper for the iPhone has been acquired by a new company and will be released under the name Cinder.

Sekai Camera: Augmented reality app, their how-to page should explain it well.

Shazam: finds music by listening, just let it record a part of a song and it will find it.

Prowl: send Growl notifications to your iPhone via push notifications.

Dictionary: because you will need a dictionary app when there’s no Internet connection.

BargainBin: help you find discounts in the App Store.

Pastebot: clipboard manager that can sync with the Mac. Paste and edit text as well as images. Make sure to download the Mac client.

Flickit: Flickr upload tool. Flick Pro have more options and is better than Yahoo’s Flickr client.

Nice Trace: trace route network tool.

Skype for the iPhone.

Moodagent: Generates playlists based on mood sliders that you can set.

Coffee fans should get the Barista and Starbucks apps while Tea fans should get Aromatic and Teavana apps.

Facebook app: a better Facebook interface than the Facebook website.
