iPhone Apps You Need to Have

Real software development for the iPhone may slacken, but iPhone apps keep it tight. Consider that there are 50,000 new iPhone apps born every month. You really can\’t keep up on them all. Some reinvent your everyday world. Others are cheap rip offs barely worthy of their iPhone name. Here are a few iPhone apps that are worth raving about.

Fring – Get this app and never need another instant messaging tool again. Fring includes Google Talk, Yahoo Skype, MSN, Twitter, ICQ, plus VoIP calls over Wi-Fi if your minutes run low as you spend an afternoon lost in a bar or coffee shop.
