A Tour of My iPhone 3GS: Exploring the Best Apps

As I sit here with my trusty iPhone 3GS, I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to showcase some of my favorite apps. As we all know, the iPhone is going to be released in just a few days, and I'm sure everyone will be eager to start exploring the world of mobile applications. So, without further ado, let's take a closer look at some of the apps that make my iPhone 3GS so unique.

First up, we have AT&T's Navigator. This is a turn-by-turn navigation service that costs only a couple of bucks a month, and it's an absolute game-changer. The app provides you with detailed maps, real-time traffic updates, and even voice guidance to help you navigate through unfamiliar territories. It's a subscription-based service, but trust me, it's well worth the investment.

Next, we have Twitterific, my go-to Twitter client. This app allows me to manage all my tweets with ease, and it's also incredibly customizable. I can switch between different themes, change the layout, and even add custom icons – the possibilities are endless! Whether you're a casual Twitter user or an avid user like myself, Twitterific is definitely worth checking out.

Another app that deserves mention is Doom Resurrection. This is a classic first-person shooter game that's sure to test your skills and provide hours of entertainment. With its sleek graphics and intense gameplay, it's an absolute must-have for any serious gamer. And the best part? It's completely free!

Of course, no iPhone would be complete without some useful productivity apps. One such app is Urban Spoon, which allows you to discover new restaurants and cafes in your area. This app features user reviews, menus, and even photos of each restaurant – making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to try something new.

Speaking of useful resources, I'd like to introduce you to Zillow.com. As someone who's been in the market for a house, I found this app incredibly helpful. It allows me to browse listings, check prices, and even compare different properties side-by-side. Whether you're a serious buyer or just looking for inspiration, Zillow.com is an absolute must-have.

In addition to productivity apps, I also have a few fun ones on my iPhone 3GS. One such app is Snood, which is an awesome game that I used to play all the time in college. The goal of the game is to navigate through levels and avoid obstacles – it's incredibly addictive, but also super challenging.

Another app that deserves mention is Dropbox, a cloud storage service that allows you to store and access your files from anywhere. This app is perfect for anyone who needs to collaborate with others or work remotely. And at just $99 per year, it's an affordable option for even the most basic users.

As we continue our tour of my iPhone 3GS, I'd like to introduce you to some more games and apps that make this device truly special. One such app is Monopoly, which features stunning graphics and addictive gameplay. Another is IQ, a game that tests your problem-solving skills and provides a fun challenge for users of all ages.

Moving on from games, I have a few useful productivity tools on my iPhone 3GS. One such app is Apple's iBooks, which allows you to browse and download e-books with ease. With its sleek interface and vast library of titles, it's an absolute must-have for any bookworm.

Of course, no iPhone would be complete without some social media apps. I'd like to introduce you to Justin.tv, a platform that allows you to watch live streams from around the world. From concerts to sports events, there's something for everyone on this app – and it's free!

As we near the end of our tour, I have a few more apps worth mentioning. One such app is Fat Booth, which takes your picture and makes you look... well, let's just say, "fat." It's an hilarious game that's perfect for anyone who wants to poke fun at themselves or their friends.

Another app that deserves mention is Touch Mouse, a trackpad alternative that allows you to navigate through your iPhone with ease. This app is surprisingly useful, and I've found it to be a game-changer when it comes to typing and navigation.

Finally, I'd like to introduce you to my favorite app of all – Game Center. This social platform allows you to connect with other gamers, join clubs, and compete in tournaments. With its sleek interface and vast library of games, it's an absolute must-have for any serious gamer.

As we conclude our tour of my iPhone 3GS, I'm left wondering what apps everyone else has on their device. Are there any hidden gems that I've missed? Do you have a favorite app that makes your iPhone truly special? Let me know in the comments below!
