My Top Daily Useful Apps for iPhone

My iPhone is getting better and better everyday, thanks to developers who are delivering such a nice Apps, Here is most used Apps on my iPhone:

QuickGold:

If you ever used Mac, then you will be quite familiar with QuickSilver. Just type few letters and this App instantly find Application, Browser Bookmarks, SMS, Emails and Contacts. You don't need to shuffle screen on iphone and look for your Application. It has very small footprint and it does not run in background that is it does not consume Battery.

SBSettings:

One of my favourite App, Just swipe your finger on Top status bar and your Toggles Pops up on your screen, where you can turn ON/OFF ssh, 3g, bluetooth, WiFi etc. You can also adjust brightness. I have also downloaded AutoLock and Process Plugin for Sbsettings, which allows you kill background processes if running.

ICY:

A Fast and new replacement for Cydia. Although some bugs but it updates quite frequently.

iPhone Files (AppStore) and iFile (Cydia) Complete File Browser and Viewer

I have tested various viewers for iphone including Air Sharing, Mobile Studio, Riddle Documents, Picture Safe etc.

I found the best Viewer and File Browser is "Files" which is available at App Store. You can Swap pictures as in built in Photos Application for iphone, create your own folders to arrange your documents and picture and can easily transfer file from your PC or Mac. You can even set password.

The Cydia app iFile is replacement for Finder or Windows Explorer on your iPhone. You can copy/move files to anywhere. You can set owner permission. iFile also allow you to transfer files through its Web Server also. With iFile you can create new Folders or Symbolic link. I have created a Symbolic link in Documents folder to my Files Documents, so that now I can easily copy files to Files Application or vice versa using iFile.

Best part is iFiles also allow you to send multiple email attachments using built in iPhone mail client and it is FREEEEEE.

iFile is exceptional Browser will all abilites which Files is best viewer, although iFile also allows you to view documents or play videos but Files Picture swap feature is hard to beat.

iFile also allows to create Zip archive. I now use iFile instead of MobileFinder. iFile also allow you to copy marked files or folders.

Google Maps now have detail Pakistan Maps

Google Maps application on Mobile (Symbian and iPhone) now have detailed Pakistan Maps. They show all major buildings, Petrol Pumps, Hospitals etc. I was surprised to see that Maps are in quite detail. I can not find any of these maps in Pakistan. How Google has managed to do this?

Sadly they are not available in PC version of Google Maps nor they are in detail in Google Earth. All major cities are covered.

You can download google maps application for Symbian phone free of cost from google site. iPhone comes with built in maps application.



Naveed Posted in Comments:They launched a program called Mapmaker (http://www.google.com/mapmaker), kudos to desi geeks who put their efforts to pinpoint buildings, roads, restaurants and pan walas on the map.
The active contributors were then chosen to be moderators who would approve every location.
