From mobile games to web development tools, tourist guides to managing finances, there are iPhone apps for nearly every job, hobby, and need. That diversity of applications has helped drive the iPhone to new heights of popularity since the introduction of the App Store in July 2008.
This list of coverage of iPhone apps at About.com will help you use your iPhone in almost every aspect of your life. But, before we get there, a little background about iPhone apps is in order.
IPhone apps are small programs available through Apple's App Store that can be downloaded and installed on the iPhone. To run, iPhone apps require:
Some apps are free, others cost money (most run in the US$0.99-$2.99 range; a smaller number run in the $3.99-$9.99 range, with few costing more than $10).
In most ways, the experience of buying and installing iPhone applications is virtually identical to as buying music from iTunes and putting it on your phone. So, if you've done that, you'll be able to get apps.
Like buying music, it can be done both on your computer through iTunes or over the air via the included App Store program pre-loaded on iPhones. Also like buying music, there's no limit to the number of iPhones you can install apps on.
Other basics, like removing apps or finding out how much disk space they use, are simple, too.
Now that you know the basics of getting and installing iPhone apps, it's time to start shopping. Here's a round up of the best iPhone app coverage from across About.com for every aspect of your life.
