Holiday Gift Guide 2008: Best Apple iPhone, iPod touch apps
Just about everyone seems to have either an iPhone or iPod touch these days and the companion App Store is chock full of over 5,000 great gift ideas. From powerful databases to file storage to music, this list has something for you. Can’t decide? Give your special someone an iTunes gift certificate, they’re great for apps and music.
Don’t forget to check out my lists of Mac-related Bargain Apples (gift ideas under $100) and Mid-Range Apples (gift items from US$100-$300).
Just because gas is down to around US$2 per gallon doesn’t mean that you can go back to your old habits. I still like to track my fuel economy and keep on top of my vehicle maintenance.
Gas Cubby (iTunes, US$5) is the ultimate tool for tracking gas mileage and vehicle maintenance. It’s well designed, full featured, and is incredibly stable. I particularly like the graphs which are visible when turning the screen.
Gas Cubby has been in the App Store for over a week now and has been getting tremendous user feedback with 28 reviews, it’s holding strong at a 4.5-star average.
Their last app, Trip Cubby (iTunes, US$10), was featured for its design by Apple in the iPhone Tech Talks.
Price: $5 (Gas Cubby) $10 (Trip Cubby)
