Chipotle iPhone App

For this week I’m going to try and blog about 5 apps that change the way you order items with the iPhone. Any app that makes it seem novel to use the iPhone to order them. Wether that be food, drinks, clothing, etc… I will try and highlight what they offer through the iPhone and what is unique about each. So let’s get started!

Payments On The iPhone With Square

I must be on the kick of talking about money apps because here comes another one from my genius brain. There has been a lot of hype built up around this company called Square who had developed a system to take credit card payments via the iPhone and iPad. I’m sure ,if they aren’t already, they’ll be making their way to all Droid devices too. Before you go on check out this video about Square.

So now that you’ve seen just how they want you to use it, let’s take a quick little walk through so you can see what the app looks like.

Paypal’s iPhone App

I assume since you are on a computer and surfing a site about the iPhone that you are technologically smart. That means we all know about Paypal and what Paypal does. Just incase you aren’t aware Paypal is the best way (IMHO) to send money online. This means paying rent, paying for items on Ebay (Since Ebay owns the company). As well as many other sites like this one. You can also receive money among other things too. Heck they even offer business accounts and their very own credit card company. So what does that mean for the iPhone, you guessed it. They have their own Paypal app for it!

Is Foursquare Safe?

We’re at a strange crossroads in our always on social lives here. Smart phones are making our lives ever so much better, but could they also cause harm to our personal lives with how much we share? I used Foursquare as the poster child for this post but I’ll be naming more than just Foursquare as culprits.

Sleep Cycle Alarm App

This may be old new for some of you, but as of recently this is the coolest thing that I’ve stumbled on for the iPhone. The app is called Sleep Cycle and it’s quite a bit more than your traditional alarm clock app. The app will sense your motion and then try to wake you up with soothing sounds when you are in your lightest stage of sleep. This is such a genius idea and a very cool use of the accelerometer in the iPhone. There are other apps apparently that also try to replicate the same idea, but this one is only 0.99 cents so of course I’m trying this one first. On the last row, the only icon there, is what their icon looks like. Am I happy about it…. nope. They could definitely use a new icon!

AppShopper Review

This is definitely going to be a cool thing to use in the future. The website AppShopper.com has just released their very own iPhone app. A great move on their part, I’m definitely a fan. If you’ve never used AppShopper before their site will help you find apps that have been updated, price changed, etc… It’s a great community to find new apps, it’s also a great place for smaller developers to get some exposure. Just be sure to check out the site to see for yourself what I’m talking about.

Apple Store App

Hey everyone surfing out there in iPhone land. How about that iPhone 4? We’ll talk more about that later. First let’s mention the online Apple store. Apple finally got around to making an app for the iPhone where you can shop for all Apple products online. All is well in the app, it’s easy to use and is your staple online store app. Has all their products, categories, cart, store finder, etc… I always wonder if anyone out there will be ordering more Apple products from their iDevices more so than they would just walking into the stores, but I guess Apple saw a need for this app so let’s check it out.

Move Nuts With The iPhone

Finally, the day has come! There’s a funny, novelty iPhone app that has their sights set after our heart. Not that the app is called iPhone nuts or anything, if someone still wants to make one with our namesake The app does combine the iPhone and nuts though. The app is called Magic Mover and apparently can do just that.

It can move random objects with your iPhone. I don’t know if you remember ever seeing this app but these guys are the same people who created an app that can move objects by blowing air. This one essentially does the same thing but with vibration. Check out their site if you want to see their other pretty funny apps.

iWork On My iPhone?

We all don’t have iPads, although all of us wish we did. The iPad is lucky enough to have a whole suite of office apps called iWork from Apple waiting for you in the app store. So what are we to do when it comes to typing a long email, or even yet creating a spreadsheet or document? Perhaps this solution exist out there in the jailbreak world, but I would love to have iWork available on my iPhone. Maybe Microsoft Office, but I’ve always found iWork to be a lot cleaner and easier to use. We’ve all seen iWork on the iPad, and even though the iPhone doesn’t have quite as big of a screen I think it could work. Here’s how…

Metronome Faceoff

The metronome has been on my mind quite a bit lately. I’ve been in the studio recording with John Tibbs, and we’ve noticed how inexperienced we are with the metronome. Although I have practiced quite a bit to a metronome our tracks still aren’t perfect and it’s only a little annoying that I can’t play the drums like a machine. All through high school I practiced my rudiments, fills, and beats to a click. I’ve obviously been a little out of regular practice thanks to college consuming most of my time, which is ANNOYING. None the less, when it comes to the iPhone you can easily find a good metronome. I’ve actually found two that I am going to put up head to head today and see what you guys and gals think about each.
