Top 10 Applications for the iPhone from 2008 - Page 2

Part of: iWant, iNeed, iRecommend

6) Facebook
Not much to say about the free Facebook application. Basically, it does exactly what it should, it creates a full version of Facebook (minus the FB apps) on the iPhone. Sure, you could go to the actual Web site, but this looks and works so much better. The only thing really missing is the phonebook part of the real Facebook Web site. If that was to be included then this would be a perfect addition for any iPhone. While it might not seem like it should be on the list, the ease of use and popularity of the application makes it superior to many others.


5) Touch Physics

This is, quite frankly, my favorite game on the iPhone. Touch Physics is a game where you simply try to get a ball into a star. Seem simple? It really isn’t (as I have played probably about 36 total hours and am still playing). By making tough levels, requiring bouncing over objects, and even having an (might be more than one, stuck on it) invisible level, this "simple" game is addictive, fun, and tough. Plus, it allows you to change the constants as you so wish. It's temporarily on sale for $.99 from the iTunes Application Store.

4) Lux Touch
Risk, on the iPhone. Simply put, that is all Lux Touch is. It is a port of their popular desktop version of the game for the iPhone. Featuring full touch control, easy gameplay, and decent sounds, this application is a great time waster. While the AI is easy (the deluxe version fixes that) and the graphics are not that great, this application allows you to waste away 10 minutes at a time with the games. Plus, frankly, Risk is always fun. Get it free from the iTunes Application Store.

3) Sports Tap
Want to follow play-by-play as the Buckeyes beat the Longhorns on Jan. 5th? Interested in checking the golf scores or the basketball rankings? Well, Sports Tap is the perfect application for anybody who cares about any sport. From MLB to MLS to European Football Leagues to the Olympics, this app puts all sports information at your fingertips, and it's free from the iTunes App Store.
