With the release of the latest 2.0 firmware software for the iPhone and iPod Touch came the ability for users to install third party applications without having to jailbreak it. Many people feared that this would destroy the market for free iPhone apps, and force people to pay for sub optimal third party applications. Fortunately iPhone developers had us frugal users in mind when they created their applications and there are many applications available for unjailbroken iPhone totally for free at the iTunes store.
Lets take a look at some of the best free apps that are available.
Pandora - Pandora is calls itself a music genome project, which based on your music tastes finds other songs it thinks you might enjoy and plays them for you. Before the iPhone Pandora had a problem that only allowed people to stream music which made it unusable unless you were tethered to your computer at all times. There was no way to play songs on your iPod or other MP3 player, only your computer. Thanks to the iPhone though it is now possible to have endless free, targeted streaming music of directly to your iPhone. This application is set to sky rocket Pandora to amazing new heights.
AIM - A mobile application for AOL Instant Messenger users. It works decently, occasionally having problems crashing when you try to connect but for the most part it works well. The problem is there is no way to use any other type of instant messaging applications, meaning it has a very limited breadth of use. The other issue is you cannot run it as a background program which means you have to have the program open constantly if you want to receive your messages.
Facebook - This is great for the type of people who need to check there Facebook page every two seconds for updates. It provides almost full functionality and it great for people that arenā?Tt always able to get to a computer and want to check Facebook on the run.
