So there is a website out there called ShareAppScreen it installs a widget on your mac and syncs your apps with your iTunes account. It’s a cool concept, so have a look at my screen here.

I have been on a short vacation in the mountains of Colorado, and I will be back to a regular routine this week.
During the time I had the 1st generation iPhone, I decided to jailbreak it, and came across the TuneWiki app, I liked it, then I had a problem with my phone and had to restore it thus no more TuneWiki. You may be asking what is TuneWiki, well, it’s a full featured music-related app that displays the lyrics of the current song that’s playing. That’s not the best part. When it displays the lyrics, it follows along with the song.
TuneWiki also has a bunch of other features such as music videos, streaming radio via Shoutcast, real-time top 50 charts, interactive music maps and more. It should be said that TuneWiki is free, and it’s another one of those apps that should be on every iPhone because it offers something more for your music.
Get TuneWiki now in the iTunes App Store: 
I also should let you know that according to TUAW:
It should be noted that TuneWiki has a direct licensing deal with Universal EMI, Sony, and about 16,000 publishers in 1800 groups including Warner (via the Harry Fox Agency) as well as deals in Greece, Israel, Spain, Germany, Turkey, and so forth. Every attempt has been made to license this lyric use world wide. Amnon Sarig, TuneWiki founder, told TUAW that he’s worked hard on securing these world wide licensing agreements to ensure that TuneWiki has rights to display lyrics wherever it is used. "No one else has worldwide exploitation rights," he told us. "I’ve been in the licensing business for 11 years and as far as I know, the only other application on App store that exploits lyrics legally has their licenses limited to the United States."
The iTunes App Store now has 56,081 different apps available, but how do you find the right one, the search in iTunes is good, but if you type something in, you usually get too many choices that really don’t contain what you want, there are a few sites out there that might help:
- Appshopper.com is a great site for finding out what’s new, free or updated, as well as price changes. The newest feature is that if you create an account you can check if you own the app or want the app, and it will notify you via email if the app is updated, I currently use this site via RSS.
- 148apps.com lists what’s new and free, but they also release their favorite 148 apps, and have other lists as well.
- Freeappalert.com updates daily with a list of apps that have gone from paid to free, I haven’t used this one yet, but I will start using it right away.
- Macworld’s App Guide is very well organized and is the most functional site out there, it’s search is great, and it also notes price changes and groups popular apps.
- Iviewer.com is a reader submitted site that looks for undiscovered apps from readers, it’s pretty basic.
This is just a basic list, and if you have a site or tip you like better feel free to let me know in the comments.

I have been a fan of the G-Maps app for awhile now because they have been the only true app to serve turn by turn directions before the 3.0 software update. They just updated their app and now it’s true voice turn by turn, and I just took it for a test drive on my new 3GS and it’s faster than ever. I went off route and it found the way in no time, with the voice lady telling me when to turn, the only setback is that it doesn’t announce street names, but if you have your iPhone mounted like I do, you can glance at the upcoming street, but it tells you when to turn well before you have to turn.
It’s a little pricey and they have two flavors because it’s so big, east and west, so make sure you get the one for your area.

I wasn’t impressed with the battery life on my iPhone 3G, but the 3GS is a lot better. Planning on going on a little trip this year, I decided to start looking at battery packs for the iPhone. I decided upon the Mophie Juice Pack Air (Amazon Link). This product is great. It doubles the life of my iPhone battery, and it’s smart about it. It has an on/off switch, so you can turn it off, but the thing I like the most is that when it’s on, it will drain the juice pack air first, and then the iPhone battery. It comes with it’s own cable, so when you plug it into the computer it will charge the juice pack or iPhone, and you are also able to sync, it will also charge if you plug it into the power adaptor that came with the iPhone. I got the white version because I have a white iPhone, but they have black and purple available as well.
It retails for $79.95, and it’s worth the price.
Buy the Mophie Juice Pack Air from Amazon
