A great poet once wrote, “An iPhone with no apps is like an emperor with no clothes.” Oh wait, that was me. But either way, it holds true, and there are always new developers with great new ideas that can make your iPhone the best it can be. So stop worrying about which way to hold your iPhone and check out these impressive new options.

Cartoon Roach is a great game for whenever you’re stuck on a train (or in a meeting). The only goal is to smash the bad roaches while avoiding the good ones. Ninja Roaches and Spartan Roaches, among other varieties, mix up the fun. For only a 1.99, it’s a tough one to pass up.
Pulse News Mini Review is a unique RSS feed that includes pictures and summaries along with text. This makes it easy to quickly find what you’re looking for, and also makes interesting articles stand out. Set-up is easy and lets you either add news sources or search for certain types of articles. On the iPhone 4, it runs like a charm.
Nubi Do promises a lot with its 6.99 price, but somehow manages to deliver. This task manager combines all the features that are usually left out, including calendar viewing, prioritizing lists, and syncing with Google doc spreadsheets. If you’re a fast-paced liver that benefits from organization, Nubi Do is a powerful tool to have on your side.
Pro Zombie Soccer is the latest entry in the undead (and undying) genre of zombie games, but the game-play actually delivers as you get the chance to launch soccer balls at the heads of zombie marauders. Like Cartoon Roach, PZS doesn’t amaze with story or deep thoughts, but for a time-waster that’ll keep you continuously entertained, it passes with flying colors.

One of the best parts of owning an Apple iPhone is the ability to download massive amounts of fun and useful apps. It’s hard to determine which apps are ‘best’ because of the many different categories in which apps are available in. Someone who likes to keep up with sports probably has a different idea of the best apps than someone who lives to shop. While there are thousands of specialized apps for any personality, there are some apps that are unanimously awesome.Among the most popular basic apps is Slacker radio. This free music streaming service has nearly four times more music in its library than other music-streaming apps. You can choose to customize your own station or listen to one of hundreds of pre-programmed genre stations. Another must have app is Yelp. This food friendly app uses the iPhone’s GPS capabilities to connect you to user reviews of restaurants, bars, and other businesses. The coolest partyou can point your iPhone’s camera in any direction and the Monocle feature provides you with a street view vision of nearby eateries and establishments. Before you spend all your money at Yelp approved restaurants, you can use Mint, a money budgeting app, to manage all your financial accounts. Mint will warn you if you’re close to over drafting or alert you of any suspicious activity. Lastly, the Photoshop.com Mobile App lets you crop, touch up, edit, and apply special effects to the photos you take on the iPhone then save the edited versions directly to your phone.While the app store may be filled with thousands (200,000 to be exact) of apps to make life more interesting, the aforementioned apps are sure to come in handy no matter what lifestyle you lead. For a full listing of available apps, check out the Apple app store on iTunes or access it directly from your iPhone.
