Verizon iPhone and its Application


You will need apps for your new Verizon Apple iPhone and there are hundreds of thousands to choose from; around 300,000 at a guess with more coming to the market daily. Verizon are keen to market their own VCast Rhapsody app for music and charge you for it, but of course there are other ways to listen to music of your choice via your iPhone.
Some of the most popular apps are, of course, Netflix and the Angry Birds game, but when you are tired of these you may want to download Dropbox.
This is great as you can access all the files you have on your computer wherever you are. Set up an account and download the box onto your computer, then get this app for the iPhone and you will be able to save files from your PC and iPhone to Dropbox's server. You can then access files from both devices freeing up space on your hard drive and enabling you to send files to your iPhone, for example MP3s photos and PDFs. It's free so there are no hidden costs and you can work from anywhere.
Google Mobile App is probably the easiest way to search the mobile web. If you are not in a position to type what you are looking for in the search box, you can just speak what you require into the iPhone's microphone and Google will do its best to decipher what you want and track it down for you. If you switch to Google Goggles and aim your camera at an object or scene you'd like to identify, then it will try to identify what it is you are looking at. In this way you can also get it to scan product bar codes or even solve a difficult Sudoku puzzle for you.
The Dictionary app is useful if you don't want to carry a hard backed volume around with you. This app is as good if not better than a dictionary and very useful at finding the meaning of unfamiliar words quickly.
The Facebook app allows you to upload photos and browse as well as lets you alert your friends as to your whereabouts so that you can meet up if you want to. It's free of course and if you feel lonely as you travel around it lets you stay in close contact with others in your social network.
If you are one of those people who hears a song and then wonders who the artist is, then the Shazam app is for you. It "hears" a snippet of a song or piece of music and then identifies the song and singer in seconds. You'll never need to ask your long-suffering friends "who's singing this?" again.
Another app that might be useful is the Google Translate app which can translate, after a fashion, 50 languages into English. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.
There are apps for everyone, either free or cheap, so shop around to get the ones that are right for you.

Thanks
