Do you Tweet because you have an iPhone or do you get an iPhone because you want to Tweet? Between Twitterific and Tweetie, it is hard to say which is better, but if you Tweet at all, you’ll need either of them. Now you can inundate your friends with incessant updates on what you’re doing.

4. iPeriod

Gone are the days where you marked a mysterious “X” on the calendar every month. Strictly for women only, this app helps you record when it’s that time of the month. All you do is tap on the start date of your period and it marks out your cycle in pink (choose a standard cycle or customise it). It will calculate your next expected period, ovulation and fertility dates. Set an alert so you will never be caught without a tampon or pad in your bag. For those with painful periods or unusual symptoms, you can record your moods, spotting, and cramp severity levels – which will come in handy, should you ever need to see a doctor about it.

Once your due date is entered, the app will keep track of the gestational age of the baby, and countdown to the remaining days to delivery. Handy information about the baby’s growth each week and a name picker keeps your mind busy as your nesting tendencies grow.

    I found this article really interesting in that it does give the readers some ideas the kinds of applications that are available and what is expected of these applications. It is enlightening and is full of resourceful ideas.
    I love my iphone because it enhances my skills in the use of technology. When I am on the move, I can tweet, post on my blogs and facebook and everything else that I normally do on my laptop. All these are made possible because this smart phone has so many applications available for us to use.

    how about the price ??

  5. I bought an iPhone around a year ago and I must say that the apps have changed the way I do my online banking, book flights and chat to friends. Almost everything can be done online now and with increasing wi-fi connectivity in cafes, transport and other public spaces, I can get things done while on the move. The TomTom online iphone app listed on http://www.dozeniphone.com has revolutionized my driving experience. I feel that the Tom Tom GPS is one of the best on the market.

    Yes I agree! The iPad isn’t a phone but it’s also a revolutionary product that makes reading, watching clips and surfing quite an extraordinary experience! Watch this space for a review soon!
