Techcrunch posted about “The 30 Best iPhone Apps So Far This Year”. Personally I do not keep many iPhone Apps in my iPhone, if I found the Apps is not good and I’m sure I will delete immediately. Just wonder how many ‘so called’ Best iPhone Apps you have so far as posted below.

1. Angry Birds
Launch birds from a slingshot to topple buildings and crush piggies. There’s a reason this game has been No. 1 on the Paid List for so long. Addictive only starts to explain it.

2. Plants Vs Zombies
Protect your home from an invasion of zombies by placing plants that shoot, freeze, blow-up, crush, or generally obliterate your foes.

3. Fruit Ninja
Swipe to slice 3D fruit as it enters your screen. Great visuals and gratifying delivery.

4. Archetype
One of the best 3D arena shooters for the iPhone. Smooth multiplayer and easy handling. If you’re going to play a first-person shooter on the go, this is the one.

5. Rhythm Spirit
A rhythm-fighting game based on Japanese folklore. Very unique with top-notch production values. Can’t go wrong with ninjas, fighting, and music.

6. Ragdoll Blaster 2
Sequel to the fun and creative physics game. Blast ragdolls out of your canon to hit various targets. Tons of levels and really interesting puzzles.

7. Canabalt
The iPhone version of the popular flash game. Original escape game where you run away from impending doom, dodging obstacles and crashing through windows.

8. Chaos Rings
One of the few games priced above $10 that sold really well. A deep RPG with fantastic graphics from Square Enix.

9. The Horrible Vikings
A trajectory game steeped in style. Launch your vikings to hit enemies and items alike. A full upgrade system and use of power-ups adds nice depth.

10. Trenches
Fun side-scrolling strategy game where you employ the use of soldiers, machine guns, rifles and bombs to destroy your enemy.

11. God Finger
Keep your followers healthy and working. Create buildings, farms, and taverns for your peasants to enjoy. Control the weather and become the dictator of your own little world.

12. Parachute Ninja
Fling your ninja ball through the air in this interesting platformer. Reach higher and higher platforms, while avoiding obstacles and enemies.

13. Pocket Legends
This MMORPG deserves attention for an ambitious endeavor. Choose a class and work on leveling up, meeting strangers, and battling enemies.

14. Monkey Island 2
Sequel to one of the best adventure games ever released. More humor, puzzles, and story that we’ve come to expect from this classic series.

15. Zenonia 2
Followup to the hit action RPG Zenonia. With more playable classes, abilities, items, story and artwork, this is a must-have for RPG fans.

16. Foursquare
The quintessential geo-social app, Foursquare allows users to ‘Check in’ to locations to earn points and broadcast their location. Get more Check-Ins than anyone and you become the mayor.

17. Groupon
Groupon is a service that offers an extremely marked down deal every day. From restaurants to spas, users have been excited about Groupon since it came out. All the same convenience on your iPhone.

18. iMovie
It made sense for Apple to bring their casual video editing software over to the iPhone when the 4 launched with hi-def recording. Very solid tool for on-the-go editing.

19. Siri Assistant
Your own personal assistant. Ask it for directions. Reminders. General information. Nearly anything. Fun and useful for anyone on the go.

20. Twitter
The official Twitter has become the best out of them all. Contains all the features you need.

21. Wolfram
After dropping dramatically from the $50 price tag, Wolfram has become a fantastic knowledge searching tool based on Wolfram Alpha.

22. iBooks
I know, I know. This is a given. Provided with iOS 4.0, iBooks is the defacto book reader. Even so, it’s worth a mention for how elegant and easy it is to use compared to other readers.

23. Hulu Plus
This is something we have been waiting for a while. The downside is that it only offers content for the paid service—not for free as it is on the web. But, if you can pony up the monthly fee, this is a great app.

24. Gowalla
Similar to Foursquare, Gowalla allows users to ‘check in’ to a location to earn stamps. Based on GPS, it’s very addictive earning stamps and a great companion while you are out and about.

25. Dragon Dictation
Finally, an accurate way to dictate voice to text on the iPhone. Speak naturally to send a text message, email, or anything else that can receive inputted text.

26. Free App A Day
FAAD is an interesting service that works with developers to offer up their paid apps for free for a short time period. If you follow the iPhone app, you can snatch up some big name apps, gratis.

27. JotNot Scanner Pro
Make your iPhone into a multi-page scanner. Has a great image enhancing ability and makes saving and sending scans pretty effortless.

28. Text’nDrive
For those of us with a habit of checking (or even worse, responding to) email while we drive, this app provides a hands-free solution where new messages are read to you and you can respond by voice.

29. Geodelic
An elegant “Around Me” style app showing everything that is near your location. Fun way to discover things you didn’t know existed.

30. Digg
Digg finally made an official app and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Users can look forward to all the same functionality as the native site, as well as easy saving and sharing.

iWorry – Worry Journal for the iPhone.

Released: Jul 30, 2010 Version:1.0
Size 0.7 MB
Language:English

Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later.

• Keep a worry list – Write your worries down the moment they occur. This serves to get rid of them from your mind so you can use your time to get something else done.
• Schedule worry time – Only at the appointed time that you think through your worries. At other time, you can say to yourself “This is a non-productive worry. Let me write this down on my worry list for worry time. Right now I will use my time to get something else done.”
• Have a worry place – At the scheduled time, go to a place where you can be alone (but accessible).
• Think and decide – At the worry place, for each of the worries in your list, think through it and then either delete it from the list if it’s no longer relevant or note down your decision, action, solution, or other remarks.

iWorry has a few advantages over the page-based notepad:

• It runs on your iPhone and/or iPod touch which you carry with you almost all the time (if not all the time). That makes it convenient for you to write down your worries the moment they occur.
• You can categorize each worry with a tag and later on filter your list of worries by a tag. This is useful during worry time when you want to focus on those worries related to a particular area.
• You can’t see your list of worries when the worry time is not reached yet. This discipline yourself to review your worries only during your appointed time.
• When you think through each worry in your list, you can write down your decision, action, solution, or other remarks; delete it from the list if it’s no longer relevant; or keep it in the list for future review.
• Worries that have been reviewed are kept in a separate area for future reference. They will not interfere with your current list of worries.
• Stores unlimited number of worries in both Worry List and Logbook.
• You can password protect iWorry to prevent undesired access to your private information.

Thanks to some of Engadget’s readers, they have been testing iPhone OS 3 beta 4 and the first thing that they wanted to try out was the previously empty “Store” settings pane. In this new version of the OS, it is now populated, but do not get too excited as is pretty boring. All you can do is sign in and out of iTunes. That is about it on the iPhone OS 3.0 beta 4 side of things, keep checking back.

Note: Please do not upgrade to iPhone OS 3 if you’re jailbreak or unlock Apple iPhone.

In fact, this is not the first web video app for the Apple iPhone. CBS’s TV.com app is on the market, as are Joost, i.TV and several others. Hulu’s tech and design teams have demonstrated themselves as the best in the Web video industry, as everyone is now trying to emulate them. One hurdle, we assume: Because of Hulu’s streaming architecture, it might not be possible to download videos to watch later, such as on the subway or an airplane.
