New iPhone Apps worth Checking Out

Loads of iPhone apps are released every week but who has time to check them all out? Here are three new apps that are worth the time and span a variety of uses.

Zeptopad 1.5 – Zeptopad works on both iPhone and iPod touch and allows users to create handwritten notes and drawings. Three display modes – plain, ruler and grid along with the ability to zoom in/out to allow you to see the details as well as have some guidance for your writing and drawing. Other new features including copy and paste of multiple figures, drawings and text, the ability to redo what was undone, save up to 320 sheets, with up to 256 paths defined, image resolution of 128x128 and new multilingual support. Sharing the drawings is easily done over Wi-Fi and email. The application retails for $9.99 but is a free update for existing users.

Touchgrind – A Multi-touch skateboarding game. Finger gestures provide control as you ride freely through the skate park pulling off tricks across a variety of surfaces including ramps, boxes and rails. Plus the online level editor means you can make your own environments to skate in or share them with your friends. The game is community driven and users can request new features to help drive the game’s development.

iMarkMySpot – One-touch Geotagging application to Geocode and Geotag digital photos with exact GPS data. Thanks to the built-in GPS functionality of the iPhone the application can save standard GPX format waypoint files with specific location information. Those files can then be transferred to other applications that can utilize the files and combine that with the time stamp on the photo; images can have an exact time and place added to them. The GPX files are compatible with Google Earth, EasyGPS, GPSBable, RoboGEO and more. Plus you can give your GPX waypoints easy-to-remember names and can even display a Google map of stored waypoints.

These are just three recent apps available through the Apple App Store. Every week great new applications are available to expand the functionality of your iPhone, entertain you or help you get work done more quickly. With Google’s Android out in the wild, the heat is on to help keep the iPhone the number one application development platform for mobiles so many more applications will be popping up and many will probably be ported across to both.
