There are over 15000 iPhone applications available for download. Of the top 10, according to a report in the Financial Times, eight are iPhone games. This article will look at the other two essential applications to download for your iPhone.
Amazon's popular wireless reader is now available to download as an iPhone application. The Kindle is a lightweight wireless device that allows the user to store an entire library of books and read them on the go. No more worrying about which books to pack for a long flight or leisurely vacation, as there are almost a quarter of a million titles to choose from, including 104 of the 112 New York Times bestsellers list, as well as a selection of top newspapers and magazines, including the New York Times itself, Time, Newsweek and The Atlantic.
The iPhone version allows you to synchronize your Kindle reader to your iPhone if you have one, or to read any Kindle book on your iPhone even if you don't. Its Whispersync function synchronizes the last page read between devices, so if you reach page 45 of a book on your iPhone, put it down and then read the same book on your Kindle later, the book will still be set at page 45.
The application enables you to bookmark text that you return to frequently, adjust the text size according to your reading preferences and use the iPhone's touch screen technology to flick through a book just like you would with its "dead tree" equivalent. The touch screen also acts like the scroll bars on your PC monitor, so that if the text is too large to fit an entire page on your iPhone screen, you can scroll down to read the rest of the page.
Another frequently downloaded application for the iPhone comes from the website TV.com. In its web incarnation, TV.com, a subsidiary of CBS Interactive, is a treasure trove of information about pretty much any English-language TV show you can think of, with episode guides, cast and crew guides and much more.
The iPhone version gives you access to all this information too, but its main focus is on finding streaming video for your iPhone. As one would expect given the application's origin, the emphasis is firmly on content from CBS and affiliated channels such as Showtime. This has been a bone of contention from critics. Reviews of the application generally say the same thing: nice functionality, shame about the (lack of) content. TV.com for the iPhone often fails to make a distinction between clips and full episodes, so people have been fooled into watching the former thinking that they were getting the latter. But if you're a fan of NCIS or Star Trek, among other shows, this application allows you to easily watch episodes on your iPhone.

That is not quite true to the standard they have set for themselves...the episodes should be latest actually.But over all this feature is a very redeeming one.
