Everywhere you go, the smart phone apps you hear about the most are the ones offered in the iPhone’s ”App Store.” Whether you are looking for a way to compare hotel or airline prices, or you just can’t wait to get hooked on an addicted game, the ”App Store” has got you covered. According to the Apple company’s famous slogan, ”there’s an app for that.”

When it comes to the App Store, you can find apps that you have to pay for, usually for about an average of 1-2 bucks a pop, as well as free apps, or free, ”lite” versions of paid apps. With the wide variety of apps available, many people tend to use their iPhone as an entertainment center much more than as a high tech cell phone. All of the most popular social networking sites that you use daily are available in the form of apps- Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, you name it. Dating sites and chat services such as AIM and MSN can also be accessed with the use of free applications on the iPhone.

The game selection is the highlight of the App Store, with apps for people of all ages. There is even a category for young children, as well as role-playing games, simulation games, as well as action, arcade, and word games. ”My 8 year old son loves TouchPets Dogs,” says Louise Carras from Indiana, ”I’m allergic to dogs and it is a perfect substitute for that real puppy he has always wanted!” Many of these apps require or allow wifi connection so that you can play with other iPhone owners from across the globe.

Naturally, the Apple iPhone apps are more than just fun and games. ”I can be having an anniversary dinner or at a wedding reception with my wife, and have full access to my stocks. This is awesome!’ says Joe Brewer from Wisconsin. Others have saved hundreds on hotel rooms by downloading apps for comparing prices. There are also translating apps, recipe apps, weather apps, and dozens of features for people in any lifestyle.
