Finding the right FM channel!

This is really my favorite third-party iPhone web application. Since many cars don't have the best iPhone/iPod integration, using an FM transmitter is sometimes the only way of getting the music in your car speakers. The huge problem with an FM transmitter is always to find the right frequency that is not in use by any radio station. The problem gets harder in large cities. This website will let you enter a zip code and it will give you a list of the best possible unused frequencies! You can check it out at http://dlo.com/openfm/

MasterMind on the iPhone!

The possibilities of iPhone web games are truly infinite! This is a MasterMind game for the iPhone. It actually works in any web browser, even not on an iPhone. It is at http://muquit.com/iphonemm/

Othello game

According to the developer's site, this is a classic game. To be honest, it's the first time I see it, but it looks pretty cool. The interface is very clean and well adapted for playing on the iPhone. It is at http://members.tripod.com/rv6/othello.html

A classic boxing game

There isn't really much to talk about today in terms of third party apps, so I'll go with this cool game called Knock Out. It was originally a Nintendo game called PunchOut. You can check it out at: http://www.gyrocade.com/ko/

Mark as unread in the iPhone Mail!

You can get the same "Mark as unread" feature that is in the full version of Mail right in the iPhone mail software. When you are looking through an email, click Details. You can then choose the "Mark as Unread" function.

Making the iPhone Safari more like the real Safari!

In the real Safari, you can easily mouse over a link to see where a link will actually bring you. It is not really as easy on the iPhone. There is a way to do it however. Instead of just tapping on it, you can just hold your finger on the link. After a few seconds, a balloon will pop up with all the information of where the link will bring you.

Stacking log in a game?

Okay, I never would have thought of this as a real game. The concept looks really weird at first, but once you start playing, it rocks! You can check out the "Stack the log" game at http://xwuz.com/stack/game.html

Dictionary and Thesaurus!

If you are looking for a good Dictionary and Thesaurus for your iPhone, this is it. What I like is that it is really simple so it fits really well on the screen size of the iPhone. I am not sure it was actually designed for the iPhone, but it's great anyway. It is at http://www.askaword.com/

The World Clock!

Okay, I know the iPhone includes most of what is in this web application right in a widget, but I thought I'd post it anyway for two reasons: it is really well developed with a precise and accurate way of adding a clock based on Google Maps and there isn't that much to talk about in term of iPhone tips. Third-party development is not really here yet and web applications are pretty limiting. Like I just said, what is great about this app is how precise you can be when adding a city. You don't have to choose within a predetermined list, you can really choose your city on a Google map. You can check it out at http://www.worldclockr.com/mobile.html

Calculating tip in restaurant!

This is the perfect example of why Web application can be even better than full scaled apps. I wouldn't want to download this application that calculates the amount of tip I have to leave and have it always occupy space on the main screen. Having it as a simple bookmark makes so much sense. It is at http://steveorr.net/games/TipCalc.aspx

The NYC Subway!

Okay, I have to admit that this isn't for everyone. But even if you don't live in NYC, it is still very useful for when you are visiting. You can check it out at http://rogerkenny.com/itrain/

eBooks on the iPhone, at last!

This was one of the features that I was really disappointed not to see on the iPhone. eBooks are so much more convenient than real books. You always have your iPhone on you wherever you are. This website will let you browse through the ebooks from Project Gutenberg as well as let you add your own ebooks. It is at http://scrollbox.org/.

The iPhone is now a ... a Graphing Calculator!

Okay, it might not be as feature filled as a graphing calculator (in terms of math features), but it is really cool. It really shows how much the iPhone is a real all-in-one device. It is a third-party web application in which you can enter math functions and get the resulting graph. It is at http://furbo.org/stuff/conspiracy.html

iPhone game

The real Facebook on the iPhone!

I previously explained how you can check out the mobile version of websites on your iPhone if you want a version that is better adapted to small screen. Well the real iPhone version of Facebook is here and it is much better than the regular mobile version. It is at http://iphone.facebook.com

Tuning your guitar with your iPhone!

Well it looks like the possibilities are endless with an iPhone. You can now use it to tune your guitar. The application looks pretty nice. The audio files are QuickTime which is definitely the best choice for compatibility with the iPhone. I'm not an expert in guitar tuning so I'm probably not the best judge. It is at http://iphoneguitartuner.com/

Skype on the iPhone, at last!

If there was something I was hoping for when Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone is Skype. Skype is one of the best VoIP solution out there. I thought it really would be great when on WiFi. Unfortunately, the news of no third-party applications stopped Skype. We can now finally use Skype on the iPhone. It is a Skype web application. It works very well and finally solve the problem of no VoIP. You can check it out on your iPhone at http://skypeforiphone.com/index_iphone.jsp

Battleship on your phone!

If you are a fan of Battleship, this game is for you. It works perfectly with the touch-screen and the animations are pretty well done. It is at http://www.rogerkenny.com/battlefleet/

TV schedule on your iPhone!

This is much better than the TV schedule you'll see on your TV because it is according to what you listen to. You choose the tv shows that you want and every time you load it, the info will be there for you! It is at http://www.bigbucketblog.com/webtv/

Bank of America of your iPhone!

Well it looks like the iPhone is truly a standard around which mobile websites are rallying around. There aren't only Mac websites that now have iPhone-sized versions. Today, it is the turn of the Bank of America. It is at https://www.bankofamerica.com/mobile/

Pixels!

I previously posted a website that will let you check for dead pixels. Well this is another one, but it does a lot more. I really like the interface that is so much more iPhone-like. You can also try to repair the pixel afterwards. It is at http://irepair.awardspace.com/

Hunting ducks!

This is pretty nice iPhone game for duck hunting. It works pretty well with the touchscreen. You can check it out at http://orangeburgyoungprofessionals.com/duckhunt/

Google News Reader!

This is really the kind of application I am looking for. It is very simple, elegant, and it works perfectly with the multi-touch. It is actually an RSS Google News Reader. You can check it out at: http://www.iphoneatom.com/iphoneatom.aspx#_home

Classic cell phone game!

This is a basic game for the iPhone that looks so much like what most companies include with their cell phone. It works pretty well and is thought out for using a touch screen!

An application to get the tide!

This app is probably the most useless to some, while the most useful to others. I have to say that I do sail sometimes and this is really awesome. You'll be able to get the accurate info about tide anywhere you have Edge signal!

Facebook and MacRumors mobile!

One of the things that most websites who present iPhone application didn't mention is that you can also check out the mobile version of a website. Even if it is not specifically made for the size of the iPhone, it will still look better than a full size website!

Facebook Mobile (m.facebook.com):
