YUMPU automatically turns print PDFs into web optimized ePapers that Google loves.

With over 300,000 applications now in the App Store,<br />

up 200% from this time last year, the average user<br />

doesn’t have a prayer of finding the very best items<br />

without help - even so, updates and new releases<br />

seem to change the balance every day. But our<br />

editors spend a great deal of time testing and hunting<br />

down new apps, looking for the top tools to help<br />

make the <strong>iPad</strong>, <strong>iPhone</strong>, and <strong>iPod</strong> touch more useful.<br />

You’ll find them here. We’ve selected 100 essential apps<br />

from many genres, looking for the right combinations<br />

of sheer utility, interface design, and value. Apps on<br />

this list are the ones we actually use and love, not<br />

flash-in-pan releases, with a focus on titles that were<br />

released or substantially updated in the last year - many<br />

now with universal <strong>iPad</strong>/<strong>iPhone</strong>/<strong>iPod</strong> support rather<br />

than just working on one or two devices. While some<br />

apps from last year’s list still remain worthwhile, the<br />

picks here are the most vital and necessary today.<br />
