Unlike your typical cell or smart phone, the iPhone is far more reliable, responsive, and so much better to look at. Let’s remember that Apple created the craze that are “Apps” and these have allowed us to make just about everything possible through the iPhone. Android may have some similarities as they weren’t creative enough to be original, or first, however, they have some serious flaws. Android phones are buggy, bulky, and about as reliable as a beta version of Windows Vista. My top apps for fellow iOS users:
Pages
Imagine to have the ability to write papers, takes notes in class, and print them later on right from your iPhone. What other cellphone do you know that can do that!? Pages allows you to do so and more. From choosing a template for your document to being able to access it in any of your iDevices as well as to download to your computer through iCloud. Pages for iPhone is a great App to get your homework done on the go and be ready for class even if you don’t bring a notebook or laptop.
iBooks
Thinking about getting a Kindle? Think again! Apple gives you something even better. iBooks gives you access to an immense collection of e-books through the iBooks Store. Not only you have the ability to read books, but you can highlight text, make notes as you read, and it even has a built-in dictionary for word meanings. Read PDF files as well as to print or email them. Definitely this is an App worth downloading.
Dragon Dictation
While in class one can always write memos, notes, and so much more, but sometimes it can be frustrating trying to keep with up. Dragon Dictation will be a great asset as it is an Easy-to-use voice recognition that will let you speak and instantly see the text. It’s much faster than typing and you can copy it into an email, text, and even to Facebook or Twitter.
So Dragon may be nice, but Siri talks to me.
And I gotta say, I like my Kindle app. iBooks may have all the same features as Kindle, but it doesn’t have a dedicated piece of e-ink hardware for reading. I mean, who reads books on their iPhone?
