iPhone Apps to Read You to Sleep at Night

Does your phone read you 16th century love sonnets as you go to sleep at night? With the right selection of iPhone apps, such wonders are possible. Iphone technology makes the impossible possible all the time, from streaming your entire music library to finding the cheapest rates on hotels in Hawaii, all in the palm of your hand.

In fact, the iPhone is capable of so much that admittedly, not all of it is worth doing. While some iPhone apps merely give a technological nerd a job, others will dramatically improve your every day life. Here are a few of the iPhone apps worth shouting about.

Yelp – Lost in the city with no place to go? Time to Yelp. This iPhone app will find you the nearest bars, restaurants and banks to whatever locale you’re wandering through. If you don’t like to dive into a bar or restaurant like a bad blind date, you can read thousands of reviews by regular Joe Smoes like yourself who don’t write for the New York times.

NYTimes – Speaking of the New York Times, this iPhone app allows you to stream the voluminous sections of New York City’s biggest newspaper right from your phone. You can find stories by their section or just stream the most popular. Each article comes with full color photos, and the text is surprisingly easy to read on the screen. At this time, there are hardly any other iPhone apps that stream entire media publications, but expect more on the horizon.

Stanza- Stuck on the bus with no book? The Stanza allows you to read the classics, or anything you can find in their large library of public domain files. You can also add lengthy Word or PDF files from your computer, so you can effectively edit your term paper from your cell phone. This is one of those iPhone apps that’s has something for everyone, from college students to corporate lawyers. Don’t expect to find Heathcliff’s Latest Laughs in the public domain, however, if your reading tastes crave the microwaved White Castles of literature.

Jott – Does the iPhone’s digital computer keyboard cramp your brain? Jott transfers voice mail into text so you can avoid all that typing. It’s ideal for text messaging if all that button pushing drives you mad.

Stanley Brasen can’t stop raving about the capabilities of the iPhone and all the iPhone apps available.
