Not all iPhone apps are worth paying attention to, but here are a few worth knowing.

1. Hey Where Are You? While you may want to be trailed by the IRS or bill collectors, it helps being connected by letting friends and family know what you are doing and where. This iPhone app allows users to ask and answer the question, “Hey, where are you?” Keep up to date on where you are and what you are doing. Hanging out at the Cheers bar and want to kick it with a crowd? Let the crowd know you are there with the Hey Where Are You iPhone app. Like many iPhone apps available, this one makes it easier to connect and include people in your life.

2. Print and Share. Let’s face it. Most of our printing ambitions are mere pipe dreams. Yeah, I’ll get you that photo of us on spring break as soon as I get home, happen to remember to find you in my millions of computer files and actually hit print instead of falling asleep on the couch in a drool of late night TV. The best intentions usually get put off into infinity unless we act on them right away. With the Print and Share, your iPhone tells your computer at home to get busy printing before you even get home. It’s one of the better iPhone apps that help you get it done today instead of putting off until tomorrow.

3. Read it later. How often do you come across the most interesting web page when your hands are already full? One of the reasons the Internet can be such a big time sucker is what we discover on accident. Come across an interesting web page, and you might not have time to read it, even though you need to learn and probably won’t be able to find the page again. Like many of the iPhone apps available for easier information, Read It Later allows you to save pages to your iPhone so you can check out that article on global warming or bamboo bikes from your cell phone as you ride the bus.

The fact is that the iPhone is capable of so much that even hard core techies will admit that not all of it is worth doing. Some iPhone apps aren’t worth the time to bother, while others dramatically improve your life. The following iPhone apps, however, are worth the rave.

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 keyboard cramp your mind? Jott can transfer any voice mail into a text to save you the trouble of typing. Ideal for text messaging, Jott keeps all that button pushing from driving you insane.
