TODO: A great task-list app is what
makes my iPhone more tool than
toy, and ToDo keeps me more or
less on point, without taking up a
lot of my time to actually manage
the lists. Wireless syncing with
online taskmasters Toodledo and
Remember The Milk earn ToDo a
coveted spot on my Home screen.
STRATEGERY: Risk is a fun
game, but usually takes hours and
involves a lot of bad fake accents.
Strategery is mini-Risk on the
iPhone or touch, can be played
against friends passing one device
around, and is short enough for a
commercial (or bathroom) break.
Roberto Baldwin Online Editor ANALYTICS APP: If you’re the owner of any website
that actually has a following, Google Analytics is
a great free tool with which to track user traffic.
Accordingly, the Analytics App is a fantastic tool for
viewing Google Analytics reports while on the road or for when you
don’t feel like signing into Google’s own interface.
TOWERMADNESS: 3D TOWER DEFENSE: If you’re a
fan of Tower Defense games, do yourself a huge favor
and check out TowerMadness. Defend your sheep
against marauding aliens with an impressive battery
of cannons and defensive weapons. Add some slick 3D graphics, and
you have an addicting game that’s always on my screen while my
wife shops.

100 APPS YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT
Jan Hughes Managing Editor STANZA: A free e-reader that offers 50,000 free
books to choose from, as well as an impressive
selection of best-sellers to purchase. Stanza’s online
retailers can’t compete with the prices Amazon offers
for the Kindle, but if you don’t already own a Kindle, this app is the
e-reader to have.
CHICKTIONARY: This game invites you to unscramble
letters to make as many words of varying lengths as
you can, all while battling the clock. I love word games
and this one’s a challenge that I can’t seem to stay
away from. Plus, it has cute chickens.
