Apps for your Apple iPhone

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of posts i have been slacking off :-s (spending tooo much time playing with my iphone)
Anyway thanks to the £100 pound off deal @ O2 i bagged my apple iphone for £169.

Since i have had it i have dones alot of searches and found quite a few cool “mobile” sites with apps on which i will share with you over the coming weeks.

Firstly appmarks.com. Its thanks to a youtube video by Chris Pirillio i found this site. Chris talks about it and other reasons why you SHOULDNT jail brake your iphone (google iphone unlock for info on this).

Its a greate little customisable site desiged to look like the home screen on your iphone. You can add remove and edit apps on the page. There is a directory of apps and you can also submit your own!

Anyway check it out @ http://appmarks.com on your iphone or goto http://www.appmarks.com on your pc to find out more info, check out their blog and developer pages. Alternativly have a look at the demo below!
