Win: October 2010
Here at Mac|Life, we’re crazy about iPhone apps. And since we’re always testing the newest and hottest apps, our iTunes libraries are packed with everything from text editors and blogging apps, to silly stuff like Robot Unicorn Attack, and no-longer-available contraband like NetShare (shhhh! Don’t tell Apple). But we want to know what’s in your library. So comment below with the total number of apps in your library, and a list of your top ten most-used apps.
This month, we’re giving away a Gum Plus mobile battery pack for your iPhone, from our friends at Just Mobile. It’s just the thing to power up your iPhone or iPod touch after you’ve killed your battery with all those apps.
Mac|Life "It’s the apps!" Contest rules: One entry per person. The winner will be chosen at random from qualified entries. All entries must be received no later than October 31, 2010, with the winner announced in the Jan/11 issue. By entering this contest, you agree that Future US, Inc. may use your name, likeness, and website for promotional purposes without further payment. Employees of Sponsor, its respective parent, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, and agents, and foregoing employees¹ household or immediate family members (defined as parent, spouse, child, sibling, or grandparent) are NOT eligible to enter Contest. All prizes will be awarded, and no minimum number of entries is required. If two or more people enter identical designs and that entry is selected as the winner, the entry received first will be awarded the contest prize. Prizes won by minors will be awarded to their parents or legal guardians. Future US, Inc. is not responsible for damages or expenses the winners might incur as a result of this contest or the receipt of a prize, and winners are responsible for income taxes based on the value of the prize received.

I have 146 apps, all but two are free.
The most used are:
Maps (in town and when traveling - love watching the blue dot move),
My Radar (fun to watch the storms roll in),
Calculator (run out of fingers, often),
IMDb (internet movie data base),
Versus Hockey (best for box scores),
USA Today (my version of news - sweet and short),
Economy (just economic data, but very useful),
Notes (I wish I read or used them as often as I write them),
MapItAreaCD (to check caller-ID area codes - very quick),
and a tie for SoundHound and Shazam (usually have to use both).I knew ten was too short for a list of this type.

The fact that multiple applications can now be placed on a folder has greatly made my life easier! I currently have 233 apps and 103 in 16 folders on one screen. This allows me to maximize my time and effort. Unfortunately several investment apps and mapping apps are serious battery drains as they update every few seconds. Not to mention that investing is intense and draining too! I would love to be able to have a Gum Plus Mobile Battery Pack to help me on those long days without a power source available!
1. Bank of America (moving money to invest)
2. CNBC RT (monitoring current market up to the minute)
3. PortfollioLive (very handy tool to monitor $$)
4. Traffic (helps in the rush hour)
5. 1Password Pro (Both iMac and iPhone)
6. Things (Both iMac and iPhone)
7. Voice Memos (to remember my ideas!)
8. TWC (have to keep an eye on the sky)
9. Game Center-WSOP (need down time to play some Texas Hold-em
10. MacLife (and to keep up to date along with my current subscription)

5) Mail
6) Facebook
7) DocsToGo
8) Dropbox
9) FM Pro 11 (the book)
