Twittering or using Facebook is easier than ever using the dozens of apps available. Why should one turn on his PC and sit in front of it to converse with his friends when he can do it on the go. Not only me but many of those on facebook or twitter find it faster and easy to add friends or sending a messages from iPhone because of the very simplified interface that it provides.

2. Dictaphone

You don’t need a dictaphone if you have your iPhone with you. Just load the free iTalk app with ads or spend a few dollar if you want to buy the ad-free one and your iPhone is now a full functional dictaphone. You can select the quality levels for the recording, pause and resume recording or append new audio to existing recording. You can even add text notes to the recordings which is very helpful recording someone’s interview. You can transfer the recordings via Wi-Fi  to your Mac any time you want.

With access to internet, you can always find the meaning of a word. But if you think that the process is somewhat slow and inconvenient, you can use the dictionary and thesaurus app. Carrying this dictionary is obviously far better option than carrying a real paper one. And this will do the task of informing you with synonyms and meanings even when there is no mobile signal!

7. Camera and Photos

Yes you can use your iPhone as a camera. But in this case I have to agree with you that the camera is not a replacement of digital camera but it can do more than just a camera. You can take a picture and share it instantly using many photo-sharing sites. You can edit the photos or choose to add a filter from various options available. Of many photo-editing apps we would prescribe you to use CameraBag. This has some amazing filters one of which can make your pictures look like they were taken in 1962.
