[ATTACH=right]14158[/ATTACH]I love my iPhone. It's a cool device with lots of free and low-cost apps at my finger tips, but I've been wondering lately if some of these Apps are a good thing. I mean, why do I need a dedicated New York Times app, for example? Why doesn't the …

Google announced the long awaited [URL="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2010/01/google_releases_its_nexus_one.html"]Nexus One[/URL] today, but the phone itself was only part of the story.

Each of our our facebook pages are different. Why? Not only is it because of our postings on our wall, but also the apps we add to our pages. I just read about the plethora of Facebook apps on Mashable - [url]http://mashable.com/2009/10/24/facebook-apps-guide/[/url] So which apps do you use?
