World Tour wallpaper app is phenomenal! It takes web cam shots from around the world and updates your wallpaper either every 30 min or by the hour. I’ve had shots of the earth from space, Cambridge at night, penguins in Antarctica, a crane’s nest in Germany, and a Japanese laundry to name just a few.
For Star Trek fans…the Tricorder app is incredible….and really works.
DoubleTwist is a free app that converts and syncs your iTunes library to your phone. Allow for a long sync time and works like a charm! Includes a widget too.
