Continuing the series…

1. Telephone – Gizmo and GV Mobile + – These two apps function together as a pair. GV Mobile + operates as a Google Voice client, playing the middleman between the POTS phone system and wherever Google Voice can route calls to. Gizmo project is a routing target for Google Voice. I can initiate a call with GV Mobile + and route it to Gizmo and use my iPad as a telephone, free. The quality isn’t very good, but it is free.
2. Weather
   1. TWC Max+ – The Weather Channel app lost it’s place on my home screen because it was sluggish and crashed a lot. It hasn’t really earned the respect it lost back and so it languishes in this group.
   2. WeatherStation – A very simple app that displays basic weather details for a place. Haven’t had much use of it since I picked it up.
3. Navigation
   1. Trapster – A great free application for the iPhone/iPad that enables you to socially share the location of speed controls and speed traps on the open road. It isn’t a guarantee that you’ll be able to avoid cops, but it helps give away their location so you can prevent them from ruining someone elses day.
   2. Glympse – An app that supposedly shares your location and travel details with others socially, however the security model bolted onto this app really prevents it from being useful.

And that concludes my app choices that are all valid up until the end of January 2011. Several of these apps will likely be deleted in the days to come, not because I need the space, but because they are clogging up my menus. I hope some of these were helpful to people, if there are any apps you think I should check out, please leave me a comment! Thanks!
