Best of 2009: Connected Planet staffs’ favorite mobile apps
In addition to our mobile phones, in 2009 we were addicted to:
- Real mobile browsers – starting with iPhone but by year end available on most smartphones (though Blackberry and WinMo browsers still lag) – Editor in Chief Rich Karpinski
- Google Goggles – Executive News Editor Ed Gubbins
- Seafood Watch – Is the tuna that looks so good at the supermarket actually endangered? – Senior Editor Kevin Fitchard
- Words with Friends on the iPhone 3G. It’s not groundbreaking; just free Scrabble on your phone. It has made an honest Scrabbler out of me. – Associate News Editor Sarah Reedy
More favorites from our smartphone holdouts after the break…
- I’ve still got my old 2006 Motorola RZR, so my favorite app would be the video camera, for grainy home videos of my 10-month-old daughter. – Associate Editor Mark Donahue
- I’m embarrassed to admit I don’t have any apps on my phone, but if I had an iPhone, it would be Color Expert, What the Font, anything with restaurant reviews and Bus Tracker. – Art Director Isabelle Pantazis
- I don’t have apps on my phone… living in the Stone Age! But if I did, my favorites would be the iOwn and UrbanSpoon. – Senior Marketing Manager Kim Davidson
