iPhone 3G Apps Pointing To A Digital Future
By G L Harris
Even with the increased functionality of the most recent
iPhone release in mid-2009, namely the third generation
iPhone 3GS, the majority of applications, or apps, work
fine with both the newer model and the previous iPhone
3G version.
In fact, the proliferation of small, task-specific
little downloadable programs began with iPhone 3G apps
and spawned a creative explosion that doesn’t
seem likely to stop any time soon. Both the app creators
and people who want to take advantage of the downloads
would protest loudly indeed if the applications no longer
worked on the newer iPhone. So users of both versions
possess an embarrassment of riches.
Free Apps For Your iPhone
The iPhone 3G apps, apart from fitting into categories
such as games, organization, videos, search, utilities
and so on, are divided first of all into those that
are free and those that users must pay to
download.
Many people believe in freeware to begin with, so any
iPhone software they would create was bound to be free.
But there are other apps that are meant to serve a public
purpose. So "Google Mobile" is free, for example,
as is the "NYtimes & Mobile" news
app.
Free applications alone provide a broad scope of usefulness,
so people would hardly even need to pay for apps if
they really didn’t want to.
Negligible Charge On Many 3G Apps
However, a great many 3G apps carry a price too. For
most, the cost is almost negligible, running from 99
cents to a couple of dollars. The creators can sell
them inexpensively because the programmers are almost
guaranteed downloads if the applications are useful
or fun.
But in some cases, the iPhone application prices are
very high, not because the app creators are way off
the mark, but because the apps are specialized for professional
use. For example, an application called "Interpath"
allows medical professionals to access pathology images
remotely. Another application, "iRa Pro,"
allows users in the security business to monitor surveillance
cameras.
Apps Covering Human Activities
In the end, it doesn’t matter so much whether the iPhone
3G apps are free, or come with some large or small cost.
What’s really important, as they proliferate and become
more and more elaborate and handle more tasks, is that
these applications are encompassing a growing amount
of human activity.
Whether one uses the iPhone GPS function, plays games,
or organizes their business life, the 3G apps are truly
a hint of things to come, pointing the way to review
your options with a very digital future.

More Apple iPhone Facts....
The iPhone has taken the world by storm and it does
not look to be abating anytime soon. And why should
it? The iPhone applications make having the phone the
coolest thing around.
There is an application for virtually anything you
can imagine. But if you want those applications you
need to have the phone first and know where to shop
second. Because without the iPhone or an iPod, those
applications are useless to you.
