Apps are applications designed for the iPhone and iPod Touch. They serve a variety of functions such as games, wireless controllers or online services like Wikipedia, Facebook or Youtube. Over 1 Billion Apps have been downloaded so far and as of June 8th, there are over 50 000 applications available from the app store. Apps work effectively because they are cheap, portable, useful and are available in almost any country (for a full list of countries that support the app store, click here)

Metal Gear Solid Touch ($7.99)[[image:images.jpg width="54" height="57"]]
This app is a shooting gallery game. The game follows the storyline of Metal Gear Solid 4 for the PS3. Initial reviews were negative due to it being released without the full story, but it has now been completed. The multi-touch control scheme and fixed position ends up making it harder than the game it is based upon. A free demo is available.

World Newspapers ($2.99)
This app provides a directory of nearly 4000 newspapers from over 100 countries. You can browse by country or region.

Urbanspoon (Free) [[image:images-1.jpg width="51" height="51"]]
This app uses GPS to find a local restaurant. Resaurants can be filtered by neighborhood, cuisine and price. The filtered options are chosen at random on a slot machine display. A shake of the device chooses another restaurant.
