The iPhone has been a huge success in the mobile phone market. Some say that the reason that it is a success is because of the App Store -- and it's nearly a million applications. However, a more likely reason is that the iPhone can handle so many of our daily tasks that users quickly wonder how they ever lived without it. Some of the most popular applications for the iPhone are applications for reading the news, which allow mobile users to have the most up-to-date information without having being tied to their computer or going through the hassle of searching multiple websites from a browser window. For people that are too busy to spend time going from website to website, a dedicated news reader is just what they need.
The first iPhone app that users have come to like is Instapaper. This app is much more than an ordinary new app. It is perfect for allowing users to save their favorite articles for reading at anytime. For users that are not always in cell range or have an Internet connection, being able to read articles offline is very important and that is what this application does. Overall, users will be impressed with the way the app reformats the web page offline for a better and easier reading experience.
Another iPhone app that will impress users is the Instacast app. Just about everyone has viewed a podcast at some point. For some people, podcasts are an essential part of their day and being able to access their favorite podcasts is very important. Most people get their podcasts by using iTunes to import them to their iPhone, but when a person is away from their computer, it is important to still be able to download a podcast. Instacast allows users to download any podcast they choose to view instantly or save for viewing later on. This is a very simple but powerful application for iPhone users.
For iPhone users that do not want to deal with opening multiple applications to get their news, the Easy News app is most likely going to be the best choice. It gives the user one simple to use interface, and allows them to spend more time reading their news then wasting time opening browsers. This app even has push notifications, so that users will always have the most up-to-date news. This app is great for people that want to just read the news and move on with their day.
Whether they prefer reading offline, listening to podcasts or news by push notifications, these apps will keep users "in the know" about the day's most important topics.
