There are hundreds of iPhone applications (also known as iPhone apps) available. Some have been developed by Apple while others have been developed by outside third parties.

Also, here is something I find very interesting; 'The University of Saskatchewan is offering iPhone programming courses, which will also be a first for Canada'.

Here is a list of some of the standard iPhone apps.

Standard iPhone Applications

iPhone

This application works like any cell phone. The iPhone has position sensors, which turns off the multi-touch screen when you hold the iPhone to your ear.

While on a call you can turn on the speaker phone, mute and use the keypad, initiate a three-way call, place the call on hold, while you add the caller to your contact list with just a touch of a button.

Also, while still on the phone you can call up another application. The iPhone also has photo caller ID so that you can add a photo for each individual on your contact list.

Other iPhone Applications:

• Favourites: Contains your speed dial list. With a tap of a button you can add a name from your Contact list to your favourites.
• Another screen will also show all the phone numbers for a particular contact. Just tap the specific number you want and the call will be made.
• Recents: Allows you to call up all your calls or just the missed calls with just a tap of a button.
