iPhoneiPhone applications, or just 'apps' for the in-crowd, make this revolutionary multimedia device as unique as its users. With just a simple click on your touch screen or iTunes, you can download apps that keep you on track or let your mind wander. There are thousands of apps out there, all either free or surprisingly inexpensive, and everyone has their favorites. We love our favorites so much we just had to share.

With this app simply shake your iPhone, provided its OS 2.0 or later, and GPS technology will find a restaurant option near you. Not satisfied with the first pick? Keep shaking until you’re happy. Plus, browse by food type, average price or distance.
