Today’s Notable iPhone Apps – Tuesday June 23rd Edition

AT&T has released a turn-by-turn navigation application for the iPhone which is for AT&T Navigator customers. An AT&T Navigator subscription costs $9.99/month, so while downloading this app is "free", it's not free by any means. To activate (OR CANCEL) the subscription, buying/deleting the app won't do…you've gotta call AT&T (1800-331-0500), or go to www.att.com/directbill.

Both the paid and free versions of AIM now have push notifications. What this means, for those of you that aren't aware, is that you can now still be connected to the application even if it is not actively running on your iPhone. That way, you will always be notified if someone sends you a message. It takes the application's usage to a whole 'nother level. Other than push, you can do all sorts of typical AIM things. The other notable improvement is that you can use landscape mode for a bigger keyboard.

Take the iPhone in your hand, stick your hand straight ahead of you, tap Start, and wait. The iPhone will collect some information and the value of your heart rate will be displayed. While I question the functionality of the application, it seems like a good idea. If it actually works, then it's an extremely useful app. Great for athletic and medical purposes. The application even allows you to store your pulse data and create logs, tables, etc.
