TOP 10 IPhone Applications and Games of Year 2008.

The year 2008 is ending. It has been a great year and probably the most meaningful year for me. And every years ending with lists of the top “blah blah” for the respective years.

HAHAHA! funny Iphone’s video.

And here, i bring you the top 10 applications and games from Gizmodo.

Why i have chosen the list from Gizmodo is actually very much due to the funny and geeky crew there and they’ll probably shows us the best and most deserving stuffs out there. Gizmodo lists below.

Top 10 Iphone Applications

EasyWriter
easywriter
It seems simple—you can type URLs in landscape mode with its larger, more luxuriously spaced keyboard. Why not emails? EasyWriter solved it.
COST: FREE, $2.99 for Pro Edition

Facebook
iphone-facebook
Facebook is officially the largest online social network out there. It has overtaken MySpace, and thus, this is an essential tool for any facebookers, like you are probably one too.
COST: FREE

EverNote
evernote
Already a popular web service and found on other devices, Evernote does something that every location-aware cameraphone should be able to do: quickly take and store geotagged photos so you can remember stuff.
COST: FREE

Google Mobile
google-mobile
Google Mobile was a solid app (but not particularly essential)—and then came voice search.
It’s a natural thing for a cellphone—tap a button, say what you want, and there it is. You can search the web, local results—everything the Google app could previously do.

COST: FREE

RjDj
rjdj
A totally unique music application that processes sound from your environment and replays it according to a set program, creating a trippy, always-evolving soundscape.
Hey, it’s mushrooms without the mushrooms! In the free version, RjDj simply loops and pitch-shifts sound from the microphone, allowing you to build up some pretty amazing beatbox loops or just have a walk around the city, hearing it like never before.

COST: FREE TO TRY, $2.99 for EXPANDED Version

VLC Remote
vlc-remote
One of the first apps we loved was the iTunes Remote—now, the Swiss army knife of media players VLC has one of its very own.
COST: FREE(With Advertisements & Simple Controls), $1.99 for more controls and ads free environment.

Wikipedia
wikipedia-mobile
Needs no explanation, this is the biggest encyclopedia ever known to man. Worth the download.
COST: $2.99

Night Camera
night-camera-iphone
Thanks to its accelerometer, your iPhone knows when it’s being jiggled. Night Camera, simply and ingeniously, uses this data to make your low-light picture clearer. A very good modification to your IPhone. Well, i look at it more as a modification than a application.
COST: $2.99

Tweetie
tweetie-iphone
Tweetie, though, is the closest you’ll get to the Twitter desktop experience, and therefore our best of. Twitter, is a powerful tool, don’t underestimate it. It has even killed SMS in Canada, whoa.
COST: $2.99

Recorder
iphone-recorder
While not the sexiest apps, a good solid voice recorder can be incredibly handy—especially if you are a handsome FBI investigator in the town of Twin Peaks.
Recorder has everything you need—a nice UI, wi-fi syncing and clip emailing, pause and scrub during playback, and all for just a buck.Take dictation!

COST: $0.99

Top 10 IPhone Games

TouchGrind
touchgrind
This skateboarding game was designed from the ground up for the multi-touch iPhone platform, and it shows. The completely unique control method of using your fingers as legs on a skateboard immediately makes sense and is totally addicting. As you get better, the new skateboards that are unlocked with high scores continually feel just within your grasp.
COST:$4.99

Galcon
galcon
Galcon is a space-based strategy game that delivers super-short games, which is perfect for the iPhone. Rather than getting dragged into games you won’t finish, Galcon lets you play a bunch of one or two minute games. You can refine your strategy with each game, and every time you lose it’s just too easy to try again.
COST: FREE(Lite), $4.99 FULL Version

FieldRunners
iphone-fieldrunners
Many call this the best game in the App Store, and it’s tough to argue with them. A tower defense game with a super-high degree of polish, this is the definition of addicting. Basically, you want to set up weapons to stop soldiers for storming your towers. You earn more cash for more weapons for every guy you stop, and you lose health for every guy who gets through. And then you can’t. Stop. Playing it.
COST: $4.99

Line Rider iRide

You’ve probably played Line Rider on the internet in some form or another: you draw a bunch of lines, then a little man on a sled gets tossed down your makeshift track. The controls are simple and work great on a touchscreen, and you can play in short bursts, saving your maps for later. It’s intuitive enough that there’s virtually no learning curve, but you can spend countless hours working on your masterpiece of sledding physics.
COST:$2.99

Uno
iphone-uno
You know Uno, you love Uno. But here’s a version that involves no pesky shuffling. If you’re more of a poker fan you probably went for Texas Hold ‘Em, which is cool, but if you ask me, Uno is a much more fun card game. After all, what fun is poker when you’re gambling with pretend money?
COST: $5.99

Rolando
rolando
This is a wonderful, cartoonish platformer that uses simple controls that are easy to learn but are used in increasingly complicated and challenging ways as the game progresses. You control a series of little balls—Rolandos—by tilting your iPhone and swiping up to jump. But you can control many of them at once, and there are also obstacles and switches you can manipulate. It’s got a high degree of polish and will suck you in from the first level.
COST: $9.99

Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D
crash-bandicoot-nitro-kart-3d
This is our favorite racing game, despite not being fully sold on the accelerometer controls of iPhone racing games. But because of that, you really only need one, and this should be it. Great graphics, good stability and plenty of variety add up to make this the essential iPhone racing game.
COST: $5.99

SimCity
iphone-sim-city
This port of SimCity 3000 is stunning. This is no gimped version of SimCity, dumbed down for a touchscreen. It’s the full game, complete with advisers and all the building types you can handle, with intuitive touchscreen controls. Finally, you can build the epic metropolis of your dreams whenever you sit down and have a few minutes to kill.
COST: $9.99

Touch Hockey: FS5
touch-hockey-iphone
Air Hockey on the iPhone is just like regular air hockey, minus the high probability of getting one of your fingers smashed with the puck. Simply put your finger on the mallet and try to score some goals. It’s also fun to play with two people, with each person holding an end of the iPhone. And hey, no quarters required.
COST: FREE(Lite), $1.99(FULL)

Trism
iphone-trism
This is essentially a modified version of Bejeweled, and if you know that game then you know why you’d want it on your iPhone. It’s a classic puzzle game, one that makes the transition to the touchscreen beautifully. You’re trying to get three pieces of the same color together to make them disappear, and depending on how you’re holding your iPhone, the resulting tumble of pieces will happen in a different direction. It adds a new level of strategy to the game while retaining what made the original so awesome.
COST: $2.99

Phew. Have a nice weekend!
