Adam Fields (work stuff) - A recent list of iOS apps I like

This is my blog about work stuff.

See this post for discussion of what this blog is about and what I do.

I am often available for consulting work, and always happy to discuss it even if I'm currently very busy. Email me or find me on twitter @fields if you need something.

A recent list of iOS apps I like

Facebook - iPhone only. On the iPad, I really like Social, but the authors stopped developing it and pulled it from the store. None of the other iPad clients even comes close, though Friendly is passable.
Dropbox
DuckDuckGo - front-end to duckduckgo search. Not necessary, but convenient to segregate search from general browsing
Omnifocus (nice on the iphone, stellar on the iPad)
Omnigraffle (iPad only)
Flipboard (iPad only) - nice visual feed / facebook twitter browser
Zite - personalized magazine based on your twitter, google reader, or delicious feed. It seems to always deliver something I want to read, which is good enough for me.
Tweet Library (iPad only) - stores your twitter stream in a way that’s easily searchable
Flickpad Pro (iPad only) - really nice flickr/facebook photo browser
GoodReader - all around document reader w/ dropbox support
Billings - decent companion to mac version
LinkedIn
OpenTable
Groupon
Amazon / Amazon Windowshop
Twitter
eBay
Instapaper - offline web page saver
1Password - password manager - has its own built-in browser which is nice for very quick drops into a password-protected site
ExitStrategy - one of my favorite apps - they mapped where the exits are on all of the NYC train stations and tell you where to board the train so you’re near an exit when you get off at your desired station
Desktop Connect - vnc / remote desktop (iTeleport is also good. Screens is very nice, but crashes with multiple monitors)
ProCamera - hands down the best camera app I’ve used, and really fast even on my 3GS, doesn’t yet support iPad2 camera, but I have to think it will
Groceries - nice shopping list manager
Remote
NPR Music
Accuweather -this is the best weather app on the iPhone, I think. The Weather Channel app is better on iPad.
Kindle
Wikipanion Plus - nice wikipedia browser (Articles is prettier, but lacks some features)
Soulver - really nice calculator pad, also great on mac
Clock Pro - good collection of flexible timers

Video:

Netflix
Hulu Plus
AirVideo / StreamToMe - they’re both good, both let you stream a whole bunch of video/music from your desktop

Cooking:

Ratio
How to Cook Everything
Cellar - the best wine management app I’ve found
The MacGourmet app kind of sucks, but is very helpful if you use MacGourmet on the mac.

Games I keep coming back to:

Scrabble (all games should be this well done)
Fruit Ninja
Cut the Rope
Spite and Malice HD (there’s an iPhone-only version or the iPad version will run on both)
Graveyard Shift
Dungeon Raid
Dodge Dot
No, Human
Osmos / Osmos HD
Infinity Blade
10 Pin Shuffle
Frenzic
Drop7
Monster Dash
Orbital
The Incident
Slice HD gets special mention for innovative use of touch controls
