A Look At Some Of The Best iPhone Apps Of 2008

Barletta has picked out some of the App Store’s best applications, and we’ve embedded video reviews for some of them (click the corresponding review link to view a video if it isn’t already embedded). Also be sure to check out our picks of the hottest iPhone apps from back in July when the App Store first launched. The iPhone and iPod Touch have taken the world by storm.
