Besides my girlfriend, my most prized possession is my iPhone. The iPhone has truly revolutionized the telecommunications sector. If you own an iPhone, you probably can agree with this statement. Without my phone, I am literally lost. About a month ago, I jumped in a pool with my iPhone and did not realize it until five minutes later. The phone was completely water logged and I did everything I could to try and save it but could not get anything to work. I was completely devastated by this incident and had to resort to using a go phone. Luckily, I was due for an upgrade and was only without an iPhone for a week. I also put the waterlogged phone on Craigslist and sold it for $70. I only spent $30 and change to get a new iPhone.
Now I want to turn my attention to my three favorite paid iPhone apps to date. There is literally an app for everything you can think of, the ones I am going to discuss are the ones that I use the most on a daily basis.
1. Tweetie
When I created this blog, I had a Twitter account but never really used it. Twitter is a good way to send short status updates of what you are doing. In my opinion, Tweetie is the best Twitter iPhone app because it allows you to do multiple things when you are on the go. This app costs $2.99 and can be downloaded from the app store on the iPhone or through iTunes. Tweetie is made by atebits and has the following features; these features were taken from atebits Website.
• Handle multiple twitter accounts.
• View your timeline, replies, direct messages, and favorites.

2. Photoscatter
Photoscatter comes in a close second in my favorite iPhone app list. Photoscatter is an app that lets you send a photo to multiple Websites like Facebook, Flikr, Shutterfly, Photobucket, Picasa, and Twitter. In order to send photos to these sites, you need to have a registered account with them. Photoscatter is developed by Unique Apps and the developers are working on adding more sites to add to the app. Photoscatter has a price tag of $1.99 and can be downloaded from the iPhone app store or through iTunes.
3. Awesome Note

I use all these apps on a daily basis and they have made many things easier especially when I am on the go. If you are an avid Twitter user and have an iPhone, I think you should really consider Tweetie. The features of this little gem are truly amazing. If you like to upload your iPhone pictures to the various photo sharing sites, then Photoscatter is definitely for you. This app will definitely save you a lot of time when uploading photos to photo sharing sites. In my opinion, Awesome Note should be on every iPhone out there. Making reminders have never been easier with this app. I am constantly making reminders to myself with this app and I know that I will not forget anything. I hope you found this information helpful. These apps have saved me a lot of time and I am more efficient with them.
