iPhones have cornered the market in cool, and now they may be giving BlackBerrys a run for their money in terms of practicality. Federal News Radio on Wednesday interviewed Andy Einhorn and Alex Salta of OhMyGov.com who touted the usefulness of iPhone applications for government employees. Among the hill-friendly apps are Congress+, a comprehensive congressional directory that includes staff contact info in addition to lawmakers'; FedTravel, a full digital version of the Federal Travel Regulation 301 Handbook for US Official Business Travelers and LawPod, the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure formatted for iPhones. Most of the applications are inexpensive or free; Congress+ costs $10 but just Congress, a comparable version, only costs a dollar. FedTravel and LawPod only cost a buck as well. To avoid less useful applications, check the reviews, said Einhorn, managing editor of OhMyGov, "don't bother with anything less than three stars."

I finally found an iPhone app review site that's honest in it's opinions.
So I thought I would pass it on.
I actually use each and every app recommended.
