iphone.jpgiPhones 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." For more on iPhone apps for government, check out this article. -- Eliza Krigman

iPhone applications can be useful for almost everything nowadays. Those applications are being used in hospitals, schools, universities, governments as you have mentioned, and so on. Apple guys have made a really great job with iPhone and app store for them. The flexibility of iPhone is also very important because you can create almost every app you want. The variety of functions is just huge. But I think that it is nice that people are taking iPhone seriously and using them in governments or so on. We must be modern nowadays. Thanks for this article by the way and I will be waiting for more nice ones from you in the nearest future.

Sincerely,

David Peterson from iphone application development

 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.
