Top Apps For Android, IPhone, Blackberry, And Windows
Part of the smart phone experience is the availability of applications. Most users are on pay monthly phone deals that include a large data allowance so they do not need to limit their phone use.These apps provide the opportunity to streamline experience and enhance the functionality of one’s phone. Applications can do just about anything. On Android, there are already 700,000 apps. On iPhone, there are even more. Blackberry and Windows are looking to increase their numbers too. So, here is a list of some of my favorite apps.

Tube Map.
When you get to London, it can be a real hassle trying to find your way around the tube. This simple application will give you live updates of delays on the tube and provide you with an interactive map so you can plan your journey without any hassle at all. No more asking for people to help you or getting stuck on the Central Line amidst lengthy engineering works delays.

Twitter
Having Twitter available on your phone is an essential component of many people’s phone experience. Being able to see live updates of friends, celebrities, and those you follow, and also being in touch with what’s happening around the world really gives one a sense that they are living in the moment. Hooray for Twitter.
