5 iPhone Apps to Get You Through the Holidays
By Jean Aw (from NOTCOT) on December 21, 2009
It's that crazed travel, shopping, family filled time of year, and if anything, that means a lot of waiting, standing around, multitasking, and it never hurts to be over prepared with forms of amusement ready for kids and adults of all ages (yourself included). So, here are 5 of my favorite iPhone apps I can't imagine living without this holiday season.

1. Photogene
- so far my favorite photo editor on the iPhone ~ and if you're going
to shoot and share on the go, it's definitely nice to tweak things like
the levels before launching them out into the world! Really it's just a
nice thing to do for all the folks who end up in your holiday photos
before you start tagging them.
2. Tweetdeck
~ mock me not, but I'm terrible at tracking/reading twitter, but
tweetdeck helps keep me organized enough to check in on it when running
around!
3. ABC Oddity
~ the cutest illustrated animated alphabet app... complete with
shaking, flicking, tapping for all kinds of fun and unexpected
engagement! Perfect for the random young'ns you may need to distract at
a random holiday party... or on the plane... or at dinner?
4. Ramp Champ
- it's terribly addicting ~ as skeeball always is? Only this one has
ninjas! And tikis! And pirates! And sea creatures! And clowns! And
unicorns! And more... It doesn't hurt that they also give you tickets
you use to can buy virtual prizes for your virtual cabinet too... Great
for killing time ~ or keeping people busy?
5. Crayon Physics
- just like it sounds... crayon drawings on paper! With physics! My
favorite puzzle game by far both in terms of visual and interactivity.
