1. I Am T-Pain might be an obvious choice for top spot, but it combined technical innovation with stellar sales. Eschewing pure promotion, it let fans sing along with a selection of T-Pain songs while having their vocals Auto-Tuned on the fly. It also had good sharing features, used in-app payments to buy and download new tracks for use in the game, and recently added the ability to sing over any song in your iPhone music library. App Store 2. Little Boots Reactive Remixer was a branded version of existing iPhone app RjDj. Yes, it involved remixing three of Boots’ tracks, but in two cases that was done based on the user’s movement and external sounds – a properly interactive ambient experience. Or something. App Store 3. Hi, How Are You was a beautiful iPhone game based on the artwork of singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston. Described by the New York Times as “a kind of psycho-religious version of Frogger”, it was a great game backed up with Daniel’s visuals and music. App Store 4. Sonifi was one of the most fully featured ‘remix an artist’ apps, being designed by and for trance artist BT. It let fans mess with the beats, bass, melodies and harmonies of his latest tracks. The killer feature, though, was a two-player ‘Jam Link’ mode to collaborate over Bluetooth. App Store 5. Live Metallica (pictured) was an official app from the metal band that constantly offered a free stream of their latest gig, while also letting fans buy (no, NOT from iTunes) previous sets. Photos and notes from each show made it a must-have for fans. App Store 6. iDrum Underworld Edition was another of the best examples of the popular ‘remix your favourite artist’ app genre this year. It offered 13 tracks to mess around with in an intuitive square-tapping interface, with artwork from the band’s design chums at Tomato. App Store 7. Johnny Cash: I See A Darkness was a graphic novel based on The Man In Black’s life. It didn’t include his songs, but had a clever ‘search and insert’ feature to find his tracks on a user’s iPhone to play at the relevant points of the story. App Store 8. nin: access was the official iPhone app for Nine Inch Nails – one of the more tech-savvy artists in the industry right now. It gives fans access to the community and multimedia sections of the band’s website, as well as letting them chat and upload photos from their iPhone. App Store 9. The Presidents of the United States of America was an app by the band of the same name, offering four albums from their back catalogue as streams, as well as lost recordings, live tracks and other extras. App Store 10. Lady Gaga iOKi (pictured) was a karaoke app based on La Gaga, with instrumental and vocal remixes from four of her hits enabling people to sing along with her, then go it alone. In-app payments allowed new songs to be purchased and downloaded too, from Gaga and other artists. App Store see the rest here

The North Face E-Tip Gloves ($40) “At first blush, these gloves’ futuristic design looks more suited for a gamer. The tip of the index finger and thumb are covered with so-called X-static fabric, which contains a layer of silver. Though the action was slightly more awkward than a human touch for the screen and slide wheel, we found these gloves the easiest to use among the ones we tested that still left our hands covered.” buy here

[via mashable] The Ochocinco Experience (iTunes Link) is the official iPhone app of the talkative NFL player. He proudly boasts that he is the “1st athlete with an iPhone app” (we can’t confirm this). So what does it do? Most of its features are to be expected – it provides exclusive video and photos of Chad, allows you to upload tailgating pictures, includes Ocho’s Twitter timeline, and his stats for the current NFL season. And all you have to pay to become an Ochocinco devotee is $4.99 <- not sure how we feel about the price. Yes, Chad’s effectively leveraged social media. Yes, Chad and his Bengals are actually having a decent season. That doesn’t mean we (or his fanbase) are going to put down $5 to experience him on-the-go. There is such a thing as too much Ocho Cinco. click here to download the app

This is pret-ty crazy. The folks over at Inhabitat have posted about the first Apple-approved solar charger for the iPhone, created by a company called Novothink. Without going into the device’s design and color choice, the important thing it can get your iPhone fully charged as long as that big fiery ball is in the sky. Check out some more pictures and details after the jump. The Surge, as this device is known, also features a USB cable (for those awkward times when the Sun is absent) and a LED indicator which lets you know if your iPhone battery is fully charged or not. The price for the Surge is $70 and it’ll become available later this fall.

The Pizza Hut iPhone app offers a simple interface that includes a menu and a checkout function, as expected. However, the company has also smartly included a "virtual fridge" where you'll find coupons to add to your order and a free game called "Hut Racer" which you can play while you kill time waiting for your pizza to arrive. Altogether, the app seems to be well-thought out, well-designed, and simple enough for anyone to use. [source ]
