Savvy iPhone enthusiasts have been busy making new and optimizing existing Web apps for the Apple device’s touchscreen. In that sense today we’re presenting you with 5 new iPhone-ready Web 2.0 apps. Let’s roll…

  • iTweetr More iPhone apps availableis, as you can guess, an iPhone interface for Twitter
  • iPhone Feed Reader allows you to read RSS feeds. Hopefully, Apple will provide us with some real RSS reader app, so we don’t have to rely on web apps for this. Or, even better – Jobs will further extend its partnership with Google to deliver the iPhone-optimized Google Reader.
  • iActu enables you to read the news gathered from six American Newspapers, including The New York Times, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Times and Chicago Sun-Times. It seems like a quite simple app, but it looks uber-cool, fitting perfectly with the overall iPhone look.
  • MyMetar is a niche iPhone app that provides personalized aviation weather to pilots, which require access to special weather observations and images such as turbulence and significant weather prognostics.
  • Listingly allows users to create different kinds of private and shared lists. Some examples include shopping, to do and wish lists.

There you have it. At the end, Web 2.0 app idea may actually turn out as a great one. After all, I can’t recall any other phone that had so many applications available even before a handset has been tried out by a developer.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    Well I can remember lots of phones that have tons of apps even before their presentantion!! How abou that?? Just think “S60″!

    And you really think 5 or 6 apps are lots of them?? Specially when they’re simply things gathered from the web and adapted for the iPhone??

    Oh please.. I mean, iPlease..

    Hey, I’m an S60 device user (N93). :)

    But, you must agree that what we have here is unique – fans are organizing a developer bootcamp for themselves, without a penny from Apple.

    I’ve had N80 as soon as it was available. And there were no that many S60 3rd edition apps then.
