Top 10 IPhone Applications for 2009

We've made good use out of the $.99 flashlight application, downloaded every updated version of Facebook, and although it feels nothing might ever top Pandora, with now more than 35,000 applications available for the iPhone, the downloading possibilities are endless. To narrow down your choices, below are the top 10 new apps available for download on your ever so addicting iPhone

BeatRider Touch

Calling all Guitar Hero fanatics! Beat Rider Touch puts Tap Tap Revenge to shame with better graphics and the ability to play any song you choose. The app allows you to save up to 20 of your own songs onto your iPhone or iPod touch to play on or offline. BeatRider Touch Lite is available for free, but it only allows you to download a single song at a time instead of 20 like the full version.

Brain Teaser

Some say it's the hardest puzzle game currently available, I say it's an updated version of the annoyingly impossible Rubik's cube. The rules are simple and that app is free, so there's really no reason not to try this BrainTeaser out.

BudgetCare

In today's struggling economy, everyone should be financially conscious and nothing can assist better than a budgeting application. BudgetCare is useful and very simple to use for easily tracking your personal expenses.

GPSed: Mapping Impressions

iFighter

If you like blasting things, iFighter features four fun levels of shooting Nazis from your Air force plane. In addition, you get to your enemies, you get to destroy tanks, planes, ships and a boss enemy at the end of each level. Once you destroy your enemies, they leave behind stars and medals that you collect for points. There are three ways to control your airplane: Joypad, Swipe, and Motion and three difficulty settings, and all this is entertainment will cost you just $.99!

MySlots Lite

Can't get enough of the slot machine applications? Here's a new one to add to your collection that's free too. MySlots is actually uniquely designed from the other casino applications with the ability to customize the items in the slot machine with pictures from your own library. It also features authentic slot machine sound effects and allows you to play multiple lines.

Realmaze 3D

Realmaze 3d is not your average maze game. There are five sizes of mazes, ranging from tiny to insane designed with impressive graphics. Each maze is timed and the goal is to see how long it takes you to escape the maze. Move forward by tapping a spot on the screen that you wish to move to. You can add a compass to see which direction you are traveling or leave a trail of bread crumbs. And although the compass speeds up time by 10% and the bread crumbs speeds up time 33%, it penalizes your time.

Sonic The Hedgehog

$5.99 will transport you back to circa 1991, when a blue hedgehog was the flagship game for the now pre-historic SEGA Genesis game system. Each level is just like the original game with its original graphics and nostalgic bonuses like super speed, invincibility and temporary shield. Re-visit all the sonic spinning, coin collecting fun with this SEGA classic now available for your iPhone/iPod Touch.
