  • FlowerPedia ($5) is a flower identification tool and encyclopedia for the iPhone and iPod touch. The flower identification wizard allows users to search through the database by characteristics. The search covers more than 70 percent of the flowers found in North America and up to 90 percent of the species in Europe, Asia and Australia. The encyclopedia includes information on more than 100,00 different plant types, including common and scientific names, identifying features, and the genus to which the plant belongs.

  • iSeed Spit ($2) is a game where players try and spit watermelon seeds as far as possible. Players can select a combination of how much water to drink and how big of a watermelon piece to bite and then blow into the microphone to spit the seed. Players can also adjust the angle to launch their seed and top scores are saved and posted on a global leader-board.

  • Snowboarding TNT ($2) is a snowboarding game that uses the accelerometer for the main control layout. Players can choose between a male or female boarder and six different courses. To gain points players have to race down the hill as fast as possible while avoiding obstacles and performing tricks. Tapping on the screen allows players to jump and then tilting the device in different directions results in different tricks being performed.

  • WhiteBoard Capture ($2) allows users to capture images of a whiteboard and enhance them for readability. The application can filter out artifacts in the image such as glare and marker residue making images more suitable for printing. Images are captured in full color and users can use a slider to adjust how heavily artifacts are reduced. Finished images can then be saved to the devices photo library or emailed to friends or colleagues.

  • TweetMic ($1) is a Twitter client which allows users to post audio recordings. The application links to an existing Twitter account allowing users to directly post audio Tweets which can also include text. The recordings are stored in an online cloud allowing users to remove them at any time if desired. TweetMic has no limits on the number of recordings that can be posted and also has no time limits for recordings.
