iPhone apps: London JamCams, King's Cup, iLaugh
London JamCams ($3) provides users with a method for quickly viewing traffic congestion on London's roads. Users have access to any of the 179 traffic cameras across Greater London, which can be sorted quickly or defined into routes. Once a route has been defined the included cameras can be viewed manually or as a slideshow.

King's Cup ($3) brings a version of the popular drinking game to the iPhone. Users must select a card from the virtual deck, which is then revealed indicating an action to be performed along with an animation demonstrating the required actions. The game also saves progress if a call or text message has to be answered so players can resume right where they left off.

iLaugh ($2) puts a large database of jokes inside a users pocket. With this application users have access to an online database of jokes that are collected from various sources such as Jokes.com and bash.org. Since the database is kept online the developers are able to update and add to it when they find new great sources, which in turn gives users access to new jokes.

Backgrounds (free) helps users find new wallpaper for their iPhone. The application features over 1000 unique backgrounds from various sources that have been broken down into categories such as nature, beaches and cities. The database of backgrounds is update on a daily basis and users can also choose to upload their own wallpapers to share with other users.

Dict - English Dictionary ($3) is an English dictionary for the iPhone and iPod touch which provides users with both definitions and synonyms for given words. The application gathers information from the internet which means updates to any information can be accessed immediately with no need to update the app.
