Jason’s iPhone PodCamp Survival Pack

Ok, so PodCamp Pittsburgh is only a few days away and you need to figure out how many of the hundreds of iOS apps you absolutely must have to get the most out of your experience.  Here is my list of must-have iPhone apps for a good PodCamp experience!

Facebook [free] – Well, duh!

Twitter [free] or Echofon Pro for Twitter [$4.99] – Twitter is good, but Echofon Pro let’s me choose which URL shortening service (bit.ly) and photo upload site (Flickr/TwitPic/Lockerz) to use.  Twitter is a must for for after-class meetups!  Make sure to tag your content with #pcpgh6

Bump [free] – Want to easily exchange contact information with the bump of a device?  Available for both Android and iOS, Bump allows you to configure what information you want to send to someone as a virtual business card.  Both people open the app and literally bump devices.  I love this app!

Google+ [free] and LinkedIn [free] – If you’re into those sorts of things.

Reeder [$2.99] – Absolutely the best RSS reader.  It also syncs with Google Reader–seamlessly.

Recorder [$0.99] – A good voice recorder if you want to capture any sessions.  There may be better ones out there.  This is just the one I have had forever.  If I remember right, PodCamp is CC by-nc-sa.

Qrafter [free] – This is a great application to both read and create QR codes (that funny looking thing above).

And finally… well it looks like they don’t have it in the iTunes Store anymore.  Since you’re in Pittsburgh, you HAVE to have a comprehensive guide to beer.  You know, something that lists and rates beers.  I need a suggestion for this one!
