Looking for iPhone apps to blow the minds of the old folks? Grandma may think the Internet is only a tool to send puppy photos to loved ones, but these apps will make her think differently. Prove to the old folks we've reached the age of science fiction technology with the following iPhone apps.
Google Earth - Technology is supposed to deliver the world, and this one does, quite literally, or at least virtually. This iPhone app displays satellite imagery around the world in a 3d globe. It makes a great party trick to truly show the astounding capabilities of the iPhone. It's a free download, so you don't have to spend the earth to view the earth. Check out satellite images of your grandma's front porch and see how her geraniums are doing. Unlike a lot of other iPhone apps, this one is completely free.
SayWhere - While typing into the iPhone may become habitual after a while, punching in addresses to look up directions is always a pain, especially when you are already lost and frustrated enough. SayWhere was one of the first iPhone apps to translate user's speech into queries for Traffic, Google Maps, Yellow Pages or Yelp. It's a great app as it keeps the driver's eyes on the road rather than the phone.
SmackTalk - Feeling a peck guinea pig today? This iPhone app lets you talk like the animals. Though it won't find you directions or help with your finances, it will change your voice to sound like a puppy, kitten, Chihuahua or guinea pig. It repeats everything you say in a high pitched squeak or low frequency voice so you sound just like a cartoon. Why should iPhone apps always have to be serious?
James Oliver's 20 Minute Meals - It used to be the only time you used a phone to cook was to call Mom to ask about a recipe. This iPhone app goes a step farther by calling on world renowned cook Jim Oliver. He gives you full color photos, a video and step by step instructions to make great meals in 20 minutes. Create the perfect dream dinner for a date with your phone as the perfect cook book.
