By Andreas D Mullin


The release of the iPhone 4S had the internet abuzz about the possibilities of the new Siri virtual assistant. However, there are a lot of amazing things your iPhone can already do, if you have the right application. So here are a few of iPhone's most useful and coolest apps, many of which can make your life easier, and even save you money.

Your iPhone Can Prevent You From Getting a DUI

Sadly, a lot of folks have thrown caution to the wind and have driven home intoxicated. This is a dangerous choice which can land you in jail or land you a trip to your local Alcoholics Anonymous. Furthermore, in most cases you will get your license suspended, which means it will make more difficult for you to make a living while paying off the hefty fines. There are a few apps that can help you calculate your BAC (blood alcohol concentration), iAlcohol is among the best. Using the included drink list, you can get a good gauge of your BAC, and know when to quit.

Prevents You From Getting A Ticket

On a related note, Trapster is a service that provides you with up-to-date information about potential speed traps in your area. Although the service relies on user updates, some police officers are using it to help inform you of their locations! The Trapster combined with BAC calculator, can really help to keep your driving record clean.

Your iPhone Can Get You Pregnant

Okay, not literally, but it definitely can help. There is a menstrual calendar application that can be downloaded for free, which can help you figure out your fertility window. After you conceive, it can even accurately predict your due date. After birth, the iPhone has yet another surprise for you ...

Your iPhone Can Help You Babysit

Another application for the iPhone lets you use it as a baby monitor. It detects any sound or movement made by the baby when it wakes, and alerts you to this development. Not only can this be great for parents, it can also prove useful for the teen babysitter who will often be on the phone chatting away.

Your iPhone Can Detect Metal

The Silver Metal detector application uses the iPhone 3GS built-in magnetometer to detect metal. While you should probably intend to use this application for entertainment and don't expect to find much, there has actually been some reports of rewarding success using this program. This makes us wonder if having an iPhone really is the most effective way to earn money.

And finally, the best and most useful thing your iPhone can do ...

Your iPhone Can Help You Locate it if it's Lost or Stolen

If you activate the "Find My iPhone" service on your iPhone, you can track it when lost by logging into another iOS device by logging in with the same Apple ID. If you've lost it at home, you can make it sound an alarm. If you suspect it's been picked up or stolen by another person, you can track your iPhone to the suspect's address and send them strongly-worded messages. There are already a few testimonials out there that this application works, and has even prevented potential thieves. However, if the perpetrator is smart enough to shut off the phone or your battery dies, you're probably out of luck.

So don't fret about not being able to get the new iPhone 4S. With newly release apps, you will always find one that will make your phone cool and amusing.
