I’m using the iPhone4 since a while and since a short time I installed an app for checking my app usage stats. I was thinking that it weren’t that much apps. At first I was thinking about making a top 10 iphone apps but I was surprised to see I had 35 apps in my list :

1. Mail – the most used app according the stats was mail, of course due to the usage of push and automatic retrieval
2. WhatsApp – The well-known app for sending text, pictures and video to your mobile phone contacts
3. Facebook – Most popular social network app, surprisingly in my top 3. I think this is caused because Facebook combined chat and messages into one and so they managed to come on place 3
4. Phone – Who statement is that iPhones are not being used as telephone are not talking about me. I didn’t know it either but the phone app is on number 4
5. MobileRSS – a handy app that uses google reader, I use this to read and manage my enormous pile of information
6. Music – Since iOS5 Apple renamed this app to Music, before it was known as the iPod app. I listen a lot of music via my iPhone
7. Settings – I’m tweaking and checking a lot in the settings, which explains why this app is on 7
8. BMI Calc – Tsja… Own made, currently the name is BMI Fast Calc – a free app to calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) . I did a lot of testing that’s the reason why it’s on this spot
9. App Stat – it’s the app I used for checking the usage of my apps
10. Skype – the popular VoIP app
11. Twitter – social media app of Twitter which I use to check news of topics I’m interested in
12. myNZB – with this app you can manage downloads on your SABnzbd installation
13. Safari – the included browser of Apple
14. Opera Mini – another famous browser, I had expected this one to be used more often but I think Safari is 1 spot higher because it’s the internal browser
15. Calendar – Internal calendar feature
16. Messages – SMS text message app
17. Flipboard – since a few days this iPad app also available as iPhone app. Superb application. I use it for reading my Google Reader, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr updates.
18. Camera – sometimes I make a photo or video…
19. Facebook Messenger – chat application from facebook, using this makes it possible to chat realtime
20. Miso – share which TV Series and movies I’m watching, I share it on facebook, sometimes on twitter and my website
21. Hyves – biggest Dutch social network
22. Photos – photo gallery to checkout your own photos and videos
23. Pixelpipe – app where you can publish your photo or video to several services at the same time (I can’t find it anymore in the iTunes Store?)
24. Reminders – internal app which makes it now possible to create a reminder based on location, reminder on arrival or leave and also the reminders of Outlook/Exchange
25. Speedtest.net – check out your current speed of your connection
26. Windows Live Messenger – MSN Live Messenger
27. JaNet – network utility
28. My Xbox Live – little app to do some social networking with your XBOX Live account
29. Firefox home – with app app you can store and retrieve browser history, passwords and favorites on your iPhone, it’s not a browser but you can access everything from your firefox browser of your computer.
30. MobileRSS Pro – same creator as 5. MobileRSS but more features. I prefer 5 because of the loading speed of the articles.
31. Google+ – tsja… I don’t know why I use this.. had something to do with being SEO minded but I don’t see other friends and family using Google+
32. ABN bankieren – App of ABN to use mobile banking on your iPhone
33. HT recorder – App for recording memos on your iphone
34. Contacts – internal app for all your contacts
35. LinkedIn – social network app, LinkedIn is considered a professional social network

It’s a while ago so I was thinking…. time for a new Top 6!

This time the funniest monologues in US talkshows. They all have their own charming ways and one day is different than the other day but if I have to make a choice I choose this top 6…

1. Craig Ferguson (CBS)
2. Conan O’Brien (TBS)
3. Jay Leno (NBC)
4. Jimmy Fallon (NBC)
5. George Lopez (TBS)
6. David Letterman (CBS)

Craig and George are funny with their sexual jokes. Jay and David because of their political jokes. Conan and Jimmy make the best jokes about general happenings…

Update: My top 35 most used iPhone apps of 2011.

1. Formula 1 ’10 Timing App

• When I saw this app on Youtube, I was sure…I had made the correct choice.  This App shows that the iPad is more than just a color eBook reader. It’s worth the price of 30 US$.  I follow Formula One strictly. While watching I have always my statistics with me, realtime. This is a good addition.

8. Photoboard HD

• A funny way to share your photo’s in a natural viewing way…
