Free Apps roundup for June 26th, 2009

You might want to grab some popcorn and a few extra napkins this week. Why? Because Showtime has released their iPhone app that allows streaming of full episodes of some of their TV shows. Oh, and the extra napkins are for the butter that will enevitably end up all over your iPhone. So maybe you want to skip the popcorn. I also have another virtual instrument for you to play, and some more goodies. Check it out…

• Showtime – If you watch Showtime now, or want to start, this is the app for you. You can watch hundreds of clips, even over 3G! And by clips, they sometimes mean full episodes of shows like Dexter, Weeds, etc. Enjoy.
• Ukulele – Guitars are cool, and a ukulele is pretty close. This is a surprisingly well made virtual instrument app. Don’t hate me for saying that a ukulele is kind of a novelty instrument anyway, so it’s almost fitting to be on an iPhone. If you have any interest in musical instruments, download this one right now.
• B&N Bookstore – Your favorite bookstore now has it’s own iPhone app. You can search for all of your needs, find the closest B&N and even view their upcoming schedule of events.
• DigDug REMIX Lite – Remember DigDug? Yeah, great game. Random fact, I once beat level 99. The original game reset itself to level 00, but the difficulty kept increasing. Here’s a challenge for you, if you buy the full version, try to beat level 99.
• MobileRice – It’s the mobile version of FreeRice.com. Prove your vocabulary knowledge to earn grains of rice for those in need. Everyone wins here.
• Remote – Finally, don’t forget to grab the updated version of Apple’s Remote app, especially if you have an Apple TV. Now you can control it with touch based gestures!
