I am a “proud” owner of an IPhone for about a year now. During this time period I have experimented with countless applications to evaluate their worth including both freeware and paid ones. Some of them were nearly worthless while others faired better and still some of them were indeed very useful in practice.

This is the luxury of extensive customization afforded by WordPress and is the reason that WordPress is the most popular CMS although simpler and less featured than some of it’s competitors.
