Right, what have we got this week? First there’s Listen. Maybe the name iShell was already taken. So what does it do? You pick a shell and hold it up to your ear, then “close your eyes, take a deep breath, and relax. You’ll feel the weight of the world lift off your shoulders.”

Really? For a dollar? That’s pretty cheap.

“The iPhone screen will turn off once you put it close to your head, so if you’re in a dark room you can forget your (sic) even holding a phone.”

Wow, that’s certainly worth a buck. It’s an app that makes me forget I’m holding the phone! Best not used while walking.

Official Shakespearian Insulter is a neat way to insult “your boss, children, parents, your dog or cat, and all others not falling into the above categories.”

I was going to write something sarcastic about this but the more I think about it, the more I think it might be quite useful.
