An Engineer’s iPhone
Having an iPhone 3G since the first day of its release, I felt compelled to give & perhaps get an engineer’s view. All these app’s are free. Now there are several, possibly, very useful apps on store for a price but then again, I won’t be covering those.
From how I see it, I can do most of the complex calculations on my computer. An iphone provides a portable platform for checking things quick. If it comes at a price, might as well open up my laptop.
Calculator
iPhone Advanced Calculator
iPhone’s Simple & Advanced Calculator comes to the rescue of those on the spot bulky calculations any day.
GraphCalc (Plotting 2D Graphs)
Graph Calc
Quite self explanatory. Plots upto four 2D equations superimposed on the graph.
Units
Convert anything and everything to your desired units.
iResist
iResist
Having trouble calculating resistance of that odd looking resister in your pocket or perhaps, you need to find out quick which one to use for a desired resistance. iResist is the app for you.
Other General Apps
Most of you already know about these but worth mentioning to those who are new to the app world:
- Zenbe (Lists)
Create & manage tasks and lists. Sync’s over Zenbe server online.
- Air Sharing / Files
Transfer files from & to your iphone wirelessly. - Evernote
Capture notes through text, audio or photo and sync online to your evernote account. Very useful for capturing graphs, calcs you might have done on paper or on whiteboard.
- WhiteNoise
Ah, not really a productivity app but something makes you productive while doing something else. Provides different sounds for a set timer.
