You can tell a lot about people by their apps. Here, randomly selected New Yorkers— some recognizable names, some not— reveal their current and free smartphone obsessions.
Salman Rushdie, writer
Favorite app: Bump (iPhone/iPod Touch), free
“It’s the one where, if you and I both had iPhones, you bump yours against mine and it exchanges our information.”
Katie Couric, anchor, CBS Evening News
Favorite app: TwitterBerry (Blackberry), free
“Makes tweeting really easy, like sending a text message.”
Will Swenson ,actor, Hair
Favorite app: Sheep Launcher (iPhone/iPod Touch), free
“You have to launch a sheep into space. If you’re good, he goes to the planets. I’ve gotten to Jupiter, but my 8-year-old son has sent him all the way to Uranus.”
Jason Chen, editor, Gizmodo
Favorite app: Kindle (iPhone/iPod Touch), free
“It’s basically the equivalent of a Kindle e-reader you can have with you anywhere.”
Nick Miscione, sales clerk, Metro Bikes
Favorite app: Big Oven (iPhone/iPod Touch), free
“You get 160,000 recipes. I punch in ‘lasagne’ or ‘chili’ while I’m walking into the grocery store.”
I personally like the Sheep Launcher.

There is an App for that!
My favorites on my IPhone are:
ISign Language, ITranslator, and WordWarp...
Never a dull moment with Apps that keep you
learning. If I find something additional, rather...
a bit more exciting (like sheep launcher), I will sign
back on and share. In the meantime, if I look busy, it is not because I am on Twitter, it is because I am working my Apps!
