I reviewed Juxtaposer a few weeks back. It is by far the "funnest" iPhone camera app yet.

We’ve given away a few copies already and…  have a few more to give out tomorrow night.

If you want to get organized in 2009 there is no better way than with Appigo’s suite of three excellent iPhone apps.

If you use an iPhone and Toodledo you are likely familiar with Appigo’s ToDo and Notebook.

ToDo and Notebook sync perfectly with Toodledo’s task management. (ToDo also works with Remember The Milk!)

AccuFuel helps you keep track of  your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

Together, the three make a powerful trio.

You can learn about each on Appigo’s website.

You can win all three by leaving a comment here and in our forums before 6pm est tomorrow (Jan 31) night.

I’ve been happily using ABContacts for a number of months now. As I said in my initial review, it is everything that the native contacts application should have been.

It enables the user to add new context faster and easier than ever before, and permits isolating contacts according to company, city, state, country etc. It also makes it easy to quickly e-mail contact information to others.  The best feature, by far, is the ability to double tap a contact and immediately pull up all of the various ways in which that context can be reached — phone number, SMS, e-mail etc. In other words, it takes all of the data resident in the context application that adds a high degree of additional functionality.

An update that was released just this evening adds a few nice features. In the new version, contacts that are not filed are now placed under the group name "unfiled". The "double tap" that pulls up all of the various ways to contact someone can now be done with slower, allowing it to function more accurately than it did previously. In addition, you can now BCC when doing a mass mailing. Most importantly —

My pals over on Gear Diary and I shared our favorite apps. Tops are Evernote, ToDo, Facebook, Twittelator Pro and eWallet.

Our reader jnamcharg shared his favorite apps (Evernote, Facebook, Google Mobile App, Shazam, Snaptell, Orb Live, Pandora/Last FM, eReader, Labrinth LE, and NYTimes app) and will soon be enjoying his new Etymotic hf2s.

Here are the top apps some of our readers recommend to their mythical friend John. John just got a new iPhone and on it should be……

An interesting piece over on ars technica suggests that there are tons of new iPod Touch users thanks to the holiday season.

The post notes that the Touch earned top spots in Amazon’s sales ranking.

And the proof goes on. App sales spiked Christmas day, suggesting that many had just unwrapped a shiny new Touch and were going to town downloading everything in sight. (Remember those days veteran users??)

So yes, all indications are that a lot of folks are getting started with new devices.  So what are we doing about it? A Lot! 

I love Jott  and use it all the time.

Back when we first started this site I  chronicled of my search to determine which of the  iPhone voice to text services worked best for me. Ultimately, it is Jott that I use every single day. I use it to send messages to my assistant and, more often, to simply send messages to myself. Jott is particularly useful when I’m in the car and think of something that I must remember. I start Jott’s  iPhone application or I call Jott’s  number and start to speak. My Jott Pro plan gives me 30 seconds of recording time. That’s usually enough time for a brief  message and  when it’s not, I just called back. Yes,  there are many days when I am a "serial Jotter".

After so many months using the service, "Who do you want to Jott?"  is now burned into my memory along with "Have it your way",  "Where’s the beef?", and "I want my MTV."

Jott came out of beta a number of months back. It was only reasonable that at some point they would need to move in a direction toward profitability. Some people grumbled about the pricing plan,  mostly, I suspect, because they were used to getting the service for free. I happen to think the  company  came up with incredibly fair plan. If you want to use Jott  for free there is still an option to do so. In fact, that option even includes the iPhone application! If, however, you want the option to leave longer messages and to have them e-mailed to you (if you use the "call in" approach  since the iPhone application doesn’t do that)  you can choose one of the other plans. They begin at just $3.95 a month.

I opted for an annual Jott Pro plan and think it’s a good value.  For that I get to leave messages that are 30 seconds long, I can use Jott  for iPhone,  Blackberry, Outlook, and Jott Express.  I have access to all of the Jott Links  (there are too many to mention) and each time I leave a message in e-mails it to me.

The good folks at Jott  have been kind enough to offer a one-year subscription to the plan of one WOiP reader’s choice. We cannot thank them enough for their generosity and think this is one great giveaway. What better prize during our "Get Organized in 2009" giveaway.

We love sharing our thoughts about the best and the worst applications out there.

When we look at an application we do our best to give you as good an overview as we can and to make a specific recommendation as possible.

One of the best things, however, is when we give our perspective and you share your take, as well.

More and more we would like to see the site become a forum for all of us, as end users, to share our thoughts and ideas.

In fact, our final contest is focused on doing just that…
