Today’s App of The Day is probably the most expensive one that I’ve posted so far. Of course you get what you pay for, and Jugaari definitely delivers. This is one of the coolest, technologically advanced apps I’ve seen on the iPhone. Jugaari provides a very basic function; allowing you to access your Mac or PC on your iPhone, no matter where you are. You can access files you have on your desktop, use your media player. The iPhone acts as a mouse, and keyboard so you get the functionality of a desktop through your iPhone.

If you’ve never visited Pandora, you’ve really got to check it out. It’s pretty much a personalized radio station that you listen to over your computer. You don’t get to hand pick songs, but you put in an artist or song and it will feed back similar artists and tunes. With Pandora Radio, you can experience this same thing on your iPhone. I’ve found Pandora to be a great way to find new music you’ve never heard, and discover new bands.

For those who are looking to stop smoking, your iPhone can be a neat tool. It might not wow you with impressive features but Quitter can bring some fun and information for your attempt at kicking the habit. Quitter will keep track of how long you’ve gone without a cigarette. Put in the amount you’ve spent on a pack, and how many you smoked, and Quitter will tell you how much money you’ve saved since you’ve quit.

Shazam is probably the coolest App that I’ve posted on FreeMacBlog so far. The app acts like a virtual music library, and for the most part works very well. What Shazam does is help you identify songs simply by having the program listen to it. If you happen to hear a song on the TV, then open up Shazam and put your iPhone up to the speaker. Most of the time the song is in the database for Shazam. I tried it on 15 songs, and 13 of them were identifiable, some which were pretty underground selections.

Going into the Labor Day weekend I got some juicy rumors to report on. According to a Gizmodo reader, he has proof that Apple is looking to find a way to bring a tethering feature to the iPhone. The Gizmodo reader claims to have received an email from Steve Jobs himself and provided them with said email.

This news comes off the banning of Netshare from the App Store. This handy little app (when it was in existence), allowed iPhone users to use their handset as a portable modem for their laptops. The Netshare app had a short lived stay on the App store. Due to its convienent function, the question was “Why Take It Off?”

In the email the reader complains about how Apple should be finding a way to allow tethering, and he wouldn’t mind paying for it. Much to the reader’s surprise, Steve Jobs actually returned his email with this simple statement:

“We agree, and are discussing it with ATT.”

At this point, this could be totally false and nothing but a prank from some idiot. Of course with the banning of Netshare, and the fact AT&T allows tethering on some of their other phones, it’s definitely not too big of a stretch.
