TiPb Picks of the Week: LogMeIn, Masters Golf, TwittMS, Delivery Status touch, Surf Report
Every week a few of us from team TiPb, bloggers and forum crew alike, will bring you our current favorite, funnest, most useful App Store apps, WebApps, jailbreak apps, even the occasional accessory, web site, or desktop app if the mood strikes us. As long as they're iPhone (or iPod touch) related, they're fair game.
So who's on deck this week and what are our picks? Find out after the break!
Chad's Pick: LogMeIn Ignition
I use LogMeIn for my Mac and PC already and this app for iPhone makes LogMeIn that much more useful. This is the BEST option out there that I have tried for remotely accessing your desktop. [$29.99 - iTunes link]
jamesus' Pick: The Masters Golf Tournament
For those who follow golf, this is a great free app that gives you the leaderboard, couse video flyovers and streaming video from Amen Corner. [Free - iTunes link]
msbaylor's Pick: TwittMS
An application that turns your Twitter account into an SMS-like application I never really thought of Twitter as using it as an "SMS" app, as for one, the interface didn't feel right. But this application takes care of that. It acts just like SMS but with some cool features. [$1.99 - iTunes link]
Rene's Pick: Delivery Status touch
Nothing's more difficult than waiting for that glorious new box from Apple, but having an app -- that doesn't require a web registration -- to count down and keep track of it's progress helps. A little. [$2.99 - iTunes link]
Special Guest Pick from CrackBerry Kevin: Surf Report
Of course there's no actual ocean nearby Winnipeg for me to get a surf report on, but it makes me feel less depressed about the snow outside knowing there are places in the world where people are actually surfing right now. Oakley's Surf Report warms me. [FREE - iTunes link]

The Masters app!
Par 72 Golf... best $2 I've ever spent
On TwittMS -- So I am a Twitter user and really like the light-weight, easy to use aspect that it provides. What I don't like is the lack of emotion that exists even when using TwittMS. That's why I use PhotoShare -- an iPhone application (yes, I am co-founder) that starts with a photo from the iPhone camera and allows users to add comments, mash photos up, add text, etc. It's interactive and adds a visual component into the stream which is missing from Twitter. PhotoShare can push photos (through a link) to Twitter. There is a place for services like Twitter, but I think PhotoShare provides a much richer and better experience for users. http://www.bcphotoshare.com.
For this week there can be no app but the masters app. Like I say every year spring in Georgia and the masters go hand in hand like a bowlegged woman and a knock-kneed man. No offense to those bowlegged women or knock-kneed men out there.
LogMeIn is the sh!t!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed the masters yesterday and pleased Mickelson won.
