It’s hard to believe that only a year after the iPhone app store opened its doors on the web that nearly 60,000 iPhone apps have been created. Some serve important purposes. Others aren’t worth the battery juice they’ll sap.

Here are a few iPhone apps worth noting. Try a few on for size and see how they fit.

1. Hey Where Are You? Although you might not want to be trailed by the government and bill collectors, letting friends and family know where you live has its advantages. With this iPhone app, users ask and answer the question, “Hey, where are you?” Keep them up to date of your activity and location, and keep track of other friends and family members as well. Hanging out at the Jupiter for a few beers on a Friday night? Let the crowd know, and soon you’ll have a crowd. Kick it better by helping friends know where they can find you. This is one of those iPhone apps that make it easier to connect.

2. Print and Share Let’s be honest. Our printing ambitions usually end up as pipe dreams. Sure, I’ll get you that New Year’s Eve photo as soon as I recover from New Years, but I’ll probably lose it all in the New Year’s Day hangover. The best intentions don’t get off the ground unless we act on them right way. Print and Share lets your iPhone tell your computer to print, so you can print the goods while you are far away from home. It’s one of the good iPhone apps that make it easier to do today what could easily be put off until tomorrow.

3. Read it later. How often do you come across the most interesting web page when your hands are already full? One of the reasons the Internet can be such a big time sucker is what we discover on accident. Come across an interesting web page, and you might not have time to read it, even though you need to learn and probably won’t be able to find the page again. Like many of the iPhone apps available for easier information, Read It Later allows you to save pages to your iPhone so you can check out that article on global warming or bamboo bikes from your cell phone as you ride the bus.
