50 Free Apps

Posted on November 28, 2010 by Mark Urbin

Life Hacker listed their favorite 50 free apps.

Not a bad list, but I have to disagree with #29.  I don’t use iTunes because I want to. It’s just the safest way to move data on and off my iPhone, including managing podcasts.  The app itself is kludgey and locks up at the drop of a hat, any hat, anywhere.

There are some apps on the list I use and am quite happy with though.

Chrome, Google Apps, Thunderbird, GIMP, VLC, CCleaner, Skype, 7zip, Pandora, and PuTTy.

Overall a good list, worth checking out.

    Sorry — can’t follow your link in Chrome.

    It’s a tough call all around. iTunes isn’t great, but it’s free, and I’d be very interested in seeing how many kids out there are learning Boolean logic from messing with SmartLists.

    I still say that Apple intentionality leaves bugs in the PC version.
