IPhone is one of the leading brands of smart phones now available in the market. The “i” in the iPhone stands for individuality. This communicates to what extent Apple Inc., the manufacturers of iPhone, wants it to be customized. The applications add on the features of the mobile phone device to such an extent that the iPhone nearly substitutes the Desk top PC and Laptops.
The applications can be seen from two perspectives. The first perspective could be:

Applications for individual use such as diary organized, games, GPS, and reminders. The second perspective could be the making the websites compatible with the operating system and platform of the iPhone.
One needs to remember that the OS of the iPhone is quite sensitive and is not compatible with the Flash based websites. This means that if the website is designed with Flash and only flash there is a very high probability of losing the buyers who would be trying to access you website through the iPhone.
There are a number of applications now available on the iTunes store. This online store is also owned by Apple Inc. and known for selling iPhone applications only. Once the developer converts the idea into an application, he/she would like to sell it and generate some income. The iTunes serves multiple purposes simultaneously.
• It has emerged as the best place for buying the iPhone applications.
• The developers get self employed. 70% of the proceeds of the sale of the iPhone application are credited to the account of the developers while Apple Inc. just keeps 20% of the proceeds.
• The developers come to know the other applications that are put to sale on the online store.
• The users of iPhone and prospective buyers of iPhone application can compare the features and price of the iPhone applications that are put to sale.
• The online store is increasing the good will of Apple Inc. in the market by providing a scope for employment.
This facilitates the user of the iPhone with two alternatives; either buy a ready-made application from the iTunes store or get the application customized by getting it designed by a professional iPhone application developer. The former alternative just requires you to down load the application online and pay the bill also online. The latter option needs you to go hunting for an application developer who can put your ideas for the target audience in the most attractive manner that is possible. The application developer should be technically sound and reputed.
When your iPhone is having the necessary iPhone applications, it is just like carrying a personal desk top PC or a lap top in your palm. The accesses to the internet and applications pertaining to day to day activities like socializing, managing business, knowing the weather, news, bank transactions make your feel as if you are carrying your personal life and professional life where ever you go in the iPhone that just fits your palm.
