Tools, tools, tools - III

So this is the iPhone edition of the short snappy tool posts (find Post I and Post II there).

Instapaper - Absolutely indispensable. Lets you mark pages & articles etc in your browser as “Read later”, and then makes these available on your iPhone for portable and offline reading. There’s a free version, but the paid version at something like £3 is definitely worth it - it lets you store more, but more importantly lets you share articles via email, tumblr, twitter etc.

TubeExits - One only for Londoners, this app tells you which carriages to get on to, so you’re closest to the best spot for a line change, or to the destination station exit. Simple idea, backed up lots of good data.

TweetDeck - the iPhone app of the most popular Twitter client. The app is far nicer than the desktop service in fact. I switched from Twhirl to Tweetdeck on the desktop because of this app.
