My favorite BEST and WORST app of 2008!

2009 is just around the corner. So I will just post my favorite and recommended app of the year. You might heard some of them, or you might not.

"Not an app hunter? Been wondering what's the latest and hot app? Well I'll do the hard work and find them for you, you just need to see and try it."

* I purchase only the genuine app from iTunes Store (US). No jailbreaking app here.
* The following list are based on my personal likes and dislike. Might varies depends on individual.
* All app I have listed down have been tried and purchased by me.
* Pricing are as stated at the time I purchased.
* App are sorted in no particular order. I just list them down according to my date of purchase.
* App marked with (*) before their title indicates there is a free lite version (in Paid section) or full version (in Free section) that you can try before purchasing the full version.
* SAMPLE indicates an alternative choice to an app instead of the current one.
