# Favorite Mobile Apps of RWW Staff

![](https://web.archive.org/web/20120201201522im_/http://rww.readwriteweb.netdna-cdn.com/images/iphone_apps_logo_aug09.jpg)Every now and then we publish the favorite mobile apps or sites of the ReadWriteWeb staff. The last time we did this was [November 2009](https://web.archive.org/web/20120201201522/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/your_favorite_mobile_apps_of_2009_reader_survey.php), however with our [Mobile Summit](https://web.archive.org/web/20120201201522/http://www.eventbee.com/view/mobilesummit) just around the corner we wanted to give you an updated list. We’re all early adopters of mobile technology here at ReadWriteWeb, so have a scan of our favorite apps and see what catches your eye.

We’d also love to know your current favorites, because that’s a great way to keep our finger on the pulse. Please note **your favorite mobile apps or sites** in the comments.

**Jared Smith** (“The Lone Blackberrier”)

- Twitter for BlackBerry official app–direct message push via the BlackBerry system is an awful nice touch
- Seesmic for BlackBerry–fills a big gap in the official Twitter client by letting me support multiple accounts; probably the program that’s easiest on my resources aside from the official client
- MyKite–still my go-to to check in on Brightkite on BlackBerry
- Rowmote (I use it on an iPod touch)–extremely inexpensive and powerful alternative to the Apple Remote for controlling a Mac.
- RadarScope (on iPod touch)–still the best mobile radar viewer on any platform.
