GetLeaflets.com - iPhone App You've Got to Have

If you’re one of those iPhone nerds, er, enthusiasts who camped overnight on dirty, cold pavement just to be one of the many firsts to get your hands on the sacred item, GetLeaflets is right up your alley. Leaflets are little, sleek apps, designed for your iPhone; they’ve been specifically tuned to run on AT&T’s EDGE network, which you’ll have to use, of course, if you’re a US iPhone citizen; point is, no mad wi-fi shake downs necessary. Just go to getleaflets.com on your browser and you’ll find a whole directory of offerings; so far they’ve got, the indispensible NYT, Flickr, del.icio.us, Upcoming, search, Newsvine and Le Tour. There’s a feed reader to which feeds from any site can be added, and there’s also a listing of other useful iPhone apps that you might want to take a look at (Twitter, Digg, etc.). Don’t have an iPhone nor the $500+ to purchase one? You can still check out the screenshots and the demo (if you have Safari) on your regular, old computer browser.

“Leaflets are small, mobile web-based applications you access from Safari on your iPhone. And since Leaflets are designed to run fast over AT&T's EDGE network, you can use them anywhere: no wi-fi required. Just visit getleaflets.com from your iPhone to get started. The seeds for Leaflets were planted when we learned that the mobile web would be the primary way to deliver applications to iPhone. We knew what kind of apps we wanted on our own iPhones, so we built those. Then we found a few that other folks had built. Then we put them all together at getleaflets.com. From photos to feeds, Leaflets puts the best iPhone apps at your fingertips.”

Leaflets are utterly practical and also well executed apps that are very much in line with the iPhone mystique. It’s got everything packed up neatly and it’s got that user-friendliness quality which all things Apple must have.

Will iPhone apps get as popular as Facebook apps? Is the market too limited (to the upper crust, well-off digirati?) Will we see more additions to the list?
