If you haven’t heard of Trulia, it’s one of the most amazing real estate mashups available on the web. Now Trulia has released its application to iPhone which allows you to go through home listings right on your phone. It’s simply brilliant, and it can definitely kill some time if you are stuck in a bad situation. In fact, you can check home listings when waiting behind red lights. Is that cool or what?

This iPhone things gets better and better.

Unless you haven’t been checking out the iPhone Apps store, you have probably had a chance to check out hundreds of cool apps that are available for your shiny iPhone. I know many of my friends have bought a ton of iPhone apps that they don’t even use on their phones. So I am curious to know how many have you bought? Have you been keeping up with the store:

Before trying Flipbook iPhone App, I thought it was only a doodling app. Really. If you go to the iPhone Apps store, you basically see an app that looks like it’s only good for doodles. But a friend of mine who has tried it told me that you can do more than just that. It’s simply a pocket animation studio. From layering to playing with colors, you can do it all with Flipbook. I personally like the fact that you can tap and start working with the selection of tools. Even my Grand Pa had no trouble using it. The only thing that I have against the app is the price really. $9.99 for an iPhone app is a lot unless you are an animation freak. But then again, I spent twice as much weekly on “how to make $10,000,000 in 2 seconds” books.

It seems a lot of people do that with their iPhone. I was just checking the iTunes store for the newest iPhone Apps and to my surprise, the Crazy Disco iPhone App is the top seller iPhone application. I admit. This application is decent unlike the “I am rich” app but still, of all the applications available on the iTunes, one would believe that the killer app does more than just Disco.

Now that’s not a question you hear everyday, and I truly didn’t want to go there. But after seeing some nice dude selling a useless iPhone app for $999, then I just had to say it. The Am I rich application which is going for $999 on iTunes store is to remind the rich people that they are rich. It absolutely does nothing else. Do I expect people to fall for this latest lame tactic? Absolutely. If people can pay $1000 to get a piece of paper with the word “PS3″ on it (that actually happened on eBay), then they can pay for this junk too. There are only four reasons why anyone would fall for this:

• You are filthy rich, but you have not worked a minute for your wealth. So you can afford to throw around money like it’s nothing.
• You are a poor guy but trying to pretend hard that you are rich. Having a useless $999 app can help you do that.
• You are an idiot who don’t know the difference between the moon and an Apple.
• You are a sucker, thinking that buying this application is a long-term investment that will make you rich.

So don’t be a sucker. Ignore the “are you an idiot” app.
