NPR News Who doesn't love NPR? This app is awesome. I love listening to the news AND it runs in the background. Recommend!

Huffington Post I hope AOL doesn't change-up HuffPo. For now, I still enjoy reading it and love the video and sideshows. Recommend!

BBC News A must-have for the news addict. Well designed and easy to navigate. Recommend!

The Guardian One way the Smartphone has changed my life is that I am able to access any news source available from around the world in an instant. This app is one of my favorite news sources. Well designed and easy to use. Recommend!

Innovation Nation I can't believe I haven't heard about this earlier. This app is super cool. It's a contest for inventors and it also has video clips of cool consumer gadgets. Best gadget I've come across so far is the Cinemin Swivel Pocket Projector. In short, it turns your iPhone into a projector without a need for a tripod. How cool is that! Highly Recommend!
