iPhone AppsIt’s now been over a year since we first gazed upon the well-stocked shelves of the iTunes App Store. While our Top iPhone Apps were tough to choose the first time around, the task was even tougher a year later, with over 65,000 apps now cluttering up the marketplace. Even for a specific task like calculating your blood alcohol content after a night of drinking, you can find over a dozen apps that fit the bill. That’s a lot of apps. Which ones belong on your phone? We scoured the App Store yet again to deliver our favorites in five different categories.

Not impressed by all the whiz-bang features in Apple’s iPhone, Palm’s Pre, or any of the dozens of phones now running Google Android? Hey, not everybody drives a Mercedes, and not everybody needs a phone that can augment its camera view with ratings for surrounding restaurants in real time. For folks who like to get things done, Microsoft’s Windows Mobile operating system still cuts it, and more recently, manufacturers have been going to wild extremes to make it look and behave like something different entirely. Here are five of the best Windows Mobile smartphones on the market today.

Best Premium and Luxury DSLR Cameras

Nikon-D90Nikon D90

Street Price: $1100

The Nikon D90 is ample proof that one no longer need drop immense gobs of money for a truly great quasi-professional digital camera. At a hair above the $1000 mark, it has received more accolades than the vast majority of the cameras currently available and will handle most everything that demanding photographers could want, except “full frame” duties (more on that in a moment).

Check out our Nikon D90 Review.

Best Micro Four-Thirds Cameras

Olympus-PEN-E-P1 Olympus PEN E-P1

Street Price: $600

One of the first Micro Four-Thirds cameras on the market, the PEN E-P2 features a retro styling and a rather basic control set that appeals to many. Now that Olympus has released the follow-up (the PEN E-P2, see below), the original has become that much more affordable. If SLR-like operation and interchangeable lenses appeal to you, yet you yearn for compactness and a near-blowout price, by all means check this one out.

Digital Cameras and DSLR Cameras – Ultimate Shopping Guide 2010

sony-alpha-line

When the digital camera first snapped its way onto the public consciousness amidst a spray of flashing lights in the early 1990s, the reaction was somewhat less than stellar. Why? While the promise of a camera that didn’t require film and allowed us to instantly preview images was positively magical, early representations of the concept weren’t quite as impressive, leading many to believe the film camera would still be with us for a very, very long time.
