O'Grady's Best iOS apps of 2012
2012 was not only the year of the app, it was the year that third-party apps eclipsed their Apple counterparts. For the first time the best email, calendar, notes, camera and messaging apps for iOS don't come from Cupertino. It's easy to say that Apple has lost a step or that the pace of innovation has slowed, but I'm more inclined to think that hungry developers increasingly see Apple's stagnant iOS apps as an opportunity and are capitalizing on it. So recharge your iTunes account balance, it's time to replace most (if not all) the apps on your home screen. Click on the "Next" link above for a gallery of my favorite iOS apps of 2012.

Remote
Perhaps the most useful for me has been Jump Desktop for remote connection to PC's either by VNC or RDP. So well written, stable, smooth, cleverly laid out on iPad (but especially on the small iPhone display) that you wish all apps were done by these guys.
Support/responsiveness from developers top-notch.
