I know that nowadays almost everything is possible online (either on desktop or mobile) but I did not know that iPhone can help students or academics to do their work better. My ignorance ended when I came across the Accredited Online Degrees site posting of the 100 Best iPhone Apps for Academic Types .
From the Brain Tutor 3D (very useful for types like my son Alexander who studies medicine) to a free Wi-Fi finder very useful to everyone. 100 applications really worth looking at, at least if you have an iPhone . ( I don't have one).
